The practica provide motivationfor each student to know how to do each part of the lab activities. Students have been verysuccessful at demonstrating mastery of basic skills; in the next semester we will be addingquestions on the main physics concepts underlying the lab to the practica to see if students aremaking this connection.Student performance on the open lab activities has been mixed; only a few groups have been ableto complete these labs without substantial guidance from the instructors.

In the end, the course explicitly addressed ten of the ABEToutcomes, and implicitly addressed the remaining one on lifelong learning. In carrying out theirwork on the project the students had to be highly self-directed in identifying, acquiring andevaluating a wide range of information needed for their projects. All of these skills are critical toeffective lifelong learning.9 The relationship of the phases of the project and the EC2000outcomes are presented in Table 1.The class had 42 students, 39 of whom were mechanical engineering seniors.

Addressing the political, social, or other valuedimensions of a technological problem typically involves engaging groups who occupy politicalor social positions that differ from one’s own, whether based in engineering or in other fields.The integrated structure of training in engineering problem solving prepares students to master,and hence value, a perspective specific to one’s

Some ofthe literature indicates that the combination of multimedia and hands-on creates apositive effect on learning [Cooper, Regan, Behr, Sheppard]. Other studies indicate thatthe effectiveness of the hands-on material depends on the type of content the student isattempting to master. In cases where the material is abstract, the addition of hands-onexperience seems to provide an increase in learning potential. In the case of learning ofmore rudimentary material, such as the simple retention of facts, the supplementaryhands

that engineers need to develop verbal andwritten communication skills to share their ideas with others. Engaging engineering students inwriting activities is an effective mechanism to help them reflect and develop critical thinking skills.Scholars have argued that engineering students are reluctant and demotivated to engage in coursesfocused on academic or technical writing. Studies have confirmed that training engineeringstudents in writing will help them to share disciplinary knowledge with the community. Sincewriting is an essential communication skill that needs to be mastered early on in the program,therefore, engineering institutions need to create courses that focus on writing.
