torque and angularmomentum [1]. The work of C. Kontra et. al. finds that with active learning, students’ exposureto a physical interaction to forces that were associated with angular momentum correlated to anincrease in quiz scores, as well as activation in the brain related to the sensorimotor region whenreasoning about angular momentum at a later time. Other studies such as that of S. Freeman et al.[2] have also shown that through active learning, students gain the ability to perform better ontests than without active learning. Therefore, with the shift into a virtual learning space, itbecomes imperative to maintain the kinesthetic learning aspect of laboratory based courses, toengage students, as well as to help them gain better conceptual
replaced by 3-D modeling software. Faculty started transitioning to solidmodeling as the core topic in the graphics curriculum in the late 1990’s and beyond2,3,4,5,6. A logoshown in Figure 1 was developed in the early 1990’s to express the author’s ideas at that time, andover time has had an international influence7. Full implementation of the paradigm was not fullyrealized until 20 years after the logo was first published. Now, as we enter the third decade of the21st century, the 3-D computer model is firmly entrenched as the epicenter of the modern digitaldesign and manufacturing enterprise. It is time that our teaching methodologies and spaces reflectthis modern design reality.A second motivation for the proposed Design Graphics Collaboratory

The psychological theories highlight personal characteristics that defineentrepreneurship. Simpeh has included “traits theory” and “need for achievement theory” in thepaper 10. The “trait theory” hypothesizes that an individual has inborn qualities or potentials thatnaturally make him an entrepreneur. The issue with the trait model is that, there is no consistentevidence of unique entrepreneurial characteristics 11. Simpeh also quotes McClelland‟s

IntroductionDeveloping effective teamwork skills among undergraduate students is part of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)’s engineering criterion2006- 2007 [1]. Besides the ABET requirements, many employers emphasize the need ofgood teamwork skills for the engineering graduates [2]. In addition, it is well known thatcooperative learning enhance students’ learning performances. Under the cooperativelearning or teamwork environment, students work together to maximize not only theirown, but other students ability to learn [3,4]. Most engineering programs incorporate

The FRAM consists of four steps: (1) functionidentification and description, (2) variability identification, (3) variability aggregation, and (4)control mechanism identification [25]. The functions that comprise each model, identified anddefined in the first step, represent all actions that occur within the system. Each function ischaracterized by up to six factors: input(s), output(s), precondition(s), resource(s) or executivecondition(s), control(s), and time. A function may be a foreground function if it is the primaryprocess of concern or a background function if it affects the process but is not directly involved.The first three

We again attribute this attempt to the left-side error. ● 1 min later, the student changes the left-side to area. We attribute to the left-side error, which is now fixed. ● In 5 submissions over the next 9 minutes, the student tries changing line 2's expression to PI * 2 * r, then 2 * r * PI, then PI * (r * 2), then PI * r * 2.0, and finally PI * r * r.Humans can recognize what the errors were, and can attribute 3 attempts and 3 minutes to solvethe left-side error and 5 attempts and 9 minutes to the squaring error.

For example, Hopper and Stave [6]developed ways to assess the effectiveness of systems thinking interventions in the field ofeducation by defining systems thinking, determining what systems thinking interventions werebeing used in the current education models, and describing how the effects of interventions havebeen measured. Their definition uses the learning objectives in Bloom et al.’s [7] taxonomy tocreate their own proposed taxonomy as it pertains to systems thinking. Hopper and Stave’s [6]taxonomy consisted of different measures including

DescriptionThe main focus of this NSF Scholarship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(S-STEM) project is to provide 70 scholarships and student support services to student veteranswhich will address the major barriers to degree completion in engineering and engineeringtechnology. Students who participate in this program are veterans who are either juniors orseniors. They also have to demonstrate a financial need, motivation, and proven academicexcellence, and have exhausted their Post-911 GI Bill benefits. The students participating in thisprogram are from one of the following majors that are available at our college. These are: Civiland Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical andAerospace Engineering
