Dr. Ayala is currently serving as Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology Department, Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. Prior to joining ODU in 2013, Dr. Ayala spent three years as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Delaware where he expanded his knowledge on simulation of multiphase flows while acquiring skills in high-performance parallel computing and scientific computation. Before that, Dr. Ayala held a faculty position at Universidad de Oriente at Mechanical Engineering Department where he taught and developed graduate and undergraduate courses for

Future work will compare VARK learningstyles of engineering students with those of liberal arts students and enhanced PowerPointlectures with PowerPoint that includes printed handouts.IntroductionIn order to succeed in engineering studies, students must possess certain cognitive traits: ≠ The ability to handle higher mathematics ≠ The ability to identify and formulate problems ≠ The ability to model physical situations with

Thereby,our goal is to share our experiences, so that others can replicate, adapt, or expand on ourapproaches. Guided by various learning theories, merged into a framework of progressivecompetency development, a VLE was constructed that allows students to systematically developmethodological understanding and procedural application skills for the collection and analysis ofdata in a lab environment. Thereby, a simulation element was embedded into the larger didacticframework of the asynchronous online course, and provisions were implemented that allowed forongoing formative feedback.

While the age difference between them is small, the context of theirschools and levels of support and resources make them distinct groups.

of staffing requirements. A possible way to overcomethese limitations of the traditional physical laboratory is to use alternative modes of delivery,such as virtual laboratories. In a virtual laboratory, students do not interact with real equipmentto obtain data, but rather with computer simulations of laboratory or industrial processequipment, obscured by pre-programmed statistical variation. The virtual laboratory is intendedto allow future engineers to practice the skills they will need in industry, in much the same way aflight simulator is used for training pilots. This learning environment is compelling not onlybecause it can alleviate resource constraints, but also because it can address learning outcomesnot possible with a physical

. Theprincipal of annealing metals has been understood for thousands of years and simply involves alocal increase in thermal energy (heating) to allow the packing of the metal atoms to find a statethat has better material properties. Finding the optimal amount of thermal energy is the key. Toolittle thermal energy or heat and the material will not change, but too much thermal energy willsimply melt the material and not allow it to settle into a lower energy state that typicallyproduces superior properties. Similarly, computer simulations are also used to sample the state ofmaterials to understand structure-property relationships and design new materials. The key to aneffective simulation is the sampling algorithm. Narrow sampling and the simulation will

An illustration of how such anassertion propagates through the literature is shown in Figure 3. Many of the papers citing thesestatistics are proponents of multimedia based education.Of those ASEE conference papers which provide a reference, four cite Stice 3.

environments are adapting new methodsof conveying information to students. Projectors have long replaced television sets, pre-recordedvideo programs are incorporated into otherwise monologue-like lectures, and the internet-enabled computer has found wide acceptance as an interactive medium. In higher education,many universities have designed classrooms with extensive, yet also costly audio-visualproduction equipment geared towards offering long-distance educational resources, whether bymailing recorded media or making it available online. In most cases, the benefit of these high-cost resources is justified by business decisions of reaching beyond the resident student body.The advantages of recorded media are manifold and require little justification

with a client in designing a product. One professor of engineeringprovides the rationale for this real-world simulation: We do a kind of capstone experience in that class where we bring in somebody, some local client,…and they do kind of a more real project for somebody. So they get to try it out early on, and then what we do as advisors in clinic is ask them to go back to that process. Because I think a lot of times when they are given a real world project in clinic, the inclination is just to kind of run out and find an answer, or whatever. But we really do try to make them sit down, analyze their problem statement, pull out objectives and constraints, and they’ll resist it a little bit, because
