of the students for thetrip (2, 5-8).A field trip to tour a construction site tour has an inherent link to civil engineering design classcurriculum. However, planning and integration of materials by the instructor can increase thisconnection and improve learning opportunities. In order to be most effective, construction sitetours need to have a clearly defined purpose, directly relate to the curriculum and communicateinformation effectively. These goals are difficult to accomplish if the faculty member is notdirectly involved in the planning and guidance of the tour. Too often faculty members feeluncertain about the site conditions or design experience, and therefore place the responsibility ona construction manager or alumni to develop the

A paired two tailed t-test comparing the results from Fall 2016 to Fall2018, again distinguishing between before the project to just before the lab courses changed,indicated statistical significance in the results (p = 0.012). Given that the exam questions changedevery semester, this continued improvement strongly suggests that the course project was helpingto improve students’ understanding of the concepts.Conclusion In response to students’ requests for more learning material in their courses, curriculum-producing projects were integrated into a heat and mass transfer course, with the

Therefore, thecourse includes themes centered on several design-and-build projects with the following programobjectives: 1. Provide students with the opportunity to experience engineering as an evolving, creative, and interdisciplinary career that impacts global society and daily life. 2. Provide students with the opportunity to develop process-driven problem-solving skills that recognize multiple alternatives and apply critical thinking to identify an effective solution. 3. Provide students with the opportunity to integrate math & science in an engineering context. 4

Sincethe research to date shows that the majority of the impact of the course is on students that are notcalculus ready, the course developed at GVSU focuses on those students. Consequently, thiscourse is optional and marketed toward students who are not in calculus, enrolled in either a pre-calculus math course or trigonometry.The course was first offered in Fall of 2016. Much of the course is based on the course materialsand text developed as part of the Wright State Model; however, due to constraints, the lab portionwas limited to in-class

Results from the Implementation of Wright State Model for Engineering Mathematics at University of Detroit MercyAbstractDifficulties with the Calculus sequence in the engineering curriculum leads to many studentsabandoning engineering programs. Many of these students are from underrepresented groups suchas women and students of color. This is a significant loss to the profession. The problem is notnew and engineering educators have worked on different strategies to alleviate this problem. Afairly well-known approach, first proposed by faculty from Wright State University, involvesteaching an Engineering Mathematics class to freshmen engineering students. Taught by engineers(and not mathematicians), this course typically covers

While chemical engineering students are therefore beingexposed to more and more biology, it is unknown whether they have positive or negativeemotions towards biology. Indeed, from the authors’ own anecdotal experiences, chemicalengineering students do not seem to be overly positive or excited about biology. The goal of thisstudy was therefore to test the hypothesis that chemical engineering students

-space to another can be accomplished in infinitely many ways. These features allow asystem to be controlled. If a system needs to track an input, its output is measured and used asfeedback to construct an error function. By the application of the controller, this error is reducedas close to zero as possible. The manner, in which the error is brought to near zero, dictates theresponse of the system. Some of the methods used in control system design aim at minimizingintegral square, L2 norm, H∞ norm, etc. of the error [1]. One of the most common types ofcontrollers is a Proportional-Derivative-Integral (PID) controller. This approach of controlsystem design can be applied to any dynamic system.The teaching-learning system that is composed of a

The derivative component helps in improving the transientresponse of the closed loop system, while the integral component helps in reducing the steady stateerror in the system response. With all three components (Proportional + Integral + Derivative)working concurrently, it is possible to improve both the transient as well as the steady stateresponse of an aircraft’s short period dynamics.
