Students were tasked to perform simple arithmetic, look at howMATLAB treated trigonometric functions, look at concepts of discrete number systems (suchas rounding issues and how MATLAB actually computes its built-in functions), begin to lookat variables and data types, and begin declaring their own variables. This was quite a heftyamount of material for the students to go through in one week, however, by benchmarking theclass using a Socrative® Quiz (explained in “Using Smart Devices in the Classroom”), it wasfound that, on average, students were able to answer 6 out of 10 assessment questions based on Spring 2015 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova

theconcept. They have to learn information first and then apply it individually, and with their peers,in order for the active learning to take place. One of the most efficient methods of introducingand potentially motivating student learning is the lecture. Traditionally students have learnedcourse material by attending a lecture and then they apply their knowledge and are assessed bycompleting classroom problems, homework, individual and team projects and examinations. Inmore recent years the idea of the flipped classroom has evolved, whereby students are required toread, listen and/or watch a lecture, or watch a number of videos on the topic, to acquire thebackground information outside of the classroom. They then apply the learned material in

Both groups were benchmarkedprior to the test. The results of this study showed that the Jigsaw students improved theirinterpersonal skills but did not improve their learning above the traditional lecture student.7 Itwas concluded that the Jigsaw Learning method should modified similar to Slavin’s Jigsaw II8method by changing the following: using review material instead of new course material, andthe incentive of group grades instead of

This maze of complex tunnels is totallyinvisible from the outside and can only be appreciated if rendered in three-dimensions. Thispaper will show how these pyramids were modeled in SL to help the students interactivelyexplore these invisible features of the pyramids and understand the symbol behind variousfeatures of engineering and architectural features. Assessment of the outcome of this project,included quizzing the students on the information pertaining to features hidden inside thepyramids as shown in SL models, and the relationship between a place and the cultural aspectconnected to the function it serves.

IT105 introduces cadets to a problemsolving process, using Java as the vehicle. Because the goal is for cadets to assimilate theprocess and programming concepts rather than become programmers, we use the RAPTORdesign tool, which greatly reduces the number of novice programmer mistakes1.Cadets generally did well on programming assignments gradewise. The assignments werebelieved to be valid assessments, and so it was reasonable to conclude that the cadets had anunderstanding of the general programming concepts, but something was lacking.

This dataconfirms the fact that companies have centralized their focus and “cut the fat” out of theiroperations. This shift is something that can be expected with such a large amount of manufacturingwork going overseas. What the data does not indicate is that the total number employed over thepast couple years has not changed drastically at all.
