Working to improve interest,i.e., engagement, as well as aptitude enables not only an increase in the number of studentstrained for the technical workforce but also a broadening of their capabilities beyond the purelytechnical. Engineers with this broader world view will be poised to lead valuable technicalinnovation in the 21st century.1 The literature, gathered from higher education, K-12, andorganizational psychology clearly supports the importance of community in influencingengagement and

This allows for a symmetrical shape to observe rotation accurately in an E-Field insolution. These cells are cultured, and then subcultured, with an optimal 1-2 day incubationbetween cultures. This insures scaffolding does not take place (If scaffolding begins cells are nolonger spherical/symmetrical for measuring rotation).

To make the course interesting and relevant, weuse problems from science and engineering as much as possible. The problems are specificallychosen to illustrate the various topics covered in the computing course and to show theusefulness of the computer in their solution. Special emphasis is given to choosing problems thatare of general interest to all the students, regardless of engineering discipline. Students need tobe familiar with

Thepurpose of these courses is for student engineers to apply what they have learned in previouscoursework toward the design of a project within specified constraints. As ABET criterionstates, “Students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum culminating in amajor design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work andincorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints [1].”We’ve had some success in incorporating service learning activities into our capstone designcourse [2].

One potential solution to enhancingstudent learning in the traditional classroom environment is to incorporate take-homeexperiments as part of individual classes as homework assignments or projects. Take-home experiments used as engineering course assignments are not a new idea, but theyare also not widely used. Some early work on take-home experiments included the work byBedard and Meyer 1 who developed two experiments investigating viscous properties of fluids.Scott 2 developed two fluid-statics experiments that were part of a laboratory class, but were Page 23.610.2assigned as take home

Through the activitydeveloped on a motion context, students can establish the relationship between position andvelocity graphs, the latter establishing the former’s behavior. The interpretation of each of thesegraphs becomes a useful tool in order to describe in words the effects in the character motionsimulation that they represent.In what follows we describe a path of four didactic activities developed in the classroom, whichallow the establishment of generalizations on the qualitative relationships of the position andvelocity graphs; but through an environment that allows a different way of reaching theserelations.

Non-flight kits were modified to snap together so they can be built over and over with different groups of students.2. Extra-curricular weather ballooning constitutes the bulk of the MnSGCs ballooning program, with over 60 missions flown to date. (Note – There have only been four freshman seminar balloon flights.)
