Such an approach can “replace andamplify real experiences” through proper guidance to “evoke or replicate substantial aspects ofthe real world” [4]. Simulated environments that can provide the high fidelity immersiveexperience, such as CAVE [5]–[7] or other forms of visualization representation can help thelearners create the necessary cognitive connection [3], [10] between the physical world and thecomputer-generated instance.

Because of the earth’s limited conductivity, it takes a relatively large amountof power to overcome ground losses (in addition to spherical dispersion losses) and these groundlosses increase as the frequency is increased. Hence, this is why practical ground wavecommunication is limited to the MF and below bands (i.e. below 3 MHz). Another means of radiopropagation is tropospheric bending where

To determine the efficacy of this approach, the following researchquestions were posed: 1) is it feasible to use individual whiteboards to teach freehand sketchingin a large undergraduate CAD course? 2) do students and instructors find this approachacceptable? 3) do students find that the use of whiteboards during class improves their ability tosketch? The acceptability and effectiveness of the approach was tested using pre- and post-student surveys. Additionally, performance on exam questions related to modeling strategies wasanalyzed across students over time to determine whether the whiteboarding

The students have to be exposed early onto exciting problems, challenging duties and responsibilities. Less available time for reflectingnewly acquired knowledge has to be compensated by interweaving the different fields ofknowledge. A particularly suitable way of doing so is the establishment of interdisciplinaryproject work already in early semesters, since there seems to be no better way of acquiringcomprehension than if it arises from personal experience [1].For this purpose, we have established a coherent procedure at Joanneum University ofApplied Sciences, Institute of Automotive Engineering, which familiarizes students in achallenging

Mindstorms shouldnot be surprising, given its popularity among engineering educators and teachers. As Eguchi [1]explains, the kit has been around in one iteration or another for two decades, allowing it time tobecome one of the most marketed and accessible tools for educational robotics. Despite itspopularity, there has been little empirical work on Mindstorms as a cultural artifact. Given itspopularity, what is the cultural significance of Mindstorms in education? And, how does thisshape its meanings and uses in the classroom?To give partial answers to these questions, this paper uses ethnographic data from three NewYork State public elementary schools to analyze the technocultural forms and uses ofMindstorms.

Tremendous growth in the energy industry was expected at that time since theaverage age of the nuclear power sector was 48 years of age which ranked among the oldest inany US industry 1. Many colleges and universities geared up new programs with help fromfederal agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department ofEnergy (DOE). Over 40 college programs across the country were developed to create a pipelineto help fill the shortage of workers 2.

Students at this stage need and expect to be motivatedby a more active and applied approach to EMAG than has been traditionally offered [2]-[4]. Atypical EMAG text emphasizes the mathematical theory of Maxwell’s equations for solvingproblems [5], [6]. While the mathematical approach excels in expressing relationships of EMAGconcisely, and lends tools for effective problem solving, treating the subject solely in this waycan leave the practical application context of problems unclear to students.

Knowledge is a result of a combination of graspingand transforming experience” [1]. Experience created by overcoming the challenge to perform anenergy conversion of a prime mover is regarded as a convergence approach.

Introduction: Why a new language?Industry coding languages like Python, Java, and C++ were designed mostly for professionals,not learners. Python is often considered the simplest to learn, but as one long-time instructor putit, “even Python has its ‘Gotchas'”, which is supported by some research where evidence wasfound that students struggle with Python as much as with C++ [1][2][3]. For example, somePython syntax is non-intuitive to learners, like reading integers. Another example is that the lackof static typing in Python can yield hard-to-debug type-related errors. We consideredsubsetting/redefining Python for learners, but knew the needed departures could

concept of buckling to civil engineering students.Introduction One of the most critical modes of failure in columns is buckling. When a long column issubjected to compressive force, the member might deflect perpendicular to the direction of theforce. Excessive deflection due to axial force might result to failure of the column. This mode offailure is known as buckling. When a member fails due to buckling, although the member isunder compressive force, but the failure is not due to lack of compressive strength of thematerial. Mainly, columns are designed for the buckling capacity. Figure 1 presents a concretecolumn experiencing buckling under compressive force.

Indeed, as their studies delve deeper into upper division courses, matters evolvefrom conceptually straightforward (i.e., statics) to more sophisticated (deformable) andpotentially abstract (thermodynamics). Challenges can arise correcting mistaken preconceptions,and linking perceptually-abstract mathematical formulas to real-world examples. Indeed, studies[1], [2] show that students value real life applications of the material covered, and that suchapplications contribute to a deep conceptual knowledge.Western Kentucky University offers programs in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering,presented with a focus on project-based learning.

However, while specific problemshave been difficult to identify, laboratory courses have for many years been a source ofdiscomfort and concern among engineering faculty. In 1983, Ernst outlined problems of focusand staffing that we still confront today [1]; Edward’s survey makes it clear that these concernshad not gone away by 2002 [2], as

At this time, the software is not able tooffer substantial and specific feedback to the students on how to improve, and it is recommendedto use the computational grading tools in conjunction with human graders. Using the software toprioritize which files need TA feedback, those with similarity scores below a threshold value,may lead to a more efficient and effective use of resources to provide a quality feedback loop.Introduction and MotivationAt Clemson University, the introductory engineering graphics course, ENGR 2080, usesSOLIDWORKS [1] to teach 3D modeling of parts and assemblies.
