. Students might resent us for having them do more work and that is alrightbecause it will take time for them to develop the skill and it is hard to see its benefits right away.Along the way some encouragement helps keep students motivated. Collaboration betweeninstructors is also important for consistency and permanency of the skill, so it is favorable if thestudents are using similar layouts throughout their program. The author is planing to collect follow-up feedback form the same students before theygraduate. Starting this new academic year, the author is also using the Force Concept Inventory9to assess students’ learning more quantitatively.1. S. Bonham, R. Beichner, and D.

Each of the six tables features a ‘go / no-go’ block that is red on one side andgreen on the other, with green indicating that all students at that table have completed the task(s)and are ready to move on. These blocks allow the instructor and any students who havecompleted the task to easily identify students who may need assistance.To accommodate this type of instructional arrangement, classes meet for longer periods of time(equal to the combined total of lecture plus lab hours allotted per week when those are taught asseparate classes in different rooms on different days and usually taught by different people).These longer class periods are assembled to align with university

Engineers are hired to create value for their employer, and if a studentonly knows how to follow a syllabus, then they will not be prepared to anticipate unknownopportunities to create value. Learning core engineering skills is the single most important part ofan engineering education, and by teaching an entrepreneurial mindset through programs thatreinforce these skills, we are better preparing the innovators of tomorrow.ReferencesBarrett, T.

After Foundation Engineering was over, and the final course grade was out, a“questionnaire” was sent to those who enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least.
