All studentstake the same final exam at the same time during final exam week. Grading is divided so that thesame faculty member will grade the same problem(s) on the final for all students taking the finalexam. That is, faculty member A may be assigned to grade problems 1 and 2 for all studentstaking the final exam that semester. This insures that all of the finals are graded consistently.Performance on the common final is a good indicator of how well the students learned thematerial taught in the class. An average is generated each semester for each section of the class,and an overall

Once the quiz is passed the team or small groups ofstudents are taught one of the skills mentioned early by an expert (teaching assistant) thengiven a small project to complete independently which is then evaluated by the expertusing a rubric. If the student passes inspection then the student becomes certified in thatarea of skill.In the second step student teams use the acquired skills to contribute to the first project.The class acts as one large team trying to create a project which is created one step at atime as described previously. Each team completes their part of the project then passesinformation or products to the team(s) that are in

moresignificant visits to the community provided a huge benefit. Also, having a long-standingrelationship with the partner community was also strongly beneficial.Fitting the EDW project into the single semester so that it could “count” as a required capstonecourse in the BS-degree curricula was helpful. However, this resulted in attracting fewerstudents outside the capstone major(s), in contrast to the year-long EDW course the first year.However, since all of the EDW students in year 1 were already interested in the developingworld as evidenced by their EWB-CU participation, fitting the EDW project into the typicalcapstone course allowed a broader range of students to experience this type of project. Also, notall students are interested in participating

This program, the “No Walls” program,offered students a multi-disciplinary experience as a substitute for their discipline’scapstone course(s). No Walls project teams were composed of students from at least twodifferent programs in the college, including computer science. During the 2005-2006academic year, a group of faculty, led by the second author, conducted a study of how tomove forward with multi-disciplinary education in the college. The result of that study isthat we will be requiring

It can be adapted to use renewable energy or marginal heat sources. This invention is also well suited for the First World. If current trends remain, the UnitedStates alone will require 15 trillion more gallons of fresh water per year by 2020. Furthermore,one half of total U.

Some times thestudents are asked to show only the methodology and steps for solving the problem. Theywere then asked to complete the solution as group homework. Some times the data in thesame problems is changed for each group (for example the magnitude of a load or theangle of application of a load), so that their results can be plotted on the board as trendlines. Those who get wrong answers fall out of bounds of the trend line(s) and theyimmediately realize their mistakes.
