Our small classes attempt to enculturate students into a rhetoricalmanner of thinking, that is, into a way of evaluating and responding to communicative situationsefficiently and effectively. As a result of this enculturation into a community of practice, ourclassroom is more like a laboratory than a lecture hall, a concept we discuss in section 5.As Wenger24 writes, “An identity is … more than just a single trajectory; instead, it should beviewed as a nexus of multimembership” (159). Thus, while communication professors seem tobelong to a community of practice that is fundamentally different from that which engineeringstudents hope to identify with, Wenger’s concept of multimembership enables

Integration of Experiential Learning Modules in Sophomore and Junior Courses: A Pilot StudyAbstract Evidence from past literature suggests that experiential learning activities can be highlybeneficial to undergraduate engineering students when introduced early in their undergraduatestudies. Learning modules based on experiential learning model have been developed andintegrated into two core undergraduate courses (one sophomore and one junior) of mechanicalengineering. Using the experiential learning model of Kolb, each learning module containsconcrete engineering experience, theory, computer-based modeling and simulations, and hands-on laboratory exercises.

Constitutive stress-strain relationships can be skillfullyapplied in a numerical model developed using the finite element method or finite differencemethod to reasonably predict the behavior of soil and soil-structure interaction1; however, astudent needs to believe what they are seeing is “true” in order for the teaching tool to beeffective.

understanding of physical phenomena,and Aristotle’s ideas are well alive in students’ minds. Many physics concepts and laws arebased on well controlled experiment, such as in vacuum. On the other hand, Aristotelian theoryis derived from everyday life experience, so it is accepted naturally in the 18+ years of students’life experience. Therefore, when the physics concepts and theories are introduced, conflicts arisein students’ minds. The Aristotelian pre-concepts are often more powerful, so it takesconsiderable amount of effort to turn the table around. Lillian C.
