Li earned her first Ph.D. in me- chanical engineering from National University of Singapore in 1997. She served as Assistant Professor and subsequently Associate Professor in mechatronics engineering at University of Adelaide, Australia, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, respectively. In 2006, she resigned from her faculty job and came to Connecticut for family reunion
the homework assignments, for each TGO, only the conceptnames are given and students are asked to elaborate them in their own words as part of thehomework. This would force them to learn the concepts and gain the ability to recite/paraphrasethem. We decided to omit the quotes and writing assignment about innovators. We do notperceive that they will enhance student learning. n Objective __: Understand how the time-to-live field in the IPv4 header is used n Important concepts/knowledge (please elaborate each) q Size of the TTL field (hence, max and min value of the TTL value) q How the TTL field is updated q What happens when TTL drops to 0 q Objective of

has shown that using a written feedback process instead of an oral question andanswer (Q&A) feedback process increases fluency and usefulness of comments in anintroduction to design course, E4, at Harvey Mudd College.1 This study further examines writtenfeedback in the same setting and quantifies the degree to which students of different gendersbenefit from providing and receiving written feedback compared to oral feedback. The peerfeedback process is examined for design review presentations during a preliminary conceptualdesign project for first and second year college students in a conceptual design course. Theauthors of this study are able to note the differences in these topics as a function of the gender ofthe commenter. The study
to verify calculator results. From simple diode designsand waveform presentations to MOSFET and BJT operating point calculations, the Matlabprogram can be very helpful to make sure that the data is correct and that the studentunderstands design procedures. Changes in Q point can be quickly obtained and can leadto optimum designs. Amplifier designs can also be obtained very easily and can bemodified at will.Keywords: MatLab, Diode Modeling, MOSFET Design, BJT Design1.

teachers may ask students when exploring the Report Card and relatedactivities are as follows: • Q: Which of these infrastructure types do you see and/or use in your daily activities? o Activities: A discussion with students could include the infographic “How Much Infrastructure Do You Use Before Noon?” Students choose one category of infrastructure to explore in more detail through creation of a short report, a photo collage of that infrastructure type (younger students), Teachers lead a field trip around their community and have students identify the different infrastructure components around them

Choosing the appropriate software for 3-D representation was Q c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 PAPER ID: 18690one of the key factors that aided in the development of the paper. Whereas most 3-D modellingsoftware programs have the capacity to represent the model, not all of them will represent thetrue characteristics of
performance in a subsequent course (e.g., intermediate thermodynamics or heat transfer).ConstraintsAs an important and fundamental restriction to this project, students are prohibited fromapproaching the problem by analyzing the refrigeration system, i.e., the refrigerant flow. Instead,students must explore the meaning of the quantities involved, particularly heat and work, byexamining the refrigerator compartments. In other words, instead of investigating where theenergy is going to, students should question where it is coming from.It should be noted that the actual COP may also be defined in terms of the rate of energy transfer: Q˙ c COP actual

have time to answer them all. I was wondering maybe we should have had a shorter presentation and longer Q & A section. I'm not sure if the students would have enjoyed and learned more with a longer Q & A section. I think if we were given some more time, we could have had the kids do an activity relating to engineering, which could be beneficial. (Note: this comment referred to the amount of time at the school) A similar activity, but with local high schoolers, would be a good opportunity to use more interesting/complex experiments.These and other comments show that the REU students not only enjoyed the experience, butwalked away from the outreach activity seeing benefits to both the K-5

very similar to thosegiven in the regular semesters. No particular trend for the summer semesters was noted for theA/B/C grade distributions. When looking at the overall numerical grades of the class (GPAs forthe course offering averaged for all students in the class), the summers again showed markedlyhigher average GPAs (Fig. 4). Finally, Table 2 shows the number of students that Q-droppedfrom the course as well as those who made a lower grade (Ds and Fs; both are actuallyconsidered failing grades within the department) – the data corresponds to the plot given in Fig.3 where summer offerings saw no q-drops or lower/failing grades.

”To achieve the second goal, we implemented a Q&A forum inside canvas and used Pizza featuresto manage it (Fig. 3). Students are encouraging to participate in the forum, but no grade is assignto this to avoid competitiveness. All participants can vote for the best answer and the highest-ranking answer will show always on top. We create a forum for each one of the mainlabs/assignments on the course, this way student can quickly find help on the project they areworking on.

For example, a group researching on polyethylene will give their presentation duringthe weeks when the lecture material is on polymers.This group project is a mandatory assignment that accounts for 20% of the overall grade for theclass. The project reports are graded by the instructors based on overall quality and completenessof each required sections, while the oral presentations are graded by both the instructors and thestudent audience based on presentation quality, education content, hands-on demonstrations, andgroup performance in the question and answer (Q&A) session.In one of the ChE classes, the group projects are managed slightly differently.
