-dimensional(3-D) structural members/systems. The issue with the former arises since students viewprescriptive, code-based design as an exercise of plugging values into equations disregarding thatthese analysis/design approaches are based on actual physical phenomena – flexure is foundedon strain compatibility and shear on the results of countless experimental tests. On the otherhand, visualizing structures is typically a problem for students who have not been exposed to thedesign and construction of reinforced concrete members via laboratory, work-site, or design-office experience. They have no 3-D reference to help them make sense of the many two-dimensional (2-D) figures shown in textbooks, course notes, and the concrete building code.The question

Writing Program Administration in STEM. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Extending WID to train mechanical engineering GTAs to evaluate student writingAbstractBeyond first-year composition, the undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum providesfew opportunities for students to develop technical writing skills. One underutilized path forstudents to strengthen those skills is the required sequence of laboratory courses, where studentswrite reports that are evaluated by graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), many of whom speakEnglish as a second language. Historically, engineering GTAs have not been trained informative assessment techniques to help

For example, this approach was taken in an undergraduatepower electronics course, and survey respondents noted that the on-line quizzes were beneficialto their understanding13. Remote laboratories sometimes comprise blended learningenvironments. In the area of control theory, a remote lab was used so that students couldremotely experiment and integrate the practical with the theoretical aspects of the course14. Asimilar goal was noted in another controls engineering course, in which a web-based simulatorwas used to complement the theoretical-based lectures15.

The results from the pre-survey illustrate the student’s interest in working in a clinical setting and on projects that aredirectly applicable to the biomedical field. Several of the students were also drawn to the projectsdue to direct application of their academic strengths and laboratory skills. The results from thepost-survey are harder to interpret due to the low response rate. Overall, senior design (bothindustry and clinical projects) is a well-received course where the students learn valuable skills.However, there are areas that BME students feel

Thisassignment continues on a path to introduce frequency domain behavior.The next part of the assignment asks the students to increase the frequency of the applied squarewave until the square wave period is approximately ten times the circuit time constant. This tasksets the square wave period to 10 ms, and they must determine the frequency to be 100 Hz. Thisexercise confirms that the exponential response of the circuit is independent of the

Instructors may modify the activitiesto adapt them to their context, but in that case, the effectiveness of the activities aseducational tools is unknown. Our goals in the current work are to first, to createversions (modes) of the activities that are easier for faculty to use, and second, assesstheir educational effectiveness. To what extent does delivery mode impact conceptuallearning? Our third goal is to share all modes of all activities, with sufficient informationthat faculty can make good choices about their adoption, and learn which factors are mostimportant
