One Week – Bucknell Fabrication Workshop (B-Fab)IntroductionWithin the past decade or more, the increased technological capacity of incoming students –accompanied by a diminished skill-set with regard to traditional hands-on, “tinkering” skills hasbeen discussed in both STEM education as well as mainstream media [1, 2]. Many studentschoose engineering because they want to learn how to design and build the solutions oftomorrow, yet they often do not have dedicated opportunities to expand their hands-on skill setwithin the engineering curriculum. Sadly, traditional curricular instruction in engineering is suchthat students spend the bulk of their first three years learning theory, and relatively little timecontextualizing

Model of Domain Learning(MDL) to better suit their specific courses. Students can then use the web interface to evaluateboth themselves and fellow team members. After students complete their evaluations, instructorsare able to view the results through the system’s reports and can formulate an individual gradefor each student. More importantly, instructors also have the ability to send the students feedbackand automatically include anonymous reviews from other team members. The reports show theinstructor where the students’ skills may be lacking. The preliminary results from a pilot studyare discussed.Spring 2015 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova UniversityI.

, interactive exercises, and images.In this paper, we consider two types of interactive material: animations and practicequestions. An animation illustrates a concept with moving objects. Typically, ananimation replaces the pictures in a textbook with multiple moving substeps. Animationscan convey many concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM). However, animation creation is time intensive, typically 1-2 hours each. Weinvestigate whether students can make good-quality animations.A practice question provides quick feedback to a student on whether the studentunderstands a concept, and may also teach new concepts. Students have shown apreference to practice questions over reading[8].First, we investigate whether students can

A country onceknown for being at the vanguard of technology and industry, such as during the World War IIera or in the space race, is now being beaten. The implications are tremendous: a weak educationduring the early stages of development will only lead to a weaker professional labor force later.In fact, a study by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology states that“economic forecasts point to a need for producing, over the next decade, approximately 1million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current

Blendedlearning as a term emerged in 19993 and refers to the blending of "text-based asynchronousInternet technology with face-to-face learning,"4 where the primary role of ICT is tocomplement student learning as opposed to replace face-to-face time.5 One form of blendedlearning that is becoming increasingly common in tertiary science and engineering educationis the combined use of Flipped Classroom (FC) and Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT).
