But even with these aids,concepts such as eigenvalues, instability, and time constants can seem mysterious to studentsencountering them for the first time. Haptic interfaces, which allow a user to feel a virtualenvironment, are promising tools for helping students obtain an understanding of these physicalphenomena.1.1 The Field of HapticsThe word haptic means relating to or based on the sense of touch. It can refer to a human orrobot’s ability to sense the world via touch, or the display of a virtual environment throughtouch. Words often associated with this concept are haptic display, force feedback, and forcereflection. All of these are technologies that allow computers to

Butthe main quality requirements for a good teacher are motivation and responsibility. We can onlycome up with some guidelines, but it is the teacher who will develop his/her own style ofteaching. Teaching is a creative work, no matter what you teach whether art or technology. So ahighly knowledgeable person is not necessarily a good teacher. It is also the responsibility of theadministration to ensure the quality of teaching and to provide all kinds of support to motivatethe teachers towards developing an excellent academic environment.The objective of this research is to analyze the reasons for the students not being

shown at the bottom of this paper. This sheet wasgenerated based on an object selected in the Operation Navigator. If the selected object is agroup, then all objects inside the group are processed. If the selected object is an operation, thenonly the operation is processed. From the sheet, we estimate that the total machining time isaround 181.33 minutes. The machining process is faster than 3D printing of impellers. For the3D models in Figure 4, it took more than 7 hours to print it out.4.5 Outcome evaluationStudents’ evaluation on the course outcome is summarized as Table 1.

drawbacks, however.Common concerns are that team members will agree to give one another identically highratings, or give ratings based on gender or racial prejudice, or inflate their own ratings if self-ratings are collected. Some instructors also worry that many students will resent having theirgrades affected by their teammates’ ratings. The objective of this study was to examine thevalidity of these concerns.A peer rating system developed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was modifiedand used in two sophomore-level chemical engineering courses. The students completed theirhomework in instructor-formed teams in each course, and an average homework grade wascomputed for each team. At the end of each course the students confidentially

In undergraduate engineering courses, TAs performed a widevariety of tasks including lecturing, leading lab sections, conducting review sessions, facilitatingdiscussions, holding office hours, and providing technological support. A study of biologycourses demonstrated that TAs provided a more personalized experience for students that actedas an essential and valuable complement to the more aloof, authoritative, and strict control thatundergraduates perceived of instructional faculty. A similar study of high-enrollment biologycourses at a research-intensive Australian university [12] found that consistent TA-studentpairings were positively associated with gains in student motivation and learning
