As one of the students noted in thesurvey, we administered in 2020, “I think moral imagination is the unspoken ultimate objectiveof the class.”Reimagining

Student-led discussion,however, is more difficult, especially with mid-size classes of 20-30, too small to creatediscussion sections, but large enough that students aren’t readily comfortable with discussion.One strategy that may be effective is having a panel of student discussants for a reading. A teamof 4 students or so leads discussion, facilitated with questions from the instructor that theyanswer as authorities. (Questions can be posed in advance to make this exercise less intimidating,and to generate student preparation notes which can be handed in.) After some period ofdiscussion, the floor is

One ended upturning back in the middle of the voyage and another took almost 24 hours to get to the scene.There are many theories on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The two most prominent areissues related to the severity of the storm and issues surrounding the maintenance of the boat.8The way that the boat was found split in two, with the sections separated by more than 170 feet,suggests that the boat took on a lot of water quickly and unevenly.9 The Edmund Fitzgerald’sfreeboard had been decreased due to an authorized change to her Plimsoll mark, thus it would beeasier to take on water in high seas

The aim was to assess students’ engineering entrepreneurship perceptions within the context of a virtual information technology enterprise. In executing the project design in the virtual environment, students were exposed to many different fundamental engineering concepts from such disciplines as computer engineering, computer science, and systems. Evaluation and assessment were done by means of a pre/post-survey. Stony Brook University’s inter-university Sensor Consortium for Medical and Sensor Systems central purpose was to provide entrepreneurship education to engineering and other technical students through a senior design entrepreneurship course within the

All LAs assist in 14 separate sections of University of Maryland’sengineering design course for first-year undergraduate students. Our seminar integrates topicsfrom the discipline-general LA pedagogy seminar (cognitive science of learning, facilitation ofclassroom discourse, collaboration, metacognition) with topics especially relevant to engineeringdesign (design reviews, design thinking, expert-novice practices in engineering design,engineering

The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great.

Although there is some variation in published values, a reasonable valueof maximum muscle force per unit area is 30-40N/cm2. A cross-sectional picture of the armthrough the deltoid, something many of the students get to see in an imaging lab, can provide anestimate of the cross-sectional area of the deltoid, and consequently maximum deltoid force [15].The arm model demonstrates that based on the free-body diagram, the deltoid muscle force issignificantly greater than the load that can be lifted.
