The course focuses on basic principles of engineering economy as applied to theeconomic analysis of the costs of construction and operation of various engineering works. Theobjectives of this study were to (1) assess the amount of exposure engineering majors have toengineering economy prior to this course and (2) to assess student learning as a result of variouspedagogical techniques used. A pre-test and post-test were developed based on key concepts inengineering economy. The pre-test was administered to measure student’s prior

To prepare for research we undergo years of rigorous training, both inscientific knowledge and in methods of gaining new knowledge throughexperimentation, analysis, and modeling. To prepare for teaching, most of us acquirethe same knowledge, except for a stint as teaching assistants; we receive almost notraining in how to impart it to students. Fortunately, there is now a well developedscience of human learning that has been very explicit in the ways in which studentsshould learn, and how teachers should teach (1, 2).

classroom is formative to the extent that evidence about student achievement is elicited, interpreted, and used by teachers, learners, or their peers, to make decisions about the next steps in instruction that are likely to be better, or better founded, than the decisions they would have taken in the absence of the evidence that was elicited.” [1]There is, in fact, no formally recognized definition of the term. Perhaps because of its broad anduncertain definition, it remains uncertain how efficacious formative assessment is in improvingstudent learning [2], [3]. Despite this, formative assessment is common in modern educationalpractice, particularly in hybrid learning paradigms [4].Third and finally, summative testing intrinsically improves

The results suggestthat alternative tools for idea generation may serve to focus attention on different qualities ofdesign, and that multiple tools may be important for design in engineering education.IntroductionEngineering design has been described as a problem-solving process that “searches through ahypothetical space of many possible ideas.”[1, 2] A design process can be viewed as having a front-end and a back-end, where the front-end design is a “fuzzy” process full of ambiguity[3] thatinvolves a series of divergent and convergent thinking episodes in order to come to a conceptualdesign[4]. The front-end phase includes defining problems, conducting research and designethnography, identifying design requirements, idea generation, and

This time, 0.5 to 1-inch diameter gravel (1 ¼ inches high),1-5 mm diameter course sand (1 ¼ inches high), and 0.15-0.3 mm diameter fine sand (13 incheshigh) were used. The effective filtration height was similar to the 2010-11 design. Sand waswashed and separated using mesh and washing techniques. Three filters were built with severalof the islanders.
