Course web sites give studentsaccess to supplemental learning materials1, an ability to dialog with other students and faculty onforums2, and even tutorial movies ranging from working through homework problems to usingmodeling or computational programs related to the course3. In addition, there has been a flood ofinterest in and funding of engineering education research. One would assume that with all ofthese advances and focused attention that student academic success would be growingexponentially. In fact, many

A collection ofmechanical, electrical, and software components can be designed or purchased ahead oftime independent of a particular project’s needs. These components can then be drawnupon to rapidly develop complex systems. In addition, knowledge and design decisionsspecific to one particular engineering discipline can be encapsulated in a modularcomponent, allowing the entire design team to address the issues related to componentintegration.We have applied this component-oriented design approach to the multidisciplinarydesign of autonomous mobile robots. Students applying this method have successfullydeveloped an autonomous bipedal walking robot
. • Course goals – broad, general statements that establish the direction of the course. Couse goals are not generally measureable. They should be clearly linked to program goals. For example, a goal of an Engineering Statistics course can be described as: “ Equip the student with skills in probability and statistics so that they are prepared to apply these skills in civil engineering coursework and build upon these skills through further study in probability and statistics.” • Course objectives – more specific than goals and address achievable, measurable skills, knowledge, and attitudes that students will need to acquire. Course objective may be further broken down into lesson, module, or unit objectives. The objectives of

Students have shared that they have benefited fromthese examples based on my experience in extra-curricular engineering activities and research.Particularly in the freshman engineering program, I wanted to share with students how thematerial they were learning in the course could be used for more advanced applications inengineering.

hands-on research project has been a valuableexperience throughout the semester because the student was able to use it to connect the lecturecontent to a real-life, hands-on project. Although the project was not at a stage where failuretheories, or the use of specific equations was appropriate, the student was able to learn aboutthese concepts in a traditional educational setting and begin to plan out the remainder of theapplication phase to incorporate these lessons. The use of the experiential learning model createdan environment that allowed the student to further their understanding of engineering conceptsintroduced during a formal classroom setting.References[1] Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, “New Poll: Voters Support
