This, we hoped, would minimize theengineering challenge and mission risk to the primary payload and make us more invitingto mission management.Three challenges immediately stood out: we had no mission, no money, and nomidshipmen signed up to work the project. To solve the problem of mission, we turned tothe work of Jane Goodhue, a graduate of the class of 1997 whose First Class project hadexplored the concept of a small, inexpensive satellite to provide communications with theNaval Academy’s Yard Patrol (YP) boats when deployed along the Atlantic Coast duringsummer training cruises.

Many of these approaches have been successful in increasing studentsuccess in calculus and in increasing engineering retention at the specific university in which themethod was implemented.

Context 2: First Year Engineering Course at a University in the United StatesThe project was the basis of a course called Freshman Engineering Clinic at Rowan University.This two credit-hour course is offered in the fall and spring respectively. The class has twomeetings per week, once in a classroom for 50-minutes, and once in a laboratory for 165-minutes. Students from Rowan University’s five engineering disciplines – Biomedical,Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer, and Mechanical - are enrolled in the course anddistributed into multidisciplinary sections. There are currently 16 sections of the course offeredwith approximately 18-24 students in each section. Students work in teams on a semester-long,multidisciplinary

How is interdisciplinary competence affected by the participation in a narrative-based interdisciplinary case study?MethodsThis study was conducted at a mid-Atlantic university with three sections of a project-based,multidisciplinary engineering design course for sophomore engineering students. The study wasconducted during the fall 2021 semester. This study consisted of a total of 54 students, 48 ofwhom consented to participate in the study. 37 students completed both the pre- and post-surveyrequirements. The survey for data collection was distributed in the first and last class. The surveyconsisted of questions from the

Teacher education students at a mid-Atlantic university took a Web-based andlaboratory-based learning environments and test on four different cognitive achievements,consisting of analyze, apply, understand, and remember[7]. The result showed that studentstaking the Web-based course achieved higher scores at remember and understand levels thanlaboratory-based students did but scores on apply and analyze levels were in the failing range forboth groups.

The study was implemented in tandem at two different universities (denoted Univ 1 andUniv 2 in the data comparison tables). University 1 is a small, public, undergraduate onlybaccalaureate university with an art and sciences focus in a rural area of the Mid-Atlantic region.University 2 is a midsized, public, master's university in a medium density city in the West NorthCentral Region. The same semester-long project was assigned in a steel design class at university1 and a reinforced concrete design course at university 2. The background of the students wassimilar at both schools; the students had completed statics, mechanics of materials, and structuralanalysis courses.

In other words, the SoTE is Improvability and Endurance. TheSoTE is achieved at two levels, namely, the system and approach levels. At the system level, theeducational institution should be able to improve without reducing its ability to endure. Theinstitution should adopt an

It may turn outthat these two objectives are very much related.In the mid-1990s, writer John Brockman asserted the ascendency and predominance of scienceby publishing provocative interviews with several big-name scientists in his book, The ThirdCulture: Beyond the Scientific Revolution. These scientists had been successful at popularizingtheir work by writing in a manner that captured the attention and imagination of the public.2 In asense, they represented a new integration of science and the humanities, since they were able toharness the power of compelling literature to promote scientific
mid-Atlantic research-focused university. In response to a call for proposals from the Leonhard Centerfor the Enhancement of Engineering Education (the College’s teaching and learning center), theengineering design program proposed the creation of a set of multi-disciplinary modules about theprofessional skill set and contemporary issues in engineering, focusing on topics such ascommunication, innovation, and sustainability. The modules would be implemented in a first-yeardesign course, which is a required course for most first-year students intending to major inengineering.Because of the large size of each year’s incoming class and the desire to keep class sizes fairlysmall, the number of sections offered each semester is large.

DATA: The stalls were repeated over and over and motion pictures from the GSAP cam- eras clearly showed that the stall started at the root of the gull section of the left wing. The affected area was conspicuous because the yarn would stand up and lash violently in a stalled area. These yarn stall detectors are still used today even on new space shuttle de- signs. d.) INTERPRETATION: When synchronized motion pictures of the right and left wings were projected side-by-side, the unsymmetrical stall was clearly shown. Enlarged prints of sequential stall progression were used to pinpoint the problem. e.) DECISION: It was soon determined that the desired cure would

Also, ten qualities of an effective leader arediscussed and students complete a self-evaluation of their own leadership qualities based on“The Art of Leadership” [20]. Individually, students rate each of the ten leadership qualities(vision, ability, enthusiasm, stability, concern for others, self-confidence, persistence, vitality,charisma, and integrity) on a scale of one to ten (low to high) based on their success in thatparticular area.
