themselves with editing, saving, compiling, and executing the codes.Since its initial inclusion in the aerospace design course in 1999, the most time-consuming aspectof the design-build-test panel project has been the computer programming. Lack of appreciableprogramming experience, particularly in Fortran, means students have to devote considerabletime to resolve common mistakes that cause compilation difficulty, and develop an ability todebug a code to identify and eliminate the source(s) of error. Through consultation with theinstructor and teamwork, students gradually overcome the hurdle and complete the analysis andoptimization programming, which is essential before they can proceed with the fabrication and

Together the college andLEA will 1) conduct a crosswalk between the college’s Introduction to Engineering Technologyor similar class and the EbD curriculum to identify topics missing from ADA and EngD; 2)identify writers and trainers for ADA and EngD to create missing material and to becomecertified ITEEA trainers to conduct PD for local teachers; 3) work with ITEEA to oversee thecreation and piloting of new materials (if required); 4) create an articulation agreement for theIntroduction to

receiving a STEM tool. Typically, a STEM field teacher in the school is the primary point of contact and specifies concepts that the STEM tool should convey. 2. With the initial request, desires, and STEM tool requirements provided by the K-12 school and teacher(s), the engineering design students develop initial concepts and visit the K-12 classroom. During the initial visit, the engineering students introduce themselves and present early design efforts. Additionally, a market survey is administered to the K-12 students and teacher(s), in order to involve them in the design process and specifics of the resulting STEM tool. Market survey questions range from “what color would you like the
. We are currently further testing ourhypothesis that gamification and two-way teaching should not simply be the addition of gamerules to course content but to replicate the intrinsic motivation that comes from playing a game.In the near future we plan to further improve our lesson plans to better fit the student’s interestsand background. We also recognize that the scenarios should reflect the current culture and beupdated continually.7. Bibliography1. Temple University General Education Program (2015), http://Gen-Ed.temple.edu2.

received feedback from the circulating instructors/TAs. The first semester ofa restructured course is a learning experience for the instructor(s), TA(s), and students; however,by staying open to feedback, improvements can be made along the way. Our final in-classactivity was certainly the smoothest of the semester, with fewer groups stuck without a way tomove forward in solving the problem, positive group dynamics, and appropriate timing.In our experience, feedback can come from the students, fellow instructors/TAs, outsideobservers, assessment results (e.g., exams), or personal reflection. Pre-, mid-, and post-surveysof the students (separate from course/instructor evaluations) can be useful in identifying theirexpectations, prior experiences
