In Katarina’s interview there were 15 units ofdata (16%) placed in the theme related to knowledge gains and Estelle’s interview there were 39units of data (20%). Every technique Katarina was introduced to in the laboratory was new to her, so she hadto rely on the research group to teach her how to perform the techniques. Her graduate studentmentor expected her to write laboratory reports on each the laboratory techniques that shelearned. As challenging as the

to account for complementary topics,two text mining techniques were applied in five years segments by extracting 6 and 10 topicsfrom the corpus of documents associated with each segment. Latent Semantic Analysis andLatent Dirichlet Allocation are two text mining techniques commonly used for topic extractionover large volumes (corpora) of text documents producing a summary of topics that describe theentire corpus of documents. These topics were then analyzed to determine how the overallengineering education evolved over a period spanning approximately three decades. The resultsindicate the overall engineering education has evolved from teaching basic engineering anddesign skills, computers, systems and processes; to creative teaching

students in authentic, ill-structured engineering tasks facilitates the development oftheir engineering skills.1-3To facilitate students’ authentic practice of these skills we have developed a learning systembased on virtual laboratories. In this learning system, student teams take on the role of processdevelopment engineers. They are tasked with finding suitable input parameters to be released tohigh volume manufacturing through experiments that are completed virtually. When studentsperform experiments, the lower cognitive demand affords them the opportunity to build a richexperimental design. While not instructed to do so, most student teams inevitably resort tomodeling as a tool to progress towards completion.Student team modeling practices are

alternatives to prevalent educationalpractices. For example, a variety of educational approaches were presented in the plenarysession of the 2011 ASEE annual conference. Examples of some of the approaches presentedincluded active learning, formative assessment as a strategy to support learning, and problem-based learning. Each description of an approach included a summary of research-based evidenceon specific educational impacts. The National Science Foundation, which funds projects forimproving STEM education through its Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement(CCLI) and Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) programs, has sponsoredforums in which panels of practitioners and scholars were commissioned to investigate the issueof

However, there is limited research to addresshow many faculty members are using these strategies, or when they do implement them, whetherthey are following the theory and steps as intended by the developers.

Experience suggests that students have substantialdifficulty with combined loadings, but it is unclear why this is true.Understanding how theories of conceptual change may fit student misconceptions inengineering disciplines is ultimately useful because it could inform teaching practices.For example, if what is proposed in this paper has validity then spending time withstudents on how objects move and change shape under a variety of loads may help dispelthe myth that stresses only act in the direction of applied loads.Acknowledgements This material is based upon work supported by the National Science FoundationCourse Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement Program under Grant
