(if any) inspections is required.Part three was titled, “Defining Aspects of the Cost of Part Maintenance/Inspection/Regulation”.First, a classic Life Cycle Analysis is done on the part and material. Then all related‘stakeholders’ (e.g. owners, regulators) of this part/material are identified. Thirdly, students areasked to find out how the various stakeholders interact when a failure occurs (e.g. legal, fiscal).Finally, students are asked to discuss the real ‘costs’ related to the part/material/system failure.The last part concentrates on failure prevention and is titled, “Prevention of System andStructures Failures, and Related Costs”. Students are asked to create a sustainable maintenanceand inspection plan for their system or structure

An eight year period (2007 through 2014) is considered, where the lead authortaught CE 3313 seven times with a total enrollment of 439 (some applicable information is alsoprovided about 2015 planned panel activities). The course is taught once per year in the spring.It should be understood that the need to emphasize writing and presentation skills to engineeringstudents is not a new concept, though it is very important as expressed in the references thatfollow. It should also be noted that, as discussed in these references, providing exposure towriting and presenting without sacrificing technical content is challenging. The panels conceptspresented herein provide presentation skills without decreasing technical

learning objectives of the module are to i) explain the generalproperties of magnetic materials and magnetic nanoparticles, ii) describe the application ofinduction heating to hyperthermic cancer therapy, iii) describe the mechanisms of heating singleand multiple domain magnetic materials, iv) to quantify the effect of applied current, suspensionviscosity, and nanoparticle concentration on the SLP and explain the phenomenon within thecontext of induction heating of single-domain magnetic nanoparticles.4. EVALUATION PLAN Summative and formative project evaluation will be carried out according to therecommended practices of the National Science Foundation 36. The following instruments willbe used as a formative assessment of whether the project

of RBIS in engineering courses. The virtual aspect ofthe project aims to overcome the barriers of cost, scale and physical location that are inherentwith local (face-to-face) communities. A previous paper described the structure, goals, organization and technology of the VCP forChemical, Materials, and Biological Engineering12, but the previous paper did not include anydetailed information on the instructional innovations developed and implemented by individualmembers of the community. This paper specifically focuses on the experiences of eight partici-pants who transformed their courses through the implementation of a variety of RBIS. Facultyparticipants developed individual action plans to transform their course through RBIS using ap

corresponding allowable stresses.Separate lectures were presented on materials selection. The students were made aware of thefact that a designer had to choose the material best suited for the specific situation from a vastmenu of materials. The material selection decision could be effectively performed usingAshby’s book [3] and elements from the Cambridge Engineering Selector [4]. The software CESEduPack[4] was not used, but was planned to be used the next offering of the course. To establishthe rational way of material selection, the concept of the material indices as discussed in Ashby’s Page 26.265.4text [3] was briefly mentioned. These indices

perceived little value in exit tickets, which are generally designed to develop criticalmetacognitive skills and improved self-efficacy.These challenges are neither new nor unique to the current course. In fact, these are topics wellknown and widely discussed in the educational literature.13,15 It is the plan in future POGILimplementations to move the course towards a mastery driven rather than performance drivenassessment strategy. Specifically, the goal will be to reduce reliance on a few high stakes examby instead providing multiple paths, activities, and opportunities for students build self-efficacyand demonstrate mastery of the stated learning objectives. This approach is particularly attractivein a large format classroom, where managing make

inspiring introduction, andcan be a clear illustration of how materials play a role in the world around them. It makesengineering both approachable and relevant. The science classes that high school students,college freshman and sophomores take typically present collections of theories and laws usingtechniques that do not foster creativity, experimentation and curiosity. As a result, studentsincreasingly fail to pursue careers in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).For the past 10 years the number of high school seniors who plan on entering an engineeringcareer has dropped more than 35%.1 Additionally, attrition rates of engineering disciplines havebeen as high as 50%,2 and minority students have been shown to receive less than 8

A Pencast is a ‘smart pen’ that connects with a computer so that live explanations can be recorded as hand written and orally explained. These recordings can be used repeatedly for efficient use of explanation time, and can be converted to video format and posted on YouTube5 and Blackboard¹. The cost
