Session 2745 ExCEEd Impact on a New Professor David P. Devine Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present quantitative information and qualitative remarks regarding the impact of the ExCEEd Teaching Workshop (ETW) on an assistant professor of civil engineering technology at a regional campus of a large state university system in the Midwest. The participant attended the ETW during the summer between the first and second years of a tenure eligible appointment. Features of the ETW were adapted to the participant ’s teaching immediately

over the past 7years that are not adequately captured in the various formal surveys that have been distributed.These impressions are based on informal discussions with current students, former students,mentors, and other faculty. I have included these ideas where relevant in the results section.Results: Mentor Motivation and SatisfactionThere were notable differences in the motivation of the mentors. Because the surveys werereturned by the key person(s) sponsoring and serving as a client for each project, thesedifferences are important. Results are summarized in Table 3 below. The main motivation forthe University representatives was to use the outcome from the student work. For the consultantsand the facilitator, enhancing student learning
the determination of cost isusually straightforward. However, determining the monetary value of benefits is quite varied andoftentimes difficult.The history of determining a monetary benefit from engineering improvements dates back to1930’s. For example, the benefit derived from the construction of a dam to provide flood controlcan be easily identified in monetary terms (value of property and goods lost due to flooding).When a dam is constructed for flood control there are incremental aspects of the project, such asmeans for hydro-electric power generation and recreational facilities on the impounded lake. Thedetermination of the monetary value of the hydro-electric power is rather straightforward, butmonetary quantification of the benefit

In2002, all the technical work on the term project was done in the GIS lab under the tutelage of theinstructor. The reports were written up outside the lab.

specifically with glucose, the concentration of glucose can be measuredindependently of the presence of other sugars that are quite chemically similar. As forindustrial catalysis, practical sensor applications require that enzymes and receptorproteins be immobilized onto a solid surface. The chemical scheme most commonlyemployed on the laboratory scale involves the use of Au-S self-assembly chemistry. Thisallows both direct immobilization of proteins that contain cysteine residues, and indirectattachment of proteins to surfaces through linker chemistries. As will also be discussed,protein immobilization can also be made directly onto Si for integration into MEMS

These factors include obviously classroom-related items such as “Activeand Collaborative Learning” activities, “Time-on-Task,” and “Course-Related Interactions withFaculty.” Less obvious factors, however, are also listed. These include “Out-of-ClassRelationships with Faculty,” “Quality of Campus Relationships,” and even “Use of InformationTechnology.”9 Engagement, then, can be said to be an amalgamation of a number of elements,constituting both the intellectual and social connections students make with course materials aswell as the environment(s) in which the materials are

examinedthe ratings of software processes for new ISO standards (Jung 2003). It also evolved practically in a university-level evaluation of individual college assessment plans within that author’s experience.Designation and use of a head-judge/s is an intervention that we have used within our events. Each head judgeis assigned a team of judges. Each team of judges is then assigned a set of participants that a certain number ofjudges must rate. For example, a team may consist of three to five judges, be assigned to rate 12 contestants,with each contestant rated by a minimum of three judges. The head judge determines the logistics required tofulfill these conditions. Also, the head judge fields questions about the criteria and the judging process. At

. Hoover was a prolific (and sometimes eloquent) writer—often more coherent than like-minded contemporaries, such as Arthur Morgan. As engineering educators, we should befamiliar with two of his more important political tracts: American Individualism (1922) and TheChallenge to Liberty (1934). We should also be familiar with the first volume (of three) of hisMemoirs: Years of Adventure (1952). George H. Nash wrote an excellent, multi-volumebiography, the first volume of which, The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Engineer (1983) bears onHoover’s engineering career. Finally, the eighth chapter of Edwin T. Layton, Jr.’s The Revolt ofthe Engineers (1971) contains a fascinating analysis of Hoover’s participation in the attemptedreform of the American

. Romantic (1800 AD-1900 AD)The Romantic period was a time of independence from the simplification of the Classicalperiod. Composers expressed love in their music: love of nation, love of nature, love ofman, along with the spirits of immortality and independence. Interestingly, the pianobecame the most popular instrument.5.7. 20th Century and Modern Music (1900 AD-present)The music from the 1900’s to today has shown searches for new experiences. There hasbeen radical experimentation, deregulation, and permissiveness.6. Engineering HistoryThe term “engineering” is from a Latin word meaning ingenious [5]. The history ofengineering is rich, as rich as the history of music, with a great number of changesoccurring in the last few centuries.Some texts
