Page 25.1159.2The type of active learning in this research project differs from that of Dr. Felder in that itinvolves the use of hands-on activities. The hands-on activities are models that give a three-dimensional shape to the experiences and concepts that we know. The models allow the studentto touch, feel and play so that they can first solidify their knowledge of the concept and thenconnect it to a potentially new experience and concept. The hands-on activities were designedfor use in the fluid mechanics classroom to have the student move; first by getting up to get thematerials and second by having them build the model.The inspiration for creating hands-on activities for an undergraduate Fluid Mechanics coursecame from working with North

inSpring 2011. The course is a graduate ECE course, and can also be chosen by undergraduatestudents as a technical elective. In Spring 2011, we have 15 enrolment, of which there are 3undergraduate students. The course discusses advanced topics in autonomous and intelligentmobile robots, and we introduced the micro-robots as a special topic during the second half ofthe semester. We used a modified challenge-based pedagogy.In a typical challenge-based implementation, a complex problem (the challenge) is presentedto the students. Students then generate ideas based on what they already know and what theywill need to know to solve the problem. This step can be materialized using the case studiesdeveloped under the project. In the second step, students

Engineering Ethics
Education sets a high bar for engineering educators. It states 4:“…To educate students to cope with ethical problems, the first task of the teacher is to makestudents aware of ethical problems and help them learn to recognize them. A second task is tohelp students understand that their projects affect people for good or ill, and that, as “moralagents” they need to understand and anticipate these effects. A third task is to help students seethat, as moral agents, they are responsible for helping to develop solutions to the ethicalproblems they encounter…”These directives on inclusion of ethics in engineering education have garnered a great deal ofinterest in formulating exactly what elements of ethics belong in the engineer’s ethics

The "peer-led"demonstration involved a student being asked to demonstrate on the computer projected to therest of the class, following step-by-step directions from the librarian.

(The peer-led method is applied because of studiesshowing students are more engaged if a peer leads the demonstration, even if he or she has neverdone the activity.18,19,20,21)Next, the class participated in an activity relevant to their particular class subject.

The impact of heat integration was analyzed from an energy savings viewpoint.Heat integrated distillation columns are generally more complicated from a control viewpointbecause of the greater degree of interaction among the columns. Thus, different controlstructures, ranging from feedback only to more sophisticated ones such as feed forward andcascade, and tuning methods are devised and compared from a performance viewpoint whenproduct composition setpoint changes or feed rate and feed composition disturbances areintroduced.Furthermore, extensive use of Aspen Engineering tools was made to facilitate project execution.AspenPlus was used for steady state simulation while Aspen Dynamics

goals of this project include: (1) elucidate how firstyear engineering students utilize problem solving strategies, and (2) evaluate successful andunsuccessful problem solving strategies, as well as errors and misconceptions, in terms ofcognitive and metacognitive processes. Data collected from 36 students in Spring 2011 has beenanalyzed using a validated coding structure. The analysis identifies relevant events within well-structured word problems which had multiple possible ways of solving the problem but only onecorrect answer. To assess mental workload students experience as they solve problems, a taskload index (NASA-TLX) was administered after students completed each problem.

general structure of graduate programs in Engineering Technology Many graduate programs in Engineering Technology (or discipline specific Engineering Technology) offer two year M.S. programs and each program requires a total of 30 -33 credits. Some programs have options to complete the Masters program by completing courses only or combining the course work with research credits. Research can be conducted using either a thesis option or paper (directed project) option. In the thesis option, the student undertakes a research problem that requires extensive research, often for a total of 6-8 credits. In the paper or directed project option, the student‟s research problem is of lesser magnitude, typically with a total of 3-5 credit hours. Students

To the faculty member, this is not a majorissue, however, to the departments, it is a major concern. At the start of the project, it wasdiscussed at a high level, and the governing board was told that it will be no problem. At thispoint in time, several courses have been offered using interdisciplinary faculty teams, typicallytwo-three faculty members. Again, at this point, the departments

development of an individual's own self-perception is the developmentof a vocabulary15 that allows them to tie their experienced self to the image of an effectiveleader. Students come to the course with a very limited vocabulary for describing themselves.They identify with a gender, race, religion, academic major, hometown, etc. These are theconcepts that they have available for describing themselves and for describing the similarity anddifferences between themselves and others. This leaves very little flexibility for meaningfuldifferentiation involving the responsibilities and coordinated efforts required in manyengineering projects.
