academic misconduct under different delivery methods aresummarized and the outcomes of student perception of the inverted delivery method presented.Suggestions to faculty seeking to try this instructional method are also given to help smooth thetransition from traditional methods. Introduction In the traditional undergraduate engineering classroom one will typically find an instructorpresenting new material via lectures, which may also include demonstrations, example problems,and other active learning techniques. An increasingly popular course structure, the flippedclassroom, aims to maximize the amount of in-class time dedicated to active learning. It is notedthat the flipped classroom is also known as an inverted classroom1-2, an inside-out

First year graduate studentssuffer from this same characteristic. In a recent survey about the material and energy balancecourse content, 100 % of the chemical engineering faculty who responded indicated that degreesof freedom is a concept taught9. Given the opportunity that faculty have to enable studentsthrough the use of the degrees of freedom concept, it is surprising that the degrees of freedomformalism is not used as a pervasive problem solving strategy throughout the chemicalengineering curriculum alongside other formalisms such as continuity
are fairly grouped together until attendance fallsbelow 40%. The flattest curve is for sophomore classes and might be due to the fact that thesubject textbooks for sophomores are more standard and therefore further developed than thespecialized senior courses. The other item of note is that the freshmen have the most linearrelationship between grades and attendance.Figure 4 is a plot of student grade vs. attendance for math intensive courses broken down byclass standing. The graph clearly shows for sophomores and juniors that increased attendanceresults in increased success in the course. The sophomore and junior plots are almost identicalwhich indicates that the rate of attendance corresponds with an equivalent level of success acrossthese

without beingphysically in contact with lab devices. Recently, the development of Internet technologiesfostered the spread of online laboratories, and significant benefits helped establish remoteexperimentation as a potential substitute to real experimentation. Internetworking labexperiments usually involve very expensive hardware; and providing remote access to this typeof laboratories is highly desired, especially when a large number of students must share a limitedset of devices. Very few remote internetworking laboratories have previously been implemented,and they had several drawbacks. In this paper, we discuss our design of a RemoteInternetworking Laboratory which provided access to the internetworking lab at the AmericanUniversity of
more applicable than historical ones.Hypothetical cases can be useful, but reality tends to have an intricacy that is hard to invent, andreal cases usually resist obvious and easy solutions. There are many classic historical cases, butcontemporary cases allow students to easily place themselves in the situation and claim a senseof ownership. Students may already know the basic facts of some real, contemporary ethicalcases, which are in abundant supply. The practice of engineering in the context of today’ssociety is an extremely complex enterprise and presents many ethical issues to study.4,5,6,7This article presents the findings from a survey given to first year engineering students.The authors developed the survey with the objective to

Thesemester system and instruction lectures on the software allow students to get familiar with morecomplicated software. On the other side, it is easy to learn some specific software since they areonly based on 2-D analysis or they have 2-D versions for specific type of problems such as planestrain problem. However, they are not as commonly utilized as a general FEM tool in themanufacturing world and most are still under development. 2-D models can also be created ingeneral analysis tools.IE 5351 cover both metallic and non-metallic processes in its limited scope.

Theprogram was also aimed at fostering student leadership roles within the department by allowingPi Tau Sigma, The National Mechanical Engineering Honor Society, to take the lead role in theprogram. Students involved in the program help solicit projects from the surroundingcommunity for development and prototyping in the senior design course, ME 450. Students inthe course benefit from the projects by learning to interact with community sponsors, usuallywithout technical training. Students also benefit by learning how to use their engineering skills tosolve everyday problems in a community service capacity. This paper will provide an overviewof the current

1.0, Bloom’s Original Taxonomy and a Simplified Version of Bloom’s TaxonomyEducators are very familiar with the concept presented in Bloom’s Taxonomy. The idea thatstudents can learn at different levels is a driving force in how educators develop and constructtheir lessons. We know that students can learn at a lower level where all they are able to do isrecognize the material; at a higher level they can repeat back what they have learned but at thehighest levels they are able to synthesize their knowledge to analyze and draw conclusions. Weall aspire to help students to reach the highest level which of course requires the greatestunderstanding of the topics and ideas.As a simplification in teaching engineering technology the six levels can be

Results by Kulkarni et al.highlighted that even in curricular based mentorship programs, peer mentors are often providingpsychosocial and professional community support, alongside supporting technical skilldevelopment [15]. While most of these early-support programs focus on peer or faculty support,some programs have integrated industry mentors [17,18]. Use of industry or alumni mentors canbe an exciting way to help students build their connection to the profession, but some believe
curving grades to fit a fixeddistribution, such as a normal curve, is considered demotivating and inequitable. [2]Overall, traditional grading is associated with unhealthy student-faculty relationships,academic dishonesty, and inefficiencies in faculty time utilization. [2]Grading for equity challenges the status quo, offering a departure from conventionalgrading practices that often rely on comparative assessments and standardized metrics. Atthe heart of any instructional or course policy is the desire to facilitate student learningand support their growth. The alternate grading policies discussed in this paper are aimedat further improving student learning, motivating students, reducing stress, and reducingcheating.Research has shown three

Following the activity, studentswere assigned an out of class, ~15 minute video with follow-up quiz to reemphasize the conceptslearned in class.During the activities, two faculty members and two graduate TAs circulated throughout the roomto answer questions.

This approach also satisfied our ABET design and build criteria.As of the writing of this paper, the flying wing (shown in Figure 2) is the concept that is furthestin development. To extend the range of the aircraft, students also have designed and built theirown batteries based on Li-ion technology. Initial estimates show that these batteries willapproximately double the range available from the conventional Li-poly batteries typically usedin radio control aircraft.

With the goal of rapid deployment of advanced nuclear energy to combat energy crises inthe coming decade, there follows a need for a well-trained and abundant workforce. As theindustry is developing and growing [3], now is an auspicious moment to re-envision what itmeans to be a nuclear engineer, so as to learn from historical failures and successes, disasters andpolitical climates and think critically about the formation of engineers. This work explores howbeliefs about knowledge and the role of the engineer shape the field and practice of nuclearengineering, from its birth out of 20th century physics and World War II to present-dayapplications. By looking at what nuclear engineers should know and how they

Identifying waysto use their current career situation as a steppingstone for future opportunities, goals, and dreamsmay be enough to sustain some women on their engineering pathway, despite their challenges[7]. Also, the more keenly aware organizations (educators, mentors, supervisors, human resourcemanagers) are of women heading down an exit ramp, the greater likelihood they can intervene.Research ObjectivesIn this study, we address the career development of women engineers, an important and integralaspect of engineering education. Specifically we seek to understand the career pathways anddecisions, particularly of
