The class watched with interest, becausethey would be doing this very soon. On Assignment 5 they were asked to set up their owncalculations, and reproduce (or come close to) the results obtained by the instructor. This againwas only graded as “completed” because several students merely typed in many of the results asconstants into their spreadsheets, rather than calculate them using formulae. The use ofspreadsheets for engineering calculations is not expected to be mastered at

In the case of learning more rudimentary material, such as the simple retention offacts, the supplementary hands-on material does not appear to provide significant enhancement[Laurillard, Flori]. Also, the hands-on content appears to be received differently by studentswith different MBTI types [Jensen4]. As with the visualization content, there again appears to bea lack of statistically significant assessments in this area.In the particular area of solid mechanics, current hands-on content appears to be limited to somephotoelasticity-based experiments (which sometimes are really class

whether I belong in academia. One of multiple examples of thisis when I was working on a figure for a conference abstract. After receiving criticism, I decidedto remake one of my conference figures and then ask a more advanced graduate student to providefeedback. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to seek constructive feedback from a moreexperienced lab member who had mastered the art of figure-making. The student kindly reviewedmy revised figure, but while he was providing the feedback, a professor said to me “You need tolearn critical thinking. Another student should not be doing your work for you.” I was stunned thatthe assumption was that I did not know how to think and was planning to outsource my work toother students. Despite this, I

This is consistent with Hounsell et al. whosuggest that students’ anxiety is likely not inherent to the oral format itself, but may be a result ofthe novelty of this form of assessment [18]. Thus, student anxiety may be significantly mitigatedby interventions designed to familiarize them with the oral exam format, such as practiceopportunities or “dry-runs” [16]. Alternatively, Joughin suggests that some students may feelanxiety before an oral exam because they are aware that they have not deeply mastered thecourse material, and argues that in this case anxiety is productive in that it encourages students tomodify their learning strategies to achieve deeper

Having completed a Master of Science in Engineering degree in 2019, Michael is continuing in his pursuit of a Ph.D. in Engineering Education. His drive toward this field of study is to cultivate skills and knowledge that will better prepare him for a career focused on combating human-trafficking. Michael is seeking to find a way to integrate technical engineering principles, scientific research practices, and a broad network of motivated leaders to end human trafficking. Michael believes this integrated team, coupled with a holistic approach, will inhibit future trafficking crimes, while improving the well-being of current survivors. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024
