Thiscourse meets twice a week for 75 minutes and has 29 meetings over the 15 week semester. Oneclass period is spent on the midterm exam and another 2 hour time period beyond the 15 weeksemester is spent on the final exam. The course covers content regarding the analysis and designof tension members, compression members, beams, beam-columns, and connections in steelstructures. Students in both sections engage in an open-ended service learning project, completenine in-class conceptual quizzes, are provided with suggested homework problem sets andsolutions (not graded), and have access to examples with solutions

in STEM fields. 1,2,3 . Under the umbrella of active learning,however, a large variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) methodologies have beenproposed; including project-based learning, problem-based learning, gamification, tinkering,collaborative learning, class competitions, and many others. As educators become more interestedin student-centered pedagogies, the question of which specific techniques are most effective isincreasingly important.Because active learning is still an emerging paradigm, the number of studies examining distinctapproaches is somewhat limited, and the difficulty of isolating those techniques in the classroomenvironment is a recognized concern. 1 In this paper, we wish to contribute to the growing pool

This paper is written tomotivate and inspire engineering students in taking up projects in this particular domain. Thisdomain of study is at the research level in many universities and thus there is very limited scopefor teaching in class. However, as the topic is booming in the market there is always a scope fordoing wide range of study or projects in this domain. We would like to share our survey on thisdomain as it may be a guide or motivation for many engineering students.

The example data tables included inAppendix A were created for the project using realistic numbers, but were not derived from actualcomponents. In fact, we permit a number of simplifying assumptions to facilitate the process (likeindependence of efficiency on shaft speed, flow, etc. . . ). For instructors who are so inclined, thiscan afford a good opportunity for a discussion about how the students might “go the next step” tomodel real components.At the end of their work

A frequent use of peer assessment is for design projects [9],including user-interface design [9]. In group projects, peer assessment is often used torate contributions of team members to the artifacts produced by the team [11].The main objective of peer feedback is to provide specific and timely feedback to authorson how to improve their work. Unfortunately, most students, left to their own devices,provide a paucity of feedback that is not focused on helping the student author to improve.Most instructors have limited experience in teaching students how to review.

For example, an instructor might adoptclickers but ask superficial questions (e.g., where answers reflect varying numerical calculationsrather than underlying conceptual models) and find that student outcomes do not improve as theyhad hoped. Schein’s depiction of organizational culture differentiates surface-level features fromdeeper values and assumptions [3]. In the example above, the clicker was a surface-level artifactthat the instructor tried to duplicate, but the underlying curricular culture was missing.Thus, major changes to curriculum, such as the adoption of project-based learning or movingfrom lecture to studio formats, often involve cultural shifts.
