Some students determined last year that there was an area ofsoftware development in which they were not interested. Others found new areas of interest. Some field trips to local firms to determine career opportunities are planned. Once studentsget involved with their project, they are usually anxious to see it to conclusion and are notthrilled about having too many speakers or field trips.Reporting Requirements: Each team presents a ten minute oral report each week which gives abrief overview of accomplishments of the past week and plans for the next week

Additional phases may also be included such as site evaluation,interior design and post-occupancy services. Each phase has a particular set of issues andprocedures, but all involve a design and decision making component.During the planning phase goals are developed and a schedule is established. Programmingdetermines the specific requirements of the project itself. Schematic design involves consideringalternative design options and establishing a preliminary approach.

elements of deliberate practice are: (1) motivation, (2) intentional plan ofpractice, (3) repetition, and (4) timely feedback. We assign homework to provide students withrepetitive, intentionally designed practice opportunities, but ensuring that students receive timely,effective feedback is resource-intensive and does not scale well to large classes. In addition, ourexperience with traditional homework grading suggests that many students do not even viewdetailed feedback when it is provided. One solution to both problems is for students to grade theirown homework assignments.Direct evidence of effectiveness of student-grading for learning is scant, but suggests thatself-grading is more effective than peer-grading for achieving learning objectives

However, past work has found that textbookproblems are rarely ill-structured in form and that students may be rarely exposed to ill-structured problems within their engineering curriculum [1], [2], [5]. One area in which ill-structured problems are easier to incorporate are within lab experiences. Student laboratoryexperiences are

Analysis revealed that while there was anincrease in all the areas, the Likert scores were already starting out high, consistent with theresponse rate of students planning to study engineering. From conversations and responses to theopen-ended survey questions, we learned that many of the camp participants were trying todistinguish the different types of engineering and very much enjoyed the hands-on approach tothe labs.

By necessity most projects are multidisciplinary, involving both mechanical and elec-trical work. Quite often these devices use controls, such as PLCs.

Proposalwriting in an introductory technical writing course is usually a standard part of the curriculum.The instructor has ample time to lecture on the topic and offer a number of opportunities forstudents to practice the form. In EG, the writing consultant has a limited amount of teachingtime. To address this fact, we decided to refine and simplify the assignment to allow us to get tothe fundamentals of teaching persuasive writing quickly.BackgroundEG
