that “[i]mplementation is notan all-or-none construct but exists in degrees along a continuum, from 0% to 100%” (Durlak, p.7). Nevertheless, quantifying the quality and dosage of implementation can be difficult, andresearch literature on the subject is sparse. Barry and Ohland assessed the extent to whichcoverage of the ABET ethics student outcome criterion (3f: an understanding of professional andethical responsibility) in coursework affected students’ scores on the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)Examination. Determining the dosage of ethics coursework was done through faculty interviews.The researchers found a relationship between coursework and the exam outcomes, but

Full Paper: Hands-On Laboratory Exercises for Engineering Applications of Mathematics CourseIn Fall 2007, the First-Year Engineering Program (FEP) was started with the intent of increasingstudent retention and success. One of the main hindrances to retention at a public universityengineering program with open enrollment is the unpreparedness of students for rigorouscurriculum requirements of the first year. In an effort to help first year engineering students whoare one or two semesters behind Calculus I, FEP offers Engineering Applications of Mathematics(E-Math) course, which was inspired by the Wright State model for Engineering MathematicsEducation [1]. E-Math aims to teach College Algebra

in a First-year ExperienceBackground & PurposeThis work-in-progress centers on the fall/spring semester juncture of a two-course first-yearengineering experience at Ohio Northern University. As a means to provide continuity to themultidisciplinary course sequence from one term to the next, the comprehensive final exam inthe fall semester is used as the initial homework assignment in the spring. These assessmentscover the key content areas of the fall course, namely the engineering design process,mathematical modeling, CAD, technical writing standards, and other foundational areas.The spring semester homework is delivered by means of a Google Form, whereby the use of anadd-on script allows for student submissions to be auto-graded.

GIFTS: MAJOR exposure through engineering innovationsAs a first-year engineering instructor on the first day of class, someone invariably asks whatdiscipline of engineering they should go into. Not knowing the particular background of theseindividuals, it is difficult to give them meaningful advice on the spot. First-year students (andtheir parents) have an expectation that the first-year course will “help” them decide whatdiscipline the student should major in. However, introducing students to various fields ofengineering may not be the main foci of the course, as many first-year programs have evolvedtowards the inclusion of curricular content such as design, entrepreneurship, writing, and/orprogramming. This leaves little

, and in considering the types of questions their students would ask. Once theteachers have completed the activity/experiment, they will discuss the experiment with thefacilitator to learn more about the fundamentals governing the experiment.Throughout the activity, facilitators will record any questions asked by the teachers. In addition,if teachers email facilitators with questions after the activity, those questions will also berecorded. As stated previously, FAQs are provided in the kits; however the FAQ list is living andgrowing with each workshop offering. Updates to FAQ sheets are posted on the cloud drivematerials.Upon completion of the activity, there is a reflection and assessment time. Teachers are providedwith student assessment

A sampling ofactivities is found in Table 2.Table 2. Example activities detailed within the Professional Communication module. Teams progress through three rounds (Taboo, Pictionary, Charades) with the goal of Celebrity learning the importance of different communication styles. Teams design and construct a tower out of newspaper and tape without speaking Paper Tower (i.e., write and/or sketch). After completing an individual worksheet, the team
