To prepare for thesession, the research team spread across three concurrent sessions of ISSST, and took notesbased on the following items: 1. What do people consider “sustainability”? 2. What are things our students should understand, know, be able to do? 3. Do we see evidence of our initial gateway concepts: Time; Scale; Feedback; Energy; Modeling 4. What mentions of contexts are made: values; social; political; technical 5. To what degree are conversations focused on US or globally? 6. Any mentions of corporate, industrial, governmental, educational contexts? 7. What did we miss in

essentially adaptations of the R. R. Moore Industrial FatigueTesting Machines which cost in excess of $150,000. The goal is to produce an affordable and afully functional version of the apparatus that produces dependable results. The time factor forconducting fatigue testing in an educational environment has been incorporated in the designprocess. The process for the design of the apparatus, its subsystems, and the features ofcomponents are discussed. The results of two sets of tests conducted on two different materialsare presented. Summary of an assessment reflecting on the positive educational outcomes due tothe use of the EFTM is shared with the engineering community.I- IntroductionLaboratory experimentation is a critical final link for a

The assignment also required participants tosubmit the revised and original lesson plans plus samples of student work. The submitted lessonplans reflected the diversity of subjects taught by the participants and shared with their peers.The completed assignments were presented at the second workshop session, which consisted of a1-day meeting in December 2012.Based on the teachers’ applications for the program, we were able to outline what the teachershoped to learn from the workshops.

taughtbasic science in a more coherent way. The existence of various learning styles has also been well documented and multipleclassification systems have been developed. For example, the Felder-Silverman model12separates learning styles into four dichotomous categories: student learning can be 1) sensory orintuitive, 2) visual or verbal, 3) active or reflective, and 4) sequential or global. Parallel to thisstudent learning model, corresponding teaching styles are either 1) concrete or abstract, 2) visualor verbal, 3) active or passive, and 4) sequential or global. Evidence suggests that the currentstudent population has a diverse learning style. Therefore, the typical teaching approach(utilizing the abstract, verbal, passive, and sequential

In addition to promoting outcomes that benefit all studentsregardless of career aspirations such as increased math and science achievement and greatertechnological literacy, K-12 engineering programs have been identified as a means of recruitingand retaining potential students in engineering.The growth of precollege engineering programs means that increasing numbers of incomingengineering students will have had some exposure to engineering prior to their enrollment inengineering programs. However, the impact of precollege engineering experiences onundergraduate engineering students is relatively unexplored. To address this lack

CR items are generally considered more reliable than MC items, asstudent guessing is minimized and more nuanced scoring is possible; however, maintainingvalidity and consistency requires strict maintenance and fair application of a grading rubric1. Asa result, CR items require allocating students more time during the examination and increase theadministrative demands in preparing for and scoring the examination and providing feedback tostudents.
