It has been reported that engineering design capstone courses have shown to increasestudent engineering identity, motivation, and self-efficacy. [13] Rohde et al.’s work withelectrical engineering students indicate that design experiences “strongly influenced” bothengineering identity and belongingness to the engineering community.

For small lab spaces without the resources of larger groups, such as a universitylibrary system, dealing with controlled access of space and equipment, equipment maintenance,stocking of supplies, and orders for students can be extremely difficult. Also, using complexsystems can be burdensome for student employees with quick turnover.

However, there isa downside to this change as this additional block reduces the effective loop gain by 1/𝐾max, since the loopequation is now: 𝐶(𝑠)𝑃(𝑠) 𝐿(s) = 𝑠𝐾max (3)To prevent a reduction in loop-gain, we introduce a constant gain of 𝐾max in the feedback loop (as shownin Figure 8) and the loop equation is now in the same form as the original system in Figure 3. While theaddition of extra gain in the feedback path solves the problem with reduction of loop-gain, it results inreduction in the steady

From analyzing section cuts anddetails to correlating various 2D views of 3D structures and components, to the ability to connectcross-sectional properties to member behavior, these skills help students build an understandingof design methods and engineering intuition.In the past several years of the instructor’s experience student weakness in sketching andvisualization in structural steel design has been obvious. In a recent offering of the course, anassignment was implemented after particularly poor

Students were asked to choose the relevant discipline(s) as they perceived. The number of votes were separated into the three groups, which were normalized by the group size, and the resulting “relevance perspectives” are shown in percentage. Figure 3 summarizes the results from the beginning of the semester. Overall, majority (~67%) of the class perceived the industry as more relevant to EE
instructor (to improveteaching) and the students (to improve learning) [2], [8], [9], [10]. For the “Minute Paper” theinstructor takes a few minutes at the end of class for students to answer two questions, generallywhat they learned and what question(s) remains unanswered. After reviewing student comments,the instructor can address the most common comments in the next class as well as quickly assessa student's learning and understanding [8]. Eliciting information from students on the topic that ismost confusing, or the “muddiest point”, has been applied for years in many different classroomsincluding General Chemistry [8], [9], [10]. For example, King [10] used clicker questions in alarge enrollment General Chemistry course to have students
