higher mathematics. Students got a practical introduction to many engineering concepts they will later study. These concepts include thrust, impulse, drag force, payload, ascent and descent (with and without a parachute) times, speed, and acceleration. The importance of the future courses in physics are emphasized. These activities constitute one of two team projects of a 1.5 credit portion of a two-credit course in exploration of engineering and technology at the Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. Students learn many skills they need later in their studies and professional practice such as spreadsheet data entry and mathematical operations. Not the least of which is teamwork, a skill that they acquire as they organize into groups with
to lead outside the formal curriculum AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

Since we have offered a stable version of Physics Jam sinceJanuary 2014 we finally have gathered enough data to more fully evaluate the effectiveness ofthe program. We are currently working on a project to determine if Physics Jam participants areable to complete the first and second semester physics sequence more quickly than theircounterparts that do not participate in Physics Jam.References1.
