generalhuman subjects concerns, of course.ConclusionWe believe the success of our SGID method can be attributed to its alignment with our context.In our experience, engineering faculty like interpreting data for themselves but are very busywith substantial research obligations, so they appreciate that our reports both offer acomprehensive transcription of student feedback but with grouping and ordering to facilitateskimming and prioritization of concerns. They also tend to be quantitatively minded, so theyappreciate the inclusion of summary statistics with visual representations. With only about tenweeks in a quarter, our analyzing feedback in less than a business day enables clients to close theloop promptly and maximize the impact of course

, aLightweight Fighter Design Project, a Glider Design Project, homework, two exams and acomprehensive final exam. The desire was to update the course with new approaches to teachingintroductory aeronautics. The framework for change came as a result of a Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) Innovating Curriculum with Entrepreneurial (ICE) MindsetWorkshop. Since 2007 Baylor University has been involved with the KEEN. KEEN is “a nationalpartnership of universities with the shared mission to graduate engineers with an entrepreneurialmindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime ofmeaningful work” [1]. This is accomplished by incorporating entrepreneurially minded learning(EML) into the classroom
ancient method of Egyptian fractionscan be used for this purpose when teaching parallel resistors, whether a professor has a totalresistance or a particular resistor in mind, or whether they want to use standard manufacturers’values.KeywordsAlgebra, Electrical Engineering Education, IEC Standards, Mathematical Analysis, ResistorsIntroductionWhen teaching introductory electronics courses, I try to use examples with integer solutions inorder to give students a better sense of the quantities involved in the circuits. This is similar to“when a teacher is first introducing students to the Pythagorean Theorem, she usually likes to giveexamples that have easy numbers, ones that don’t get too ‘messy’ in their calculations.”1 Whenteaching the Pythagorean
