Other functions, such as offset, revolve, creating geometricforms in different plans, and sweep are all used in this project.The second project was mostly related to several types of Legos with different sizes, colors, andfunctionality. In this project, students learn how to create a composite system using several shapesof Legos, such as cars, planes, robots, or even animals. Later, the students perform 2D and 3D-plans and views representing their projects.The third project was mostly related to a realistic design project, where the students need toselect three to four hooks for separate tools, from a bank of tools brought to the classroom by theinstructors. The instructors brought tools from their homes (figure 4), as well as

has been taught in two iterations of the Statics and Mechanics ofMaterials course and two iterations of the Applied Engineering Mechanics course. No formalevaluations of the project or the impact it has on the students has been conducted, but studentfeedback on the project has been generally positive outside of some complaints about the amountof work as the project continues refinement. This complaint has been addressed by reducing thenumber of scaffolded assignments for the project to allow the students more flexibility. In future work, a research team investigating the development and impacts of project-basedlearning courses plans to evaluate this project through a mixed-methods study. The impact of theproject, as perceived by the

After these lectures, two experiential modules for proportionalcontroller and proportional-integral controller are assigned. Although originally there was a plan for a fourthexperiential module on PID controller design, for practical reasons that will be explained later, it turned outthat implementation of such controller using analog circuitry would not be straightforward.III.

During the pre-observation meeting, the newinstructor goes over the course syllabus, lesson plan for the day they are to be observed, andpresents an overview of student feedback collected so far. They also inform the observers whataspects of their teaching they most want feedback on to help guide the actual observation. Onceobserved, the two observers share notes and write up a one-page summary of their observation.The instructor completes a self-reflection sheet before the post-observation meeting is conducted.At the debriefing, the conversation always begins with the instructor’s self-reflection
childhood school cafeteria habit. Uponfinishing a juice box or pouch, kids would bite the plastic straw and pull on it to stretch it out. Infact, the author would do this very quickly and then feel the heat dissipated while it yields bytouching the stretched-out portion. Of course, the author had no idea about yielding at the time,but when trying to develop a demonstration for this concept, the author realized this habitrepresents a simple, but effective model to which many students can relate.For a demonstration in the classroom though, these plastic straws are a little small to observeand/or require some pre-planning to purchase so every student can have her/his own sample. Asan alternative, the author used the fact that yielding in plastic can

In the secondyear, the writings during the semester were modified to be incorporated as parts of the finalproject. Lessons were added which used engineering concepts to reinforce the skills they werelearning in their College Algebra classes. A catapult competition was also added at the end of thesemester to give students a hands-on team experience. In 2017, the math skills assignments werephased out in favor of some Microsoft Excel lessons. In 2018, the course was redesigned usingTeach Yourself How to Learn (Yancy McGuire and McGuire, 2018).

Casselman and Atwood [11] noted aslight increase in performance (about 4% higher on summative assessment exams and the ACSfinal) for those students who received this “metacognitive training” when compared to the controlgroup [11]. Cook et al.

In this effort, we are limiting our focus to one specific dynamicmode of the aircraft (short period); within the virtual environment, the user will be presented witha pulldown menu that gives them access to the s-plane widget.

This paper willdiscuss some of the most important projects undertaken to date. A brief description of each ofthose projects will be given with a focus on the challenges involved and how the studentsresponded to those challenges. Overall, the feedback we received from the students involved inthe program has been very positive.The renewable energy laboratory officially began in the summer of 2018 with a team ofprofessors and students working on the control system for a two-axis solar tracker. Since thatsummer a comprehensive plan for the implementation of a fully

They identified the practices that were primarily described as science orengineering and the ways in which these practices overlapped. The eight science andengineering practices included: (1) asking questions and defining problems; (2) developing andusing models; (3) planning and carrying out investigations; (4
