Use of Fink's Taxonomy in Establishing Course Objectives for a Re-designed Materials Engineering Course

Conference Session: Innovations in Materials Education
Collection: 2011 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition
Authors: Patrick Ferro, Gonzaga University
Tagged Divisions: Materials

objectives for a Materials Engineering course were established using principles ofcourse design from Fink [1]. In Fink’s taxonomy, six different types of course objectives arepossible. The different types include that of Foundational Knowledge, Application, Integration,Human Dimensions, Caring and Learning How to Learn. According to Fink’s model for coursedesign, a course should also include a Rich Learning Experience [1], or project, which addressesmore than one course objective. The paper will discuss the changes that were made to the courseand the approach to course re-design to allow for new course objectives. Assessment data forseveral of the objectives from two sections of the course will be presented. The course includesan audio podcast

Engineering Education, 2011Information Literacy as part of the Materials Science CourseThe Materials Science course is taught at an introductory level to a vast majority ofengineering students at many institutions around the country. In one semester, it may benearly impossible to cover all the information, with significant breadth and depth. Toaddress this and give the students tools for lifelong learning, a project is assigned tostudents that include a paper and a poster. To give students research skills above andbeyond Google or Bing searches, an information literacy session is integrated into thecourse. The instructor and the librarian collaborate to develop an exercise that providesthe students with basic literature research skills, yet is

Through informal observations the authors realized students simplydid not have familiarity with the equipment at our facility (as opposed to their previousexperiences elsewhere). In this study, the authors target one simple skill relevant to resistancewelding that could be used as an introduction to metallurgy concepts (welding band saw blades).This student project was used not only to provide students with a practical skill for theirapplications toolbox but additionally as

(MSE) Outreach Efforts of Evolving Design Standards for Elementary EducationIntroductionThe recently awarded National Science Foundation project, Science Learning throughEngineering Design (SLED) is one of nineteen targeted Math and Science Partnerships (MSPs)focused on science education and one of four MSPs focused on elementary education1. Severalstates, including Massachusetts2-4, Indiana5 and Minnesota6, have established engineering design-based standards that have potential implications for effectively engaging elementary schoolteachers and students with content related to materials science and engineering. Thirty-ninestates, the District of Columbia and the U. S. Virgin Islands, have also adopted

as a leader of innovation7. Based on these reports and findings it became obvious that education institutionsare key stakeholders to solve these challenges facing the nation at this juncture. Forexample, one of fourteen Grand Challenges for Engineering proposed by the NAE isidentified as Advancement of Personalized Learning8. In essence, the proposed changesare all focused on implementing student-centered learning pedagogies such as, activelearning, inquiry-based and project-based learning strategies into the classroom. Thebenefits of these instructional techniques include: peer learning, interactions &communications with instructors and peers, student monitoring of their learning,application of their learning to real world

The course was team-taught by two of theauthors of this paper, and the third author was the formal project evaluator. This course wasagain offered during the Autumn 2010 semester, and it was this latter semester in which theconcept inventory exam was written and administered.The prerequisite course for Aerospace Engineering Failure is the first-semester junior levelAircraft Structures I. From this prerequisite course, students are expected to have a knowledgeof basic fatigue and fracture concepts, stress and strain failure criteria, and finite elementanalysis. It was
