Inaddition to this, OSHA literature was also frequently referenced due to its abundance and itsapplicability to work places across the country.2. Prepreg Treater OverviewThe prepreg treater can be broken into 4 major sections: the unwind/bath, ovens, ventilation andtake-up, as shown in Figure 1. In the bath section of the machine, fabric is unwound from a roll,dipped into the resin bath and then threaded between two pinch rollers to remove excess resin.From there, the resin-coated fabric is conveyed into the oven section of the machine, where thematerial is "B-staged". During B-staging, the material is partially cured and solvent is removed,necessitating the use of a ventilation

It should be noted that the videos were not intended to replace thein-class lectures, but rather, to provide an additional resource for students to support theirlearning.3.2 The classroom surveyThe method used to determine if the supplemental video lectures enhanced student performanceinvolved administering a very simple survey – in the form of a single question – at the end ofeach quiz: Which of the following best describes how you prepared for this quiz? a) I prepared primarily using class lectures. b) I prepared

With this observed increase in the use of technology for effectively engineeringstudent educational experience, several new tools and platforms are currently being developedand explored4.The authors of this paper are currently working towards exploring effective pedagogical methodsthat promote student learning and student interactions. As a part of this effort, to understandsocial networks based student interactions for educational settings, an online secure Facebookgroup was developed to encourage students from The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) andDrexel University
RPM formedthe basis for the rating scale used to measure innovation25. Team innovation was defined as theextent to which the team’s prototype embodied both a) the existence of a novel, unique, andoriginal idea, and b) the effective implementation of the idea and functionality of the prototype21.Ratings of innovation were z-scored to standardize within rater.ResultsWe applied random coefficient models (RCM) to examine study hypotheses using Bliese andPloyhart’s model estimation procedures26, the statistical program R, and the Nonlinear andLinear Mixed Effects package (i.e., nlme27). Following Bliese and Ployhart, we first tested anintercept-only model to assess the amount of variance in learning residing between and withinteams. Intraclass

using this method of solution-finding that iscommonly used for scientific discovery. In science, analogies are used to find new hypotheses bycomparing the current unknown problem with a solved case that has some similarities, promptingone to ask if both can be understood in the same way. In engineering, using an analogy may actthe same way. By saying problem A is basically the same as problem B, it follows that theexisting solution to problem B may also work for problem A.15 Thus, by thinking of analogies toteach teammates about one’s discipline, one practices using this method of finding a solution.However, as mentioned above, for students to engage in this knowledge transfer, and to discussand debate different solutions, the capstone team

to succeed academically6. Some of these skillsinclude mindsets and attitudes, metacognition, time management, working with others,seeking help, and utilizing one’s peers and professors. The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is a prime venue and opportunity to help cultivate many of these skills forstudents.Two main resources were used in helping students develop these skills. One of theseresources is the textbook for the course “Studying Engineering: A Road Map to aRewarding Career” by Dr. Raymond B. Landis37. This book covers many of the topicslisted above in the context of beginning and pursuing engineering study. Receptivity tochange and personal growth are strong underlying themes in the text and the assignmentsbased around the readings

While the students found the exercise difficult, 78.21% of the studentsthought the exercise helped them to see how all topics covered in CSC116 fit together, and89.74% of the students thought the exercise helped them to understand designing a 10program/application. The responses for the helpfulness of the exercise were very motivating forcontinuing to have similar exercises in future semesters. Examining the results of the commonrubric assessment, the students performed best with two rubric items: (a) Combining elements orideas in ways that are coherent and logical and (b) Adaptability and flexibility of thought.

Even better would be atrial of several sections of a revision b—one predominantly populated by STEM majors, onepopulated, once again, with a mixture of STEM and non-STEM majors, and additionally, asection designed predominantly for non-STEM majors who are curious

In anattempt to display the results as clearly as possible, we first organized the results of the 26 totalsurvey questions into categories, as can be seen in Appendix 3.

If the hinge pattern is repeated a fewtimes horizontally, these rotations can accumulate into a large total bending angle.Figure 1. A. plain sheet of material for laser cutting. B.
