orgrandchildren of immigrants, particularly those who grew up speaking the language of theirparents/grandparents may be surprised when they don’t fit in as smoothly and as comfortably asthey had anticipated when studying abroad in the country of their parents/grandparents. Evenstudents who grew up in diverse environments may be confronted by attitudes and beliefs thatthey are not familiar with and do not agree with. Students will not necessarily like every newconcept that presents itself, but they should be aware that there will be differences. In manycases , they will be pleasantly surprised to learn how things are done in other countries.Self-reflection and a good understanding of one’s self along with knowledge of foreign cultureswill allow students

three MIT courses, Unified Engineering, Thermal Energy, and Aerodynamics, we usea peer instruction approach similar to that developed for physics by Mazur. 41 In thisapproach, concept questions are given to students in class with time for individual thoughtand reflection. After a check to see how well students have understood the question,small group discussions are held (if needed) in which student groups attempt to answer thequestion. Afterward, the instructor clarifies misconceptions and leads students in furtherexploration of the concept. In the three courses discussed above, we measured classresponse through various techniques, including hand raising, flash cards, and, mostrecently, PRS, a personal response system.

The action changes the title of policy statement 465 from ‘First Professional Degree’ to ‘Academic Prerequisites for Licensure and Professional Practice.’ The previous committee said this title more accurately reflects the intent of the policy. The question is not what should be the first professional degree, the committee said in its report to the board, but instead what should be the educational prerequisite for the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.’ New language defines ‘professional level’ as the ‘practice of engineering as a licensed professional

Session 1615 “Powerful Play: Using Toys as Tools in Engineering Education”AbstractAs engineering education has changed to reflect less of a traditional teacher-centered classroomand more of a learner-centered environment, new instructional methodologies have also evolved.Many of these curricular modifications look startlingly different from traditional engineeringeducation at first glance; however, a closer look reveals that some curricular modifications areable to glean the substance of the traditional lecture, mix it up with some learner-based,collaborative, hands-on activities, and integrate the new mandates for technical communicationand

theseconcerns would be to call groups of 2 to 4 students up at once, and allow them to discuss outloud the possible answer to the question. This would allow more students to be “contestants”throughout the semester, and would lend support to less confident students through the presenceof “teammates”.V. EvaluationAn e-mail survey was conducted after the second offering of the game in “Statics and Mechanicsof Materials,” after the semester had ended and the students had received their grade. This wasdone to allow the students to reflect on the entire course experience and outcomes in theirresponses. The response rate of the surveys was approximately 50%.

IDEO, in particular, has a number ofcorporate mottos that reflect the importance of building and testing early in the process, and wehave adopted those as themes of our course:• Just build it• Test early and test often• Fail often to succeed fasterTo help students develop models and prototypes, we give them instruction in building withfoamcore, using a tutorial—Fabulous Foamcore—that IDEO developed for the company’s in-house training. Students also work through an exercise designed by IDEO, prototyping a boxusing foamcore, X-Acto style knives, and hot glue guns. The effect of the workshop is to helpstudents realize that they can easily make mock-ups throughout the design process to visualizeand test design ideas. A high percentage of

Two studentpopulations were surveyed: first-year students who had just learned to draw rigid body FBDs,and third-year students in their first dynamics course. Students were asked to draw FBDs forproblems with accompanying figures at different levels of abstraction, and the FBDs wereanalyzed for errors.MethodsThree problems were selected for inclusion in this study; students were asked to draw an FBDfor the box of a dump truck, a lawn mower on a slope, and

online modules are the same as those used for lecture videos. Thefirst step in creating a module is to create problem statements and feedback scenarios based onthe course materials. The problem statements and feedback scenarios are well-defined problemsthat the students solve that reflect the material being taught in the class. The reason there aremultiple scenarios is because Lectora has function that will generate random scenarios. This iseffective for the online modules because each student will have a different scenario of a givenproblem. The tools used for this step can be very basic.
