The meta-analysis of225 studies on active-learning by Freeman, et al [1] found students in STEM courses taught withextensive lecturing are 1.5 times more likely to fail, earn a D, or withdraw from the course thanstudents taught with active-learning methods in the same STEM course subject.

The MATLAB® modeling and simulation components of the engineering statics ELMreduces the time that students usually dedicate to computation. When students solve problemsthat have several equations and unknowns, they often commit manual errors.

Much deliberation was put into what type of collector to use. The Architecturestudents were looking for a technology that was both aesthetically pleasing and resistantto the corrosive saltwater environment of the Elizabeth River. As engineering students,we were looking for an efficient system that could provide the requisite heat to the poorlyinsulated classroom space (three walls of floor to ceiling single-paned hurricane glasswith an R-value of one).

engineering ethics is reinforced by theway that micro-ethics are taught to engineers. For example the Fundamentals of EngineeringExam offers multiple choice ethics questions suggesting that ethics problems can be solved in ananalytical fashion like other engineering problems. This worldview is problematic for learningmacro-ethics where there is often no single, precise “right answer” and where the power todecide what is right or wrong lies in the broader society. This worldview left unchallengedlargely precludes critical thought and reflective judgment regarding macro-ethics because itshores up the paradigm that “technology is neutral” and this leads inexperienced engineers tobelieve that engineering principles can be applied in abstraction and

(2) There is value in teaching ethics to the students. (3) The authors plan to extend this strategy to two other courses over the next three years. The method presented in this study may be used at other institutions with appropriate modifications in order to prepare the students for the ethical dilemmas they will encounter when they enter engineering practice.Bibliography1.
