In this way, students are not actively engaged in thelearning process. To try and remedy these deficiencies, we plan to develop an interactive classthat will essentially transform the lecture-intensive course into an “Interactive DynamicsLearning Course” (IDLC) that willa. directly address the hands-on learning approach of ET students,b. enable students to clearly visualize particle and rigid body motion and forces, which theystruggle with in traditional classes,c. enhance their comprehension of key physical concepts, and therebyd. improve their problem-solving skills and grasp of the subject.To

Anecdotally, these trends are not surprising, but now we can clearly measure them. In our future work, we plan to automate many of the reasonable instructor responses to such data. We may, for example, offer an automated reminder to calibrate if they have not in previous attempts, or we may have the site advise students to do their homework earlier if they’re waiting until the night before it’s due. We are also adding capabilities to detect unit conversion errors, and to notify the instructor when a particular student is having an abnormal level of difficulty so that

An earlyinstance of such work7 compared successive program submissions in a batch-processingenvironment, finding that most changes affected only one or two lines of the source. A laterstudy9 observed and tracked high-level behaviors of high school students in a Pascalprogramming class, and noted that the students spent most of their time editing and running theirprogram rather than planning or reformulating code.Most recent work extracts detailed data directly

This initial work will build up into a bigger plan of constructing a full evaluation ofPhD’s programs in ENGE and to measure the impact that the field has had in the engineeringdiscipline. More specifically, in this paper we will answer the following research questions: 1. Do all the PhD programs in engineering education have the same purpose? 2. Are there similitudes between the programs learning outcomes? 3. Are there similitudes between the milestones required to promote the learning outcomes

A nationwide survey conducted in 2011 among57 members of the ASCE Department Heads Council demonstrates that when the participants wereasked, ―Where does your department include/plan to include management, business, public policy,and leadership into the curriculum?‖, 68% of respondents chose ―Capstone/senior design,‖ whichmeans that the majority of leadership skills are obtained through capstone courses and designproject activities.26 In order to develop nontechnical skills such as leadership, the objectives of acapstone course should encompass many items, including improvement of team formation, skillsfor
