Incorporating Non-Traditional Teaching Techniques in a Technical Core Course James P. Solti, James M. Greer, Jr. and James L. Greer Department of Engineering Mechanics United States Air Force AcademyIntroductionThis paper describes motivating the implementation of non-traditional teachingtechniques, such as problem-based and cooperative learning, in a technical core course atthe U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA). All students at USAFA are required to take acertain common “core” of courses. Among these courses is an Engineering Mechanicscourse covering the fundamentals of Statics and Strength of Materials (EM 200). Manyof the approximately 600 students who take the

STEM FacultyAbstractChanging teaching strategies in engineering education to become more interactive is important,though difficult. Intentional design of faculty development to engage faculty to make small,incremental changes within the context of a supportive, like-minded community, is important. Inthis paper, we merged two different methods to examine the PIs design decisions, and evaluatethe program’s implementation and outcomes. For the first method, the grant evaluator appliedconjecture mapping,1 a design-based research method, to examine the design and theoreticalconjectures, the mediating processes, and outcomes of implementation of a faculty developmentproject. The high level conjecture was that faculty who participate in a supportive

Even though there are many parallels in thinkingamong engineers and mathematicians, and despite the fact that engineering disciplines employmathematical knowledge and methodologies all the time, Moore’s method unfortunately neverreally found its way into Engineering.But how does this method work? Professor Moore summarized his method in these words: “Thatstudent is taught the best who is told the least.” The method is a “commitment to teaching byletting students discover the power their own minds have.”3 In a "classical lecture", we depriveour students of the chance to advance in any other field outside of mere "knowledge in
