She had used a flipped class technique at theUniversity of Virginia, Darden School of Business in a master level class in entrepreneurship.That class consisted of groups of students meeting with clients to help them to develop abusiness. There were interactions among her, the clients, and the students. These interactionsresulted in class participation to be heavily (20%) weighted in the final grade.Another engineering professor in the first author’s

During this time, she took advantage of heremployers’ tuition reimbursement programs and completed a masters and Ph.D. as a non-traditional graduate student. Ultimately she entered academia because of her love of teaching andworking with students. Fifteen years later, she was afforded an opportunity to become head of anengineering department. As she considered it, she wondered if she would be happy cutting backsignificantly on her teaching, research and mentoring of graduate students. She sought the adviceof her long-time mentor who asked her to consider what she would need in order to achieve

In particular, the level of abstraction will be significantly less than typically found in Calculus I.Thematically the revised Calculus I class is focused on three outcomes: - Develop geometric and physical intuition for derivatives and integrals. - Master the standard rules for symbolic computation of derivatives and some basic integrals. - Apply both intuitive understanding and rules mastery to solve problems.The course design has the following pedagogical features: - Many short homework assignments with immediate computer driven feedback/assessment, typically due on a two-day cycle. - Each assignment designed along learning cycle principles to target one or two specific learning goals
students master engineering skills, as well as enhance theirpractical ability. For example, the joint venture agreement between Southwest JiaotongUniversity and private companies suggests that enterprises should arrange for staff withextensive experience in engineering projects to be part-time teachers in universities.Every tutor from industry should co-supervise 1-2 students with faculty. What’s more,each major under PETOE in Dalian University of Technology has appointed about tenpart-time teachers and has presented their duties, including participation in trainingproject, the formulation and revision of curriculum system and training program, thedevelopment of relevant courses, and responsibility for internal and externalexperiments.Issues

. 3. Course design3.1 Course Overview. CNST 1120, Construction Communications, was designed to teachstudents how to use various construction communication tools. Students develop skills necessaryfor reading prints. A set of construction documents, which include the working drawings, are the primarytool used in construction for communicating the designer’s interpretation of the owner’s needs tocomplete a project. They become the contractors’ primary source for estimating, orderingmaterial for, and constructing the project. The most basic skill for anyone involved in theconstruction industry is the ability to read, interpret, and analyze these documents forconstructability. The outcome for the students taking CNST 1120 is to master those

For the design challenge teams of four to six persons were formed based on selfidentifying roles – project manager, graphic designer, master builder, communications director and art director and random joining of individuals in these roles into teams. The project began with an explanation of the engineering design process by the physics instructor and a related mini design challenge with limited materials.

only means for students to know if they are mastering thematerial. From a motivational perspective, the learning environment must have features that bothcapture and sustain student attention. To “re-energize” the students from time to time, it isnecessary to provide variation in the sequencing and types of activities and to include unexpectedfeatures, such as “pop-up” windows with interesting facts or anecdotes about the content. Therelevance and confidence dimensions are also critical because of the isolation of the students andthe students’ temptations to avoid the lesson in favor of other, more immediate demands of theirlives.
