The fill-in sheetswere very useful as templates for homework, tests etc. Informal discussions with faculty whoteach system dynamics and capstone design have indicated that over the past few years – studentperformances have improved in design and analysis. Students are drawing clearer free bodydiagrams, have shown improved problem solving skills and use more analysis than before in thecapstone design projects. Observers from the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence had thefollowing comment on the fill-in sheets and use of tablet-pc: “Students seemed to understandconcepts and fill-in sheets, and they had a sense of accomplishments.” Below are some of thecomments from students to the question “Pleasegive me your feedback on the use of the

greatresponse to this need including accreditation requirements requiring students to work in acollaborative, team-oriented, capstone design project. Another avenue to expose students to thistype of work is undergraduate research. But using an existing building as a laboratory lendsitself more to analysis than it does to research. In other words, the students will be seeking datato answer questions posed to them by their instructor. The students will be studying questionsthat, in many cases, already have answers. This might lead to the thought that it will be of lesservalue to the student. Some studies, however, indicate that when students are working on a large,complex, hands-on project, to them it is research and they derive many of the same benefits

Additionally, a course entitled Design and Innovation has been added in the third year to provide students with a significant long-term project experience prior to their first co-operative educational experience.  Perhaps the most significant impact of the semester conversion deals with student

Based on our current degree requirements, the course contentincludes topics on graphing and presenting data, data reduction, and basic topics from statistics.Our curriculum overhaul included removal of engineering-level calculus requirements. With thischange, some needed material was cut, and the new course covers this to some degree. Overall,the course serves in part as a capstone to our math requirements, with a focus on how to applythe math studied in applications.As envisioned, the course also includes a balance of
