resist this standardization. ● Energy efficiency is not the be-all and end-all: Reflection questions that are built into class activities begin to reveal to students that energy efficiency is not always the answer. For example, while the U.S. has a fixation with maximizing the energy efficiency of appliances, much of Europe passively cools buildings by manipulating air flow during certain times of the day. Students learn to consider how heating and cooling are actualized based on culture, climate, and resources.In our poster, we will also report on how students respond to this approach (this data is currentlybeing collected.). In the final year of the project, we plan to offer the course a second time,improving our

However,making fair and accurate student assessment in this kind of learning environment can bechallenging, even for the best teachers. While past efforts to develop assessment methodologiesfor engineering capstone design have shed light on the subject [10, 11], it still remains unclearwhat truly makes one capstone team successful and others, perhaps less so. This very lack ofclarity is a call for additional investigation into the relevant

In addition, student comments and suggestions about their experiences in RAMP werereflected upon and program adjustments made on an ongoing basis. In this way, our use of focusgroups departed from the “group interview” approach used in many qualitative studies, andinstead aligned with typical PAR cycles of initial planning (designing the focus groups), action(facilitating and participating in the focus groups), observation (observing, coding, and analyzingthemes from the focus group activities and discussions), and reflection-informed planning(reflecting on student

Also, a survey will be conducted during the next offering of thecourse in order to rate the topics that are covered, perhaps replacing one of the topics with a topicsuggested by the students should the feedback indicate that. Many students have already expressedinterest in interview training.

They are asked a number of questions that requirethem to plan out their approach for solving the problem, and then reflect on their solution oncethey have reached it.
