Through each iteration, both the curriculum and the environmentwere changed on the basis of the formative test results as we attempted to align the curriculumwith the realities of the classroom constraints. The successive curriculum redesigns were basedon multiple sources of data and feedback: task analysis and research on science content learning,alpha testing of the activities in the laboratory (without students), curriculum design with ourteachers during professional development workshops, and pilot testing curriculum in authenticcontexts (i.e., with our partner

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to

The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

While many admit thatparents rarely ask about accreditation, engineering accreditation is generally viewed as necessaryat all state institutions, and this regardless of rank. Minimum standards also serve a purpose atlower ranked institutions, since they often need to work to meet ABET’s requirements. In thiscontext, a shortcoming—ideally a concern, or at most an initial report of a weakness that can beaddressed before the final decision—can be instrumental for deans and department heads togarnering resources, such as faculty lines and better laboratory facilities, needed to

As such, they not only influence student learning, but theycan also be agents of change and improve student retention [1]. Therefore, the training of studentinstructors is critical to enhancing the student experience as well as the classroom climate.Additionally, meaningful assessment of student instructor professional development is criticalfor ensuring quality of such training.To support their key role in the teaching-learning environment, the College of Engineering (CoE)at the University of Michigan requires training of
