• Shake Table Testing3. Broad Implementation of EERI SESI CurriculumEERI is a membership organization that draws from its nearly 3,000 members to achieve itsmission of reducing earthquake risks. This SESI classroom outreach program provides a way formembers to share their expertise and enthusiasm with members of the public. It utilizes theexisting members of both EERI Student Chapters[17] and EERI Regional Chapters[18] to completelesson delivery in their region. As of January 2016 EERI has more than 60 student chapters atuniversities in the U.S. and around the world, and 13 regional chapters located in the U.S.Membership in EERI Student Chapters consists primarily of civil and geotechnical engineeringstudents obtaining undergraduate, masters and

, this vision resulted in the creation of the Bionic Wrench R . Launched at the National Hardware show in May 2005 from a newly founded entrepreneurial startup, LoggerHead Tools LLC, the patented Bionic Wrench has received over 10 international Design and Innovation Awards, while at the same time undertaking a very challenging path in today’s consumer market of manufacturing the Bionic Wrench in the USA. Today the Bionic Wrench is approaching 2 million units sold. As an advocate of leveraging design leadership to create and support sustainable markets, Dan has partic- ipated in numerous interviews, conferences and educational activities. One of Dan’s life goals has been to teach; he earned a Masters Degree in

Many women told us that their male peers gave their ideas lesscredit and failed to trust them with technical work on group projects, a finding consistent withMeadows and Sekaquaptewa (2013), Wolfe and Alexander (2005), Natishan, Schmidt and Mead(2000) and others. This lack of trust translated into a lack of learning opportunities and studentswho had been excluded from work on a project found their performance suffering when theyfailed to master the content a project was supposed to teach.

Critical voices to the CI process, Bessant, Caffyn, and Gallagher [3] note, it focusesheavily on tools implemented in the process, but lacks concentration on behavioral elements.They describe a correlation between organizations performance level of CI and theirdevelopment of routines for improving the process, stating strong organizational behavior inthe CI process is important to the successful achievement of the goals to be attained [4]. Bydeveloping a model for learning, practicing, and mastering the behaviors for CI, higher levelsof success can be achieved [4]. Often, CI

requires much more than math and science. Someof the more important skills they witnessed at work included communicating with people fromdifferent backgrounds, time management, acquiring information by oneself, and reaching out forhelp. In retrospect, they appreciated the written and oral communication training they receivedfrom HSA courses, the teamwork experience from group-based projects, and the learning skillsthey developed from solving open-ended design challenges. Some informants considered theirliberal education invaluable for assuming managerial positions.

What can be noted is the high overall performance on the project.Those who received an E for this team hands-on design project were inactive during the processof the project. Those who actively engaged in the project all mastered these course learningoutcomes successfully. The similarity of grade distributions for the online version and onsiteversion do suggest that the project achieved similar results for both onsite and online students,although future work needs to be done to better quantify this. One proposed way to do this isthrough a direct comparison and coding of individual assignments (since

Instructor guidance: • Be sure to emphasize that they follow along with you. Watch that they don’t take things apart that aren’t part of the discussion (e.g. the mower handle, the muffler cowling, etc.) • For each stage, determine which group is moving the fastest. When they’re complete with the previous task, show them the next one and have them explain it to the class. Once they are finished with this next task, have them go and help the other groups. This is especially useful when there is only one instructor. • Even though they’re
and a servo motor. Experimentswere aimed at understanding and mastering motor control. An important concept in motorcontrol, pulse width modulation (PWM), was introduced and the students experimentedwith a PWM based controller to control the angular rotation of the shaft for one motor.The students modified the VI and experimented to understand the importance of PWMparameters of frequency and amplitude as well as PID controller gains. The two degree-of-freedom (DOF)manipulator, shown in Fig. 3, wasconstructed using two servo motorsfound in the mechatronics kit. Twolinks were designed, one connectingthe two motors and one holding a pen-cil for end-effector. The connectinglink could be attached at various loca-tions, changing the distance
males used some form of SI, and from the fall 2013 semester, when 82% of females and 60%of males used some form of SI. [15] [16] Several studies indicate that females not only seem to havemore positive attitudes, but are also more intrinsically interested in learning. [17] In contrast, malefreshmen feel a greater threat to their self-confidence if they require additional help to succeedand master course material. Although there are gender differences in attitudes towards SI, it hasbeen reported that both male and female students benefit equally from SI. [18] To explore suchissues we previously have examined what “trigger points” led students to take advantage ofresources available for SI and how these trigger points correlated with grades. In

The available studies primarily fo-cused on how well the students have mastered certain content. Other expected benefits of theSAM approach, such as improved transfer of knowledge across domains and improved problem-solving skills, are more difficult to assess but should be part of any future, comprehensive study.
