The Bill Of Materials (BOM) and the Lead-time for each part can befound in the “BOM” record. Once the part has been received, all parts go through a Raw Materials Inspection(RMI) process where all parts are inspected visually and functionally.

Engineering serves as a junior-level foundational course inthe civil engineering undergraduate curriculum at the university. The course provides anintroduction to the field of transportation engineering and is organized into a sequence of threegeneral content modules, which include: (1) transportation planning; (2) traffic operations andlevel-of-service; and (3) highway design. It serves as a pre-requisite for all other undergraduate-and graduate-level transportation engineering courses at the university, in addition to preparingstudents for relevant content on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles andPractice of Engineering (PE) exams.Historically, this class has been taught in a traditional, lecture-style format. Given its

No statistically significantdifference could be detected between students that used WeBWorK and those that did not.Work is currently underway to integrate the study of the effectiveness of WeBWorK into thenormal activities of the course. The type of examination being given in the Statics andMechanics of Materials course lends itself particularly well to mapping homework sets toexamination questions. Groups of students can be restricted from using a WeBWorK set (andgiven paper assignments instead), then their performance on the corresponding examinationquestion can be compared to those using WeBWorK.

For the incoming freshman, these issues may occur at two distinct levels. First,there may be uncertainty as to whether or not civil engineering is simply the right branchof engineering, as opposed to, for example, mechanical or construction engineering.Second, if the student is settled on civil engineering, developing a plan that streamlinestheir coursework to target one of the many sub-disciplines within civil engineering whichinclude

The final step in the design process is communicatingthe results in a manner that enables implementation through manufacturing, construction,or some other means. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meetdesired needs. It is a decision-making process, often iterative, in which the basicsciences, mathematics and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resourcesoptimally to meet these stated needs.

architectural technology varies from the perfunctory to the pervasive. Nevertheless, it’s fair to suggest that each school of architecture in North America is defined by its choice among the variables of teaching architectural technology.”1This observation suggests that the issue of technology teaching for architecture students is notgiven significant weight in academic discourse. Further weight is leant to this argument by Cary’sreflection in a 2003 Design Intelligence article about that publication’s planned Skills Assessmentsurvey. He notes the relative paucity of longitudinal studies of architecture students’ professionalpreparedness. “If these were unprecedented findings or if individual schools, firms or our national

In other words, what is the set of keyoutcomes one would like for their students to have possessed at the end of the learningexperience or even years after they have exited the learning process? For example, in theintroductory circuit course used for study three it was evident that students were expected tohave developed a certain level of engineering problem solving skills that could be translated toother complex learning experiences. The emphasis on working problems in the class or the use oflearning activities meant to provide more class time for working problems were also reflected instudies two

affective components of student engagement (Dixson, 2015) Online Course Management Systems One of the negative effects which was detected in online learning environments is thatoften new generation of learners can behave as “butterflies fluttering across the information on thescreen, touching or not touching pieces of information (i.e., hyperlinks), quickly fluttering to anext piece of information, unconscious to its value and without a plan” (Kirschner & vanMerriënboer, 2013).

;0.01Discussion and ConclusionThe implementation of the model was very successful overall. One important lesson however isthat we need to increase the flexibility in the syllabus so that students can repeat laboratoryexperiments when needed. This, of course, is not unlike what happens in authentic researchlaboratories. We also did not fully take into account the increase in laboratory prep time andstaffing needed in the original budget model. We plan to increase the number of researchstreams in Biology and Chemistry in future years.One important consideration in interpreting the results is that students apply, i.e., self-select, intothe research sections. A bias is formed when students self-select a group. This bias can be seenwhen the pre factors were

Regardless, students also suggested integrating teams withbroader experiences and perspectives (e.g. electrical engineering) for a more comprehensivescope of the final design. Students agreed that their greatest learning point was to plan better (e.g. spend more timeunderstanding the problem and how to approach the problem) by learning from others first.They identified that a good
