make the course more engaging for students to hopefully increase retention ofstudents within the major. The course’s “studio format” (a course where lecture and lab arecombined) focuses on providing students with multiple opportunities to directly apply what theyare learning in lecture to real-world applications in a laboratory setting. The paper discusses thecourse’s format and its weekly integrated lab activities. It then discusses the student andinstructor reactions to the course and compares them with student and instructor reactions to thecourse taught in the traditional format. Finally, the paper discusses lessons learned andsuggestions for future offerings as well as plans for tracking how the course affects

The students were asked to consider three different timeframesregarding their solution: 20 weeks work plan, 20 months startup plan and a 20 years vision.One of the exercises to support their thinking was conducted in a session, where they wereasked to create future utopias and dystopias to extract guidelines for the rest of the project.The IfC projects started with a weeklong field trip to CERN to get an overview of theavailable technologies as an inspiration source for ideation.

InSeptember 1964 Boes was appointed assistant director of libraries at Syracuse University. A yearlater, in 1965, he was appointed acting director and then director of libraries in 1966. During histenure he oversaw the planning and construction of a new research library for the humanities andsocial sciences, the Bird Library, which opened in 1972. However, his plans to merge somedepartmental libraries met with resistance from faculty.[10] In 1973 Boes left Syracuse tobecome the director of libraries at the University of Georgia in Athens.

: The SLED design team employed five Purdue University STEM faculty membersand local teachers to develop the engineering design science activities. One such activity wascalled Slow Boat, aligned with the Indiana State science standards (Indiana Department ofEducation, 2010). The Slow Boat design activity was designed for fourth grade scienceclassroom. In the Slow Boat lesson, students were asked to design and build a boat to slowlymove through a water tub. The science concepts embedded in the design activity were drag,force, speed, and motion (see Slow Boat lesson plan on https://stemedhub.org).Researchers created a transfer problem, Sled Crash, to assess how students conceptualize theengineering design of a real-world engineering design

developersmust be well-trained in software testing to plan and carry out effective software testing activities.To achieve a better trained workforce in the area of software testing, curricula at academicinstitutions need to be integrated with software validation techniques, including software testing. The problem of integrating software testing concepts and related techniques into programmingand software engineering (SE) courses is still an open research problem. Over the past decade, therehave been many investigations, specifically by members of both academic community and softwareindustry, into ways to integrate software testing into computer science (CS) and SE curricula. Forexample, several approaches attempted to integrate testing concepts into

Currently, the courses are offered through the week and are mixed aroundthe field trip, projects, and various industry presentations. Additionally, in the current schedule,all students participate on all projects. Instead, the “introductory” courses would be offeredduring the beginning of the week and, thus, allow students to decide which STEM fields interestand inspire them. In the back half of the week, students would “sign-up” for various projectsthat interest them. These projects would provide the students with more

? Methodology We employed weekly academic classifications in an early warning system (EWS)for students in an undergraduate engineering course at a research-intensive university inthe Midwest. Coupled with the EWS, we used data from students’ use of variousinstructional technologies during the course through a digital coaching application calledE2Coach. The E2Coach system provides students with a variety of resources including:weekly help messages, exam preparation (before the exam) and reflection (after theexam) tools, a weekly checklist of tasks that will help students prepare for the class, agrade calculator so students can estimate their grade based on past and planned futureperformance, and various online systems for reviewing academic

In practice that means the Council might choose to fund aproject that we suspect won’t work as planned, but that will give the student team achance to learn about a technology or process, or that could lead to the solution of arelated problem. The Beta Program aims to inspire and reward innovation in students by helpingthem try out their ideas without immediate concerns for commercialization. The focus ison technology development and application, and the skill and confidence building thatcomes from trying to make an idea work. When evaluating any one proposal, this leads todiscussions about whether an

targeted to aspecific course outcome. Thus, mapping student responses to exam problems over to learningoutcomes for the course becomes an easier task. Furthermore, the instructor is able to respond togaps in knowledge exposed by early examinations and may plan to test outcomes with a weakerperformance more frequently. The instructor is also able to reallocate class time, if necessary, inresponse to weaker performances seen on course outcomes. With only two or three midtermexaminations, it is difficult to revisit an earlier concept that students on which students may nothave performed well until the final examination.ConclusionsThis paper has discussed three different structures for an introductory solid mechanics course andits postrequisite course
