[15].STS Postures does not rely on classical ethical theories. Rather, it’s a method for teachingundergraduates that we derived from experiences teaching undergraduates the interdisciplinaryfield of the same acronym, Science and Technology Studies (STS) [1] [2] [3]. Theories in thefield such as situated knowledges, epistemic humility, strong objectivity, interpretive flexibility,boundary metaphors, and actor network theory explicitly informed our definitions of eachindividual posture (See figure 1). We created three central categories – analytical approaches,data collection, and body/mind engagement that, when applied to classroom lesson plans, has theeffect of energizing students and professors.Figure 1.

instructed on the House of Quality and required to employthis tool in the early stages of product design. This method is a valuable aid in maintaining thevoice of the customer in product design and is also commonly applied in industry contexts.Student misunderstandings of how to implement the House of Quality manifest in challengesranging from errors defining customer and technical requirements to improperly populating thecorrelation matrix. These errors can affect the resulting prioritized technical requirements anddownstream design decisions. The House of Quality is also one phase of the Quality FunctionDeployment process that can span the design process from planning to detail design. The laterphases beyond the initial House of Quality are less

Instead of using a traditional problem like “Findthe effective stress at a given depth,” the instructor developed a real-world problem:“Preliminary construction plans specify 5 ft x 5 ft column footings, each supporting a 135-kipcolumn load (Figure 2). The bottom of the footing is 5 ft below the ground surface. StandardPenetration Tests were conducted, revealing three soil layers to a depth of 32 ft. The soil profile(Figure 2) includes 5 ft of loose sand, followed by sandy soil (unit weight = 113 pcf) from 5 to 9ft, clayey soil from 9 to 17 ft, and sandy soil (unit weight = 118 pcf) from 17 to 37 ft.

Statistical tests were conducted and results were documented on the power of simulation.Development of Finite Element AnalysisA computer program was developed by idealizing the flexible pavement into a finite element continuum.In this investigation a layered pavement system was idealized as an axisymmetric solid with finiteboundaries in both radial and axial directions, as shown in Fig 1. The axisymmetric body was thendivided into a set of ring elements, rectangular in section and connected along their nodal circles. Thefinite elements are actually complete rings in the circumferential direction, and the nodal points at whichthey are connected are circular lines in plan view. Because of axisymmetry, the three-dimensionalproblem reduces to a two

This open-ended exercise facilitated communication between the instructor and the students, encouraged team workamongst the students, and provided an opportunity for active learning and for emphasizing creativeproblem solving. Future plans call for the development of additional projects that can be incorporatedinto the Strength of Materials Course.

The students will come to lab prepared with a datasheet for their planned experimental trials; they will need to determine which water contents theywill utilize during their procedure. It will be recommended that the students perform four runs atthree different water contents and a dry run. During each experimental trial the students will collect product gas at different timeintervals. The gas will be collected in air sampling bags and be tested in the GC during start upof the next trial to be more time efficient. In each trial, the gasifier needs to reach steady statebefore gas is to be collected, so this would be a good time to

The student can be forgivenfor this; this focus has been part of the university's marketing plan since first contact with thestudent by advertising job placement rates, median mid-career salaries, and return on investmentmetrics. While the underlying motivation differs for precisely why learning the material isvaluable, at least the agreement remains.Then, it is incumbent on the instructor to assess the amount of learning that has occurred.Modern neuroscience tells us that learning is a change in the synaptic wiring of the brain.Connections are made or strengthened

Self-efficacy and expectancy-value theories havebeen linked student persistence, achievement, and future plans[3]. Among engineering students,computing skills are a strong influencer of confidence and self-efficacy [4]. Prior research withstudents learning to program in required first-year university courses demonstrated that baselinemotivation for learning – specifically, their self-efficacy and utility value – varied significantly.One recent study demonstrates that students in computationally-focused majors have higher self-efficacy [5].
