Page 25.1096.3 Fig. 1: Initial Rating ScreenshotSingle Parameter Assessment with a Fixed Pie ApproachA key difference between the UCSD Peer Review tool and CATME tool is that the UCSD toolhas a single parameter that the each student applies to their teammate to indicate overall teamcontribution. Moreover, this single parameter is applied in a fixed-pie fashion, meaning that ifone teammate is rated above average then other teammates(s) must be rated below average.

pilot course complements the College’s first-year engineering projects course thatemphasizes a hands-on design-build-test cycle, so the students start with design requirements andend with a product. For the pilot course, students were required to scope an Engineering GrandChallenge(s), to reduce it to a manageable project, then to develop design requirements.Several of the module instructors created teams using the Comprehensive Assessment for Team-Member Effectiveness (CATME) TeamMaker tool.7 As stated, teams were guided in a four-week exercise to scope a project that applies the engineering discipline to a specific GrandChallenge, including some basic calculations for feasibility, cost estimates, and preliminarydesign requirements.

Students listen, take notes, and are allowed to ask questions at the end of the lecture orduring office hours. There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in theprocess by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of aconcern whether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. Theviews expressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one tobelieve that it is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would bedeployed any time soon, unless drastic measures are undertaken.

While all of the activities were underrepresented at Level 0,the underrepresentation of the Protocol, Design Challenge, Taxonomy and Modelingstructures were statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. Of those four,Protocol, Taxonomy and Modeling were all overrepresented at Level 1. The Design Page 25.359.201 The very small number of 3’s should not be seen negatively.

Page 25.472.6[5]. Running a CAD package on a provider’s server(s) through the cloud and paying a smallfraction of the original license fee on a pay-as-you-go usage basis is certainly appealing. Inaddition, time and cost intensive software updates and maintenance issues are out of the pictureas well. On the downside, it is obvious that an internal local area network connection allowssignificantly faster data transfer rates than an Internet connection. In addition, rendering CADdata can be very demanding in terms of computing power and over the Internet one mayexperience a slight lag in response time. Whether or not the lag is tolerable will depend on thevarious usage scenarios. While it may be perfectly acceptable in a CAD training environment

CEEC ’95’s call foraction resulted in the adoption in 1998 of the first version of ASCE Policy Statement 465, whichsupported the “concept of the Master’s Degree as the First Professional Degree for the practiceof civil engineering at the professional level.”5 After further committee work, in 2001 ASCErevised the preamble of the policy to say that ASCE “supports the concept of a master’s degreeor equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering at theprofessional level.”6 This statement equated “practice at the

Using these coded themes, the authors examinehow the student conversations and questions change over time from the beginning of setup to theend of the configuration period. These coded themes are them examined in the context ofBloom’s taxonomy to see if the students are moving through the cognitive learning process withthis program.Bloom proposed a taxonomy of educational learning objectives which was based on a set ofconferences in the early 1950’s.8 The taxonomy is composed of a classification of variousobjectives which can
: Equivalence (C.A. 1), Couples & Equilibrium (C.A. 21)1 Common Errors: 6, 7, 10, 1117. A 200 N-mm couple acting counter- clockwise keeps the member in equilibrium while it is subjected to other forces acting in the plane (shown schematically at the left). The four dots denote equally spaced points along the members. Assuming the other forces stay the same, what load(s) could replace the 200 N-mm couple and maintain equilibrium?Analysis of Student Responses: Two of the five students responded with the correct answer E.These two students were able to identify that both the force and moment of the selected responseare equivalent to the given situation.Student A: “...it’s a couple moment because it has equal forces in opposite

It has become popular with users needing more speedand memory than the HC11 provides. The 68HC11/12 has gained momentum because of itssimple architecture and instruction set. A large selection of books, sample projects and freesoftware is available for this target. There are readily available kits that bring out all theresources of the HC11/12 as well as support hardware and prototype area.What the authors consider the best CISC architecture as an educational platform for its time wasthe Motorola 68000 family.
