The Skills Assessment Inventory for this coursewas developed by translating the course objectives into six measurement scales. One hundredsixty-two, first-year students completed the Skills Assessment Inventory at the beginning andend of the semester. This paper provides discussion of the significant differences between thepre-test and post-test scores as well as significant differences between genders on the SkillsAssessment Inventory scales.IntroductionHands-on curricula have been found to be an effective method for teaching engineeringconcepts.1 In the Integrated Teaching and

The general instructions for this project were the following: The exercise requires each team to design a modular classroom unit, which when joined with one or more of other similar units will function as a system that operates as a microgrid under the premise of operating in a net-zero manner.

April, who was the only female engineer in the course, purposelyenrolled since she wanted to do more projects instead of “theoretical stuff.” She had beendisappointed with the lack of hands-on projects in her engineering program and did not want towait until her capstone to develop project-based experience. Working in an art-based projectprovided her an opportunity to shift her focus from function to aesthetics. In addition, working inthe art space allowed engineers to do projects that they could not do in a traditional engineerspace, such as casting a molding, which were deemed as too messy for the engineering building.Humanizing

For instance, faculty often choose to use design projectsbecause these projects involve open-ended problems that more closely resemble the work ofprofessional engineers (Harris & Jacobs, 1995).
