The historical development of engineering into aprofession highlighted the engineer’s role in social development and progress; the tradeoffsnecessary in engineering decision-making; and the need to anticipate “unintended consequences”and identify stakeholders who may be silent or lack social power.Student learning outcomes are listed in Table 1.Student work included several design projects, with documentation in the form of hand and CADdrawings, written descriptions, and oral presentations; design problem definition assignments;and writing assignments in which students reflected on their experiences and responded toreading assignments.

Additionally, they nowmore intuitively grasp the concept and purpose of the FFT.Conclusion:Analyzing vibrations and understanding the role of the Fast Fourier Transform can be difficultfor students to grasp. Utilizing this lab has allowed the students to visualize, perhaps for the firsttime, what vibrations mean, how to utilize accelerometers in measuring vibrations, and how theresults can be given more meaning with the Fast Fourier Transform.

. Alternativesto homework including projects or portfolios can improve student learning, but require moretime and are harder to evaluate.Trying to use homework problems for which students cannot find a solution becomes an armsrace between the instructor and the students. This may require a significant amount of time fromthe instructor which could be better spent improving curricula or conducting research.Transitioning away from homework and adopting a newer pedagogical strategy would alsorequire significant effort on the part of the instructor which may or may not be beneficial in thelong term.Finally, catching cheaters is typically stressful, time consuming and can create a tension betweenthe student and instructor making it less likely for a student to

Interviews with these students indicated that themain reason for leaving engineering was difficulty with calculus, chemistry, or physics.
