Sample assessment charts are presented at theend of the paper and discussed.Introduction and Literature ReviewThere is a lot of literature on educational research and teaching and learning techniquesavailable that deal with improving Mechanics education. ASEE J. of EngineeringEducation, J. of Science, Math, Engineering and Technology (SMET) Education, J. ofSTEM, etc., are only a few of many such dedicated journals devoted to engineeringeducation. Numerous textbook authors and the publishers have organized forums oncollege campuses and at several educational conferences such

In supportof this mission our project team is coordinating an International Research Experiences forStudents (IRES) site to provide summer research experiences for University of Alabama (UA)undergraduate students in the College of Engineering at the Brno University of Technology(BUT) in the Czech Republic. This collaboration leverages the unique concentration of faculty atBUT with active fractional-order circuits and systems research [2, 3, 4, 5].Beyond research training the IRES site provides opportunities for social and cultural activities toenrich the student experience. As noted by Straub, social activities are an important aspect ofundergraduate research experiences and serve to introduce participants to each other and get

This suggests that enhancement of the electronic experience itself couldallow more students to recognize the learning benefits of this technology.IntroductionThe VaNTH Engineering Research Center in Bioengineering Educational Technologies(www.vanth.org) developed a platform for electronic delivery of problems consisting of anauthoring component (Courseware Authoring and Packaging Environment – CAPE) and adelivery component (experimental Learning Management System - eLMS) that deliversproblems to students and records their interactions 1, 2. eLMS can be used in a

opportunity to seethree-dimensional deformation, develop a feel for forces in materials, and experience some of theways that the building process influences planning and design decision-making. It is believedthat these projects are adaptable to a range of architectural engineering courses and topics.IntroductionEngineering and architecture faculty employ a wide variety of assignments to simulate theexperience of designing and constructing buildings. Most often these are small models orsegments of the process, but some1 attempt the construction of entire structures. The centralobjectives of these projects are (1) To help students synthesize and attach physical meaning tothe qualitative and quantitative elements of their academic coursework and (2) To

Further, students can be directed to do valuable research using therelated websites across the globe. Additionally, it moves academic institutions towards apaperless environment which can result in considerable savings as the hard-copy distribution ofclass material is reduced or eliminated.DR.

to fulfill our educational objectives, my personal opinion is thatour effort should be directed towards cultivating and increasing the ability ofstudents to think. That the ability to think is more important than the simpletransfer of knowledge is obvious: Even if a student learns everything by the timethe B.S. degree is awarded, a short time after graduation that engineeringprofessional (a) will have to obtain new knowledge, probably on their own (b) it is very probable that a few years after graduation, the young engineer will be the head of a group that involves persons from various disciplines; in that capacity simple, dry knowledge of facts will not be at all helpful; the ability to think, however, will be
