Printing and Vacuum FormingAbstractWe demonstrate a new approach to fabricate inexpensive fluid and thermal experimentsthat engineering students can manipulate to master concepts in thermodynamics, fluidmechanics and heat transfer. The approach is based on design for manufacture thatleverages flexible manufacturing tools such as CAD, 3-D printers and vacuum formingmachines to produce an array of simple and easy to use experimental hardware. Severalsets of experimental hardware have been developed: Venturi Nozzle experimentsconceived to exercise students’ understanding of the Bernoulli equation and Pipe Flowexperiments designed to help students’ master principles of head loss.

This approach followed the Socratic Method and the students were not allowed tomove on until they mastered a sufficient level of mastery on the subject expertise. This approachfollowed a tutoring style where the student and instructor viewed a common piece of paper.There was a discussion forum where students could ask questions anytime. All of the labs werecompleted by experimenting with circuit design in a web-based schematic capture and simulationtool. In the online format, there was no way to evaluate the thought process since students couldonly enter answers to problems so partial credit was not assigned. To

control over achievement activities and outcomes and (b)the subjective values of these tasks, activities and outcomes. For example, in terms ofsubjective control, students who feel more in control of the class materials may experiencemore positive emotions in learning. Previous research has also shown that college students’beliefs about their inability to control learning or how well they do in class predicted shamereactions to test feedback. 22 In terms of subjective task value, students who place more valuein mastering a particular class may be more emotionally charged for the class activities andoutcomes. 16, 21 Future Time Perspective Theory (FTPT).

To facilitate the implementation of programming narratives we currently useAlice (www.alice.org), a programming environment that allows learners to create interactiveanimations while learning computer programming concepts. However, despite the benefit ofusing programming narratives to help students develop problem-solving skills, the transitionfrom pre-programming problem-solving courses to courses where students should master a full-fledge programming language remains a challenge 18, 22.3.

Leaves with Industry: Three ExperiencesIntroductionOne approach to developing and strengthening relationships between universities and industry isto have tenured faculty members engage in one-to-two semester sabbatical leaves at an industrysite. Personal relationships between the faculty member and managers/engineers at the host siteare developed; graduate students can become involved in a way that leads to a masters ordoctoral degree research topic; follow-on contracts and publishable results often benefit thefaculty visitor; new methods/technology introduced by the faculty visitor, and introductions toother faculty members with specific expertise, can benefit the industrial host.In contrast, most sabbatical leaves involve leaves of absence for

Faculty survey results also show thatsolution manuals can be helpful if they are used properly. This paper describes the results of thedata collection.IntroductionHomework is an essential part of learning in engineering education. Most engineering facultyand students believe that just attending the lectures is not enough for students to master thematerial, thus homework and projects are assigned to help student learning1. Walberg et al.reported that homework has substantial effects on students’ learning2. They stated that assigninghomework increases

At Purdue, for example, students’ extracurricularactivities and their particular roles in them, are captured to show the depth of their experiencesoutside the classroom while at the university.7 More generally, Havalais describesmicrocredentialing as providing a more granular credential than a degree, for example, andplacing it in a digital microformat makes it “potentially much more easily shared, compared,aggregated, and investigated”8 than traditional measures of achievement. Young states thatbadges provide a more individualized recognition of achievement, for example, instead of onegrade for a course, the microcredentials can identify which aspects were mastered and to whatlevel.9 Additionally

Faculty enroll in the program for the purposesof professional development. Within one semester, faculty participants engage in five workshopsthat last for eight hours each. The mission of this initiative is to focus on the improvement of upper-division undergraduate students' disciplinary writing by exploring the ways writing, as a process,should start with research and reflection about the given topic or problem. The main goal of thisworkshop is for faculty to master the skills related to good assignment design. The idea is to

In addition, the importance ofprogramming continues to grow; not only are CS and ECE students expected to master the art ofprogramming, but student mastery of domain-specific languages such as MATLAB, R, Maple, andMathematica are now required to perform analysis across a number of engineering disciplines.// 161: Assert CE. _LATB12=1; // 162: Send address of temperature LSB // (0x01): // // .. image:: max31722_registers.png ioMasterSPI1(0x01); // 163: Read data u8_lsb=ioMasterSPI1(0); u8_msb=ioMasterSPI1(0); // 164: Deassert CE. _LATB12=0; // // I2C // === // Available I2C functions: void startI2C1(void); void rstartI2C1(void); void stopI2C1(void

You guys wanted to get a PhD but still take time to help other people, you guys are a great motivation for me.” “I really need a mentor, somebody to guide me through.

If somebody is always on your back telling you to do the right thing, you will become stronger. I need somebody that will always talk to me because at times the challenges are there.
