and addressed student difficulties in ways that areeffective and generally enjoyed by the students. Additionally, an active learning workshop in thesummer of 2018 motivated me to use more involved active-learning techniques, including theflipped classroom and inductive learning. Consequently, I flipped the last two modules of anelectronic design laboratory in the summer as well as a signal processing lab in the fall of 2018.The effectiveness of these advanced techniques was formally assessed by comparing student workbefore and after the implementations, and these preliminary results will be discussed. Surveys andinterviews were used to measure student perceptions of the teaching techniques, and these resultswill also be discussed, with

First-Year Programs

Laboratory Improvement grant allowed us to extend the curriculum to all 280 freshman engineering students taking ENGR 120 in the fall of 2007. Approximately 400 freshman students have enrolled in the course sequences based on the Living with the Lab curriculum during the current 2007-2008 academic year. During efforts to develop a formal assessment plan to determine the effectiveness of the new courses, we realized that we needed a set of guideposts to help us determine if our strategies were effective not only in teaching students, but also in preparing them for their engineering careers. We realized that the work sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering to identify attributes of “The Engineer of 2020”17 aligned closely with our efforts

Group work can offer many benefits includingimproved communication and team work skills, appreciation and respect for others, and evenincreased individual performance. However, group work may also present drawbacks includingostracism, unequal work distribution (some group members not ‘pulling their own weight’) anddecreased individual performance.

through the stimulation and motivationof students [1]. Accordingly, it makes sense that those selected to teach undergraduatestudents should be trained properly for this function. Unfortunately, while mostcandidates applying for openings have little teaching experience, the institutions that arelooking to hire prospective faculty expect their candidates to be “teaching ready”[2].Adding to this problem is that the teaching experience that graduate students receive isquite different across the nation. For example, some graduate students are just used tograde homework and examinations, while others run homework recitations and a thirdgroup handles the laboratory. All of these experiences are quite unique and, at somelevel, a newly-hired faculty

This matches the spirit of the course, which is to broadly cover all spacecraftsystem and subsystem level issues and not to cover one subsystem in great detail. After eachsubsystem is tested and characterized in the lab, it is stacked up in an integrated fashion,ultimately producing a picosatellite-sized fully operational system by the end of the semester.
