reflected onto theobject in testing inside the wind tunnel with the help of a mirror placed in a 45° angle. As thesingle laser beam energy is distributed over a larger area, the light intensity is also distributednon-uniformly. This results in a variation in the intensity of the laser sheet in Gaussiandistribution. Therefore, the intensity is inversely proportional to the area of the laser sheetproduced. Figure 2: Particle Image VelocimetryThese techniques are modified using a new concept in this project to overcome the drawbacks,i.e. the lenses in the system shown in Figure 2 is replaced by an octagonal disc mounted withmirrors which creates laser sheets with uniform intensity throughout the area of the sheet.

and capstone courses, this is doneby planning a feasible civil engineering design or construction project with a community-basedorganization, categorizing activities that students can achieve, and proposing a timeline for eachof these activities.To accomplish this, two CECM faculty members identified community partners, listened to theirneeds and established common areas of work within a few projects that students are able toachieve. The faculty worked with the community partners to clearly address the goal, desired valueand sustainability of each activity. Coupling valuable civic service projects along with classicalinstructional models proved to enhance the learning experience and enable students to reflect onhow their collective deeds may

While there aremany allusions to learning via collaboration and competition in the literature — with a generalsense that both may be desirable in different contexts — there are very few studies which attemptto compare them directly, especially in the field of electrical engineering education.

The research team will engage in reflection on thedevelopment and validation process in Phase 10 to inform future research.Description of the ECA-M8The modified ECA consists of 13 multiple-choice items assessing basic understanding ofengineering design concepts and one design problem testing their ability to transfer the conceptsto a new design problem. Two design problem scenarios were developed, one for the pre-test andone for the post-test. Students were presented with five questions related to the design problem.Specifically, students identified the constraints of the

On average thesurvey response rate was 42% in F15 and 75% in F16. In both years, students listed thefollowing as the most helpful factors for their learning in the flipped classroom model:  In-class problem solving: covering the material before class allowed them to better participate in the in class problem solving sessions.  Learn at own pace: Having the video resources online allowed some students to learn the material at their own pace.  Students were happy that they had the ability to rewatch the videos whenever they

In addition, the classroom was observed using theCOPUS observation protocol to describe it and determine the level of activity and interaction.The instructor’s main takeaway from his first use of these techniques is that they lead to largegains with little-to-no extra time or preparation. Although he had previously not used them dueto a perceived lack of time, his advice to new faculty is to try these techniques in their courses.Additional instructor insights and reflections will also be discussed.1.

A prerequisite forcollaborating productively is to purposefully design and facilitate a robust learning environmentwhere people recognize and work to decrease their own biases. While overt forms ofdiscrimination and bias exist, there are implicit forms of discrimination and bias as well. Tomediate implicit bias, for example, Project Implicit (2011) is a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary initiative that uses research and practical tips to help people recognize where theyare subconsciously treating people differently and enacting discrimination.
