On the other hand, the more innovative tend togenerate concepts with less focus on detail, challenge the assumptions, and take more daringrisks. Another difference is that more adaptive people feel less comfortable with ambiguity andprefer more structure, while the more innovative prefer less structure and are more comfortablewith ambiguity. Below, we describe the four participants’ concepts as generated in the session.Participant 1 (KAI score= 72). Participant 1 was the most adaptive student in this experimentalgroup. He generated five concepts (see Figure 4), which were similar to existing

The course learning objectives are common for all fourdisciplines. They have evolved since the course’s creation based on the instructors’experience with the course. However two primary objectives have remained: creation ofan interdisciplinary design and functioning effectively on interdisciplinary teams. Thecurrent and more detailed learning objectives are: 1. Create an integrated building design that includes a sound project approach (scope/budget/quality & constructability) including land-use, site development, architectural

Experience Survey explores graduate studentperceptions about faculty relationships, departmental climate and the relevance of work/lifeissues in decision-making. Responses totaled 574 graduate students from 18 science andengineering departments. The survey data was disaggregated by gender, science/engineeringdepartments, and program level (Masters vs. Ph.D.). Results suggest that there are significantdifferences between male and female graduate students, graduate students in science andengineering departments, as well as different gender issues in science departments than inengineering departments. Logistic regression was used to test the association of climate andintegration factors with graduate degree progress. Multinomial logit regression

reflection upon theassigned textbook reading.2. The Laboratory SessionAll of the work in the Laboratory Session is team based. In Laboratory, the teams areassigned a broad problem context and are then expected to work a number of smallerproblems that are consistent with the specified context. The general problem provides a seriesof opportunities for the teams to practice and master the specific concepts introduced in theConcepts Session. The Laboratory Session is somewhat less structured than the ConceptsSession. There are two general problems assigned; one that culminates in the development ofa process, and one that culminates in the development of an artifact. As in the ModelingSession, the actual final work product is not as important as the
”. The goalof this experience is to educate students on the current knowledge about creativity,learning and design through integrated art and engineering projects. Another experiencewill focus on “Leadership: Developing Personal Potential.” Leadership develops overtime and cannot be explicitly taught. That said, leadership can be enhanced through theconscious consideration of great leaders and the tools that enhance their effectiveness. Inpartnership with the Fuqua Business School and the Masters of Engineering Management(MEM) program in Pratt, we will create a Leadership Institute that all of our students willparticipate in.In the third experience, students will consider “Global Issues: Opportunities andChallenges”. Great issues face us today

Once all groups are done, the group with ties gives the neckties to a selected group, usually the women in the class, or the least experienced in tying a tie. Then volunteers are found to give verbal one-on-one instruction on tying a tie to this inexperienced group. The rest of the class observes as the group with ties tries to follow verbal instructions. Then another group tries to tie the ties by following the written instructions, of course, with mixed levels of success. The class discusses what is the easiest way to learn how to master a skill and realizes that this may be done best by modeling and verbal

We proposethat much of the foundation for creating this thread may already be in place for a number ofinstitutions. When that is the case, with small additional efforts, it may be possible to expand thesyllabi in the core courses to provide a strong education in Computer Security without incurringin the costs of creating a special track or degree program. There should be little or no need to putfaculty through specific training in security as long as they continue to be assigned courses withsubjects that they have mastered: the implementation of the thread would lead to small,incremental changes in syllabi of their courses

Students were expected to master foundation-level materials science processes and concepts, learn ancient and Revolutionary-era historicalcontext, and develop writing and presentation skills. Student work certainly exhibits animpressive command of these areas, and the instructors are extremely impressed with the studentachievements, considering them equal to

formal context. ‘Virtual Prototyping’does not merely refer to the use of computer models or software tools for engineeringapplications. A Virtual Prototyping tool has a major distinguishing characteristic: it usesVirtual Reality technology and allows ‘immersive’ or ‘semi immersive’ interaction.While there are numerous CAD/CAM software tools widely used in industry today formanufacturing process simulation, only a few of them can be described as belonging tothe category of ‘Virtual Reality based prototyping’ (or Virtual Prototyping). Forexample, tools such as Master CAM and CAM Works can allow users to ‘visualize’tool-cutting paths (in G-code and other formats). However, they do not allow an user towear Virtual Reality sensors, motion trackers
underlying these changes. How do you “build anexpert?” Is expertise a mode of reasoning that can be readily acquired or does it requiresubstantial amounts of domain knowledge and years of experience to master? Put anotherway, even if we know the “wisdom” of design, can we translate it into educationalexperiences that accelerate student development?Our current hypothesis is that the expert-novice gap is closed when students increasetheir domain knowledge and bring that knowledge to bear on an authentic medicalproblem in a realistic way (i.e., work in teams, consult with experts in multipledisciplines, think through the design process from ideation to implementation). Thus, weview students’ initial maps as their assumptions about the design process

In addition,an introductory lecture (with a complementary homework set) was prepared to reviewconcepts from previous courses that were of particular importance. Finally, a ConceptQuiz was given on the third week. The performance on this quiz was lower thanexpected. During the following year, additional review material and computerdemonstrations were included in a second lecture. When the Concept Quiz was given, theaverage increased dramatically, giving students confidence in their ability to master thematerial. As an added bonus, this story was recently told in

Once the students have mastered the first law, a second goal is addressed, namelythat they learn to deal with second law analysis (entropy change calculations) and applythe second law to find the limitations of processes and equipment used for convertingwork to heat and vice-versa. The practical systems the students are expected tounderstand are classical power and refrigeration cycles. Outcomes are that the studentshould be able to design a cycle to accomplish a thermodynamic goal, should be able tocompute local and global entropy changes for processes, should be
