Some students have a blurred idea of what is academic dishonesty, especially onhomework7. In many places, homework is not a substantial part of the grade so it is acceptable toreceive online help on homework.8 Some instructors avoid traditional homework and use projects toassess student learning, yet it appears the online tutors are available to not only solve problems butwrite papers and laboratory reports. There appears to be a growing market for online tutoring servicesto help students solve

In the free response question about what I should keep doing the rest of thesemester, the students included these relevant comments:Survey Question: What should I KEEP doing the rest of the semester to help you learn? • “Review materials such as the millionaire game and the additional exercises in the assignments section are very helpful.” • “having in-class exercise and review games” • “Quizzing us with kahoot it or the

Two other survey items related toreading showed a decrease in agreement, but the difference between the end and beginning of thecourse was not significant (Figures 13 and 14). It may be that students found the course readingsmore difficult toward the end of the course; this material required synthesis and application ofprevious course concepts. Additionally, students may be busier toward the end of the semesterwith projects and exams in other courses which may compete for their study time.As shown in Figure 12, there was no significant change in how students responded to thefollowing item: “When studying for this course

The clayis saturated, meaning the void space is filled with water, and a reduction in the void volumerequires that water in the voids must be discharged from the voids and flow to another location.Soil consolidation models utilize principles from mathematics, solid mechanics, and fluidmechanics. Students learn these principles in trigonometry, calculus, differential equations,physics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.Consolidation results in a change in volume that is expressed, near the surface, as settlement(often of the structure that caused the increased stress). Unexpected settlement can bedetrimental to a project, not only to the

Also, it is sometimes unclear what the instructor is looking for in certain sections of the report. Having three big projects worth a large percentage of the course grade due the week before finals is not an ideal situation.

Finally, the paper discussespedagogical and design approaches used to make this introductory module an engaging lecturefor the freshman engineering students.What is instructional design?Instructional design is a systematic design process to “facilitate intentional learning”.2 Theinstructional design process assimilates learning theories, information technology, systematicanalysis, and project management.4 While the content is provided by the SME, the instructionaldesigner adds the experiences of learning and offers opportunities to practice within the contentto enhance learner engagement and to improve learning gains.Steps of instructional designWith the need for an

Shortly after the NationalEnvironmental Policy Act, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, and theestablishment of Earth Day, Saarinen [3] emphasized the need to understand the link betweenhuman activity and environmental impact as future decisions grow in significance. These conceptsare not new as Thomas Malthus [4] emphasized the stresses the human population may place onresources essential for continued survival may result in collapse due to essentially exceeding theEarth’s carrying capacity. Although technological improvements provide a means to continuallychange projected resource exhaustion, the

In future course offerings, all activities will be in-class, team (2 or 3 students)exercises.An overview of the research project was given to the class at the beginning of the semester. Asthe course progressed, more in-depth presentations and discussions regarding the relevant topicsfollowed. For example, during the portion of the course in which vibration measurement wascovered, a presentation detailing the experimental method was given. This included discussionof the components of the test fixture, data acquisition system, and measurement sensors such asaccelerometers
