Engineering students need meaningful strategies for approaching multiple types ofproblems in order to develop the knowledge and reasoning necessary for success in

At that time, we found that 15 students had consented to allowtheir data (i.e., their course assignments) to be used for research. Our research project wasapproved by the local Institutional Review Board (IRB#17595).Data collectionWe collected both quantitative and qualitative data from the students. For quantitative data, weadministered a pre- and post-survey during the first and last week of the course, respectively.The survey had a total of 42 items.

that the wiring would be problematic and potentially delay lab workthe following weeks. However the concerns proved unfounded and the students were able tocomplete the wiring successfully in teams of four within the 2 hour lab time. To help the process,the instructor station was wired ahead of the lab and left as an example for the students.After the first week, the wiring was left in place and modified as needed in following labs. Inthose weeks the students were able to add sensors and actuators to satisfy weekly lab exercises.At the conclusion of the semester students were given more elaborate projects where they neededto connect their station to control a piece of equipment like a conveyor and can crusher.At the time of final submission the

It also provides the student an experience tothe particular facets of an industry, or multiple industries, if they have not yet decided on wherethey wish to begin their career.It is important both to the student and the industry involved that the internship provide “realworld” work, not drawing filing or other paperwork projects which do not apply to the programthe student is following. That is not to say that the student must be given original design work tocomplete, but rather some small segment of design, drawing modification, subroutine algorithmdevelopment, and so forth.

One operation, calledthe dot product, is written as 𝐀⃗ ⃘⃗𝐁 and yields a scalar (that is, a number and not a vector). Thenext operation, called the cross product, is written as 𝐀 ⃗ × ⃗𝐁 and yields a vector which isperpendicular to the plane spanned by the vectors 𝐀 ⃗ and ⃗𝐁 and the third operation produces ascalar and is called the triple scalar product, and denoted by 𝐀 ⃗ × ⃗𝐁 ⃘𝐂.The dot product provides a means to compute the length of the projection of a line segment onto ⃗ onto thesome intersecting line.

These assignments were designed tohelp improve spatial visualization ability. However, the class was generally focused on 3Dmodeling skills and SolidWorks operation, and not on spatial visualization ability.A survey was also administered to assess self-efficacy and to ask the students about how helpfulthey found the different learning activities in the course. We measured self-efficacy regarding 3Dgraphics topics using the three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy scale described by Densenand Kelly [21].

, particularly at the post-secondary level?If Dewey [21] is correct in asserting that all experience becomes through continuity andinteraction, then education must tend to these elements. How do educators choose strategically tobuild upon student experiences over time? How do educators assemble the right environment,comprising subjects and objects that, through interaction, lead to the greatest positive growth?Here, I am most interested in the second question. In agreement with Dewey, the significance ofthe experience is going to depend upon how well students are grounded in a shared “socialenterprise.” This is not the kind of enterprise that one should associate with business orentrepreneurialism. It is, rather, enterprise as a complex project or

In addition to presentingexemplars within mixed methods research designs, we offer additional strategies for researcherswho find it challenging to integrate mixed methods beyond the data collection and drawinginferences stages of a project.
