design problems, particularly inthe student’s decision-making confidence [1].In aircraft design, the primary variable through the design process is the aircraft weight. In theaircraft design process, risk arises primarily through requirements creep or technologyavailability. Risk physically manifests itself as either increases in weight (performance-relatedmetrics) or technology requirements (new system development). Both can significantly increasethe cost of the system. Evaluating risk requires some type of intuition, coupled with somequalitative or quantitative methods, that aids the designer in making appropriate decisions andincreasing their confidence in the design.This paper focuses on the introduction of an interactive aircraft sizing

Conversely, the results shows that barriers for implementationinclude low awareness, lack of resources, isolation, lack of collaborators, and lack of incentives.Litzinger and Lattuca (2004) discuss strategies that can be used to increase the likelihood thatinstructors will adopt different instructional practices.

Laboratories also help students develop professional, socialand teamwork skills [4], improve practical/psychomotor skills [5], [6], and become familiar withscientific inquiry and safety procedures [4], [7]. Hands-on laboratories also provide anopportunity for students to analyse unexpected data, which could result frominstruments/apparatus malfunction, noise or other uncontrolled variables [6].

Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1].

Our university is exploring various options to help these students reach calculus Ias soon as possible. Pre-calculus summer boot camp is one of programs successfullyimplemented at our institution [1]. Other initiatives include: 1) developing sample placementtests for students to practice under the same environment as the original test, 2) making aplacement calculator for students to input the scores from the practice placement tests todetermine their likely mathematics placement, and 3) establishing a strong outreach to educatestudents about the impact of their mathematics placement

facilitate, throughmetadiscursive support, the socialization of international students in the University ofMississippi graduate engineering programs into written discursive practices of theircommunities.Theoretical BackgroundCentral to this discursive challenge that many international graduate students face upon entranceinto graduate programs is the notion that students must be socialized, or enculturated, into theoral and written discourse of their respective discourse community. This idea of discoursesocialization is cleverly viewed by Casanave [1] as a set of “writing games” for which studentsmust learn the rules—or learn how to adapt the rules—in order to participate in their discoursecommunities. Too often it is assumed and expected that

The rockets must be designed to not exceed the maximum-allowablealtitude for the launch site as specified by the FAA. Launches are done under the auspices of the NationalAssociation of Rocketry (NAR). For approximately the first 2/3 of the semester, physics of trajectory,stability analysis and construction methods are covered via lectures. In the second 1/3, shop time isscheduled for construction. Generally, launches are conducted the following semester when the field isavailable.Course DescriptionThe course meets once a week for 50 minutes

Social and environmental factors are often only considered afterthe design is finalized and changes become difficult to implement and expensive. The facultymembers wanted to create a more integrative approach to design that considers broadperspectives at the beginning and throughout the design process.Biomedical engineering students are particularly well-suited for the studio approach because ofthe integrative nature of biomedical engineering.

The vibrating horn pressed onto the surface of the workpiece(s) creates ultrasonic(10,000 to 30,000 Hz) waves that travel through the workpiece. The ultrasonic waves incombination with applied force, create a vibration-induced frictional heating at the matingsurfaces of the parts, leading to surface melting and subsequent fusion.Ultrasonic welding is a relatively fast (1 sec per weld), clean process that does not requireadhesives

The research consisted of an interview with the lead instructors of theclasses (n=1), observation of the class weekly progress, and design process data of fourstudent teams (n=12) gathered using a web-based tool, the Design Evaluation and FeedbackTool (DEFT).

Such a challenge for first semester thermodynamic students was tooptimize a refrigeration cycle by minimizing total life-cycle cost as contained in [1] and [2].Another effective way to improve student learning was to add an experiential element to theprocess. A vapor compression apparatus, see Figure 1, was used to provide this experientialelement for the class through a demonstration. Data from the apparatus were collected for two purposes. First, a heat balance betweenthe refrigerant and air sides of the heat exchangers was performed.

Inparticular, academic emotions have been a key focal point of discussion [1]. Academic emotionsoccur when students attend a class or participate in class-related tasks (e.g., exams) [2]. Theseemotions entail coordinated and multi-component processes that integrate emotive, cognitive,motivational, expressive, and peripheral physiological subsystems [2]-[5]. For example, a studentmay experience
