experiences of graduate students in a blended interviewing experienceAbstractSocialization in graduate school is critical to personal and professional success, and encompassesboth the development as a researcher and as a member of the field. This paper discusses theexperiences of 28 graduate students through their participation in an engineering educationresearch project. The blended experience included online training workshops, qualitativeresearch tasks, and culminated in a final meeting at the 2014 ASEE annual conference inIndianapolis. The graduate student participants reflected on their participation in an onlinesurvey, which was coded for individual descriptions of their experiences.The results are presented as four

Hydro Kinetic Energy Devices would fit the call in the graduatedivision and it is consistent with the division objectives. Furthermore, the study is relevant to theASEE division’s mission and the scope is interdisciplinary including design, development andresearch. The research paper was a term project for a public works engineering and managementclass that is offered each fall semester. This makes it relevant to the theme of the ASEE GraduateStudies Division.How Tidal Energy Works Tidal Energy uses the earth’s gravitational interactions with the sun and moon to converthydraulic energy into usable electric power for various uses. The orbital and rotational effects ofthe sun and moon create tidal patterns which may be reasonably predicted

However, while experienced researchers may be able to identify asophisticated application of such skills in which they “know it when they see it,” a need existsfor a way to consistently and systematically represent students’ varying levels of researchprocess sophistication. This would allow programs to evaluate groups of students at varyinglevels in their degree process as well as single students over time to evaluate progress.The need for a classification system to characterize the sophistication of graduate research inengineering became evident to our team in a

The courses content, assessments, teachingmethodologies, and outcomes are discussed in this paper. Our 5 years of program evaluation aresummarized. We describe how our program has been extended to multiple departments in thefaculty of engineering and evolved from the model of individual to joint classes and team-teaching. Finally, we discuss effectiveness of those modes

An experiment was conducted with senior design students through an iterative design-fabrication-redesign-fabrication sequence to enable hands-on experience on desktop-levelmanufacturing equipment. His work strongly asserts the need to include practical training whileincluding design-intensive prototyping courses. During the initial phases, universities do not needto invest in commercial-level equipment, since desktop machines could provide students withuseful insights for basic understanding of processes.
