Jolene: “My dad and I are planning on going to Ethiopia and building a biogas digester in one of their hope centers, which is like a hope for society, which is this big community and they have a school and an orphanage and things like that and model housing for children.”In some cases these service activities were related to environmental activities such as buildingtrails, cleaning up a school, or leading an outdoor exploration camp.

computation by engineering students hasbeen the continuing challenge. We report on our experiences, lessons learned, and plans for thefuture as we revise the course.Course objectivesUse of computation is indisputably part of every engineer's foundational training. However,there does not appear to be a consensus on the extent of such training, or its outcomes. Trainingfor professional software developers (as evidenced by what it would take to be seriouslyconsidered for a professional software development position nowadays) would seem to includethe equivalent of at least several terms of courses to achieve a working knowledge of softwaredevelopment: programming in two or more languages, data structures, performance analysis,software design, and basic

think about the feelings of a family who is facingdifficulties as food cannot be prepared, children cannot complete their home-work, and theycannot afford a power generator. The compassionate design metric is designed to help theengineer address this kind of situation.After a more formalized approach for compassionate design has been developed, it is planned toincorporate it into design courses. Teaching compassionate design thinking to novice engineerswill help to provide specific ways of thinking while performing engineering design tasks, thusenhancing their knowledge foundation and the ability to critically think through open-endedproblems. Once elements of compassionate design have been made an integral part of

Virtual Education Environment Computer-aided instruction (CAI) systems [5] were introduced as early as 1960's as a meansof assisting students outside the classroom. The first CAI programs were either computerizedversions of textbooks, or drill and practice monitors [6] that presented a student with problems andcompared the student’s responses to the pre-scored answers, and if necessary, provided the student withcanned remedial responses. Improvements were continuously made until computer-aidedinstruction systems evolved into intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) [7, 8

-making is very complex and manytimes not logical; so it is difficult to explain exactly why a person behaves as he/she does. Eventhough the process of decision-making is complicated, there is a model developed by Dhalstrandand Biel that describes a systematic process to changing poor environmental habits into pro-environmental habits6. They propose a series of sub-steps in behavior change so that a personwith a strongly established habit which is detrimental to the environment may develop a newhabit that is more beneficial to the environment. The steps include activation, attending presentbehavior, considering alternative solutions, planning new behavior, testing new behavior, andestablishing new behavior.

One of the big concerns with this second approach is that thebroad, general problems in the future might not be addressed in how we live today.However, Groves makes the argument though that if we are really planning for the futurewith the things individual people really care about, then we will be forced to consider thethings that affect these personal interests. Then, this will eventually lead to addressingthe big issues, but almost with more of a passion than the indifferent approach becausewe are then aware of the impact that the broad future issue might have on the presentsmaller issue we care about.” [Student 3, Weekly Paper 2013]Majority of the students struggled with this philosophical paper.

user can solve equations of equilibrium using a built-in calculating facility. If the userhas written down an equation with one variable (always a linear equation in truss analysis), uponrequest the tutor can solve the equation for that variable. This eliminates the need to use acalculator. The user can substitute such a solved variable into another equation that has morethan one variable. But the tutor does not permit the simultaneous solution of multiple equationsfor multiple variables. This restriction on the solving capability promotes the practice of seekingto find an equation with a single variable, which can be determined and then used in subsequentequations. Such a practice of planning and organizing one’s work is often wise when

. Page 24.455.11Method 3The use of flowcharts in sequential programming has been a popular tool for many years.Method three was designed to bring in the flowchart concepts in order to aid the students beingstudied to better understand the code they were writing. The original plan was to go over a high-level flow chart of what the program was supposed to do as a group before they began coding.This worked for many of the students, though as the semester progressed, many of the studentswould begin working on the assignments, and even possibly complete them, prior to the start ofthe recitation. The method was adapted for these students to have each student, before they leftrecitation, sit down with the TA and go through his/her code. In doing so the

This paper presents anapproach for revising a traditional course on reinforced concrete design to include an emphasison sustainability in all topics. This course is being referred to hereafter as Sustainable ReinforcedConcrete Design (SRCD) course.The major drawback of concrete is its environmental impact occurring along four phases:production of materials, construction, lifecycle, and demolition. The common critical elementbetween these phases is the polluting emissions resulting from embodied energy or chemicalreactions. The SRCD course will integrate sustainability into the planning, designing, andconstruction stages of reinforced concrete. It will emphasize strategies and

A video lecture muststate the facts as concisely as possible in the interest of time. A good video lecture includes theinstructor’s introspection and should be enthusiastic. However, there is only so much genuineenthusiasm that can be relayed in recorded format. Without interaction, student questions, andclassroom dialogue, it is difficult to inspire the uninterested to want to learn more; particularlywhen the material is not in their chosen field of study.
