have to work really hard.” Ashley began thinking about whether she wanted tograduate in four or five years and if she would take classes or intern over the summer. STEP alsohelped her realize that “you don’t particularly have to be intelligent or less intelligent tounderstand concepts. You’re just going to have to try harder.” With regards to interest andenjoying engineering, she believed she would better enjoy engineering since she now had“experience in these classes” and would be more comfortable since she “understand[s] theamount of work” required. With regards to caring, STEP convinced Ashley that the college caresabout her academically and personally. Specifically, the center director led her to believe that “Ifyou’re willing to help
environmentssuccess should mainly be understood as personal growth or development. In other words, success Page 24.597.7should not be understood as reaching certain position or achieving specific goals, but as adeveloping process. The following quote from one faculty member summarizes this point: ―Ibelieve it [i.e. success] also includes professional development (is the professional gettingsmarter? Is s/he developing their expertise?) I guess I am looking for growth.‖ Severalparticipants specifically mentioned that both academic and professional success should beindividually
behind theschoolhouse at the compound. The weather station provides data year-round and can be stored onthe staff’s computer to be emailed to The Ohio State University or other service teams for futuredevelopment of wind energy. If a 1 kW wind turbine can be successfully constructed andconnected to the electric grid and the average wind speed can reach 5 m/s, this type of turbinecould produce around 1,000 kWh annually. This would equate to $280 in yearly savings, andpossibly allow MdL to have access to some power even when the main power is down. Multiplewind turbines could greatly increase these savings, provided that the first prototype is successful.Future teams can use recorded data to find accurate savings

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. Toward this end, the fellowship program thatwe describe in the next section and throughout this paper was designed to support students asthey practice the roles of faculty alongside mentors who are near-peers, thus supporting thetransition between the “colleague-in-training” and the “junior colleague” stages of development.Creating a Graduate Student-to-Faculty Fellowship Program The Rising Engineering Education Faculty fellowship (REEFF) was designed with asingle objective in mind: to develop a self

authentic engineering experience to use asthe focus of their essay.II. BackgroundStatics is considered by many to be a foundational class, full of threshold concepts that aredifficult for students to grasp (perhaps partly because students often have to unlearn their oldconcepts). It has been stated that “Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that masteryof this area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something”1. Some educators, such as Steif and Dollar, are concerned that evenamong those who successfully pass the class there are those with poor conceptualunderstanding2.

Paper ID #9724Examining the Engineering Design Process of First-Year Engineering Stu-dents During a Hands-on, In-class Design Challenge.Ms. Jessica E S Swenson, Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach Jessica Swenson is a graduate student at Tufts University. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with a research focus on engineering education.

Her current research involves examining the design process of undergraduate students
inventory management; material requirements planning; just intime practices; and maintenance and reliability. This course is designed to provide students witha brief introduction to these topics so that they can better choose which areas they wish to pursuein more depth later in the program.At program inception in the 1970’s, all courses were taught in traditional classroom settings. Inthe l990’s the program experimented with distance delivery through the use of VHS tapedlectures, and the Introduction to Operations Management course was the first to be delivered inthis format. Driven by improving educational technology, course content delivery moved fromVHS tapes to CDs, and eventually to fully online courses. As the distance component of the

shortcomingsrelated to student academic achievement and persistence in the medium as central to theirconcern. 73.5% of the chief academic officers surveyed about online learning in 2012 indicatedthat the low persistence rate of students in online courses was likely to be a key barrier tocontinued growth of the medium.1Studies suggest that the persistence rate to degree for students in online programs can be as lowas 60%3, and therefore addressing the root cause(s) of this shortcoming represents a significantopportunity for improving the acceptance and impact of online education. While 88.8% ofacademic leaders believe that lower retention rates are due to a lack of discipline on the part ofthe online learner1, various studies indicate that the extent to which
