Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization. Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers. Administrator (deans, chairs, and decision makers in general)should investigate ways for helping new faculty members gain industrial experienceby spending a semester on-site at a cooperating industry, using summer release timeto work within industry, or allow for a dual appointment, say

Each module is self-contained and is covering the basic and essentialknowledge of the topics. The modules are divided into three parts: basic principles, systemtechnology, and experimental aspects of the topics. The imparted knowledge is divided into twoparts: the first part is the basic knowledge, and the second part is the deepened knowledge

And still some correct answersare marked wrong. Either the instructor needs to examine each answer individually, or (s)heneeds to wait until students complain. There is no easy way out.When answers are longer than a single word, the difficulties compound. Many of myclasses involve programming. My students had problems with Moodle, which treatsembedded blanks as significant. For example, a blank after a parenthesis in an expressioncan cause the system to give zero credit for the answer. Moreover, several specialcharacters, including “” are discarded by the system1 before answers are graded.Worse

-based ActivitiesVarious hands-on activities were used throughout the bonding module. Students were able tohold items made of materials with the representative bonding type(s). The material thuscontextualized information about bonding. The activity was done in teams where students wereencouraged to discuss observations and explain relevance to bonding. To further demonstrateand provide analogies for bonding in polymers, students were given Velcro to model van derWaals bonding and were able to see the difference in difficulty of pulling it apart under differentconfigurations. To observe the anisotropic behavior of polymers as a result of their bonding,students applied tension along various axes to plastic bags by pulling them apart by hand

Further, traditional peer-assisted teaching is not typically conducted bycontemporaries/classmates of the enrolled students. This arrangement has been operationallydefined as “the use of undergraduate teaching assistants, usually students who recently weresuccessful in the course, and are useful because they provide a means to supplement large lecturecourses with small discussion groups.”11 Historically, first reports of students teaching studentsappeared in the 1960’s when faculty dissatisfaction emerged in response to large lecture coursesin which the student’s role was largely passive.

STEP alsohelped her realize that “you don’t particularly have to be intelligent or less intelligent tounderstand concepts. You’re just going to have to try harder.” With regards to interest andenjoying engineering, she believed she would better enjoy engineering since she now had“experience in these classes” and would be more comfortable since she “understand[s] theamount of work” required.

The weather station provides data year-round and can be stored onthe staff’s computer to be emailed to The Ohio State University or other service teams for futuredevelopment of wind energy. If a 1 kW wind turbine can be successfully constructed andconnected to the electric grid and the average wind speed can reach 5 m/s, this type of turbinecould produce around 1,000 kWh annually. This would equate to $280 in yearly savings, andpossibly allow MdL to have access to some power even when the main power is down. Multiplewind turbines could greatly increase these savings, provided that the first prototype is successful.Future teams can use recorded data to find accurate savings
