Challenges associated with teaching and learning the designsoftware limited the ability of the student design teams to succeed in using the software to thedesired extent. Improvements for the following academic year involved faculty software trainingduring the summer and additional class and laboratory time dedicated to software learning usingtutorials for students during the semester. Student feedback on the use of tutorials was positiveas measured qualitatively through student feedback and quantitatively through evaluation ofcourse work products and exams.

toexpose students “to the language of the mechanical things that surround us” [3] (pg. 2). Due tothe success of this work, product dissection in engineering education has become moreprominent in introductory engineering courses [7]. While prior work has also brought awareness to the potential learning benefits of physicalproduct dissection, there are still many obstacles that keep dissection from being adopted on awider scale [8, 9]. For instance, there is a wide range of the products dissected in these courses;early adopters dissected anything from a see-and-say children’s toy to a four stroke engine [4, 5,10]. In addition, the material cost and the space and safety requirements of the laboratories alsohinder the large scale deployment

PomonaAbstractService learning is an innovative training technique where a service project or service experienceis incorporated in an academic course and is evaluated as part of the course overall grade. In thispaper, we present the design, implementation, and outcomes of a senior project capstone coursewhere service learning content and K-12 outreach activities are incorporated. We collaboratedwith a community partner, Ganesha High School in Pomona city, to provide students withservice learning experiences. The first course project includes an outreach seminar to introducesolar energy to the high school students and an A-to-Z project to build a solar charging station.The second course project includes developing computer programs and teaching the high
limitation of conventional clicker-based PRS, a web-based online PRS, Poll everywhere, provides a simple, cheap solution. PollEverywhere allows all the students to respond simultaneously to the questions by using tablet,smartphone, or computers with no cost. Based on the real-time response, the instructor can accessstudent engagement and performance more accurately and adjust the teaching style and contentaccordingly. This paper proposes a case-based study of using Poll everywhere to overcome thedrawbacks of typical clicking system, help with catching students’ misconceptions, fostering theirengagement and improving their academic performance at a medium size classroom for afreshman-level electrical engineering technology course, “electronic

With thissoftware, students could easily create, edit, and modify digital concept maps.Throughout the 16-week semester, students learned eight topics, corresponding to eight textbookchapters, in Engineering Dynamics [14]. Four topics were on particle dynamics, and the otherfour on rigid-body dynamics. After the teaching and learning of a topic was completed, eachstudent developed a concept map for the topic. Students were provided three to five days toconstruct their concept maps after class. At the end of the semester, each student had created atotal of eight concept maps covering eight topics.Questionnaire surveyAt the end of the semester, a questionnaire survey

populations.Visscher-Voerman [23] conducted retrospective interviews to identify 16 “principles” used byinstructional designers. Kirschner and colleagues [24] explored how instructional designers (inboth academic and business contexts) used Visscher-Voerman’s 16 principles through a Delphi-type study and a team design task. Perez and colleagues [25] used a laboratory think-aloudprotocol to investigate instructional design practices among both novices and experts.Despite differences in sample populations and data collection methods among the studies byPerez and colleagues [25], Visscher-Voerman [23], and York and Ertmer [6], these studiesreported some similarly themed heuristics/approaches.

projectplanning tend to receive less focus in engineering curricula. Students often perceive them not as“core” knowledge in their engineering majors. Increasing engineering student interest, attention,engagement and deeper learning in these knowledge areas is a challenge. In addition to makingcourse materials relevant to these engineering disciplines, instructors have to employ variousactive learning initiatives to ensure effective teaching and learning are actually taking place. Thispaper presents a case study of using a poll app called Poll Everywhere as an active learningactivity in a required senior-level “engineering project management” course for civil andenvironmental engineering students. As a question driven and student active tool, the poll
