Although each of the TAs hadpreviously taken the course, some as recently as the previous semester, since they were selectedfrom three different engineering programs, not all of the individuals knew one another. On thefirst day, as shown in Figure 1, students introduced themselves, and played a few icebreakergames to get to know one another a bit better. From there, course logistics were presented by theinstructors; what the students as Mentor TAs would be expected to do, how much time theycould anticipate needing to do the job well and what the course schedule would be in regards totheir responsibilities. From there, students were introduced to the LMS from a teacher’sviewpoint; although they had

[1]A primary outcome of the 60x30TX initiative relevant to our discussion is the following: By 2030, all graduates from Texas public institutions of higher education will have completed programs with identified marketable skills: The marketable skills goal emphasizes the value of higher education in the workforce.

A link to the rubric and the full CEBOK2 was provided. The surveythen asked individuals to rate the importance of the outcome using a 5‐point Likert-type scale of:1 = not important; 2 = minor importance; 3 = neutral; 4 = moderately important; 5 = veryimportant. Then the survey asked individuals to rate the quality of the rubric and description ofthe outcome using a 5‐point scale of: 1 = poorly described; 2 = not well described; 3 = neutral; 4= well described; 5 = very well described.

Of 65 students respondingto the course survey, only one commented that this type of activity was not very useful.Conversely, there were eight comments that explicitly reflected positively on the use ofdemonstration and activities to learn concepts.Further, the value of class demonstrations is shown by comparing the most recent course (2018)with the previous course (2017). The 2017 offering of the course did not use classroomdemonstrations (to any significant extent). Comparing 2017 to 2018, there was a 93% increase inthe

computationalsimulations. This was a crucial component in the learning process as they learned the connectionwith and the need for experimental testing. This was reflected in one response, “We also knewthat the isolation would have an effect on the structure response however, we didn’t expect it tohave a huge impact. The results of our data was shocking to all of us.” Lastly, by using theisolators in the experimental test, the students had excellent insight into ways that these 3Ddevices can be improved for future applications as discussed in the next section. Overall, thestudy was effective in bringing a rather theoretical subject matter such as seismic isolation to lifeand increasing students’ ability to relate to the subject matter and begin to build upon

The other group seems to experience great difficulty with the open-ended learning and the independent problem solving that is needed for successful project completion. Sometimes they struggle greatly to carry their part of the work for the team to completion. This group does not necessarily correspond to the lower GPA students. The department hopes to explore further how to facilitate better open-ended problem solving earlier in the students’ careers. Perhaps this reflects the need for a combination of the triplet of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes necessary for successful civil engineering practice. • There continues to be some confusion with the multiple

Evaluation of Effectiveness. Engineering practitioners rate a sample of student papers using a simple 1 to 5 scale from “not effective” to “effective” - or, as translated by one practitioner, from “horrible” to “hire this person!” They are given basic information about the task and asked to evaluate based on what they know to be effective writing in workplace practice. Scores for pre- and post-intervention papers are compared statistically with Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon Matched Pairs tests. 4. Perceptions of Usefulness. Students are asked to complete a short survey about their perceptions of their learning and the materials’ usefulness, or – if instructors prefer – to write open-ended reflections on their learning.

Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin(HbR) absorb more light than other tissues in the brain and they have different absorptionspectra, therefore, the relative change of hemoglobin, or Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent(BOLD) response can be captured by the use of light attenuation at multiple wavelengths.As a non-invasive, safe and portable technique, fNIRS can be used

for the learningexperience. As is the case in the real world, project teams need to consider engineering and non-engineering issues within the scope of their work. As the project is developed from beginning toend, students should be exposed to many non engineering issues to reflect real life situations.These issues include: legal, financial, political, environmental, social, scheduling, constructionphasing, future expansion, and many others. The key point is this: real world projects are notjust about engineering design.Appropriate projects should present multiple design challenges for the team, especially related toinvestigating and presenting options or alternatives to the client. For example, the project designmay generate multiple layouts
