He also earned a Graduate Certificate in Interactive Media Design from RIT at about the same time he completed his doctoral dissertation on the topic of "Electronic Texts as Alternative to Traditional Textbooks." He finished his Doctorate in Education just when web browsers were becoming popular so he marshaled all these experiences and brought them with him to RIT’s Distance Learning program. He was instrumental in converting the RIT distance learning program to

At the beginning of each term, these instructional materialsare integrated into MyCourses, the online course management system developed by Desire 2Learn (www.desire2learn.com) for our institution. Thus, all lab instructors and students nowhave access to and use the same instructional materials.Assessment Rubrics and Design of Instructional MaterialsFor BSME curriculum to meet or exceed the accreditation criteria of the Accreditation Board ofEngineering and Technology (ABET), our department has developed a set of nine mechanicalengineering program outcomes

showingsomething unexpected the students realize a gap in their knowledge and have a newfoundfascination and personal motivation for solving the mystery. The preceding steps help to engagethe students on an emotional, behavioral, and cognitive level, and thus induce intrinsicmotivation. This paper will discuss the pedagogy of the“Room with A VUE” system and concludewith a case study of curriculum development aimed at creating hands-on exploration experimentsin materials engineering to apply the system. This paper is not meant to be a resource of visualdemonstrations – such a resource is forthcoming from the author. The system to be discussed is rooted in the psychological motifs of behavioral,emotional, and cognitive engagement. Motivation

contents of the hybrid curriculum was administered at the end of the semester. To facilitatethe hybrid approach, a process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) materials science text book wasused in this research. In addition, class instruction included active learning activities such as in-classdemonstrations, hands-on exercises and mini- presentations by students on various topics. The post- testresults of the MCI scores was 43% showing an average gain of 7% compared to the pre- test results.Student attitudes towards the hybrid curriculum were positive and very well received. Students found in-class demonstrations as a means of learning very helpful over POGIL, in-class discussions, homeworkassignments, and mini

Through the pedagogical integration of the course project withtheoretical concepts, the course learning objectives are attained. Following is a discussion usingan example of a case study project involving an automotive windshield wiper system. This topicis ideal because, consistent with the concept of Project-based Learning (PjBL) [2], it is a familiarmechanism for most students, although they may not have previously thought about it in depth.This provides a framework upon which new knowledge can be constructed. Because studentsmust work collaboratively in groups

Wilensky and Papert [7] termed this type of change in representational form a“restructuration” of knowledge and argued that computational, agent-based representations couldhave equally dramatic benefits for understanding complex phenomena, because they foregroundhow macro-level properties emerge from micro-level rules.Several groups have investigated the use of ABM to help students learn about emergentphenomena in materials science [8] and related subjects of chemistry [9], [10] and physics [11].This study investigates the use of ABM for learning about diffusion as the first step in a design-based research process [12] to create an effective diffusion curriculum for

The goal of these courses, premiering in Spring 2008, is to increase life scienceknowledge of mathematical, chemistry, physics and engineering undergraduate students and toincrease mathematical, chemical, physical and engineering knowledge of life sciencesundergraduate students. In short the courses as well as the laboratories are meant to betransdisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The feasibility of transitioning the developed laboratoryto an

Science is a required course for freshmen inMechanical Engineering and an elective for other engineering majors. The course is the firstengineering course for most engineering students in the college and therefore it is challenging toexplain some concepts and discuss the application of course materials in their future study andcareer. It is well known that project based learning activities motivates the students to learn newconcepts faster. To help students engage in the class, a comprehensive term-long project wasdeveloped, which combines material testing, simple design for engineering applications, materialselection for the design, and testing of the failure of the designed structure. In this project,students were required to select materials
