During exams, which were given simultaneously to resident anddistance students, the instructor traveled to the distance location while an instructor fromThe University of Dayton monitored the exams at the resident classroom. The linkbetween the two classrooms was maintained in case either group had questions. Theinstructors also traveled to the distance site when oral presentations were being given bythe distance students. This was possible due to the relatively short distance. Future plansare in place to have a technician available at the distance location to proctor exams and tofacilitate laboratory exercises.Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition

Due to the short time frame and the pre-semester start, it is not possible toteach skills and then have the students practice them. Therefore, the design course hasbeen split across two semesters. The first semester is lecture and training, and the secondsemester is the design competition and is structured like a laboratory.

There are two challenges,with one week of classroom instruction allocated to each challenge (2 lecture periods plus timespent outside class); thus, the VBL module accounts for two weeks of the entire course syllabus.Challenge 1 is “How does the center of mass of your body move when you walk?”, whileChallenge 2 is “What pattern of force do you exert on the ground when you walk?”.

list.Although there is use of mathematics, computers, and a laboratory experience, the centralpedagogy of this course is reading, writing and discussion.Students are expected to write, edit and revise essays in response to their readings. The iterativecycle of writing is essential to improving one’s clear expression of ideas. The writing iscollected in a portfolio format so that students are able to have an appreciation of the breadth oftopics covered and their progress throughout the course. A visit to the writing tutor (“The WritePlace”) to enhance the editing and revision process will be required. Students also share theirwriting in class or in smaller groups.Students both singly and in teams make oral presentations during class. They also share

This required the students to have frequent interactionswith the industry partners to resolve technical issues, report status, and participate in peerreviews. For all practical purposes, the students worked as members of the project developmentteam, except that they worked in a laboratory at the university. However, we wanted thestudents to act like students, i.e., work part-time (they had other courses) and keep irregularhours (typically by starting in the afternoon and working late into the night and, of course, theweekends). Finally, we wanted to investigate the feasibility of conducting all collaborationactivities through the Internet. Accordingly, all interactions with the industrial partner weredone

something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.
