This assignment required students to design their own staticsresearch question, solve the problem using topics covered in Introduction to Solid Mechanics,and complete a written summary. This written summary contains an abstract, free bodydiagrams, final calculations, and a poster presentation. The purpose of the project is to givestudents experience in designing their own problem and solving it, writing a professionaltechnical paper, and class presentation.The questions that this research seeks to answer are: 1.

Currently the SolidWork and Autodesk Inventor software areused. (2) The practical training of measuring and modeling actual parts. (3) The analyzing andre-designing of an actual product to further reinforces the concepts and principles learned inrelated engineering design courses.

When student verbalfeedback during a lesson is minimal, due to either lesson presentation method or student personalcommunication preference, the teacher must rely on nonverbal cues to determine the effect of Page 26.76.2their communication[1]. From Barry et al.[2], nonverbal communication generally falls within oneof ten categories:1. Chronemics – The timing of verbalizations and

Engaging Freshmen Women in Research – Feedback from Students and Best Practices for FacultyIntroductionIncreasing the participation of diverse populations in engineering and technology fields is achallenge for many universities. A significant means to address this issue is to increase theparticipation of women students. However, this can prove to be challenging. In a studyconducted by Marra and Bogue,1 it was found that although women engineering students enterthe university with high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, those levels decline quicklyduring the first year. They also found through their research, that the initial levels were neverregained. One method to help retain diversity in engineering and technology

Authors have noted that utilization of peer reviews has offered students new learningopportunities. Such learning opportunities include increased responsibility, higher studentengagement and motivation, and increased problem-solving abilities.1-2 While peer reviewfeedback has been long emphasized and assigned by instructors, it is often only at the end of aterm or course of a project/term/course. This “Ex Post” feedback only provides students withadvice and feedback for how to perform on future teams, but does not provide a mechanism foraccountability on behavioral changes in their current team setting.

(1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty member, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any other typeof practical experience.

studentperception and the team’s performance.1. Introduction and Literature ReviewCommunication is an important component of education for any discipline, but it is vital toengineering. In the past, engineers’ lack of communication amongst themselves, as well as withcolleagues from different fields, has resulted in devastating outcomes, such as the crash of theMars Climate Orbiter (MCO) in 1999. A lack of communication between the engineers workingfor Lockheed Martin Astronautics (LMA) and those in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratoryresulted in English units, rather than NASA’s standard metric units, being utilized in softwarethat was used to calculate trajectory models. Furthermore, the absence of communicationbetween NASA engineers working for different

Physical concepts are used tostudy the physical phenomena represented by models. Models that go through iterative cycles ofconjecturing, testing and revising, until they satisfy constrains and provide a feasible explanationof the phenomenon under certain assumptions. In each iterative cycle, knowledge increases and abetter understanding of the phenomenon is attained, and the models become more robust andconnect more concepts. Models and modeling perspective

method of GBL that has come to the forefront recently is gamification, or the application ofgame elements to a non-game context11.

The game elements also give participants additional ways toengage with a certain activity, either through the aesthetic of the game elements or through newproblems to solve.

Over a decade ago, Felder et al.5 explained that the gap between the current state ofknowledge and the practice results are due to the perception and reality that good teaching is notvalued in terms of career advancement. The authors made a compelling case for the need to cre-ate a positive campus climate for good teaching. Further research has shown that many facultywho attempt to implement research-based instructional practices (RBIS) stop using them whenthey encounter challenges or barriers.2 These include lack of class time, lack of instructor time,lack of rewards or recognition
