program of research is: How can we effectively and ef- ficiently promote cyberlearning in complex knowledge domains such as STEM (science, technology, en- gineering and mathematics)? Towards this direction, she (1) investigates the development of higher-order thinking and complex problem-solving competencies following a comprehensive framework that includes cognition, metacognition, cognitive regulation, motivation, emotion, and epistemic beliefs; (2) develops innovative assessment methods that can benchmark progress of learning and the development of com- plex problem-solving competencies; (3) develops new and effective approaches to design state-of-the-art digital learning environments (such as intelligent tutoring

multiple course-level outcomes are assessed by a single gradebookentry. Thus, it still may not provide enough granularity in assessment.To validate our approach, the ACAT software has been updated to accept Moodle's course-leveloutcomes. Our school has run an experiment in which a sampling of courses were evaluatedusing both gradebook entries and independent assessment of course-level outcomes usingMoodle's outcomes. In this paper, we will report on these findings and the correlation betweenmeasuring a few course-level outcomes per gradebook item and the independent Moodle-basedassessment.Figure 1.

modeling b-rep data structures. However, automaticfeature recognition results in a sequence of features that seldom mimics the original featurescreated by the designer, except for the simplest of parts. A moderately complex model of a chair,Figure 1 (left), contains a variety of features including extrusions, fillets, draft, sweep and loft, aswell as a mirrored feature. The STEP file of this model, when imported using automatic featurerecognition, yields fewer fillets, two revolves, two draft features, and a large volume of materialthat could not be featurized, shown as “Imported3”, Figure 1 (right). No extrusions or patternfeatures were recognized. Only the geometry that is transformed into features can be edited in aconventional history-based

.  The participants for the study were sampled from a 100-level Construction Graphics course at auniversity. Before sampling the participants for this study, 191 students from the course wereadministered the 30-minute version of the PSVT, which contained all three sections. Based ontheir performance, the individuals who scored the maximum and minimum on the test wereselected for this study. Initially, the researchers had decided to select 10 high spatial abilityindividuals, and 5 low spatial ability individuals. However, due to unavailability of participants,7 high spatial ability individuals and 1 low spatial ability individual participated in the study.  The instrument used for testing was the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test.

In the same manner, the topic of assembly modelingoccurs when the radial engine’s components are ready to be assembled (Figure 1).The modified approach: the geometric design section While initial familiarization with the modeling environment and feature creationcontinues to be based on modeling exercises and tutorials, the geometric design modulesintroduce a step change in the software use. In contrast to the traditional modeling mode,where the students’ principal challenge is using the software to create the given model

Thestrategy chosen for this study is a comparison of students’ initial perception of their preparednessat the beginning of the semester with their confidence level based on accomplishments at the endof the semester. The outcome of this study hopes to illustrate that the chosen methods cansupport instructors of early engineering graphics courses in sustaining a quality educationaloutcome as well as offering tools and experiences to students to encourage them in takingownership of their education.

Seven students were interviewed. As shown in Table1, this group was composed of the following: 86% were freshmen from civil engineering,and 14% were seniors from bioenvironmental systems engineering; 57% were male and43% were female; 71% changed the ratings and 29% did not. Questions focused onchanges in students’ preferences and reflections on the learning environment, as well asany effective learning strategies they developed in response to this innovative environment.!!!!

Viewing courses in this manner provides opportunitiesto address the observations made above and to create better courses and outcomes for students.The focus will be on identifying wasted time and will explore some of the approaches integratedinto a Blended Learning environment for reducing non-value adding work.3.0 Lean ManufacturingThere are many permutations of lean manufacturing, so for clarity of discussion we haveoutlined some key concepts of the Toyota Production System (TPS) in Figure 1.

The searchterms flipped classroom, flipped instruction, inverted instruction, and inverted classroom wereused. The phenomenon appears to gain traction in 2010. Three scholarly research articles werepublished in 2010 and papers on the topic continue to be published every year with 137published articles in 2015 (Figure 1). However, with only 300 total articles, there is a notabledearth in the literature given the focus of the flipped classroom in traditional formal education.When the search is narrowed to engineering education, the number of articles is

The building has a raised floor platform; Fig. 2shows the construction sequence of the foundation and floor base. The top view of the finishedfloor base is shown in Fig. 3.

A discussion on theconcept of a polytechnic institution, its definition, and transformative nature is included to clarifythe reasons behind this radical and somewhat unsettling approach to education reformation.IntroductionAcademic institutions of higher learning are facing many difficult challenges, includingdeclining enrollment trends, complaints about costs vs. value, curricular stagnation, and inabilityto adapt quickly to changing environments facing graduating students. Many researchers andauthors claim that the traditional educational methods and structure espoused by universities isoutdated and potentially restrictive to learners. 1, 2 The College of Technology at PurdueUniversity is dealing with these challenges
