The research questions are as follows:1) How do the types and quality of teaching methods used for statics impact students’ (a)knowledge of statics; (b) satisfaction with the learning environment Types of teaching methods were evaluated by classroom observations (in tandem with answering research question 2 below). Item (a) was evaluated via comparative course grades in statics, and pre/post performance on a concept inventory. Students’ satisfaction (b) was evaluated using and focus groups with students, the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) online survey, and end of semester evaluations.2) What do statics faculty report were: (a) their background in and motivations for adoptinginnovative teaching

Project OverviewQuinnipiac University is a medium-sized private university in northeastern United States. Withinthe engineering program, a 3-credit hour Introduction to Engineering course is offered; it isrequired for all engineering freshman students. The goals of the course are twofold: (a) to explainthe basic practice of engineering, impact on society, skills employed, and professional/ethicalresponsibilities; and (b) to summarize the knowledge bases, skills, problem types, and analysistechniques of the four engineering disciplines offered at the university. By raising students’understanding of engineering disciplines, the course enhances

and determine rewards.Design reviews for capstone design projects vary across institutions and engineering programs4.Commonly, a two-semester project will have three design reviews: problem review, concept review, andfinal solution review. Assessment focus shifts according to the review, but it typically examines theadequacy of processes used and quality of products delivered in the corresponding stage of design.Outcomes of the review should be a decision to (a) proceed without changes, (b) make minor refinementsand then advance, or (c) make major revisions and undergo another review before advancing. Throughthese design reviews, students learn to present, assess, and defend their design work before professionals
