equations of motion for con-servative systems. This formulation of dynamics is typically reserved for courses in which it canbe derived, which students encounter in their senior years at the earliest. However, while diffi-cult to derive, Lagrange’s equations are easy to use for conservative systems, even for sophomorestudents. They perform the functions of uniting energy methods with Newton’s second law andintroduce students to the concept of equations of motion that will be used consistently in juniordynamic systems. An example project is presented along with student feedback.SolidWorks for VisualizationWork integrating SolidWorks examples into the course can be broken into two categories: in-classexamples and student assignments.

Page 24.1160.2IntroductionFor a number of years now, engineering instructors throughout the world have begun toexperiment with the notion of a “flipped” or “inverted” classroom. This teaching approachencourages students to gain the required base knowledge of a concept prior to class through short“mini-lecture” videos or other preparatory exercises. The great potential for this approach is thatit provides instructors with the opportunity to reimagine and redesign the in-class experience tocreate a more active learning environment.Recently, this approach was applied to the teaching of an electric and magnetic fields course aspart of the second-year electrical and computer engineering curriculum at the University ofToronto, which is a large

As these new applications evolved, buoyed by the accurate prediction ofMoore’s Law (actually, only an observation) of future increases in microelectronics densities andlower costs, technology has become mainstream in today’s society. Finally, as computers andtheir use has become ubiquitous, the Internet (realized by computer networking technologies) hasbrought us clearly into the digital telecommunications era (think high definition television, 4Gcell phones, and streaming video) and to the cusp of the next evolution in the use of electronicstechnology.

bodily-kinesthetic intelligence”3 to name a few. Gardener views intelligence as an individual’s abilityto solve problems or create products that are valued by society. The implication for teaching andlearning is that instructors need to vary the inputs and have a repertoire of strategies forfacilitating learning. The more ways we find to process material, the stronger learning becomes.We need to recognize there’s no “one best way.”Learning is enhanced in an enriched environment. The physical environment of the classroom iscertainly important (aesthetics, climate, etc.), but so too is the learning environment that wecreate to get students to use their minds well. An enriched learning environment is a settingwhere students are actively engaged in

When presentedwith five possible upgrades, students overwhelmingly selected an integration of Google Driveinto the LMS as the most important upgrade. These results highlight the ongoing transformationof LMS’s; end users now expect Product Data Management (PDM) capability, which untilrecently was only used in high-end, sophisticated Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software.This is likely due to the rise of cloud computing and file sharing facilitated by Google Drive andother products like Dropbox. Students expect similar novel capabilities out of all technologicalplatforms, including their LMS. An initial analysis of the clickstream data reveals that

contemporaryideologies, a material agnostic approach, computational materials science and engineering, andprepare students to work on interdisciplinary teams. With the above stated goals, a sophomoreyear course was redesigned and renamed from “Introduction to Materials Science” to “MaterialsProperties and Design”. The instructor chose to both add additional content and use pedagogies toaddress each of the goals of the newly redesign curriculum. Contemporary ideologies were broughtinto the classroom by adding content at the end of each section to discussion how the topics pre-sented in class were applicable to existing and new real-world applications. A materials agnosticapproach was implemented by utilizing the integrated version of the Callister textbook.1
