Though the CATME adjustment factors are often used toadjust team grades upward or downward for individual assignments, in this class formulas areused to convert an "average" peer feedback score into a grade of 85% and a "best possible" peerfeedback score to a grade of 100%. This scaling is identified in the course syllabus, which helpsto calibrate student expectations. All scores are posted to an online grade book visible to thestudents, allowing them to make adjustments in how they interact with their team as the semesterprogresses.The CATME system also allows students to provide private comments to the instructor on howthe team and its individuals were working (or not

’ reflections, but due to the nature of course requirements,students were asked to read only a few of them. Further, feedback on reflection was a missingaspect. These studies used existing technology tools (which were not originally designed tocollect reflections) to capture student reflections. In a similar way, to promote teamwork and evaluate team members behaviors, varioustechnological tools were used, such as online or web-based tools [35]–[37], CAD-based systemsor digital media [38], [39], robotics [40], [41], simulations or virtual labs [42]–[45], and videogames [46]–[49]. These tools were reported to enhance students’ collaborations and decision-making processes. While prior teamwork studies have used various technology tools to

In theredesign effort for that course, I've added a number of demonstrations throughout the semester toclarify common misconceptions.[5] None of these demos have been hands-on because of thelarge numbers in my classes each year (around 500).As 3D printing has become available on my campus and available at prices that students canreasonably be expected to afford, I have begun looking at what can be done in basic mechanicscourses for students to have hands-on demonstrations.Current Project:My Statics syllabus includes area moments of inertia by both integration and by compositebodies (the additive/tabular method for composite

course. Tobegin the course redesign process, the Center for Innovation in Education developed an e-learning course to introduce department heads and professors to the PBL methodology. Thecourse contents centered on answering questions such as: What is project-based learning? Howcan I apply project-based learning in my class? How have other universities and faculty used thismethodology? Throughout the course, professors’ views on ideas that arose for their classes,constraints, and restrictions perceived to apply the methodology as well as perceived benefits ofthis methodology for their class were explored through forums.After the introductory online course, the physics course redesign process began with threeparticipating professors (two of them

The following paper describes the integration of a Formula SAE (FSAE) teamproject into a junior-level mechanical engineering experimentation course; it represents one ofnine projects in this course.The first half of the course is divided into modules that, for all students, progressively address: 1)the measurement chain and laboratory best practices using pre-existing experiments, 2) sensordesign, selection, and calibration, 3) statistical data analysis and uncertainty limits, and 4)technical communication skills. The second half tasks student teams to propose, design, build,and carry out an original experiment to an engineering problem they perceive can

To this end, we offer workshops on such topics as assessment and working withundergraduates, designing courses, teaching techniques, using new technology for teaching,conflict resolution, grading homework, authoring effective assignments and examinations, andstudent advising.This teaching activity covers two semesters (minimum): an observation semester and ateaching/co-teaching semester.

Students who were accepted, would be a part of a cohort of students who met witha lead instructor weekly, with the program being run as a 1-credit course. Additional instructorsfrom the student life side were also available to help facilitate activities, and connect students toco-curricular and extra-curricular aspects of college life.
