Semester: Carrying out the Plan With one of the goals of this laboratory being to introduce long-term experiments,students were required to work in the laboratory for extended periods, which is distinctlydifferent from typical undergraduate laboratories, and this laboratory was not listed with specifictimes. Therefore, it was necessary to describe the expectations early in the semester, so that thestudents would ‘buy-in’ to the concept of the laboratory and be able to carry out the experiments.This was done at the beginning of the semester and again as the topics were discussed, so t hatstudent comments such as those described by Sharfstein and Relue 7 that the lab time wasunexpected or inadequate could be avoided.Selection of Teams

Thesestrategies include an initial analysis of the rhetorical situation (including audience),planning and drafting that takes into account the findings of this analysis, documenttesting, and final revision to ensure audience accommodation.One key to an efficient and effective writing process is learning how to analyze therhetorical situation productively before one even begins drafting a document. Thus, atechnical writing teacher will encourage students to determine their target audience, theirexact subject matter, their purpose, the genre (memo, report, evaluation, etc.) they

Students should be assessed formatively, serving to inform future learning experiences · This is more of a curricular planning issue, but it basically supports the idea of taking grades throughout the semester based on actual “hands-on” content knowledge in order to give students some idea of their own levels of learning before a major grading event (midterm, final exam, etc.) 6.

This paper describes the laboratory program associatedwith the undergraduate Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures course offered to cadetsat the United States Military Academy.The reinforced concrete course at West Point covers the topics one usually finds at theundergraduate level. These include properties of concrete and reinforcing steel, beamdesign, one-way slab design, bond stresses and development length, serviceabilityrequirements, column design, and footing design.

Students would understand the high level of expectation for effort in engineering classes, while simultaneously being encouraged to solve a difficult problem. • The project should be open-ended. Students would use the engineering design process to create a unique design, with no pre-defined solutions. • The project should be hands-on. Students would utilize the maker space at the UMHB Engineering Design Building to gain hands-on experience with hardware and software. • The project should be competitive.

As we have developed new comparisonsessions for classroom use (on our own or with teachers), we have leveraged these templates toguide our thinking. The template serves as a generative tool by eliciting thinking about theinstructional experience. For example, debrief questions are organized to help teachers align keyconcepts with conceptual, technical, and transfer-learning elements (see Fig. 3).
