documented well that in many engineering science courses, deepunderstanding of the subject material is usually associated with a good understanding ofconcepts. Therefore, it became necessary to organize the educational research in identifyingcore concepts and then to finding means of gauging students understanding of those concepts.With this goal in mind, several authors outlined in the reference section published theirfindings in many conferences. This paper describes some of the results from using StaticsOLI to measure students‟ background in Statics concepts and the measures taken to offer helpsessions to the students needing better understanding of the concepts.Engineering Statics is a subject that is very important to draw a high level of

willing to give their teammates low peerevaluations12.All of the methods tried thus far were based entirely on peer evaluations and have been relativelytime consuming for the instructors. With this in mind, we sought out an automated method that isnot based on peer evaluations to help the instructors determine if an adjustment to an individual’sgrade was necessary.MethodsSamplingThe grade adjustment method presented in this paper was evaluated using an introductoryfreshmen engineering course (ENGR 100) at the University of Nevada, Reno. The course is arequired multi-disciplinary first-year engineering course that is taken by all engineering majorsand was developed with funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation13. This courseis taught
tool used inindustry and maybe to make some students to pursue a career in energy industry or to enroll ingraduate programs in the energy field. It is important to encourage students to learn to use suchkind of software packages that work with renewable energy systems. Because by taking theadvantage of such tools students can learn and adapt better solutions to fix the energy problemissues. It is is important to keep in mind that how we are using the energy today will shape theway how we live in the future.References1.

transactional frame ofmind: their attention was on how the activity would meet their course requirements and expandtheir career-related experience. The engineering students approached the project from a relationalframe of mind; their attention was on the needs of the client. The end result was that the client,who had participated in three consecutive years of “service learning” projects, declined toparticipate in future collaborations.One of the consequences of putting a priority on the relationships is that the completion ofprescribed projects may then be secondary. Task oriented people may find these types of CEprojects as “accomplishing little” because the accomplishments are not in the visible physicaldomain. When the focus is “relational,” the

As both Kram’s and Nyquist &Wulff ’s models show, the roles and expectations of supervisors and mentors must also developalong with their students for this process to work.
