When student verbalfeedback during a lesson is minimal, due to either lesson presentation method or student personalcommunication preference, the teacher must rely on nonverbal cues to determine the effect of Page 26.76.2their communication[1]. From Barry et al.[2], nonverbal communication generally falls within oneof ten categories:1. Chronemics – The timing of verbalizations and

Conversely, the ABET accreditation criteria (general plus program)define the minimum requirements for a program to receive accreditation. There will naturally bea gap between those two standards.For the cycle of change to be successful, the insights and lessons learned from the developmentof the CEPC should be communicated with the BOKTC and vice versa. This paper attempts todo that. The paper will define the gap between (1) the BOK2 and (2) EAC/ABET accreditationcriteria (General Criteria plus proposed CEPC as well as newly revised General Criteria plusproposed CEPC) and make recommendations for closing the

These criteria are influenced, but not defined, bythe BOK. Finally, in addition to earning an ABET-accredited engineering degree, the first steptowards professional licensure is to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam3, which isadministered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).The relationships between the BOK, ABET accreditation and the FE lead to several questions:(1) Does the BOK adequately emphasize the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for successful preparation for the FE exam?(2) Similarly

The University of Waterloo’s Centre forTeaching Excellence and the Engineering Ideas Clinic advocate the “intentional and reflectivelearning from experience” by students in lectures. This is commonly known as experientiallearning (2; 3; 4).This paper presents the findings of a pilot study into the use of bending beam models in a second-year engineering course. The activity was conceived with the intention of improving theunderstanding of the second-year engineering students in the area of beam bending. This includeddrawing connections between physical deflections and their corresponding internal bendingmoments and shear forces. The study used the models as a means to incorporate inductive

After over 100 years of debate and experimentation,however, we are faced with the paradox we confronted at the outset: broad agreement about theimportance of communication in engineering and a lack of consensus about how communicationcompetency should be developed in the curriculum.To be sure, technical writing instruction continues to be, as Robert J. Connors described it in his1982 landmark essay, “The Rise of Technical Writing Instruction in America,”1 “a center of vitalscholarly and pedagogic activity” (p. 173).

The handouts consolidate the technical material into a single unified and concise message. Multiple streams of information (lecture, supplementary handouts, slides, reading assignments) are avoided; the handouts are complementary with and integrated into the oral lecture. Discussion of the underlying concepts accompanies the detailed technical content. 2. The handouts are hand-written (on a tablet computer), highly graphic, colorful, and even “cartoonish” in

The premise ofthis paper is that, going forward, the CEBOK should include creativity/innovation Page 26.421.2knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs).The reasons for this premise are presented elsewhere2,3,4 and summarized here.

This paper takes this use of classroomtechnology even further by demonstrating how K’nex pieces can be used effectively in an upper-division, highly technical structural dynamics / seismic design course.K’nex pieces consist of various rods and connectors as shown in Figure 1. The rods areingeniously sized such that right triangles are naturally formed. While one size of rod forms thesides of a triangle, the next size up forms the hypotenuse. The pattern continues as the rodschange colors and triangles get progressively larger. The connectors allow rods to be joined at45 and 90 degree angles in various configurations. Some connectors
