Typically, the students blindly collect data with
teaching and learning experience. This paper provides guidelines for working withgraduate teaching assistants by applying the five principles of high-performance engineeringteams described by Jon R. Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith,1 and adapted by Karl Smith andothers for collaborative learning:2 face-to-face promotive interaction, positive interdependence,group and individual accountability, teamwork skills, and group processing. Perspectives areshared from engineering faculty who work with graduate teaching assistants in lecture,laboratory, and professional skills courses, and consideration is paid to small teams (1-3) andlarge teams (8+) of teaching assistants.

]. Simplylecturing about these steps is insufficient to give students the experience necessary to effectivelyiterate in teams. Failure is one of the main reasons for iteration, but is difficult to teach about.The ability to identify and assess failures or other reasons for iteration can only be properlylearned through hands-on experience. Previous studies have highlighted the ability to teach suchconcepts using hands-on activities such as model building and laboratory exercises. Lemons etal. showed that model building helped students generate ideas, make ties between concept andphysical object, and finally make the students more away of their process-based strategies [6].Mackenchnie and Buchanan have employed hands-on activities in a laboratory class using
survey characterized the current offerings of processcontrol as marked by transition. Both Laplace and time domain approaches are being utilized,computing tools and modern pedagogies are changing teaching approaches, and increasingenrollments are challenging the incorporation of physical laboratory exercises. Even with thecommonalities the course shares across implementations, like many chemical engineeringcourses there remains a wide range of approaches to teaching the course and a diverse selectionof topics taught.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank all of the instructors who completed this survey; the departmentchairs who forwarded the request; Frances Petrozelli who collected online information aboutcourse instructors of record
revised sections, and have onefaculty member teach the other sections. All the instructors used common exams and homeworkassignments. The course instructors had been using a pre-assessment at the start of the course fora few years, so we have several years’ worth of baseline data. The final exam used similar itemsto previous semesters for comparison on key ideas. Students were randomly assigned to sectionsto avoid bias in any of the groups. Students were required to also enroll in chemistry laboratoryclasses. The laboratory sections were not yet revised during this study period. Student scores arebeing examined in all sections and across the laboratory sections.The symbolic lens was a significant area of concern for the reform of this course
. Socialmanufacturing is an emerging form of making and marketing customized products by 3Dprinters and crowdsourcing in cyberspace. A CDIO-based Social Manufacturing Laboratory(CDIO-SML) that integrates 3D printing techniques for additive manufacturing ande-commerce for marketing has been developed and described in this paper. The lab consistsof five platforms for 1) teaching integration, 2) requirement acquisition, 3) interactive designand innovation, 4) manufacturing and production processes, 5) cyberspace-based marketingand operations. These five platforms facilitate product development from the requirement,design, manufacturing, marketing, to services. Each student participates in the whole processof the product life cycle and plays the roles of 1

Unfortunately, there was no formal datacollected for the previous teaching model so comparing the current hybrid/blended teachingmodel with the previous model is not available.Course DesignThe hybrid/blended instructional model uses several components including a weeklylecture/discussion session, a weekly laboratory session, online self-paced modules, videotutorials, and discipline-based engineering assignments. The purpose of this design is to enhancestudent learning and increase access and flexibility for students.Lecture/discussion: The lecture portion of the course gives student new information aboutengineering drafting theory and applications using the computer aided drafting environment.During the 75-minute period each week students receive new

manufacturing systems.Manufacturing engineers need to integrate other technologies with the objective of extractingfrom robots the flexibility they can offer. Vision systems have been introduced and implementedon industrial robots to improve productivity and flexibility of manufacturing systems. Sometypical applications with vision systems are work piece identification, work piece positioning,work piece dimension measurement, position compensation, surface painting, and visiontracking. Therefore, there is a need to introduce vision system technology to students in theManufacturing Engineering Technology program.There are three Robotics courses offered in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology programspanning from 200 level to 400 level to teach

, many other industries have been or are planning to introducerobots into their manufacturing processes.1 In the Pacific Northwest region several companies inaerospace, electronics, apparel, and commercial cookware have either introduced robots or ex-panded their use in recent years. As such, an introduction to robotics in the context of manufac-turing is becoming more important for students pursuing degrees in Manufacturing Engineering.There is, however, always a challenge when teaching robotics to find the correct balance betweenapplication and modeling. Many robotics courses taught in Electrical or Mechanical EngineeringDepartments have a tendency to emphasize modeling over application, but a well-prepared Man-ufacturing Engineer needs to

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to
be modified to address someof the topics that the students scored poorly on in the final exam. This study builds on the results of previous studies and provides additional evidence thatfavorable outcomes occur when implementing active learning concepts into a lecture-basedcircuits course. The lessons learned from this pilot study will be used to improve the hands-on segment of the ENGR 2431 course in future semesters. Due to the initial successes of thisstudy, we also plan to introduce parts of this project into a circuits course for ECE majors inthe near future. We trust our study could be beneficial to instructors who are teaching anelectrical circuits course and are interested in bringing the laboratory to a large classroom.IX
