As a result of the fall 1999 assessment results, changes weremade before module presentation. It was hypothesized that the students’ negative response tothe multi-media presentation was due to two main factors: 1) the students were not aware thatconcepts presented were testable and 2) the visualizations involved too much finite elementmethod (FEM) background that proved counterproductive to the students’ understanding of themechanics being taught. Therefore, the current fall 2000 work reflects data resulting from twochanges to the fall 1999 experiment: 1) an emphasis on the presented concepts as being exam-testable and 2

To further emphasize the subjectivenature of industry type evaluation, a certain percentage of the final lab grade is purely subjective.As an example, if the total lab points is 100, the breakdown of these points could be as follows:x successful completion of projects assigned 50 pointsx written assignments (memos and discussions) 15 pointsx presentation/demonstration of projects 10 pointsx overall subjective evaluation 15 pointsThe subjective evaluation is used to reward teams and team members when they produce resultsbeyond the minimum expected outcomes.

Their wide-ranging and sophisticated functionality is reflected in the complexity of their user interfaces. This complexitymakes it difficulty to separate the student’s ability to fundamentally understand the problem vs. their ability tocomprehend the user interface syntax. These applications are designed to solve complicated general engineeringproblems and are not study educational hypotheses.Our experiences suggest that fixed simulations as represented by software such as Maxis’ SimCity [14], while easyto use, do not contribute to learning how to model, although they help

Certainly, if afaculty member has had extensive industrial experience, a good deal of insight can be provided tothe students as he/she reflects on their own experiences. Similarly, issues dealing with projectand time management are most easily related by a faculty member who has had some personalexperiences. But, in reality, these are operational details which can be overcome through trainingand experience. A bigger issue deals with motivation and rewards. How does the facultyperceive such an

like a natural scientist. One of the main tasks of educators today is to make subject matter more hands-on andmore relevant to student’s lives. What has yet to be accepted is that engineering is very much ahands-on subject and engineering is real life. In his curriculum, John Dewey used real worldproblems as projects. Students worked on defining the problem, made observations necessary tosolve the problem, etc., much in the same manner that a systems engineering project isundertaken. Dewey believed that learning should be as close to real-life as possible and not just apreparation for the future. He also believed that children in schools should be engaged in thetypes of activities that reflect the life of the larger society (Tanner
