skill.16Questioning students is critical for guiding their reasoning as well. Questions can be inserted atmultiple points in the learning process, such as during self-directed instruction with web-based,flipped-classroom materials; progress reviews; or team-based problem solving efforts in theclassroom.11 Prodding students to articulate answers drives them towards completion of a task.15Prompting them with questions that require explanation and justification of their solutions atdifferent phases of the project, as during frequent progress reviews, can assist them in planning,monitoring, and evaluating.19 Therefore, requiring students to develop coherent argumentsscaffolds them in solving ill-structured problems and also provides one of the best

completed at this point. Therefore, assessing the prototypes forcompleteness and extent of testing completed at this point has been found to be a good predictorof team effectiveness. The prototypes are assigned a score of 1-5 for completeness, where 5indicates a completed prototype and 1 indicates that no prototype is likely by the end of thecourse. Testing was also rated on a 1-5 scale, where 5 indicates that prototype verification testingis complete and 1 indicates that testing was not planned or discussed. This validated rubric ispresented in Table 2. In addition to scoring the executive summary, grades are determined basedon oral and written reports and whether the final projects met the specifications laid out by theteam and their advisor at

Students were either asked to bring in acontextual object (not one they had used previously) of moderate complexity or were providedeither a drawing of physical model of stylized component. These are shown in Figure 6. Studentswere given approximately one hour to model their component. Prior to the modeling exercisestudents were interviewed about the procedure they planned to use and how they would deal withany challenges that arose. During the exercise, the Camtasia screen capture software was used torecord participant screens. After the modeling exercise, students were interviewed again to

The questionnaires were then rearranged by lab partners.Commonalities and differences between partners were first identified. In particular, the degreesof active vs. reflective, sensing vs. intuitive, visual vs. verbal and sequential vs. global learninghad to be reviewed.

Typically, graduate students (even those with teaching assistantships) lack the experience of designing educational activities, as these are usually designed by senior instructors/faculty members, whereas teaching assistants are only responsible for the implementation. This training will provide graduate students the educational training that they will need as they progress in their careers, especially if they plan to secure an academic job.(iv) To develop a multi-platform nanotechnology educational app—i.e., an app that will be able to run on

In order to bridge the gapbetween the computer engineering design courses and practical industrial control system courseswe designed experiments, one example of which will be explained in details, to provide studentswith the ability to take what they have learned in digital design courses and apply it toward whathas been learned in a control system courses. This approach also provides us with a moreefficient use of our laboratory resources in terms of both space

Most options were not feasible solutions for a commercial enterprise. To compare tothe military training plan which required nearly a year of intense 8 hour per day classroom andlab training, a company would have to hire an employee and send them to school for a 2 yearAAS degree. This option was simply not affordable or practical. A second option was an onlineMetrology program. The often heard drawback to this program is the lack of a hands-oncomponent. A third option was to develop a full course to be given through the company. Onceagain this would be very expensive and the downtime of the

So in addition togiving students more hands-on experience of the physical activity/phenomenon called “torsion”or “torqueing,” the goals of this lab are (1) measure torsional material property (yield strength,ultimate strength) for regular grade steel bolts, (2) understand the use of torsion formula in dataanalysis and lab planning, (3) understand the use and limitations of material properties data fromengineering literature/handbooks, (4) understand that material property is a statisticalphenomenon, i.e., it has a spread, (5) develop a physical sense of

By providing an indication to the students as to which milestones are which,the students have more information with which to plan their work.For instance, a ±10% error margin may be acceptable in the project specification, but a ±1%is preferable. If the accuracy milestones are rated for difficulty, students who find themselveswithin the 10% margin can then decide whether they wish to invest the time and effort toachieve the smaller tolerance, and thus the additional mark, or whether to focus their energieselsewhere.Four difficulty categories were chosen for the milestones: Easy, Standard, Hard andChallenging.

A clear, statistically significant, benefit to the spreadsheet use could not be found,mainly due the strong influence of prior GPA and the relatively small samples sizes. Severalexam questions did show improved performance when using spreadsheets, but larger samplesizes are needed to be certain of the effects. We plan to add additional control data and continueusing the spreadsheets in other sections to obtain better statistics.
