Many of the lessons learned by the students mentioned in this paper will occur with Page 11.1155.5or without this involvement, and the students may even have some success on their own. But thelikelihood of a successful competition goes up markedly if the students are guided and feel thattheir advisor(s) is genuinely interested in the project3,7.In recent years, our clubs have received increased attention from the faculty advisors

sections: presentation and competition. For presentation, allteam members had to participate in giving a 10-min. oral presentation to the class. Three facultymembers judged all the presentations in one day and gave their individual scores to each team.An average was then taken as for the presentation score.For competition, each team ran their vehicle twice in the main hallway of the engineeringbuilding. Scores were given to the vehicles for each run and later averaged using:SCORE=15L+10V-5D-10C+20Pwhere: L: distance, measured from the start point to the end point in one direction, inch (0.1” increments) V: velocity, measured distance over the recorded time in one direction, inch/s (1 sec increments) D: deviation, lateral distance

About two-thirds of the on-campus students had completed at least one semester ofundergraduate engineering thermodynamics. The remainder, including most of the onlinestudents, had studied thermodynamics in physics but not engineering. For many of the master ofengineering students, they had not studied thermodynamics for several years and several had notdone well in their undergraduate course(s).The make-up of the student body in the course created an opportunity for traditional graduatestudents who started their graduate level studies directly upon completion of their

Additionally, the professor(s) teaching the same class each term varied, allowingfor insight into how the professor may influence the structure and content of the tutoringsessions.During the first term, a single peer tutor was employed by the university’s SARC to providelearning assistance to engineering students taking MECH-320: Thermodynamics.

Although the theory and benefits of the flippedclassroom model are discussed, the primary focus of this paper is to present the approach and thepractical implementation of using this model. Advantages, such as student retention and reducedfaculty tutoring, are discussed, as well as disadvantages, such as the investment of time neededfor making the videos and the amount of time needed to learn the software. Lastly, best practicesand lessons from the experience are shared.Background and TheoryIn recent years the concept of the flipped classroom has gained popularity and has been

For complex geometry, ANSYS Mechanical APDLprograms were created by the instructor so that the requirements of student interaction with theprogram are minimal, and to keep their focus on deformation concepts. The mini-FEA allows theinstructor to provide a quick illustration of deformation concepts as well as the basic steps inimplementing FEM. The concepts of deformation mechanics are then demonstrated by graphicalillustrations from both FEM and the traditional photoelasticity method. The purpose of this paperis to study the effectiveness of integrating FEM and discover how

BackgroundStatics is considered by many to be a foundational class, full of threshold concepts that aredifficult for students to grasp (perhaps partly because students often have to unlearn their oldconcepts). It has been stated that “Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that masteryof this area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something”1. Some educators, such as Steif and Dollar, are concerned that evenamong those who successfully pass the class there are those with poor conceptualunderstanding2.

The green flags are good for indicating what maybe excessively high grades and their implications, but between a 2.0 and 2.75 EAMU Average computes to an averagegrade in the 80’s, and this is not considered excessively high, particularly since the institution is considered “highlyselective.” The flags being triggers for discussion ensures that ABET assessment is directly tied to curricularcontinuous improvement.
