As the author’s institution was going throughthe process of revising and updating its policies for independent student use of the machineshops, the author sought input from other educators around the country regarding the proceduresthey followed. Input was sought though the ETD-L email discussion list. Particular focus wasplaced on situations beyond supervised classroom settings, for example when students areworking on non-classroom projects. An email was sent to the list asking the following questions:  Q1: Do you allow students to use machines independently?  Q2: What training is required before such use?  Q3: How is the training verified?  Q4: What

The specific challenge was the need for graduate students from various engi-neering disciplines to develop, in only a single course, a practical working knowledge of opticalengineering to support their research efforts. That is, many research projects were relying on digi-tal cameras and other imaging systems to obtain critical data, yet the students had no backgroundin optical engineering. Therefore, the ability to design an appropriate imaging setup, or to knowwhat limitations should be taken into account when interpreting image data from existing setups,was completely lacking

Research has shown that conceptual understanding plays a critical rolein students’ problem-solving performance. Assessing conceptual understanding is important inorder to design the most appropriate pedagogy to improve students’ problem-solvingperformance. The conventional way to assess conceptual understanding is to conduct assessmenttests (such as the Concept Inventory Test) and/or interviews. In the present study, whichinvolves student learning in a foundational engineering dynamics course, conceptualunderstanding was assessed through student-generated concept maps.
