A summative examination is given to teams over their block diagrams;this is discussed in detail later in the manuscript.After the teams create a block diagram of their project, individual students research how toimplement the function of the block(s) assigned to them. This research phase asks students toexplore alternative implementations as well as model their circuits using electronic CADsoftware; This stage represents the research and modeling phases of the design cycle shown inFigure 1. A short, circa two page, written report is submitted by students when they meetindividually with TA’s at the completion of the research phase.

THE PHYSICS FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM COURSE AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY The writing strategy to be described is used within an introductory level physics course fornon-science majors at American University. The course is entitled Physics for a NewMillennium (PNM) and is a second-tier course in the Natural Sciences portion of the GeneralEducation core. Prior to enrolling in PNM, students have typically taken the first-levelfoundation course in physics. In addition, American University offers a unique
Proceedings During this period, several formats for pre-freshman summer orientation were utilized and severalsuggestions for developing a group identity were followed. At one point a “Support Program for BlackFreshman in Tech” was instituted in conjunction with a black engineering faculty member and five blackgraduate students. The intent was to provide a “big brother/big sister” arrangement and focused tutoring. Taking 1970 as the reference year, the subsequent growth and a later downward trend of minorityenrollments are shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1. The first half of the decade of the 70’s saw the freshman enrollment rise to 69 or 6.4% of the classand the number of graduates four years later to 50 or 5.4% of the class. The overall

Such a newunderstanding represented through our new metaphor is technical and professionalcommunication as performance.Communication as PerformanceTechnical and professional communication as performance is a kind of display11. Certainly, it isa display of competence – communicative competence, of course, but also competence in thesubject or topic of the performance. Second, it is a display of one’s awareness of oneself asdisplaying that competence(s). And third, it is a display of one’s understanding of a specificprofessional community, indeed one’s appreciation of like displays

, ismore advantageous than traditional lecturing in improving student performance across the STEMfields and across all class sizes. This aligns well with the need in the engineering mechanicsclasses to engage student in qualitative judgement activities for active learning.Several studies have been conducted on demonstrations for engineering courses. Vander Schaafand Klosky [12], Welch and Klosky [13] presented demonstrations for solid mechanics to linktheory to the students’ natural knowledge and excite interest in the course. Paul. S. Steif andAnna Dollár [14, 15, 16] developed demonstrations on statics along with concept questions thatinvolved students applying forces with their hands or body to make force and moment conceptsmore perceivable in
work from the periphery to moreactive core participation. Student participation can also be viewed as a form of cognitiveapprenticeship [9] and fits easily with notions of active learning, and problem-based learning[19]. For HFOSS, the community can help provide a support system of experts with a variety ofbackgrounds [28]. In addition, [34] concludes that such collaboration can help reduce theimpact of gender stereotype. 2.1.2 HFOSS in Education. Open source software has been used as a basis for studentsoftware engineering learning since the late 1990’s [31]. A common approach is to utilize aFOSS project as the basis for a capstone project [3, 10]. One obvious way for students toparticipate in a FOSS project is via code contributions

leadership,these studies find that students neither overemphasize nor underemphasize the importance ofleadership as compared to other professional skills and that they rate their competence inleadership skills lower than they do the value of those skills. For instance, in Direito et al.’s study(2012) of Portuguese electrical and electronic engineering students, the participants assignedlower levels of importance to leadership itself than to such leadership-related skills as teamwork,communication, listening, networking, and time management. Their confidence in theirleadership ability was lower than the importance they ascribed to it.
