theseprojects and exposes students to Principles of Development of Appropriate and SustainableTechnologies. The redesign of the device to control costs and with end-user feedback is avaluable lesson for students, which cannot be taught in traditional engineering classes butthrough such Experiential Learning courses. The benefits to students include learning the designprocess, learning about traditions and constraints in developing countries, developing devicesthat will be beneficial to a large number of end users, and the joy derived from lending a helpinghand to people around the globe.Bibliography1 Dewey, J.

For those learning objectives not met, the students describedhow their experiences fell short of meeting the objective. In addition, students had to describehow the course is likely to impact their future and their professional careers.Assessment of the CourseIn addition to the assessment of the students by the faculty, an assessment of the course by thestudents was undertaken. The exact assessment tools used varied from year to year given thenumerous faculty involved and the varied venues for the course. In total, three different types

Through the use of case histories such as Apollo 13 andthe Space Shuttle Challenger “Normalization of Deviance” concept2 to lesser-known examplesfrom archives throughout the Agency, NASA engineers learn first hand from these highlyexperienced thought leaders who were there since the 1960’s, and worked through difficult featsand challenges to acquire invaluable experience.The goal of the SSD course is to examine the root causes of aerospace-specific mishaps, and theapplicable lessons that can be derived from these historical incidents. The majority of spacemishaps can be traced to easily recognizable and

We believe the demand for engineers with background in systems engineering will be in even more as the systems become more complex and critical technologies in energy and environmental quality are developed.

achieved both professional AND academic credentials equal to or higher than those of the individuals involved in the P&T process. These "Peer Reviewers" serve as "Quality Assurance Evaluators" to insure the standards of the discipline and the academic community are being sustained. By having individuals who are neither professionally and/or academically qualified to serve in a Peer Review process, we would begin to see that the quality of the program(s) and the academic faculty (over time) would become "watered-down" and "ineffective". Furthermore, it would provide our true academic peers with an opportunity to ridicule and denigrate a system that uses outside "experts" as a key component of our
forinstructors to imagine all the variations of how a word or phrase can be written. In the code,the list of alternatives becomes long, hindering readability. And still some correct answersare marked wrong. Either the instructor needs to examine each answer individually, or (s)heneeds to wait until students complain. There is no easy way out.When answers are longer than a single word, the difficulties compound. Many of myclasses involve programming. My students had problems with Moodle, which treatsembedded blanks as significant. For example, a blank after a parenthesis in an expressioncan cause the system to give zero credit for the answer. Moreover, several specialcharacters, including “” are discarded by the system1 before answers are graded.Worse
-based ActivitiesVarious hands-on activities were used throughout the bonding module. Students were able tohold items made of materials with the representative bonding type(s). The material thuscontextualized information about bonding. The activity was done in teams where students wereencouraged to discuss observations and explain relevance to bonding. To further demonstrateand provide analogies for bonding in polymers, students were given Velcro to model van derWaals bonding and were able to see the difference in difficulty of pulling it apart under differentconfigurations. To observe the anisotropic behavior of polymers as a result of their bonding,students applied tension along various axes to plastic bags by pulling them apart by hand
approaches described in the earlier Collaborative and Team-BasedLearning section. Further, traditional peer-assisted teaching is not typically conducted bycontemporaries/classmates of the enrolled students. This arrangement has been operationallydefined as “the use of undergraduate teaching assistants, usually students who recently weresuccessful in the course, and are useful because they provide a means to supplement large lecturecourses with small discussion groups.”11 Historically, first reports of students teaching studentsappeared in the 1960’s when faculty dissatisfaction emerged in response to large lecture coursesin which the student’s role was largely passive. Similar to the historical use of archons describedabove, undergraduate students
