ma-chines with different specimens a KUKA KR 30-3 robot is used for automated specimenhandling. Different grippers and concepts were developed to guarantee a safe remote speci-men handling11. In the following we will refer to the Zwick Z 250’s usage for performingtensile tests. This test is one of the most common and efficient tests for determining materialproperties12. The properties are important for designing manufacturing processes and can beused in forming applications like FEM-Simulations (e.g. simulation of forming processes orproduction processes). Hence, it is on the one hand a very basic but on the other hand an im-portant test in context of manufacturing technology. Figure 1: Tele-operative testing cell at TU Dortmund

concern to engineers exist; third,contexts specific to different fields of engineering, where ethical issues that are of particularconcern to these specific fields are present. Taking this approach allows educators to not onlyspecify the contents of “actions that have the potential to have a serious impact on the lives ofothers,” but also motivate the importance of ethical and reach better consensus among studentsregarding the nature of ethics in engineering.Towards these ends, in courses taught at SJTU, Shanghai, China and Purdue University, WestLafayette, IN, instructors have developed and used case studies on, for instance, the UeberlingenMid-Air Collision in Germany and Qihoo 360’s P1 Wireless Router in China.

The NYU Tandon director of enrollment management, an NYU financial aidofficer, and the DSI instructor led one and a half hour sessions of college advisement to groupsof 5 to 6 students. The students received feedback on their draft college essays and advice on:choosing a college essay topic, creating a list of candidate schools, interacting with interviewers,and understanding college financial aid terminology and processes.Each mentor was assigned one to two mentees and a given lab was assigned between two to fourmentees. Mentors, typically advanced graduate students or post-doctoral researchers, begancontact with their assigned mentee(s) after the completion of the matching process. Participantswere

encourage students to spend more time assessing how well they understand the material (10).The conventional single-answer MC question can mask a student’s knowledge state from boththemselves and the educator (11). These assessments provide binary or dichotomous feedback:students get the right answer and full credit or the wrong answer and no credit. Students with lowknowledge states who randomly guess on a four-answer-choice question have an expected scoreequal to 25% of the total points. If the students can eliminate one or two answer choice(s), theirexpected score moves towards 50% of the total points. The downside for guessing is earningzero point while the upside is getting full credit. The mutually exclusive and collectivelyexhaustive nature
researchexperience can provide quick and valuable information for faculty mentors. Faculty mentors canuse this feedback to address with participants issues that may be influencing their learning ortheir thinking about future educational or career goals, and make adjustments to improve thelearning environment before the end of the experience.References 1.

Additional datafrom the participants would possibly offer more confirmation of our findings. Overall, our data provides preliminary evidence to support framing faculty developmentmodels around courses because it may lead to higher adoption rates of research-basededucational practices in engineering classrooms.References1.

examples of community needs as well as success storieswhere sustainability was considered. The group visited 6 different wineries (see Figure 4) tolearn about their processes, best practices and current issues with respect to sustainability. Theproduction of wine in Ensenada dates back to the early 1900’s when Russians from the Molokangroup established in the Guadalupe Valley. The quantity and quality of the wines has increaseddramatically in the last decades; this has brought an economic boom as it attracts tourism anddetonates other activities such as arts, sports, gastronomy, culture, entertainment and education.This growth challenges the resource in the region, specifically water.

discipline were more intense (larger dosage) than the discipline-specificsessions associated with the residential camps of 2014. Thus, it is possible that this larger dose ofcontent generally helped students identify with each discipline as a possible major/profession forthem. The second factor that might (also) explain this difference is that the campers in 2014attended all discipline-specific sessions, whereas students that attended the 2015 day camps self-selected into those days (disciplines) that they wanted to attend. Thus, it is possible that the 2015campers that attended each day had more self-identification with the discipline(s) associated withthe day(s) they chose to attend.

These included • A process that allowed some students to assume a large portion of the project system design while others minimized their contributions, resulting in variable learning, • A system that made it difficult to evaluate individual students’ work as a team member, • Inconsistent and sometimes untimely mentoring of technical design work because this occurred only as-requested by groups or after identification by another faculty member, also resulting in widely variable learning experiences, • A very heavy mentoring load for the year-long course instructor(s) that gave the course a reputation of being a highly undesirable assignment
