In my Engineering in History course, I look for ways to (1) help students see theconnections between technological innovation and societal advancement and (2) make learningthe important “facts” more engaging. While playing Team Trivia at a restaurant with friends, Ithought of adapting that game to review for tests in my course.The objective of this activity is to promote content review before an exam.

Evolution of a Concept Question​ and the Effect on Student ResponsesAbstract. A total of 1,685 responses from three different versions of a ConcepTest in the Concept Warehouse areevaluated (557, 881, and 247 responses for Versions 1, 2, and 3, respectively). In all responses, students were askedto choose the correct answer and provide a written explanation of their answer choice. The underlying issue of thequestion is for the student to discover a lack of moment equilibrium in the provided Free Body Diagram. Theprimary result of the work suggests that a question phrasing with the explicit question “can the body be in staticequilibrium,” rather than asking if the Free Body Diagram is “possible” or “suitable,” is more

In some ways, the importance ofsustainability has been recognized in engineering for decades. For example, in a 2004 report theNational Academy of Engineering called for engineering education that prepares engineers forconsidering sustainability “in all aspects of design and manufacturing” [1, p. 21]. In 2006, theNational Society of Professional Engineers added a professional obligation to its Code of Ethicsencouraging engineers to follow principles of sustainable development [2], [3].
