Specific objectives forthis project are to develop and field a prototype Study Buddy agent, assess its effectiveness interms of motivating students, and utilize the work as a basis for future growth in tutorial agentcapabilities.This project targeted a purposefully small and well-defined set of course outcomes for a mathcourse that described properties of certain sets, called relations. The outcomes require thestudents: 1.) be able to recognize whether or not the relations exhibited reflexive, symmetric,and/or transitive properties, and 2.) be able to create

The students are given a specific design task; currently the design task has beento build a walker robot.Course DescriptionThe current format of the course contains three components: (1) The use of a commercialParametric Modeling package. Currently the SolidWork software is used. (2) An understandingof the available new technology, such as using a Rapid Prototyping (RP) machine and using a 3Dscanner. (3) The designing and building of an actual product to further reinforces the conceptsand principles learned. By integrating the project into the 2nd half of the course, the insights andstrengths of using the available new technologies can be better observed.The course is structured in a 2-3-3 format (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab, 3 credit

As part of a larger mixed methods study, thispaper focuses on the critical element of team facilitation. Specifically, we examine how studentsperceive the role of facilitators and how these perceptions influence student motivation.Grounded in the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation, we present findings from interviewsconducted with first-year engineering students at two different research sites.

Becauseengineering educators are hired as teachers does not mean they instantaneously become effectiveteachers. Some people are “born teachers” and know how to teach by intuition (4). Though itmay be a slow process, others must learn how to teach effectively. Some faculty consistentlywork to improve their teaching by finding better ways of engaging students in their classes whileothers spend their careers teaching unproductively. One growing set of resources are theteaching workshops, videotaped lectures, and teaching consultants that many universities nowoffer. However, these programs
