Pretestperformance establishes a baseline for various student performance data, including hardware-based project grades over the same eleven-year period. Final exam performance data ispresented from 2006, the year the course adopted a standardized final exam that is similar instructure to the DT SSCI but custom designed for this particular course.

Active learning has been defined as any instructional method that engagesstudents, whereas collaborative learning involves students working in small groups to reach acommon goal [1, 2]. When student groups are more structured, the term “cooperative learning”has been used [3]. As opposed to traditional lecture-based instruction, active learning methodsactively engage students in the educational process. These instructional methods invite studentsto become engaged, and therefore responsible for

This triggered a tide of tall buildings, including the Home InsuranceBuilding in Chicago and the Manhattan Building in New York1. Steel frame buildings began torise all across the nation without any major changes in their connections or design for nearly acentury after the 1880’s. But after the structural failures during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake,there was a fundamental rethinking in the design of seismic resistant steel moment connections.This led to the SAC Steel Project research funded by FEMA2.

When studentsfind the course material relevant to their own interests, they are likely to become engaged and toachieve deep learning.1 By continually applying the course topics towards personal interests, thestudents are primed to tackle a final project where they are encouraged and guided whileapplying their skills to a project of personal interest.To personalize the course material, we pose a general question to the students, evaluate theiranswers, and then hopefully convert one or more answers into an example
