This summary included tasks completed, time spent on tasks,surfacing issues and troubleshooting, and intended plans for the succeeding week. The secondmethod for progress evaluation incorporated a more neatly formatted compilation of teammembers’ progress through “bi-weekly reports.” Bi-weekly reports were used to examine overallteam progress in relation to the Gantt chart as opposed to just individual efforts. The third methodfollowed progress overviewed in bi-weekly reports in the form of formal progress presentations.This allowed the student teams to present overall progress of their products, discuss any issuesoccurring, and

The authors plan to assess theeffectiveness of the learning tools in the near future, through a direct measurement of GD&Tknowledge acquisition and retention, in addition to self-reported satisfaction and self-efficacydata collection from the students. These data will be compared with a control group of a similarpopulation taught GD&T in a more traditional manner, such as through diagrammatic lecture-based delivery.References[1] S. A.

understanding of student experiences in these classes will provideguidance on creating and sustaining a welcoming environment for all students.Overall, the differences in perceived abilities and learning environment between women and menwere not as large as we had feared at the beginning of this study. This may indicate that ourefforts to combat implicit bias were partially successful, although since we do not havepre-implicit bias activity data, we cannot be certain. While there is definite room for improvementin our classes, it is encouraging to note that the women’s responses are somewhat similar to themen’s responses.Going forward, we plan to: • Continue to administer the surveys and use results to guide future course development and other

difficultto creatively apply to practical engineering problems. Felder and Brent confirm this intuitionwith several studies that show students need repetitive practice with consistent feedback todevelop new skills (1). Simply showing students how to solve a particular problem doesn’tguarantee they can apply these concepts on their own. With these ideas in mind, the lab morphedfrom a traditional recitation to weekly programming challenges solved in a group setting. Thelaboratory and lecture now focus on the C++ and MATLAB languages with plans to alsoincorporate Python in future semesters. This paper details the changes to the laboratory portion of the course to use problem-based learning (PBL) and just-in-time teaching (JiTT) in a collaborative

University, this is a two credit class, taught at the 400 level, and taken primarily byseniors at the same time as senior design. For their senior projects, students are required toestimate costs, and plan and track progress, so there are some connections. It has been veryhelpful to enrich the course through short assigned readings, in class topics and a research paper.The goal is to give students a broader perspective on economic activity and the business side ofengineering. These assignments and lectures address the non-quantitative side of practicingengineering and business that is quite real, and can easily overshadow the quantitative variablestreated in most textbooks.ReadingsThe readings are taken from business and investing publications

learning challenge might also be caused by students’ bad habits in solving dynamics problems.For example, students may start to write equations without specifying a coordinate system andidentifying the givens and finds carefully. Students usually take these habits as trivial carelessness,but it is these bad habits that prevent students from developing solid problem solving skills forlearning dynamics. For this reason, we need to develop a training plan to help them build goodhabits not only for learning dynamics but also for general problem solving.In this paper, a unified approach is proposed to serve as one stone aiming for two birds: avoidcognitive overload and help students develop certain good habits for problem solving.
