Session 3266 Student Understanding of Program Outcomes through Formative and Summative Course-Level Assessment Raghu Echempati, Arnaldo Mazzei and Karim Nasr Mechanical Engineering Department Kettering University Flint, MI 48504AbstractIn this paper, an approach is suggested to begin a process in which each student, while solving ahomework problem, or a test or a project is asked to provide additional information concerningwhat concept(s) is (are) targeted in each homework problem and to what extent, if any

Any particular assessment tool,homework, group project, laboratory reports, quizzes, testing, or combination deemed necessaryby the instructor could be used. The assessment might be used to monitor (M) or summatively Page 7.238.2assess (S) the student achievement.

of graduation 75% of Co-ops accept full-time career-related jobs with Co-op employersCooperative Education was created at The University of Cincinnati in 1906 as a new teachingmethodology in its College of Engineering. Today, hundreds of thousands of students across thecountry, studying everything from accounting to zoology, continue this growing educationalexperiment, combining traditional classroom learning with paid, major-related professionalexperiences, just like those first University of Cincinnati co-ops. Despite this long history and thegreat benefits to students, little was known about the faculty‟s reaction to cooperative education.In 2005, Contomanolis4 surveyed engineering faculty at the six largest engineering
that, as in allother knowledge areas curriculum change is the result of a continuous flow of small changes [1].The process is very similar to that which (happens in the year to year changes made to aparticular automobile). Every now and again some innovation necessitates radical change and re-thinking of how thingsneed to be done in the future. In the writers lifetime the big change for him was the advent of thesemi-conductor especially the transistor in electronics. Thermionic vacuum tubes becameredundant overnight, and in the author‟s own field of study the problem of noise in amplifierswas radically changed for the better. Teachers had to re-learn quickly to adapt to the newtechniques. From the broader perspective it created a whole new
Session 1520 The Use of Animation for Visualization of Concepts In a Network Analysis Class Robert Bernick California State Polytechnic University, PomonaAbstractMany new and challenging concepts are introduced in the typical junior level network analysisclass including s-plane analysis, convolution, and Fourier transforms. This paper discusses a setof animated clips that has been developed using Mathcad PLUS to aid in the visualization ofthese concepts in a way not possible with conventional lectures and textbook presentations

Two-phase Annular Flow Frictional Pressure Gradient ProblemProblem Statement:Determine the frictional pressure gradient of a steam/water system at 130 C and 2.7011 barflowing through a 3-cm, vertical, well-insulated tube. The mass flow rate of water is 0.5 kg/s,while the mass flow rate of steam is 0.1 kg/s. For these conditions, assume that the flow isannular and that 40% of the water is entrained in the steam core.III. Two-phase Annular Flow Frictional Pressure Gradient SolutionTo solve the pressure gradient problem, the annular flow with

There are 16 possible combinations of switches, and therefore 16 possible equivalent resistances and corresponding current values. Can you list them? Page 2.65.3 Session 26592. Let us consider S1 , S 2 , S3 , S4 to be “1” when a switch is open and to be “0” when a switch is closed. For what combination of switch closures is the minimum value of Re (maximum current level) obtained? (When S1 , S 2 , S3 and S4 are closed (S1 = S2 = S3 = S4 = 0

If we let v s ( t ) = 2v s sin( ωt ) be the input voltage for a typicalcircuit (see figure 1) the input current can be obtained as: i s (t ) = i s1 ( t ) + ∑h≠1 i sh (t ) 11Where:i s1 (t ) is the fundamental component (at line frequency f1 ).i sh (t ) is the component at the “h” harmonic frequency (fh ).

A summary of such properties, their definition, and the courses thatthey are encountered in presented in Table 1. Before proceeding though, it is important toestablish the generalized accounting principle and define some nomenclature that will be usedthroughout the rest of this work.Table 1 Properties that can be accounted for, their definition, and course(s) in which they primar-ily appear — Ek , Ep , Usys , Eother are kinetic, potential, internal, and other sources of energy in thesystem; s is entropy per unit mass; T0 and P0 are the dead state (thermodynamic term) temperatureand pressure
, I think, because anybody can use the tool to give me a summary. I guess my view on that would be that maybe assessments can start looking at students' ability to critically analyze these summaries that GenAI tools provide, to reason about what is accurate, what is not accurate.’ (George)Our findings also aligned with Nikolic et al.'s (2023) suggestion for a shift in assessment fromonline to oral or in-person exams. A similar conclusion was reached by Qadir (2023), whobelieved a shift in assessment methods towards oral exams or individual projects could reducethe risks posed by GenAI, while the traditional way of assessment can be used as daily exercisewith less focus on the students’ final grades.Hillary proposed

I will give you 90% of the creditirregardless of if you get the right answer or not.” Additionally, ID1’s grading system wasflexible, allowing for student redemption. According to ID1, poor performance on an initial testcould be offset by improvement on subsequent assessments. This flexibility might encouragecontinuous learning, as students were not penalized heavily for early mistakes and instead aregiven the opportunity to demonstrate growth over the course of the semester: “I make the courseso that hey, you flunk the first

Summary and ConclusionsShort class interventions do not consume a lot of class time but their impact on student learningoutcome in the Materials and Manufacturing Selection in Design course were measured and showeda statistically significant improvement with more than 95% confidence. Students’ engagement with ahands-on experience helped students understand hard concepts of cold working, annealing,temperature, and time and their impact on the physical material behavior.

For the purpose ofthis paper, women in academia and in the industry will be the focus.I. IntroductionThe statistics of education show that women outnumber men in college enrollment. Womenrepresents sixty percent of the undergraduate population and in 2001-2002, women earned moredoctorates in the United States than men. However, women are underrepresented in science andengineering (S&E) fields. Science and engineering education in the United States has a genderedhistory. In a study for the National Science Foundation, Jon Miller1found that while 9 percent ofadult men are

Taken together, near-peer mentoring could be a great approach toenhancing the education of undergraduate students in engineering.Future WorkFuture work will involve continuing the current work of near-peer mentors. Additional data frommore near-peers mentors will be collected and analyzed to develop significant findings on thebenefits of near-peer mentoring.
