The cycle is a well-known and effective model in education whichoutlines the process where knowledge is gained through transformative experiences. As studentsimmersed themselves in an active learning framework, acquisition of knowledge resulted fromthe combination of participation, assimilation, comprehension, and conceptualization ofexperiential processes in the affective, psychomotor, and cognitive domains.In an effort to support the grant-funded research for bioenergy systems and also provideexperiential learning opportunities, undergraduate

The use of a multimedia case study is usedfor an engineering design course to encourage team work, improve presentation skills,and simulate real world decision making. An evaluation of the project suggests thatstudents are susceptible to this pedagogy for engineering instruction, and that it canpromote critical thinking and team work in an academic environment.IntroductionThe industry foghorn continues to resonate across the engineering academy on the

By requiring estimations, the project becomes open-ended; students understandthat their answers are not exact, or ‘right’, but are still valid. Framing the project as one thatcorresponds well to students’ sense of what one ‘does’ in their discipline provides a greaterdegree of student autonomy in completing the project because

This allowsstudents to obtain adequate prerequisite preparation. It also gives them the opportunity tofollow-up and complete a major capstone project which includes real-time and embeddedsystems during their senior year. The objectives in creating the course were: • Keep hardware and software costs low so that the course can be offered inexpensively and so that students can do course assignments in their home/dorm as well as in a lab. • Use hardware and software similar to that currently being used in industry

At this point, we have implemented our junior and senior programs. Thebasic process starts with a 1-day "innovation workshop" led by facilitators from the Institute forWomen and Technology.
