For this reason the TFs wereassigned to engage in one or more sessions of the outreach programs offered to the middle andhigh school students in the local community.Obj 3: Emphasize best practice teaching techniquesParticipation in the outreach programs began with instruction and mentoring by a facultymember who has been active in these programs for many years. A half-day session was devotedto discussion of content preparation and a demonstration of a typical program activity. The TFsrole-played the students they would be teaching when they supervise a session during theoutreach program to which they were assigned.Each TF met with a Faculty mentor(s) to become familiar with two or three hands-on STEMprojects that would be their

Swithenbank, S. B., and DeNucci, T. W.AbstractA flipped classroom approach was applied to a select number of topics in a sophomore levelundergraduate Newtonian dynamics course. Although the theory and benefits of the flippedclassroom model are discussed, the primary focus of this paper is to present the approach and thepractical implementation of using this model. Advantages, such as student retention and reducedfaculty tutoring, are discussed, as well as disadvantages, such as the investment of time neededfor making the videos and the amount of time needed to learn the software. Lastly, best practicesand lessons from the experience are shared.Background and TheoryIn recent years the concept of the flipped classroom has gained popularity and has been

STEP alsohelped her realize that “you don’t particularly have to be intelligent or less intelligent tounderstand concepts. You’re just going to have to try harder.” With regards to interest andenjoying engineering, she believed she would better enjoy engineering since she now had“experience in these classes” and would be more comfortable since she “understand[s] theamount of work” required. With regards to caring, STEP convinced Ashley that the college caresabout her academically and personally. Specifically, the center director led her to believe that “Ifyou’re willing to help

The weather station provides data year-round and can be stored onthe staff’s computer to be emailed to The Ohio State University or other service teams for futuredevelopment of wind energy. If a 1 kW wind turbine can be successfully constructed andconnected to the electric grid and the average wind speed can reach 5 m/s, this type of turbinecould produce around 1,000 kWh annually. This would equate to $280 in yearly savings, andpossibly allow MdL to have access to some power even when the main power is down. Multiplewind turbines could greatly increase these savings, provided that the first prototype is successful.Future teams can use recorded data to find accurate savings

BackgroundStatics is considered by many to be a foundational class, full of threshold concepts that aredifficult for students to grasp (perhaps partly because students often have to unlearn their oldconcepts). It has been stated that “Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that masteryof this area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something”1. Some educators, such as Steif and Dollar, are concerned that evenamong those who successfully pass the class there are those with poor conceptualunderstanding2.
