The authenticinvolvement activities expose the student to real situations with totally open-endedprojects, although the faculty may influence the selection of the situations and setperformance criteria to assure that positive learning objectives are met. Authenticinvolvements use outside clients while simulations use experimental laboratories,guided design, or case studies. In an article in 2006, Davis et al.

In real-world scenarios, such as engineering design, much of the work isperformed by groups of individuals interacting with each other, mediated by tools and artifacts;thus, an adequate account of the moral judgments in engineering requires that we examine thegroup as the appropriate unit of analysis, not individuals considering hypothetical or historicalcases by themselves in the classroom or laboratory. Furthermore, we move from analyzing theindividual, where we can really only see the input and output of the cognitive process and haveto infer the structure of

They then had to put this knowledge together to build a robot that could navigate a linedcircular path while determining how far it had traveled along that line, avoid running into otherrobots on the line, and determine what the depth was of some artificial terrain designed tosimulate the ocean floor.

We show how our curriculum is in agreementwith a mixed-mode approach that combines projects with traditional techniques.

students in allsections of the course. As the instructors at UM note, not all faculty have access to an on-campuseducational theater group. Even so, we were inspired enough to make our own presentation. Ourintroduction to engineering course is divided into a portion that is team-based, a weekly lecture,and a portion that is conducted in a more traditional laboratory-and-recitation format. Thecourse’s instructional team itself is team-based, which means we value the power of teams at thesame time that we incorporate ideas from a wide range of sources. It seemed to us that even aneffort that was not supported by an educational theater group would be beneficial to initiating aconversation about teamwork.A. Literature ReviewAlthough much of the

The interactive tutorial could incorporate simulated or“virtual” laboratory experiments, where students could gain “hands-on” experience related to theideas we are presenting. This tutorial will be incorporated into our existing Circuit Tutorsoftware package,13-15 which we plan to distribute through a textbook publisher at some point toensure its sustainability.6.
