During the third year summer camp a coordinator was hired for the grant and tasked withorganizing and running a sustainable summer camp program. The current camp is gearedtowards a smaller number of participants (20-40 instead of 60-70). The individual sessions arelonger to accommodate more-involved experiments and extended interactions with collegestudents. This experiential approach to engineering instruction is well supported in the literature.Richard Felder, one of the seminal researchers in the field of engineering education, contendsthat taking a more active approach in teaching engineering

Since studentsare expected to be problem-solvers within the engineering workplace after graduation, itis important that they understand the nature of those problems that they will encounterand the specific challenges they are going to face in the real world.Not many researchers have investigated students’ perceptions of engineering workplaceproblem solving. Some of the existing studies we have found suggest that students mightnot have a good understanding of engineering workplace.

While the concept behind the structure was originally developed at theUniversity of Pittsburgh at Johnstown 1, the current laboratory procedure has expanded theconcept by simplifying the structure, adding in an inexpensive adjustable vibration source thatallows for the exploration of multiple modes, and expanding the mounting possibilities of theaccelerometer(s).In conducting this lab, students gain experience with the mounting and use of accelerometers,learn about

Next, the event(s) associated with each function are identified as shownin Table I. The two events that are monitored during this portion of the investigation are thelocation of left/right mouse clicks and keystrokes. If a key or combination of keys is used thatfalls within the list of needed keys to execute a function, the student is classified as being on-task. However, if a key or combination of keys is used that falls outside of the list of needed keysto execute a function, the student is classified as being off-task.
