Paper ID #39870Learning Engineering Material Selection and Design Process Using anEngine DissectionDr. Craig Altmann, Virginia Military Institute ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023Learning Engineering Material Selection and Design Process Using an Engine DissectionAbstractDuring the fall 2022 semester, the Mechanical Engineering department at the Virginia MilitaryInstitute (VMI) was interested in implementing a hands-on project in their Introduction toMechanical Engineering course. The goal of the project was to provide new students anexposure to mechanical engineering through means of
. Studentsof a mechanical engineering course at The University of Texas at Tyler were tasked with filmingtheir material failure experiments and using the footage in their video lab reports, which they hadto upload onto a dedicated YouTube channel (McCaslin and Young, 2015). Similar to thegeotechnical engineering lab discussed above, students of this lab expressed their concern aboutthe video editing being too time-consuming, but they also stated that the high-quality footage ofthe experiment allowed them to observe more experimental details. Overall, McCaslin andYoung (2015) reported that students self-assessed their level of acquired knowledge morepositively compared to previous offerings when videotaping had not been part of the lab.SummaryWhile lab
% or higher failure rate, (2) taken within the first two years of atraditional student study program, (3) infrequent exams, (4) large amounts of reading, (5) largeclass sizes (i.e. high-enrollment), and (6) voluntary/unrecorded class attendance [9].Many initiatives and policies have been implemented within the University in an effort toimprove persistence from first to second year, as well as 4 and 6 year graduation rates. Withinthe College of Engineering, SI programs have been deployed to these high-risk courses (alsoknown as “gatekeeper” or “weed out” classes) to aid in academic achievement of students forover 20 years. In this case, the courses are the following 200 & 300-level courses: Statics,Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials

are established, a general lesson plan needs to be laidout. The lesson plan is an outline of topics that need to be covered. In the same example, the lessonplan involved teaching students three topics: 1.) Choosing a beam material, shape, and size; 2.)Visualizing the deflection of a beam; 3.) Determining the utilization ratio of a beam.Once the objectives and lesson plan are established, the lesson plan needs to be translated intomechanics for the module. Mechanics are how players and the module, including states,challenges, rules, goals, actions, and strategies, interact with each other in a meaningful way thatcreates consequences in the immersive module [13]. For example, for the developed beam designVR module, the player interacts with a

Variation in Incentive Techniques Affect AttendanceAbstractLecture attendance in engineering classes is critical for improving grades, developing afundamental understanding of material, and bettering social bonds [1], [2]. Late-afternoon Fridaylectures often experience a decrease in attendance and this decrease can have negative effects onstudent success [3]. Therefore, the primary objective of this work was to increase Fridayattendance in a senior level, required Mechanical Engineering (ME) class. This was done byintroducing a Friday lecture schedule that had three rotating incentives on Fridays: in-personquizzes with a lecture, in-person group work/homework sessions and a lecture, and asynchronous, Zoom lecture (not in-person).

University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Civil EngineeriDr. Rebecca Mazur, ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023IntroductionUndergraduate-level engineering courses can sometimes be experienced by students as asemester-long march through content, with few opportunities for intellectual excitement ormoments of deep cognitive engagement. This type of coverage-focused teaching persists despitethe well-recognized need for instructors to “consider not only the content and topics that makeup an engineering degree, but also how students engage with these materials” (Smith, et al.,2005, p. 97). The extent to which students are given opportunities to engage deeply with andmake sense of engineering content may play a role in
