class, it can be difficult to employ a writing-based approach. This difficulty arises in large part because these approaches are often seen astime-consuming when it comes to grading. And, these types of classes are already filled with agreat deal of homework assignments that primarily focus on problem solving. These homeworkassignments often serve as the primary mechanism outside of exams and quizzes to assessstudent learning. Many of these introductory courses also include a laboratory component. Theassessment of the laboratory component typically involves a written laboratory report. Becausethe introductory classes often have a reasonably large number of students in them, it may bechallenging to think about adding a writing component to these

Wilcox, Oak Ridge Historian, in which he discusses GeneralGroves who led the Manhattan Project in WWII. Students are shown original telegrams describingthe Hiroshima and Nagasaki missions in August 1945.In collaboration with the institutional library’s Unique Resources Staff, relevant archival recordsand manuscripts materials are displayed throughout the semester. Sections of these manuscriptsthat mention physics concepts and equations studied by previous students during the past twocenturies are highlighted for the current students to read.The course assesses student technical knowledge with two mid-term exams. There is onecomprehensive final exam. There is a 10-session laboratory program. Required problems are thesame for all students. Each

” by Young and Freedman[24]. Students of the course also attended weekly laboratory sessions where “Tutorials inIntroductory Physics” by McDermott and Schaffer [25] was used extensively. All courseactivities, including the tests, were conducted in Spanish.The E&M course uses active learning for instruction [26]. During the semester, besides the useof Tutorials, a very successful teaching strategy created by McDermott, et al. [25], the instructoruses Mazur´s Peer Instruction, a conceptual-based educational strategy [11]. He also employsproblem-solving activities using collaborative learning, conceptual building activities such asTasks Inspired by Physics Education Research (TIPER) [27] and educational technologies suchas Interactive

required to apply basic physics and engineeringprinciples to build a simple speaker. The only change made to this course this semester was theaddition of the project assignment. The course has a three credit hour “lecture” component and aone credit hour laboratory component. The project scores were incorporated as part of the lecturecomponent of the course. This paper briefly discusses our department’s assessment plan and adescription of the speaker project assignment, including how SLO (2) is assessed and samplestudent work.Physics and Engineering Physics assessment plan at Our UniversityThe assessment plans of most programs ATU rely on an "I, R, M” (introduce, reinforce, master)curriculum mapping. This type of curriculum matrix maps all of a

He was a research scientist at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, from 1998 to 1999 and then through 2007 a Fellow at the joint Japanese-American RIKEN-BNL Research Center (RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He joined the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois in 2002. At RBRC and Illinois Professor Grosse Perdekamp has studied the physics of the strong interaction and the spin-structure of its bound states through high energy scattering experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL on Long Island, NY

calibrated out usingdead weight loading.The engine mount features a rectangular vent which allows the ejection charge to escape. Thethrust measurement range is between 0 and 25 lbs. at a sampling rate of up to 1 kHz. Commonhobby-grade solid rocket motors (up to 24 mm in diameter) will fit in the cylindrical engine mountusing various adapter sleeves. The entire test assembly is suspended on a mobile cart allowing theunit to be moved between laboratory sites. The finished cart with a rocket engine at thrusting andejection stages are shown in Figures 6 and 7. The details of the test stand design can be found inZongolowicz [18]. Figure 5.

or science majors—registration of non-electrical engineers is unusual. Theclass is offered in the winter term and for the past three years, the period over which the QMCSinstrument was administered, the enrollment averaged 8 students per term; typically, one of thosestudents was female. The prerequisite for the course is successful completion of one year ofcalculus-based general physics with the associated laboratories. The typical student hascompleted a course in differential equations with linear algebra. Engineering students areintroduced to MATLAB [2] during their freshman year. We leverage this knowledge of theMATLAB environment along with their experience with linear algebra to manipulate vectors andmatrices—the original language of
