the overarching fieldof continuum mechanics.    The continuum approach permits students to synthesize and analyze knowledge, and our use ofcase studies integrates cultural, political, and ethical issues into a sociotechnical understanding ofengineering mechanics. We describe the development and implementation of this approach atone institution, and how we resolved the challenges involved in transferring the approach to asecond institution. We discuss several refinements to our methodology that resulted frombroadening our audience. Assessment results from over 10 years, at two institutions, areevaluated and interpreted.      IntroductionIn traditional engineering curricula, the subjects of solid and fluid mechanics are taughtseparately, in

Although there were connections established as seen in Figure 2, we could determinewhether there were accurate since the frequency of words doesn’t necessarily define theirassociations with other words. In addition, the concept map was missing some key elements in Page 24.1353.5the class (e.g., shear stress, ethics, and tension). However, it was apparent that the first level was 4accurate, as analysis, FBDs, equilibrium, and forces were the central concepts of a student’sapproach to the class

memorized). Therefore, the approach of maximizing partial credit based onmemorizing a few problems is counter to the goals of an engineering education. Furthermore, itcan be said that the current partial credit grading model rewards students for pretending that theyknow how to solve a problem, even when they don’t. This means our grading model ispromoting behavior that is explicitly unethical for professional engineers, according to theNational Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers [7] (paragraphsII.5.a and III.1.a).A second practice affecting learning is the copying of homework solutions from onlineresources. Collaboration on homework has occurred at some level since graded homework wasintroduced, but the practice

Such leadership must be prioritized at the institutional level. “…the importance of fundraising for today’s higher education administrators, we suspect that commitment to an ethical culture may take a back seat to other commitments and skills. That’s why it becomes so important to institutionalize integrity as much as possible into multiple cultural systems. Also, because most senior administrators are extraordinarily busy, we are convinced that development and/or maintenance of a culture of academic integrity must be a significant portion of some

This study indicated that there were mild correla-tions between performance and self-assessment (enough to warrant further study).The present study looks to see if comparing students’ self-assessments to performance acrossmultiple problems shows any more correlation than was found in the one question to oneproblem work of Sarin and Headley.1 The analysis is based upon data collected in the
