apair of dilemmas include Dilemma 2 does the pair have a highly significant relationship; anyother compared pairs were found to be not significant. This result shows that there weresignificantly more Can’t Decide responses to Dilemma 2 as opposed to Option A or B responseswhen compared to other dilemmas in the EPSRI. When seeking to explain why this takes place,we can look at a summary of Dilemma 2’s prompt for insight: The second dilemma in the EPSRI places the students into the position of a plant engineer at a chemical company in the suburbs of a major city. There’s a severe hurricane heading towards the plant, and if the plant floods, there is the possibility of extreme hazardous events such as an explosion. It is

, there may be a trend to more flexibility in first-yearrequirements with more elective or optional courses. A possible reason could be to betteraccommodate transfer students (author’s speculation, not something expressed in survey results).AcknowledgmentsWe wish to thank all of the faculty who took the time to complete our survey and the reviewersfor their suggestions.References[1] D.

students having a broader technical base onwhich to draw for problem solving. Some students’ reported that they engaged with studentsfrom a major other than their own in classes where the faculty member said all class enrollmentwas from a single major. We believe students’ broader interpretation of Table 1’s“interdisciplinarity” comes from their actions outside of class - for example, consulting withfriends in other majors about the project, or being assigned to “talk to X potential customers”.Faculty may therefore realize some of the benefits of an interdisciplinary course even when theircourse is restricted to a single major by encouraging or assigning students to interact morebroadly on an assignment.Class atmosphere and student learning both

In order to determine if the outcomes of this project are reproducible, a version of thisproject will be introduced into Northeastern ’s fluid mechanics course in an upcoming semester.In order to better analyze the student’s self-reported enjoyment and improvement, a 4-point Likertscale will be used on the end-of-semester surveys to more accurately assess and quantify studentresponses. An ANNOVA analysis will also be utilized for better comparison between semesters.References(1) Vreman-de Olde, G.C., de Jong, T., Gijlers, H.

elastic modulus. On a morefundamental level the elastic modulus is proportional to the change in free energy G ofdeformation. Hence, Young’s Modulus ~ (dG/dl) = (dH/dl) – T(dS/dl)where l denotes the length of the sample, T is the (absolute) temperature and H and S refer toenthalpy and entropy, respectively [5]. If Young’s modulus is determined by the cohesive energydensity of materials then the effect of entropic forces can be neglected and thus Young’s Modulus~ (dH/dl). Metals and ceramics are thus also called ‘enthalpy elastic’.Rubbers, defined as weakly crosslinked amorphous polymers above the glass transitiontemperature, defy this trend.

the students when they were presented again this senior designcourse. Utilizing such materials not only reinforces these principles and skills but also providesstudents with a bigger picture of their major & curriculum and connects their earlier courses withthis, one of their last required core courses.It has been suggested in the literature that providing the students with more control over theirproject (e.g., brainstorming the project topic(s) or defining their goals) is a best practice, both togenerate and encourage student motivation and enthusiasm about the project as well as toimprove student perceptions of the course as a whole [8], [9]. Nevertheless, for this single-semester course, it is essential to have clearly defined projects
