We assigned the homework to students through implementing failure theories in specific close-end problems. Students were required to extend these concepts in their open- ended design projects.The Part III: The design of mechanical elements included the following topics: Typical machine elements including: bolts, shaft and key systems, gearing theories, spur gear, and bearings. It was well known that the design of typical machine elements were not the simple application of the stress/ strain theory discussed in the mechanics of materials but rather the application of design procedures.

I had no experience on any of the topics we discussed about, except sexual harassment. Therefore, it was a very nice way to guide us briefly in so many areas in a such short amount of time  Learning how to put content onto BlackboardThe followings are the written comments by instructors on how could the workshop be improved?  Some hands-on exercise such as development of syllabus or assignment

This norm particularly involves a lecturer’sdiscretion on how a class is organized along with how the student interactions in a class takeplace. The interactions here are defined by a debate, student to student discussion, student tolecturer discussion and so forth 3. Such interactions play an important role in quantifying &analyzing if the goal of improving a student’s knowledge is achieved. Over the past few years,current trends are being observed in stimulating various interaction patterns among students andlecturers in an educational setting

These typically include the capstonedesign course(s) and some other upper division courses in the program. In large classes, studentsare either encouraged or required to complete projects in groups consisting of several teammembers.Formation of design teams and assigning grades to individual team member is a challenging taskfor the instructor.

: Knowledge,Comprehension, and Application (see Table 2). During the 1990's a new group of cognitivepsychologists, led by Lorin Anderson, updated the taxonomy and modified the form of thesethree categories to Remembering, Understanding, and Applying. Lower order cognition isadequate for memorization and for following simple procedures.Some types of learning and understanding require more than rote memorization of facts orsimply following directions. Cognitive activities such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation aremore complex, and open ended. There can be many “correct” solutions (as well as many wrongones). Whether or not a solution is “right” might depend on the specific context. Bloom referredto these functions as “higher order cognition.” In
