Fall 2016, we have revised theactivity to more clearly emphasize the characteristics of a correct response, and have increasedthe scaffolding to guide students. Additionally, the revised activity is more focused than theoriginal, allowing students to spend more time on the reflection portion of the activity. Studentperformance is measured and compared in two courses at different institutions. Studentresponses on a concept inventory at the beginning and end of the term are also compared toinvestigate the development and persistence of their learning gains.1. IntroductionUnderstanding the three-dimensional relationships in crystal structures is an important skill formaterials science and engineering students. However, students struggle to

further demonstrated competency in two additional skills, determined as required forcontinued advanced study in dynamics. Students could demonstrate proficiency on additionalskills to earn higher grades. Each skill increased the final letter grade by 1/3 of a grade.Comparisons were made using the rate at which students demonstrated proficiency.Competency-based offerings of the course were compared to a similar group of students assessedwith a more traditional grading system (2014 offering). In the competency-based courses, >93%of the students demonstrated proficiency on the required skills, compared to 43% in thetraditional offerings (Chi-Squared p<0.01).Several aspects of course design can help foster the successful use of the competency

Education (ACE) is based in Washington, DC. A contractor for theDepartment of Defense, ACE oversees academic evaluation of military courses. ACE recruitsuniversity faculty members from across the country to evaluate military training and makeacademic credit recommendations. These evaluators are tasked with matching the content ofmilitary courses to the content of civilian university courses taught within their own disciplines.Military training needs and curricula have changed over the past three decades as a result ofshifting budgets, technological advancements, and evolving military priorities [1][2]. Highereducation has also changed in response to population trends, economic shifts, and increasedaccessibility [3][4][5]. Military students and

Approximately 1 out of every 5 class periods was devoted entirely to group active learning focused on reviewing, applying, or otherwise emphasizing important topics from the lectures. This approach required little modification of previously prepared lecture materials and minimized the in-class time

This commentary may be regarded as a continuation of thatdiscussion. Its specific purpose is to consider the need or otherwise of the general public foran understanding of technological and engineering literacy. It is assumed that publicdiscussion is better fostered if they are able to think critically about the important issues thatface the public which by default the public generally passes over. Our approach is to illustratethese tenets by means of a case study. We will not labour the advantages and disadvantagesof case studies which

The intent was to showhow computing and engineering professionals could make a positive difference in the lives ofothers, even if limited to working from behind a computer screen. However, the project waslargely self-directed by the students, as each team picked the subject for a provided grade leveland then wrote a software application for it. While the project allowed students to displaytechnical competency, it embraced a person-centric view towards learning as an internal process.In his seminal work, Kolb discusses the characteristics associated with the concept ofexperiential learning [1], where

. Background on VAWTsAccording to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, “wind is an increasingly significantsource of energy in Minnesota” [1]. The majority of growth in wind energy has beenaccomplished with horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), typically in large arrays or “windfarms” that produce utility scale amounts of power. However, small-scale systems have also seenlarge growth, 35% in 2012, with particular attractiveness for rural and agricultural areas [2]. TheNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests that greater use of small wind turbinesin the built environment can positively affect the public perception of wind energy [3].An alternative to the HAWT design is the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). A VAWT spinsaround a vertical

There is agrowing trend at universities to adopt lean practices to improve higher education processes.Reduced financial support and growing competition amongst universities and academicprograms motivate the implementation of lean practices both at university and departmentlevels.1 Colleges and universities that have adopted lean practices are driven by the need tostrategically leverage resources to meet stakeholder expectations, reduce waste or costs, andimprove satisfaction with under-performing processes.2 This paper presents an overview of

University Northwest competed in its first FormulaSAE competition in the past year [1]. The goal of the team has since been to make significantimprovements on its systems and designs. One such improvement has been the implementation ofa telemetry and data acquisition system. A telemetry and data acquisition system allows for thecollection and interpretation of data from sensors on the car, which enables the team to not onlydiagnose and solve issues with the other systems of the car, but to fine-tune and optimize thegeometry of the mechanical systems as well as making suggestions to the driver based on data.

Proximity of constructions and logical dependency inthe reasoning were used as evidence to argue for how the constructions of different stakeholdersare entangled. Interpretations in the analytical memos were iteratively revised several timesthrough group discussions (Engle, Conant, and Greeno, 2007). Roughly, in this process, we hadthe following orientations: (1) we assumed context-dependence, in that we expected thatconstructions of stakeholders could change swiftly, (2) we attended to how multiple
