Matlab was still being used to calculate and visualize results, the new lab activities motivate students to practice a variety of valuable research and communication skills.  Regular homework and testing is also important to ensure that students retain theoretical material underlying the physical/virtual experiments. Lab activities are not meant to be a substitute for sample problems in lectures or homework, but rather a supplement. Students find that the analysis practice through calculations in assigned problems is critical to gaining a mastery of course concepts.  In implementing physical experiments in a structural dynamics course, time management during lab instruction is critical.

The objective of this research was to quantitatively assesshow professor grading biases influenced exam scores in the same upper level course offered atmultiple universities. The course selected for analysis was an introduction to the design of reinforced concretestructures, a common course in many civil engineering curricula.

In practice engineers are typically not privy to this phase of the design and as aresult are lacking a basic understanding of the design vision, which impacts their ability to con-tribute to the subsequent design phases.

As previously stated,success can be difficult to measure because of perceived reputation, asymmetricundergraduate/graduate programs, and other factors.

Through the experience students feel better about theiractions and understand the need and therefore the impact engineers have on a community. Thisencourages them to learn more about their chosen profession, and feel more confident about theirachievements. Also, students have a chance to practice and apply what they learn in class in areal project where they are exposed to the results of their design.

Upon comparison of the long-term results for each groupof participants, the delta between before and after for each category has been relativelyconsistent since the workshop started in 1999.The obvious result is that the exposure of ExCEEd participants to demonstrations ofexcellent teaching using physical models and practicing the use of physical models anddemonstrations by participants under the watchful gaze of a mentor is key.

For example, Alley et al.[2,3] studied how slide design impacts student performance.
