-student interaction, and the post-test consisted of a shortinterview where revisions in the student’s understanding were probed.Two misconceptions were addressed in this class as well. The first involved the informationneeded and the nature of the questions that should be asked in order to select the proper drillingand sampling methods for subsurface drilling investigations. Over several years of teaching aclass in Site Investigation, the author has noticed that students are mystified as to whichcomponents of the project tend to drive the selection of drilling and sampling methods: Is it thesoil type? The purpose of the investigation? The level of detail required? As a consequence,many of them focus on the wrong parameters or improperly weight
textbook reading. The modulereplaces both the problem set and textbook reading with two interactive online exercises that introducecore content and provide real time formative assessment to students. The first exercise is assigned beforethe lecture and presents basic concepts including hydrostatic and oncotic pressure. Student performanceand feedback collected during this exercise allows the lecturer to tailor the lecture to the learners. Anovel Java simulation of glomerular filtration that permits manipulation of independent variables whiledisplaying the dependent variables is projected during the lecture.

Student assessment Page 23.134.2includes weekly problem sets and quizzes, a semester-long truss design project, two midtermexams, and a common final exam. Weekly tutoring assistance is provided by graduate teachingfellows (GTFs) across multiple sections.The vision for restructuring the course arose from several key deficiencies. As a service coursethat introduces all students in the College of Engineering to the basics of engineering analysis, itis vital that the material taught to the students be delivered in a coherent fashion and on auniform level.

Among variousactivities that the teachers took part in, such as demonstration of what different types ofengineers do, they were introduced to the engineering process model from the “Engineering isElementary” units developed by the Boston Museum of Science 9.

study were 73 first-year engineering students (65 male, 8 female)enrolled in a single section of a first-year engineering course at a large Midwestern university. Inthe course, taught during the spring 2011 semester, students were introduced to engineeringprofessions, engineering design, problem-solving, teamwork, and other engineeringfundamentals. The students were grouped into 19 teams of three or four, within which they hadworked on course projects and in-class activities for approximately three months. Thoughinnovation was only a secondary learning objective of the course, students were introduced toinnovative designs throughout the semester and presented with a definition of innovationcontaining elements of technical feasibility, economic
all require critical thinking skills. Critical thinking can be incorporatedinto engineering classes in a variety of ways including writing assignments, active learningstrategies, project-based design experiences, and course redesign. Clearly, accurately, andconsistently assessing critical thinking across engineering courses can be challenging.The J.B. Speed School of Engineering began revising core courses in the undergraduatecurriculum to align with goals and objectives of i2a and the ABET criteria. As a common coursefor all entering engineering students, Introduction to Engineering was the logical course tointroduce critical thinking to engineering students and to prepare them for the critical thinkingdemands they will experience in their

that may impact persisters and non-persisters in their career choices?MethodData CollectionThe data used in this study were collected as a component of the Persistence Research in Scienceand Engineering (PRiSE) project. The purpose of PRiSE was to survey college/universitystudents about their interests and prior experiences in STEM and to identify experiences thatpositively influence students in their choice to pursue STEM disciplines in college. Datacollection was achieved by implementing a survey to a nationally-representative sample ofstudents enrolled in freshman-level English classes in the fall semester of 2007. The samplingprocess involved drawing a stratified random sample (by size ranges and student populationwithin those size

On the other hand, this paradigm does not presuppose contradictions aboutontological or epistemological assumptions since it is more important to respond to the situationfrom an empirical perspective [12].The methodological design of any research proposal must be intimately related to the paradigmand approaches, perspectives or appropriate positions by the researcher.

It is expected thatthe comparison will help quantify the difference a KI-based learning model has on the student’sability to fit together knowledge from different courses to better understand how complexelectrical systems work. Moreover, the authors will continue to gather the same data for futureyears.
