The misconducts were definedas respondent options according to the qualitative information collected in group interviews withstudents. There are student issues such as the free-rider problem that are highly prevalent in thestudent body, besides the act of signing the attendance list on someone’s behalf and cheating inactivities within a laboratory module.

Our numerical results indicate that the model can accurately predict the time courses of ECtoxicants at multiple organs.

The project also requires students to work in teams, plan a long-term project, andcommunicate their product development plan, preliminary design, and final designs through aseries of presentations and reports. The course has a final competition where teams demonstratetheir designed products. In an earlier paper, Calabro, Gupta, and Lopez Roschwalb23 discussedmore details about the design and implementation of this Design Course.Each section is staffed by an instructor and an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA).Additionally, there are laboratory teaching fellows who manage the laboratory/fabrication spaceand assist teams in fabrication and/or programming as needed.

The instructor should walk around the class andmake sure that students are working on the guided notes without being distracted.5. Passion Projects This teaching module was not successfully implemented in the compressible flow classbecause of the lack of supersonic wind tunnels and laboratory facilities at the University of Daytonto generate compressible flows. But this module is currently being incorporated in the fundamentalaerodynamics class taught by the author. The idea of passion projects was inspired from a projectbased research class for undergraduate students at Massachusetts Institute of

building on this theory encourage studentsto engage in real world problems where they can reflect on their learning experiences andknowledge gained.42 By engaging in these learning activities, students can directly apply theirtheoretical knowledge and skills in a real-life context.43 These experiential learning activities caninclude field site work, laboratory experiences, indoor and outdoor projects and other researchwork.2 Thus, experiential learning is situated in a setting, which is relevant to the learner’s futureprofession that furthers helps in developing transferable skills. 40 This theory also emphasizes thatstudents’ experiences will be reflected in their future engagements. For example, if students areengaging in research work and

School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Prior to this position, he was the Associate Chair of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech – Savannah. He was also the Founding Director of the Systems Realization Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of

differences between BEand MAE groups. First, the BE groups’ flows suggest an increase of reported engagement nearthe end the project. We suspect that this increase is due to the impending deadlines. The BEexperts commented that they usually saw a similar pattern among the undergraduate students intheir laboratory. Second, the MAE groups’ design process flow pattern suggests an incrementalreported engagement from the problem definition phase to the conceptual design phase and thento the preliminary design phase. A similar trend was not found in the BE groups’ flows. Oneinterpretation of this pattern is that the MAE groups’ design process was design-phase-drivenwhile the BE groups were design-activity-driven [13]. We suspect the discipline principles
incollaborative research settings, especially at the graduate level. Graduate engineering studentsare immediately expected to assimilate into a laboratory group, usually an interdependent team,with varying degrees of guidance by faculty members. The group dynamics and the role of trustas graduate students learn to conduct collaborative research is underexplored, but may haveramifications for the way in which graduate programs are structured or in how graduate studentsare matched with potential research advisors.Other theories and research also seek to understand mechanisms by which experts innovate inprofessional settings, and many of these have been applied to engineering education.

. Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing to pass it on, and/or share it with their group members. Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and

throughout the United States. All CIS undergraduates are required to take 120 credit hours of course which includes 58 credit hours in the CIS department. Most CIS courses are offered as lecture classes with 4 contact hours each week. There are several classes which also require attendance in closed laboratory sessions. The emphasis in CECS is on small class sizes (30:1 student to faculty ratio) and offering hands on experiences through class assignments, course projects, internships, and a two semester (8 month) capstone design project course (4 credits total). The CIS capstone project experience involves students working as part of a four person team under the mentorship of a senior CIS professor to

I: how about an ideal engineering career, what does that look like for you? T: Right now, it would be more like research and development. So it would be basically in a lab and doing research in going on to the field and collecting samples and getting data….Then, the interviewer phrased the question a little differently, which seemed to access anotherimportant component: I: What else about that an ideal job, what else is there from the day to day or more broad understanding of the values of the job?
