accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away.

. Figure 2. Most common student prediction of deflected shape. (a) (b) Figure 3. Actual deflected shape once instructor applies load to the model in the classroom. (a) If students predict right end will go down, instructor creates this situation. (b) If students predict right end will go up, instructor creates this situation.The instructor then introduces the concept of metacognition. Since their prediction didnot work out well, they should reflect on why they thought it was a good prediction.There was something they assumed or had previously experienced that suggested theirprediction; what was it? Why was their assumption poor, or why did their previousexperience not serve well in this

process(EDP), visited research labs and interacted with science and engineering faculty and staff fromStevens Institute of Technology to bolster their science content knowledge in life andenvironmental sciences. The culmination of the summer institute was the creation of a STEMLearning Module (SLM) which teachers implemented in their classrooms during the 2007-08school year. Summer institute instructors guided teachers in development of the SLMs using the5E Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate)1. The SLMs reflect the sciencecontent, engineering skills and approaches, cyber infrastructure curricular tools, and pedagogicalstrategies that the participants learned during the summer institutes. All SLMs created byparticipants

meaningful. Rhode Island’s first fuel cell-powered vehicle, the Fuel Cell Quadracycle. Page 11.596.9 With the completion of the Fuel Cell Quadracycle, several performance upgrades wereconsidered. After reflection and discussion it was decided to begin a completely new vehicleproject - a full-size, street legal fuel cell vehicle capable of normal cruising speeds and range. Itwas actually a student who suggested the use of a “T–bucket” as the platform vehicle. The T-bucket is the original hot rod created from the Ford Model T, and being lightweight, relativelysimple to work

. Figure 1: Intersection Mumble JumbleIntersection Mumble Jumble—Curriculum DetailsLearning ObjectivesAfter this activity, students should be able to: • Demonstrate the chaos and confusion that stems from a lack of any form of intersection control. • Formulate a basic rule for “Level I” control which will be geared towards reflecting the official Level I control in traffic engineering • Understand the primary purposes and fundamental concepts of an intersection. • Comprehend the need to control traffic through an intersection. • Recall the various ways of controlling the flow of vehicle through an intersection. • Analyze traffic conditions at an intersection and select an appropriate method off controlling that

placement of formerly sophomore-level engineering courses within thefreshman year. The WSU model concludes with the development of a revised engineeringmathematics sequence, to be taught by the math department later in the curriculum. The resulthas shifted the traditional emphasis on math prerequisite requirements to an emphasis onengineering motivation for math, with a just-in-time placement of the new math sequence. Thecurrent paper summarizes the motivation, goals and development to date of the WSU model,which is currently in its first year of implementation. The paper reflects modifications since theapproach was first reported one year ago, and includes a preliminary assessment of studentperformance and perception during the first run of EGR
