Backcountry water purification methods use similar treatment principles asconventional drinking water where physical and chemical treatment techniques such as filtration,disinfection, and adsorption are commonly used. Additionally, the author’s previousobservations of students’ lack of understanding of appropriate technology in the developingworld led to some of the pre and post lab activities.

In both approaches, the main objective is to improvestudents’ visualization skills, and both courses are offered with the use of software packages.Traditional projection drafting material is referred to as 2D material, and solid modeling materialis referred to as 3D material. The reason for the study is that the trend in the past couple ofdecades, across engineering and engineering technology programs, has been to move from thetypical 2D (drafting) course content to a 3D (solid modeling) course content. Some institutionshave completely switched their approach, and some other institutions now have a hybrid offering(i.e., drafting and solid modeling in the same course). Results from this

This process of learning from teaching is also associated with Kolb’sexperiential learning cycle.1 Kolb’s methods of learning were implemented in a senior capstonedesign class where student learning is assessed. The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the design process that hasmilestones with deliverables

For many years, candleswere the preferred method for lighting. In the late 19th century, Thomas Edison is credited withinventing the first incandescent light bulb that dominated use for about 100 years. More recently,more energy efficient technologies, such as fluorescent light bulbs, have displaced the olderincandescent bulbs. Most recently, a Nobel prize was awarded for technologies related to LEDlight bulbs that are

experiences such as internships), discussing broader societal impacts can have a direct influence on their projects within the second semester of the program. For example, students often have a difficult time separating the needs of their client (or their sponsor) from the needs of the end users of their products. However, the success of a product is typically determined on whether the product is useful for the end user, and thus, as a software engineer, understanding the needs of users (and how they may differ to what is being asked by the client or sponsor) is paramount. Studying the impacts of technology on society can help students develop a clearer understanding of the importance of gaining insight into end user (as opposed to just business or

Alabama c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Student Portfolios for Assessment and Self-LearningIntroductionA well-conceived process for robust assessment has become an expected, if not required,component of academic programs in higher education. Most agree that a strong assessmentprogram must include an evaluation of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). Since the advent ofABET2000, assessment of SLOs has become a critical component of program assessment inengineering, technology, and computer science programs. Moreover, regional accreditationbodies, e.g., Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and Western Association ofSchools and College (WASC), have continued and broadened the
