The historicalpremise is based on the highly competitive expansion ofvery tall structures such as the Chrysler Building (NewYork City) in the early part of the 20th century (figure 1).This expansion was enabled by new structural materials andbuilding processes. The exercise is to design, build andtest a model skyscraper using a variety of foam blocks andpencils as the fasteners. Each size of foam block is pricedsuch that the
Competency-Based Assessment in DynamicsAbstractThis paper examines the effectiveness and limitations of implementing a competency-basedgrading system in Engineering Dynamics. Rather than assessing the students on how well theyperformed the many skills studied (traditional grading system) students were assessed on howmany skills they can do well (competency or mastery-based grading).To earn a passing grade in the competency-based grading system, students demonstratedproficiency on two foundational skills for dynamic analysis. Proficiency required solving aproblem in a test environment, assessed as correct or containing only trivial errors. In ourcurriculum, prerequisites are met with a grade of C- or higher. To earn this grade, students musthave

discussion.IntroductionThere is a growing body of literature within the engineering education community about how tohelp teachers learn to teach engineering at the elementary level. Much of what we know comesin the form of what has worked for particular programs, the use of well-tested curricula,standards for teachers of engineering, and an emphasis on engineering habits of mind andengineering design processes [1-4]. That said, there is much more work to be done. According tothe most recent National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education (NSSME+; with +referring to an additional focus on computer science) report few elementary teachers feelprepared to teach engineering [5]. Specifically, only 3% of elementary teachers felt very wellprepared, 14% felt fairly well

Technological Education (NSF-ATE) program has a unique focus on two-year colleges and technician education. However, the funding rate for the program recently declined to 22% and the proposal submission process is complex. NSF also has an agency-wide mission to encourage diverse populations to participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Mentor-Connect: Leadership Development and Outreach Initiative for ATE project, NSF DUE #1204463 and #1501183 awarded to Florence-Darlington Technical College, Florence, South Carolina, offers an efficient way for prospective principal investigators to learn effective proposal preparation strategies specific to this funding program and to receive cost-free
topicof color-blindness in engineering education. We developed this paper through a series ofconversations held over multiple months, where we explored the different dimensions of Bonilla-Silva’s color-blind racism theory and shared stories about experiences of discrimination andracism we have experienced or seen first-hand, and discussed whether they fit into theframework, or whether they constituted other (one might say “non-colorblind”) forms of racism.Some stories we experienced contemporaneously to our discussions, while others we did not.While we had a wealth of contemporary material from which to choose, we strived to select thestories that were most oriented to the dimensions and situated in engineering education itself.We now address

Kimmy seems to work hard, but suggests that her grades are not as high as shewould hope them to be. In addition to focusing on her classes, Kimmy also seems to be interested in participating in non-engineering related social extracurricular activities.

Participantsalso acknowledged two negative phenomena that may come as a result of ethical followership –that is, mourning the loss of material or symbolic resources, as well as reflecting on missedopportunities to do the right thing (or to do it sooner).Protecting Yourself Over the course of a career, a professional engineer can expect to face a variety of ethicaldilemmas, an experience that by itself can be mentally and emotionally draining. As Barnabydescribed, “Engineers may not realize it, but every hour of the day there are ethical dilemmasthat can slap you in the face!” When a leader pressures an engineer to do something unethical,those ethical dilemmas become even more difficult to cope with and respond to

lost to student group formation. At the mid-point and conclusion of the semester-long course, students were asked to complete surveys which assessed their opinion on the course structure, the value of the various types of learning activities used and the benefit of the active learning sessions in general. Results show that students felt the problem-solving activities helped them “understand/apply course material and/or learn more about biomedical engineering” better than the research-based and hands-on activities. Correlating student assessments with demographical information revealed significant effects of gender, age group, learning style, and study habits. This study provides an example of an
