outcome for fishermen is: You will take ownership of fundamental principles of stability, and they will be central to your every day reality when making any decision that affects your vessel’s operations.A learning outcome is a broad statement of what participants will take away from a program. Page 12.1427.6Curriculum development with learning outcomes has its origins in systems theory andconstructivism, and includes authentic assessment. In contrast, curriculum development with acontent approach, is situated in liberal philosophy, and assessment is with norm referencedexams. The competency approach stems from behaviourist

Award twice and is currently working towards incorporating writing assignments that enhance students’ critical thinking capabilities. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Abstract A well–designed instructional module ensures that the subject matter content iseffectively integrated with the presentation format. In other words, the instructorattempts to blend the presentation and content in theory as well as practice. In reality,the instructor should assume the role of a facilitator and effectively utilize moderntechnology to experiment on innovative ideas. The ultimate objective is a deliverymechanism that can lead to new classroom instructional strategies. Researchers are also of the

. In anormal classroom a large part of the time is taken up by the instructor writing on the board, andthe students copying this material. In most cases the instructor writes the material preciselybecause it is important, and the twin actions of writing it and copying it emphasize thisimportance. Also the students are doing something physical, rather than being purely passive.But in a (well organized) Distance Learning class the students already have a hard copy of thematerial, and the more important material (should) always have a special prominence in thegraphical presentation, using various graphical techniques. In a live class it is also possible to“add” a few extra words or simple sketches, so that the students can copy it and thereby be

electrical engineering, electronics and computerengineering, or system design, etc.. First we focus on the word objectives and criteria and ask thestudent to write a paragraph stating the objectives, principles, and the decisive factors to reachthe stated objectives. The second step is conceptualization and laying down the foundation forhow to achieve the stated objectives. The students are encouraged to draw a block diagramshowing different components of the system they want to design. A set of questions are posed tostudents to further understand the task at hand. These are typical questions:• What are the input signals to system and, what are their characteristics and magnitudes?• Do the inputs require signal conditioning?• Do the inputs

Decompose the motions necessary to take the world frameto the camera frame into a series of fundamental rotation about the x, y, or z axes. Write downthe first rotation (about x, y, or z) using the fundamental rotation matrices provided above. Thenadd more rotations as necessary. If the rotations are with respect to the moving frame, post-multiply additional rotations. If it is with respect to the fixed frame, pre-multiply. This will allowyou to compute the matrix wRc

. The capstone senior deign project can be the vehicle to help solvingthese issues.ABET defines Engineering Design as: “The process of devising a system, component, or processto meet the desired needs. It is a decision making process, in which the basic sciences,mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet statedobjective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are: the establishment of theobjectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation”6. In our seniordesign classes we have placed this definition at core of electrical engineering senior designcourses. First we focus on the word objectives and criteria and ask the student to write aparagraph stating the

intramuralevents. These activities provide useful technical writing/presenting experiences forundergraduate students and increase their exposure to potential employers. The only studentfrom this program who already graduated from WSU currently works for a naval shipyard. Oneof the present students has accepted a job offer from the same shipyard.Outreach ActivitiesBesides carrying out research work, our group is spreading activities elsewhere, for example,cooperating with student clubs and organizing summer schools for high-school students. One ofstudent clubs in our university is the Solar Splash. Students in this club build solar-powered/electric boats, such as shown in Fig. 7a, and participate in the international competition.The faculty of our research

thoughtful andreasoned with respect to hydrodynamics. We believe that this approach of collaborative lectureswith small groups will be beneficial to others needing to teach high-level concepts to studentswho do not yet have the background knowledge required for more formal teaching.IntroductionIn a first-year engineering course at a large Midwestern research university, remotely operatedvehicles (ROVs) are used as a design project topic to teach fundamental engineering andcommunication skills. The course utilizes a design-build-test-communicate framework with theuse of peer mentors [1, 2] to coach students through what is often their first team-based course intheir post-secondary education [3, 4].In the design of ROVs, the science of hydrodynamics

Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering programs. Theexperience in incorporating MAESTRO into the undergraduate at the U. S. Coast GuardAcademy and graduate program at MIT is described. In both programs, the objective is to givestudents a working knowledge of ship structures without the series of courses and experienceneeded to become structural analysis experts. Most students of Naval Architecture and MarineEngineering do not specialize in the area of structural analysis nor develop expertize in detailedcomputerized structural analysis. However, all practicing naval architects and marine engineersneed a fundamental working knowledge of ship structures. Traditionally ship structures has beentaught by separating the loads into parts and
