Paper ID #16303Don’t Look at Your Shoes! Getting Engineers and Scientists to Engage withAudiencesDr. Scott A. Morris, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Dr. Scott A. Morris received his PhD in Agricultural Engineering in1992 from Michigan State University and has worked in industry both directly and as a consultant on a wide range of projects. Based at the University of Illinois since 1992, Dr. Morris developed a nationally-recognized research and teaching program, and was one of the first faculty members to offer asynchronous computer-based online content. Dr. Morris teaches engineering courses both on the Urbana
presented, and the results are followed by a discussion onthe interpretation and implications of the results. Survey and study limitations are noted. Finally,the major conclusions of the paper are presented with directions/suggestions for future work.A Review on Student Resistance Prior research on faculty decisions about their teaching practices12-17 has identified anumber of instructor-reported barriers to the use of nontraditional teaching methods, including:(a) concerns about student resistance, (b) questions about the efficacy of the techniques, (c)concerns about preparation time, (d) concerns about ability to cover the syllabus. This projectfocuses on student resistance as the barrier in most need of additional research. While

preferred problem solving preferences and sex. Group A consisted of 12 studentsand Group B consisted of 11 students.On day 1, students met in a single classroom and were introduced to the first wish: “I wish for aquick interface.” The problem owner of the wish was a Mechanical Engineering Senior DesignTeam working on the development of a quick interface between a grip system and a tensiletesting machine. Both groups received the same 5 minute introduction to the problem. Studentswere permitted to ask any questions regarding the posed problem.Then, Group A was moved to a separate room, given 40 minutes to develop ideas to address theposed problem with no additional instruction or facilitation. Group B remained in the room andwas led through the
video/audio encoder and decoder.Programs for the robot can be created, edited, and run. To create a program, the user enters a nameusing the keys on the teach pendant. Next, a series of points are recorded by jogging the robot andpressing the appropriate keys on the teach pendant to either record a new point or overwrite anexisting point. Motion instructions can be ine (i.e., efectively linear), continuous (the endefector follows a curving path between points), or circular (the end efector traces a path along anarc). The software executes ine motion instructions by linearly interpolating between the currentand next point.For continuous instructions, assuming that the current point is A and the next two points are B andC, the software creates a
