Once a “sentence engineer” is able to see the formulasbeneath sentences, he or she can then also detect and repair common sentence errors, such aspronoun reference errors, which to reconcile, often involves moving terms around in a sentenceequation, so the reader can more easily locate what noun a pronoun replaces, or seen through thelens of math—“solve for X.”Course DesignBenchmark: As an attempt to design the experimental class so that it might viably articulate intothe university’s undergraduate General Education (G.E.) curriculum, I developed my STEMgrammar course so

Theconcept of service learning has been interpreted in many different ways ranging from a singlecollege course where the students are required to spend one afternoon doing community service(i.e., picking up trash in the neighborhood, giving blood, etc.) to multi-year, service projects thatare fully integrated into the curriculum and include opportunities for reflection and interactionwith the organization and/or people being served.

An instrumentation amplifier circuit board kit was availablefor the students to integrate into their design. The project provided a very good means ofunifying many aspects of the course. The fabrication experience gained through this project isalso a valuable component of the mechanical engineering curriculum.

There were three areas of concern that couldpotentially affect the integrity of the member. The first one was the compressive force of thespring acting upwards on the center of the support. The second area of concern was due to lateralforces that may be put on the support due to turning or any shift from side to side that is mayencounter.

paradigm of engineering curriculum towards a more well-roundededucation. The commonality among these three documents is improving students’ problemsolving techniques. The future will inevitably bring unanticipated crises; engineers will need toidentify the problems and collaboratively formulate innovative, feasible solutions. This researchhypothesizes that service-learning can serve as a mechanism that will allow students to developthe necessary problem solving skills. To investigate this hypothesis, an education assessmentinstrument is employed to examine whether students who have participated in service-learningprojects have stronger analytical, practical, and creative abilities than students who have onlybeen exposed to the conventional
