roadblock to increasing engineering and technologyenrollments. It is time to consider 1) New definitions and visual interpretations of concepts – function, inverse function, derivative 2) Emphasis on the techniques of computing properties of curves, rising, falling, turning up, turning down, areas, arc lengths volumes, etc. 3) Emphasis on forms and the strategies of changing forms 4) Limiting curves under studied to those that are well behaved – that is curves that are mostly continuous, mostly smooth and do not wiggle excessively 5) Delaying introduction of Bolzano’s analytic delta-epsilon methods of proof 6) Omitting mishmash of applicationsCalculus can do much more for our society than serve as a vehicle for conveying

arange of intensities. Much of the course was structured around the Arduinomicrocontroller board, sensors, LEDs, seven segment displays and dotmatrix displays. The course met twice a week in 1 hour 15 minute sessionsand was conducted in lab format such that students spent most of their timebuilding circuits from schematics, collecting data with meters and viacomputer communication and altering code. Students worked in pairs andevaluation was based on completion of weekly handouts, two lab practicums(done individually) and a lab project. The presentation will discuss thenature of the handouts, how material was introduced, how students reactedto it, problems that were encountered, and teacher’s and students’ perceptionof the course’s relative

An Applied Approach to Teaching Modern Power Electronics Dr. Raghav Khanna, University of ToledoUniversity level power electronics courses have been offered for a number of years, even prior tothe emergent demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles. However, these courses weretaught in the conventional “textbook” manner, with little to no emphasis on current industrystandards [1]. During the spring semester of 2015, the author taught a modern version of PowerElectronics at Bucknell University, with a particular emphasis on industry standards, and trend-setters in next generation power electronics. The course begins as conventional power electroniccourses do, with an introduction to low voltage

Developing Representations to Scaffold Capstone Design R. Alan Cheville, Michael S. Thompson Bucknell UniversityThis presentation discusses how representations—methods for how ideas are expressed—havebeen incorporated into a capstone design project in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Overthe past several years the authors have been developing methods that effectively represent thedesign process. This work discusses how four different representations were implemented in thefirst semester of a one year capstone design course to allow student teams to self-manage aproject in the second semester. The four representations are: 1) A functional abstraction that

area to actively participate in innovativehands-on energy challenges that focused on enabling teams of students to design and buildenergy technology prototypes. The curriculum exposed students to fundamental science andengineering concepts by synthesizing a curriculum around energy labs. Student-teams wereengaged in a 3-tiered energy challenge by designing and fabricating prototypes that demonstrate:(1) Energy generation and conversion, (2) Increased energy efficiency, and (3) Energy usemonitoring and control. These prototypes consisted of a fiberboard vehicle design, the wiring ofArduino circuits and the fabrication of a solar Lego vehicle.The design and physical modeling using energy technologies requires students to practice high-level

Implementing Mastery-Based Education Within an Adaptive Instructional Tool Richard C Simpson, PhD New York Institute of TechnologyMastery-based learning refers to a form of instruction in which a student's progression isdependent on demonstrating mastery of the material through successful completion of tasks orassessments [Arlin84]. While mastery-based learning has many potential benefits, actuallyimplementing a mastery-based approach within a course is challenging. In my courses, I use anadaptive instructional tool called Smart Sparrow 1 to both deliver instruction and performformative assessments that allow students to demonstrate mastery.One obvious challenge of mastery-based

, National Maker programs rarely target thisdemographic. The Minority Male Makers (MMM) Program, directed by Morgan StateUniversity, in Baltimore has established a Maker community in Northeast Baltimore City thatallows middle school students and their teachers to develop science, technology, engineering,and mathematics skills while expressing their creativity. The long-term goal of this project is forparticipants to 1) create products using 3-D modeling software and 3-D printers, 2) developsoftware and embedded applications, 3) enhance computational thinking skills, and 4) pursuerelated entrepreneurial ventures. This effort is a partnership between the School of Engineeringand School of Education. Middle school teacher and student participants were
