work remains to be done in more fully understanding the relationship between writing andlearning, particularly in order to help faculty develop assignments to support specific types oflearning.Bangert-Drowns et al.’s review five years later reflects similar processes and gaps [48]. Theirsystematic review examined hundreds of articles on writing-to-learn written over the pasthundred years, though as they note the majority of these articles were written in the 1980s and1990s. After a rigorous evaluation process that allowed them to identify a core set of articles thatprovided empirical evidence of the academic effects of writing-to-learn assignments againstcontrol groups without those assignments, the authors conducted a statistical meta

. Sometimes theyresulted in ridiculous meaning, as in this example where the students are literally saying thatflood waters will stop and speak with a geologist before reaching the flood stage: After conversations with Jim Wheeler of the Geology Department, the 100yr flood event will likely have a flowrate of approximately 2700 ft3/s…Other sentence-structure errors were compounded by students’ use of complex sentences. Theyresulted in ungrammatical sentences whose meaning is discernible but not clearly stated, as inthis example from a lab report: But the brittleness of each coupon varied with coupon #3 having little necking and being the most brittle of the three coupons, coupon #13 had more necking than #3 but less than #7 and

Engineering Education, 2012 Incorporating Clickers and Peer Instruction into Large Structural Engineering ClassroomsAbstract Interaction and feedback are particularly challenging in large lecture environments,where class size limits student-faculty interaction. Clickers can be used to ensure studentsunderstand fundamental concepts by providing instant feedback to the instructor about studentknowledge gaps or misconceptions [1]. The use of clickers also helps maintain students’motivation and engagement in what’s going on in class, and provides an opportunity for PeerInstruction (PI). Clickers have been used since the 1980’s in many science and humanitiescourses such as physics, biology, chemistry, history

class room or laboratory.For an engineer in industry, a project is a sequence of tasks required to reach an objective.Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to a customer (user). Theproject begins by defining a performance problem associated with an application and ends with adesign solution. The problem drives the learning required to complete the project. Managing theproject requires the engineer to demonstrate effective teamwork, clear communication and theability to balance the social, economic and environmental impacts of the project. Project-basedlearning (PBL) is based on the practice of solving problems. The concept of problem-basedlearning was first developed in the medical field in the mid-1950’s. It

EPICSEPICS is an engineering-centered, multidisciplinary, service-learning program at PurdueUniversity that has received national recognition. Students enrolled in the EPICS courses learndesign while they develop projects for local or global community partners. In the 2011-2012academic year, over 500 students from more than 70 majors within the College of Engineeringand across the university have participated in EPICS. This program is structured with student-leddivisions, each with 8-20 students, a faculty or industry mentor, and a graduate teaching assistant(TA). Each division has one or more not-for-profit agency/ies (such as a museum, governmentservice, charity, etc.) as a community partner(s). The students work with their communitypartner(s) to
