introduce Dominican high school students to the logical process of designingexperiments to construct knowledgeexcellent tools for introducing students to the exciting field of rocket science. They havebeen used extensively in formal and informal classroom settings in the USA, but we arenot aware of similar efforts in Dominican classrooms. Rocket science does not appear tobe an element of high school science curricula in the Dominican Republic (DR). Newton’slaws are treated in a limited way in some science textbooks intended for high school, butthe students involved in the pilot program were unfamiliar with the laws. Furthermore,public and private K-12 schools in the DR do not integrate engineering and technologycurricula. MACILE, which stands for

the testplan that validates and supports it. We realize that entire textbooks and courses havebeen devoted to this topic, but, often, an engineering program does not have room for astandalone course on this topic. In our institutions, we elected to emphasize and allowstudents to practice some of the basic tenets and proper procedures of testing anddocumentation in several senior and graduate level design, microcontroller and hardwaredescriptive language courses. In this paper we will briefly review the basic tenets oftesting and documentation and present some innovative methods of extracting test datafrom a hardware/software based project often found in a digital controller based system.We discuss how these tenets and techniques were adopted
freshman-level introductory course and a moreadvanced medical electronics course of our Biomedical Engineering program and measuredstudents’ performance on exams as well as students’ perceptions. The data was analyzed todetermine if we could detect performance improvements in the two cohorts and how the flippedclassroom approach was received by student cohorts at different stages of their college training.2. MethodsThe flipped classroom model was implemented in two one-semester courses of theundergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. The first course was a “Medical Electronics”course that is required within the curriculum and is attended in the Spring semester by juniorsand seniors within our program.

Lohani is a Professor of Engineering Education and also serves as the Director of education and global initiatives at an interdisciplinary research institute called the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS) at Virginia Tech.

renewable energy resources in particular. The idea of theprogram is to expose what engineers do and how they try to solve problems that the world isfacing now. Compare to other programs with similar nature, this program is unique in its purelyhands on approach. In this approach the level of lecturing is minimized and the students discoverthe principles behind each system themselves. Although the effectiveness of this approach hasnot been compared to other approaches, the growing interest in the program each year and theincrease of enrolment indicate the relative success of the program (at least qualitatively if notquantitatively!).There were eleven students from 9th to 11th grades in the class. The majority of them werefemale. As expected from

Two-day, interactive, hands-on codingworkshops train researchers to work with data, and have reached over 34,000 researchers,ranging from biologists to physicists to engineers and economists. Researchers have benefitedfrom evidence-based teaching approaches to learning data organization (spreadsheets), cleaning(OpenRefine), management (SQL), analysis and visualization (R and Python).This paper presents the long-term survey results showing the impact that short-format workshopshave for increasing learner's skills and confidence in their coding abilities.

As one student suggested on the mid-semester course survey we conducted, providing students with a new programming concept, some related context, and then applied activities involving that concept within that context would be a great approach to integrating these diverse types of knowledge. Weaving the material together that tightly can be done, but it is complex work that requires expert knowledge of the student learning patterns at play. We are confident that we can do this next year. Secondly, students struggled with the analytical portion of their final projects. They carried out the technical work (to varied success, as is to be expected), but their reasoning for attempting specific types

IntroductionEngineering educators are struggling with the question of how to most effectively utilizetechnology, multimedia and the WWW to enhance engineering education. In the subject area ofdynamics one of the most natural applications of multimedia has been in the use ofsimulations1,2. Dynamics textbooks often include a CD-ROM with simulations. For example,Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics by Hibbler3 has over 120 simulation models.Often these models are of example problems or homework problems and allow students to varyparameters to hopefully explore the problem more fully. In the author’s personal experience,these sorts of

An assessment plan, to be executed during Spring 2011, will measurestudent mastery of learning outcomes specific to the field of biomaterials science andthose set forth by ABET for undergraduate Chemical Engineering programs. 1. Introduction Biomaterials have received considerable attention over the past 30 years. A biomaterial has been defined as a material intended to interface with a biological system to evaluate, treat, augment, or replace any tissue organ or function in the body (1). Therefore, the study of biomaterials encompasses the study of materials science, medicine, and biology. It is estimated that over 11 million

The student body at UDM is nearly sixty percent women, and over forty percentstudents from underrepresented groups. Enrolment in introductory physics courses that are partof various engineering undergraduate programs, broadly reflect this diversity.This paper represents an attempt by the authors to further incorporate a more student-centeredapproach to the subject through the use of in-class exercises that promote critical thinking andcollaborative learning.

This project familiarized students with theMatlab/Simulink based software platform for the implementation of hardware-in-the-loopsystems, and improved their understanding of the social impact of engineering solutions.1.
