in Table 1, itseems safe to say that using AutoCAD as a platform for introducing students to solid modelinghelps them to better master solid modeling skills.Since taking DRFT 134, some of the students have learnt to use Solid Edge and some arelearning NX this semester (Spring 2015). In a follow-up discussion in week 7 of this currentsemester, most of the students expressed the sentiment that learning AutoCAD solid modelinghas helped them to reduce the learning curve in Solid Edge and NX. Also, most of the studentswho took DRFT 134 earlier continue to make AutoCAD their preferred solid modeling software Page 26.1488.15in other 3D projects

The studentteachers in this project were introduced to dimensions of that debate.All of these activities required planning, implementation and two kinds of evaluation. The first, fromthe tests they had designed and evaluated. The second, from reflections on the exercise undertaken atvarious stages in the process. These are key skills required in industry.CommentTrevelyan proposed that engineering students should be required to teach their peers and that thiswould help them acquire some of the skills they are said to lack in the industrial situation.

Based on a summer 2014 senior design project, and using single-phase transformersthat were salvaged from the old lab, we are constructing new transformer banks on carts withwiring panels to support this experiment #7, and also to support research in the lab.

pedagogy is the concept of an inverted or “flipped”classroom. Students complete the lecture portion of the class on their own time by using videolessons prepared by the professor, and utilize the textbook and other materials as a study guide.Then, classroom time is dedicated to a more “hands-on” approach. Flipped classroom activitiesinclude guided, independent practice or lab work, and group-based interactive learning activitiesor inquiries. Is a flipped classroom a better instructional technique to enhance student learning?This research project will help solve this question by comparing two sections of a class in astatistically valid manner during the same semester.In the Fall of 2014, two sections of junior-level CVEN 3602 – Transportation
