This suggests that themost stable impact of the studio-based learning environment is the impact it has on students’views of Task Value. Unfortunately, the stable impact of the new instructional technique yieldeda decrease in students’ perceptions of the class’ Task Value. However, even Task Value scoreswere found to vary as a function of Major, Race, and Gender. This suggests that these TaskValue scores, as well as those from other scales, must be evaluated in light of the demographiccharacteristics of the students who provide those scores.Qualitative DataAs part of the overall research for this project, all participants were asked to complete a series of50 qualitative

Look at the time throughout your presentation tomake certain that you are on schedule. Never run over your time limit even if keeping on timerequires that you delete material from your presentation.5c. VocalizationIt is very important to speak loudly. This is easier for men with stronger voices than for women.For this reason women need to work on projecting their voice. Use a microphone if it isavailable. Avoid talking directly into and then away from the microphone; this can cause veryannoying variations in the loudness of your voice. Do not speak in a monotone voice; use voiceinflections occasionally

Additional types of attitudestowards biology will also be explored, including utility value (and the other values involved withexpectancy value theory) and self-efficacy towards biology. This will be an important area toexplore because even though emotions do not seem to be the reason while anecdotallyengineering students may not be enjoying biology, these other psychological aspects couldpotentially explain this observation.References[1] I.

In an effort toengage the students and “break the ice” a series of group activities were developed to introducethe students to chemical engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, and to their fellow teammates.For the first exercise, students were required to work in groups of two to fill out activity formsthat included questions about their teammates (e.g. “what does your teammate plan to learn fromparticipating in this?” Following this, students were given an introduction to the field ofchemical engineering. At the end of the lecture, the students were required to work in teams andfill out questions about chemical engineering (e.g

This spreadsheet, if correct, is then available for themto use when sizing columns for their semester design project. The necessary data (flowrates,surface tension, vapor and liquid density) required for the diameter calculation are obtained fromtheir generated column profiles.

The first time, 2-3 problems were assigned for each lecture. The secondtime, one of the Felder and Rousseau case studies was done in its entirety over the course of theterm. Mostly, this made the students exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed with work. Therewas some improvement in performance on the final exam, but that group of students also cameback years later with vivid memories – not of what they learned –but of how much they sufferedin the course.

It is hypothesized that Nephrotex may have influenced this change dueto its focus on multiple perspectives invested in the design of a hemodialysis device. Unlikesome engineering design projects, Nephrotex has students balancing the input of internalstakeholders who all have different priorities and requirements of the final design.
