Radiation Students are often confused about the effect of surface properties on the rate of radiative heat transfer.In the initial phase of this research project, a concept inventory was developed whichsought to measure conceptual understanding in each of these targeted areas.MethodologyPhase 1The concept inventory was composed of 28 multiple choice questions, several with open-ended segments which asked students to explain their thinking in more detail. Theseopen-ended questions were intended to provide both richer assessment of students’conceptual understanding and to provide possible distractors on multiple choice

The engineering teamreceived a comprehensive orientation to the campus-wide CxC program and explored how theirparticipation could lead to the integration of communication goals in the COE curriculum. Theyworked on their individual syllabi, as well as college-wide plans for a COE CommunicationStudio. They shared their ideas about an engineering graduate’s need for communication skillsand their newly-revised syllabi with faculty members representing all colleges, who provided aninterdisciplinary audience for their perspectives.

Currently, in many engineering curricula, the first three years consist ofmathematics and science courses. In the fourth year, a capstone design project is added toprovide a chance for students to deal with complex real-world problems. Determining howstudents use mathematical thinking in this capstone design project will potentially informengineering educators on integrating engineering science and practical design tasks.Theoretical frameworkIn order to investigate how engineering students learn and use

In the firstteam meeting, all members presented their application ideas and debated to choose theirprojects. They chose one of the presented ideas, developed a hybrid of some of the ideas, orpicked an entirely new idea.

Specifically, teams writeseveral memos, one conceptual design description, and one final design review. In addition, theyprepare and deliver two design presentations. The emphasis at this level is on description andinformation; that is, the communication learning objectives are for student teams to be able todescribe their design through informative writing and speaking. Students are also taught how towork in teams at a basic level with attention to team roles and norms and group cohesiveness
