≠ Test discoverer questions ≠ Assigned as a in- class followed by take home exerciseBased on our experience, we have identified the major factors that contribute to the success ofMEA implementation [5]. An important factor influencing MEA success is the guidance fromthe instructor throughout MEA implementation. Limited, corrective guidance can best ensurethat students are properly focused and are addressing the targeted concept(s), especially wherethe solution time is constrained. Such guidance may be

Two weeks of in-class time is devoted to eachmodule. Students are arranged in teams of three or four per group with the group assignmentsalternating between self-selected, random or purposefully chosen. The first period of each two-week block is used to introduce the topic, discuss any new analytical or numerical techniquesthat are relevant and, lastly, talk briefly about the broader societal issue(s) that each modulebrings forth. The remaining two class periods then are used by the students to work on finishingthe module. It should be pointed out that though students are put into

. The physical properties of the accelerometer included sensitivity of102 mv/(m/s^2), a frequency range of 0 to 100 Hz, and a 10 Hz phase response of under 3°1.The accelerometer contains a voltage regulator integrated within its structure. This allows forexternal power to be supplied by any source within the 10 to 30 VDC excitation range. Thechange is capacitance is detected by a capacitance bridge where each arm of the bridge functionsas a capacitance divider. The outputs of the bridge are then amplitude modulated signals that aredirectly proportional to the changes in capacitance. A series of diodes and capacitors within theaccelerometer are used to demodulate the signals which are then summed, amplified, and filteredto provide a voltage

In the 1990’s,ABET, the engineering accreditor of postsecondary degree-granting programs, revamped theprogram outcomes and assessment criteria to improve quality by implementing the EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC2000).5 Beginning in 2001, all accredited engineering programs were requiredto demonstrate that their graduates possess the following eleven skills (known as a-k): ≠ Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; ≠ Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to
