Iwould have the program up and running when the students came into class. After playing theinstrument and importing it into Audacity, students would take the cursor and highlight aselection from the song, and zoom in until they can see the wave form.

faculty members in front of students added to students’ sense that theenvironment was chaotic rather than well planned. The transition to student autonomy may haveoccurred too rapidly for these students.Most students seemed to better understand why the PI learning experience was designed as itwas by mid-semester, suggesting that some of the initial faculty concerns about studentconfusion may have been exaggerated. The time and pace required for this transition will be anobvious area of research moving forward.Nevertheless, it became clear that a full four year curriculum design was needed to help studentsconceptualize how they would move through the program and how their current work would tieto long-term academic and professional goals

We not only would like our own students to use thewebsite extensively, but also sincerely hope that other interested students from all over the worldwould do the same. To this end, invitation letters and emails will be sent to as many nuclearengineering programs as possible to introduce our website to a wider audience after thecompletion of the project. In addition, the letters would invite members of the American NuclearSociety (ANS) student chapter to participate in the website review and provide feedback aboutselected resources. This

. Page 26.1091.3The Role of Building RelationshipsIn order to undertake challenging design and build projects with industry sponsors, a substantiallevel of trust must be established between the university and the sponsors. Such projects requirean understanding of the capabilities of the student teams on the part of the corporate sponsors, aswell as an understanding of the culture and expectations of their corporate partners by thestudents and faculty. This level of trust requires long term planning, development, and nurturing.The engineering programs as Grand Valley State University were launched at the request of localindustry in the 1980’s. The programs were designed by a team of faculty in collaboration withpracticing engineers from industry

Theactivity provides an excellent opportunity for students to integrate their knowledge of automationbuilding blocks (such as sensor, actuator, relays, switches, push buttons, PLC and interfacing) inreal-life problem solving. The experience is challenging, but seems positive and has been well-received by students (some have even brought their parents to see their projects). Future plansinclude combining multiple models to form a large scale system, creating an on-linedocumentation system so that teams can blog about their learning experience throughout theproject development stage, and making the systems available to be controlled remotely via theweb. We also plan to conduct experiments using mobile devices for remote control of systems

The initial steps for validating the SCAEI presented here, steps which areoften overlooked or ignored by instrument developers [12], have provided valuable informationfor the development of the SCAEI.These results also indicated social and behavioral context that engineering instructors shouldconsider when planning classroom activities. Specifically, the engineering students perceived“arguing” or “defending” ideas as something that is disrespectful to the instructor. If

workThis paper demonstrates that it is possible for a public PUI to develop and deliver a successfulMOOC for relatively low cost using local resources. For this plan to be replicated at other publicPUIs, the instructor(s) must be willing to be only partially compensated for their time; theSummer 2012 workshop stipend and six units of release time received by the lead authorrepresents a fraction of the total time put into the creation of the hybrid course and MOOC. AMOOC developed using the model discussed in this paper would have to be a “labor of love.”While this may turn off many faculty members from creating their own MOOC, the lead authorexperienced a tremendous amount of personal satisfaction from helping hundreds of peoplearound the world

Even if individual team members have diverse technical backgrounds andexpertise, the effectiveness of their work together depends on more than engineering ‘chops’. Inorder to negotiate, plan, motivate, and integrate tasks at the team and even department level,engineers must practice and become skilled at interpersonal tasks like “communication,collaboration, networking, feedback provision and reception, teamwork, lifelong learning, andcultural understanding”1.
