Based Learning (PBL) with thecaveat that individual students define their own problem and work toward their own goal(s) inthe studio.Studio learning outside of engineering (art/design, architecture, drama, etc.) is often focused onteaching procedural skills (e.g., specific techniques, approaches, tools, and media) usingconcepts and ideas to establish the conditions, examples, and inspirations that spark creativityand exploration. Applying this to engineering subject matter requires a different approach where,in studio learning, Dinham considers a distinction between the educator as “controller-of-information” versus as “orchestrator”[8]. Taking lead from Dinham’s general recommendations,the following guidelines listed by the Eberly Center were
instructor is incharge of presenting a clarification of the appeal during the next session.Multiple Application Activities: Besides tRAT, this part is considered the most important part ofthe session. Here, teams apply the gained knowledge to solve carefully designed applicationactivities. These activities are designed following the well-known 4-S Framework, i.e. SignificantProblem, Same Problem, Specific Choice and Simultaneous Report. Michaelsen [13] describesthe 4-S approach as follows: a. Address a significant problem that demonstrates a use of a particular concept. b. Make a specific choice among clear alternatives. c. Work on the same problem as other teams, so each team will care about the conclusions and rationales of the other

It is concluded thatimproving the simulation tutorials, changing the mode of tutorial sessions from face-to-face toonline sessions and changing the quizzes from voluntary to graded quizzes could help to furtherboost the learning outcomes and the direct assessment results.References:1. http://www.thesolarfoundation.org/national/2. http://fortune.com/2017/02/07/us-solar-jobs-2016/3.

strain.BackgroundThe ability for universities and other academic institutions to teach inter-disciplinary engineeringeffectively has increased over the past few decades. An example of this is shown in the progressmade in several studies by Marasco. In each of the studies it was found that when two or moredisciplines were implemented into the curriculum in order to teach the students a subject, thestudents actually learned the material better than if the subject was taught by itself [6]. In anotherthesis presented by Rigby, it was found that when students were presented with multiplerepresentations, or multiple sides of the same concept(s), that the students had a betterunderstanding of an ill-defined concept [8].

It was designed by and manufactured for a university with no intention ofspinning off a commercial enterprise, at least on its own. When other products became available,production ended and it was replaced in the classroom, mostly by Digilent’s Analog Discovery.Available for about the same amount of time as Mobile Studio are the CircuitGear devices fromSysComp.

Wilson (UK-Lex) in a Fall 2016 visit before initiating his Spring 2017 sabbatical and Prof. D. Englert (UK-Pad) during the sabbatical period. To begin, Prof. Van Wie set-up an LC-DLM with ancillary fluidreservoir, pump, tubing and connectors, while the new implementing professors set-up acompanion system. They then went through student team-based worksheets to practice datacollection and review the activity-guiding questions on the worksheet.

existingschema to better fit incoming stimuli. The accommodation process represents a change in aperson’s thinking. S/he adjusts to new experiences or objects by revising an earlier method ofinformation processing. In other words, when there is a discrepancy between what a person expectsand what happens (a discrepancy between expectations and experiences), there is a temporarydisequilibration, followed by the process of accommodation. Engineers as problem solvers mustexpect to be disrupted or disequilibrated on a regular basis. They must be able to continually absorbthe new stimuli posed by the problems to be solved by recreating and adjusting their existingschema. We believe that engineering education therefore must include training that

In PEPS, the research team constituted the initial coregroup [5]. However, we needed to quickly recruit members for a potential new coregroup. Who among our six partner institutions would be good candidates for the newcore? The research team needed to have individual conversations with each partner tolearn about their interests and to elicit suggestions for activities that would bring thegroup together in a meaningful way. The research team also needed to ascertain whichpartner(s) might have the time, interest, and background to be a
