justified.Bigger Problems and a New Course to Train Engineers to Tackle Them Engineering problems have gotten bigger and more complex. Likewise, driven by thegrowth in scope of the problems, the technology to handle big problems has blossomed. Thecapacity of disk drives continues to expand as does the data density: the ability to store moredata in a smaller space. Search algorithms are increasing in speed and allow retrieval ofmore data in less time. Overall storage space and processing is readily available at low cost. Courses in structured engineering design teach students to analyze existing products anddesigns (literature search).3 Students taking more advanced training in Computer-aidedEngineering (CAE) learn to merge design and analysis in
left in the capable hands of educational researchers—the focus of this paper is onpedagogic applications of the ARS in engineering education. An emphasis is placed onleveraging the inherent advantages of the ARS to overcome obstacles faced in particular by newengineering educators. Four applications of the ARS are discussed. These applications are usingthe ARS to: survey students to determine their preferences on course administration; solicitingstudents for formative feedback on teaching; assessing students’ mastery of subject matter; andincreasing interaction in teaching new subject matter.This paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2 an overview of state-of-the-art ARS technology isprovided. In Section 3 through Section 6, four

. Design projects can be evenmore challenging since design is an inherently non-linear process and requirescoordinated effort distributed over time.To engage students in their engineering studies, educators have put forth many newapproaches: • Delivering the concepts of engineering via new technologies o Pod casts o YouTube movies of engineering concepts / lectures • Switching the format of teaching from “talk and chalk” to an active learning format6 • Increasing the opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in undergraduate researchEach of these approaches seeks to freshen the educational experience for engineeringstudents and pique their interest, and, in each case
of female faculty being hired, tenured, or promoted. Considering thatnearly 37% of the doctoral degrees in science and engineering are awarded to women, it shouldthen be alarming to discover that women make up only 9% of full professors in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields2. Of course, it is only in recent yearsthat this issue has drawn some attention. The NSF’s Advance Program was created out ofconcern for this same exact issue. Because of the Advance Program, large universities such asIowa State University6, Rice University, University of Washington, University of Michigan,University of Wisconsin, and Virginia Tech are developing or have already developed policiesand programs to support, recruit, and retain

. Here, student diversity is defined as differences in learning styles which may or maynot be addressed in a typical college classroom. At this Midwestern comprehensive universitywith both engineering and engineering technology programs, the student population appears tobe quite homogenous, primarily male, primarily white. In teaching the students, however, it isquite clear that the students are very diverse in their learning styles (as opposed to aptitudes andabilities which also vary). The investigator’s experience with teaching a single class to studentsin both engineering and engineering technology was the driving force for designing a study thatexamines learning styles in this context. When students learn differently than faculty teach, it
