ofalternative teaching strategies. This paper will attempt to accomplish two objectives:discuss ways in which a traditional lecture can be made more compelling to its audienceand also present approaches that will help transform the large lecture dynamic intosomething more akin to a seminar.IntroductionThe problems (and opportunities) facing an instructor with a large class can be illuminated bylooking at the similarities (and differences) between a large lecture class and a classical Greektheatre [5], such as the one illustrated below. Figure 1: Greek amphitheatre/Lecture hall comparisonWhat is the same? In both cases we have a small group of people, in our case just the teacher andin the theatre a small troupe, speaking to a large

They are still struggling with theconcepts of forces and moments and how forces and moments are interrelated.Comparison of the mean gain score of the 9 categories reveals that students also demonstratedthe greatest gain at representing forces at various connections. They also scored the lowest gainin the same categories in which their category mean score was the lowest. In addition, theydemonstrated low gain scores in simple free-body concepts and action/reaction forces at bodyconnections. Mean scores in these two categories were in the middle of all the category meanscores. This suggests that students entered this course with a reasonable understanding of simplefree-bodies and third

ADVANCED CAE TOOLSAbstractThis paper is a work in progress that discusses the possibility of creating a single coursethat combines topics and concepts from rigid body dynamics and finite element analysiswith emphasis on integrating theory with advanced CAE tools. At this point in time, thiscourse is not yet developed but rather it is in a conceptual stage. Therefore, a data-drivenassessment of this course, if offered, would take some more time which will be reportedin a future conference or a technical meeting.IntroductionThe ultimate goal of this work is an attempt to develop an undergraduate course thatintegrates kinematics, dynamics and finite element analysis of mechanical assemblies.This is also called multi-body analysis which is usually

The understanding of these concepts was re-enforced using interactive simulations and game play with immediate feedback and discussion.This was facilitated using a hand held wireless computer mediated communication (CMC)system that enabled synchronous participation of students in traditional decision theory gamesand exercises. This system allowed us to capture, in real time, individual, team, and class leveloutcomes that assisted in the evaluation of important considerations in complex social systemsand better reinforcement of group dynamic theory and leader emergence.Preliminary results indicate that using this

Such anenvironment can be made virtually indistinguishable from an actual industrial process controlroom but located in the safety and convenience of a classroom. We can construct our PBLproblems in the chemical manufacturing facility of our choice by integrating the appropriateDCS configuration with a suitable dynamic simulation case study. This approach providesstudents with a realistic chemical manufacturing PBL problem for motivation and also allowsthem to engage in authentic inquiry by interacting with this simulated process operation via anindustrial quality DCS interface.Project ApproachThis work supports the NSF CCLI project “Improving Engineering Curricula by Integrating
