true freshmen who enter with substantialadvanced placement (AP) or dual enrollment credit.Introduction Today, many people are opting to begin their engineering education at communitycollege and then transfer to a four-year institute. Escalation of college costs1-4 is the majormotivation driving this trend,5 but community colleges offer more than just a less expensive trekthrough the first two years. They often provide a smaller, more intimate campus, and a greaterflexibility in class scheduling, with more evening classes. They also offer an opportunity to pickup remedial math and science for those who decide to pursue engineering too late to prepare forthat path in high school.6 With a transfer in mind, taking fundamental freshman
AssistantsOne purpose of open-ended problem solving in engineering education is to emulate professionalpractice – provide students with authentic problem-solving experiences. Engagement in theseexperiences alone is not sufficient for meeting multiple learning objectives that may range fromdeveloping conceptual understandings to developing analytical skills to developing engineering“habits of mind”1. There must be supports for providing high impact instruction, feedback, andassessment that ensure learning along desired trajectories. These might include instructortraining, mentoring, and task specific support materials. How these supports are used byinstructors will depend on, among other things, their educational background, teachingexperience, and

Reflection on the Road: How Recent First Year Students Exhibit Reflection During a Short-Term Study Abroad ExperienceAbstractStudy abroad experiences augment college and university curricula and expose students to aninternational setting with lectures, tours, and cultural activities. These studies raise awareness ofprofessional, social and cultural differences among countries. Students recognize globalchallenges to the engineering profession when they discover that another country faces similartechnical, social, cultural and resource-limiting challenges. They also learn that solutions tosimilar challenges in the U.S. may, or may not, be suitable in another country. Reflection is oneway to for students to derive

Management in ClassTime management in class is a constant area of improvement for me. I tend to go into moredetail on topics that spark my interest. For this reason, I had to learn to prepare for class withtime management in mind. As the semester progressed, I became better at managing my time inthe classroom for reinforced concrete design, but this is still something I can continue toimprove. While teaching in the freshman engineering program, multiple sections were requiredto teach the same material. Therefore, I had to make sure I stayed on a schedule to finish whatwas required for that day. Often times, the instructors were supplied with a suggested timeallotment for each item on an agenda for that day. However, when I included

Unfortunately, it is still a rather time consuming process.My best estimate based on the work reported in this paper is that an experienced user can expectto spend at least an hour to produce a simple ten-second animation.But why use music? My experience is that a majority of the engineering and technology studentsrelate well to music. I choose familiar tunes that most students will recognize. I would like tothink that when they hear a particular tune in the future, their minds will connect with a technicalconcept. But pragmatically, I use this method because of my long experience with the BoyScouts
Session 2686 Employing Graduate Students at Two-year Colleges: A Missed Opportunity? Donald D. Carpenter University of Michigan/Jackson Community CollegeAbstractA good opportunity that is rarely exploited exists for both graduate students and two- yearcolleges. Supplemental faculty play an important role at many two-year colleges, yet for avariety of reasons, schools often have trouble finding enough people to meet their needs. Thisauthor feels that engineering graduate students can play a fundamental role in filling the void.Many graduate students have a strong
master one topic before moving to the next (Terenzini and Pascarella, 1994);(2) frequently place topics in context of the course framework and objectives, the students' Page 3.521.2background, and real engineering problems; and (3) receive and provide frequent feedback. It is 2also important to communicate high expectations and to stress the students' responsibility forlearning and the benefits of helping one another learn.Clearly it takes time to provide students the opportunity to achieve mastery. However thealternative leads to frustration and dissatisfaction. This is reflected by the fourth

ForwardThe introductory course at Texas Tech University provides leveling in basic engineeringmathematics because freshmen who enrolled in engineering have varying proficiency inmathematics among themselves. With that in mind, instructors should be wary about assumingstudents’ prior knowledge in mathematics because the latter may be learning the material for thefirst time.Given that many instructors provide short assessments in the form of quizzes to evaluatestudents’ understanding about a prior topic that was taught, quiz questions on mathematicsshould be designed to tease out misconceptions that students may have. By teasing out somecommon misconceptions, a deeper discussion can take place to explain and clarify students’fundamental errors. These
, and tools for integrating probabilistic forecasts with other data sets.Many other industries, groups, and individuals use weather information. For example, theconstruction industry uses weather information to schedule specific activities and to purchasematerials. K-12 teachers use weather data to develop math and engineering skills in theirstudents, which is essential for the future [4, 5, 6]. Following the classic Boyer Report, it is very important that no gap exists between teachingand research [7]. In addition, faculty members who creatively combine teaching with researchare essential to the improvement of undergraduate education [8, 9, 10, 11]. With this in mind,we now introduce the model that governs and sustains the teaching and

But I would probably be more thorough, in that I would initiatementoring activities that I felt more important, even if they were unrequested.Because my mentoring has been most extensive with older students, my existing “student-centered” approach is probably more appropriate. I have not seen many freshman engineeringstudents, outside of the Fundamentals of Engineering class that I occasionally teach, or the Page 5.308.3infrequent assigned advisee. But because freshmen typically require more direction in theclassroom, it’s only natural to assume that they would also require

Theseactivities were followed up by a discussion of creativity in engineering design. The instructor ofthe second section provided opportunities for small group and individual creative problemsolving throughout the semester. In both sections, students were encouraged to keep theprinciples of creativity in mind as they worked through their design projects.E101 Common Rubric AssignmentWhile some differences existed in the strategies employed in both sections the common rubricassignment was the same.
