Instructors reference previous feedback when watching a student toensure that they don’t repeat past difficulties, and that they are continuously improving.4.0 Lessons LearnedIn this section, we focus on lessons learned that might be useful for other institutions. These arebased on our own experience as instructors as well as feedback based on exit surveys, but moreimportantly, from alumni who experienced the new interventions listed earlier.

It shows an I-section where I-beams areused to transfer the load of one floor to a lower floor. These high beams are high strength structuralsteel member of the entire building. Again one cannot over-emphasized I-beams are stronger becauseit two flanges and it thicker cross-web can hold more load. They are also used because they have abetter strength/mass ratio, in architecture mass is critical as the more mass you use the more supportyou need. And that is also why gantries are made from I-beams only.Student B Spring 2016 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 8-9, 2016 GWUBecause it is still in its early phase, as the

Spring 2016 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 8-9, 2016 GWUIn a study that involved over 200 engineering consultancies it was discovered that “thesecompanies don’t just wait for inspiration to strike, and they don’t just wait for customers todeliver problems to them. They actively seek opportunities for the sort of innovation that willproduce Intellectual Property (IP) that they can sell. What was interesting was that this searchwas not just an individual, ad hoc process, but was something deliberate and thoughtful, and thatthe companies developed methods for pushing their thinking and then propagated those methodsacross the company.”From this study, it is obvious that innovation is an integral part of any
