Many engineering educators and industry partners emphasize the need for students toapply their knowledge to new and challenging problems.1 In order to do so, our students mustlearn with understanding.2 A lack of conceptual understanding has been shown to severelyrestrict students’ ability to solve new problems, since they do not have the functionalunderstanding to use their knowledge in new

There is another part of the game in which students/players cangain such practice.The tricky part of the challenge can be seen at the top and left side of Figure 1. As the craft isdescending, a roof is closing over the landing pad. Therefore, if the student slows down too soon,the roof crosses the spuCraft’s path and prevents it from reaching the landing pad. Conversely, ifthe student slows down too late, it will hit the landing pad with a lethal amount of speed.   Figure 1: Screenshot of the

After surveying the wide variety of service-learning options, from integration into existing courses to the creation of elective courses, thefaculty of GFU felt that the service-learning opportunity was important enough to create asequence of courses that would be required of all of the engineering students. This coursesequence is called Servant Engineering.Servant Engineering is a 4-semester sequence – 1 unit per semester beginning in the spring of thesophomore year, going through the junior year, and concluding with the fall of the senior

As a result, the authors have experienced severalissues with the involvement of RP in student projects. Some of these were minor problems, whilesome were catastrophic. These problems became important lessons for dealing with RP inpractice.The main objective of this paper is to discuss the lessons learned by the authors in hope that theexperiences will help educators use RP in a positive and enjoyable way. In this paper, a summaryof failures of using RP in student projects is provided, followed by a suggested guideline foravoiding the identified issues.

things work as proposed, andsometimes they never figure it out.Most researchers are familiar with the need to evaluate the end results of a completed project,which in the professional evaluation community is termed outcomes evaluation (or impactevaluation). While necessary for funded projects, outcomes evaluation is summative—at best itmight reveal what the researchers should have done, but it comes too late to change what theyactually did. A formative approach called utilization-focused evaluation helps project leadersmonitor and improve their project throughout its term.1 A particularly powerful utilization-focused technique is implementation evaluation (or process evaluation), in which a trainedevaluator is brought into a project from its

To do this, the faculty scheduled twoeight-hour retreats and a three-hour meeting over a two month period. The retreats were heldaway from the department. It should be also noted that the faculty agreed, up-front, to be open tochanges regardless of the impact on an individual’s area of expertise.The first retreat was held in May of 2011 and was primarily a brainstorming session (Figure 1) tocreate a straw man curriculum.

The academic challenge for engineering faculty is to carefullycraft a course, or a suite of courses, through which these concepts are introduced, practiced,measured and honed. One of the goals of Civil Engineering Fundamentals is to attempt toaddress that challenge through an organized and measurable approach.As noted in Figure 1, Fundamentals is structured around five modules, each of which has amajor written or oral report associated with it.
