must be some way to assess the value of whatever they learned.• Rewards other than grades, student recognition Rewards, other than grades, are great motivators. Student recognition will always go further to motivate a student than grades. Unfortunately, most student recognition is based on better grades. We bestow scholarships, awards, prizes and even privileged status on the students almost always based on the best grades. That’s the official student recognition. A professor can bestow recognition on a student in class too. Speak to students as if they are equal partners in the industry. Let them choose their own topics to research, have them set up their own groups and run their own clubs. Even have them decide
Research on student understanding of engineering statics: The development of instructional materials to improve student understanding of center of mass AbstractUniversity students who have studied physics at the introductory level and beyond are oftenunable to apply basic concepts from mechanics to account for the motion of an extended object.Findings from an in-depth, systematic investigation were used to guide the design of curriculumto address the underlying conceptual and reasoning difficulties. Ongoing assessment was anintegral part of the development cycle. The instructional sequence that evolved from thisiterative process has proved effective in helping students learn to

The assessment data obtained from the pilot at SIT indicatedthat the students improved their knowledge of the concepts taught in the lecture component ofthe class and expressed general satisfaction with this laboratory approach.52 The results of theassessment study furthermore suggest that game-based learning environments have the potentialfor developing into an educationally viable complement to traditional pedagogical tools and Page 14.1032.10warrant further investigation (see Figure 8). 9Figure 8: Comparison of test results to evaluate learning
. Further data assessing impact of these labactivities on the broader curriculum is yet to be gathered.VII. Limitations and Future OpportunitiesWhile overall successful in student learning outcomes, interest, and engagement, we identifiedseveral limitations and future opportunities. • Students spend much of the course building prescribed circuits and relatively little time designing new circuits. This was required due to the short 7-week course duration, and students reported appreciation of the well-defined and well-organized labs given the fast pace. The open-ended sensor project does give a small experience in circuit design, construction, testing, and troubleshooting. However, a longer 14-week semester or 10

In this process, the researchers from the nationallaboratories develop webinar introductions to each problem and provide professors with a rubricby which to assess the final product of the project—a 5‒7 page proposal describing a solution toone of the three problems. For their participation, professors receive a certificate and the chanceto visit a national laboratory, whereas student teams get to attend a final competition with theirtravel expenses covered. By leading the competition, national laboratories benefit fromreviewing student submissions and providing mentorship and internship opportunities to studentswith the most compelling solutions.

learning processes that lead to these outcomes [4], [5].CURE, as a course-based experience with pre-defined learning outcomes, is very amenable tooutcomes-focused research using surveys, test-based assessments, and grade-point averages [6].However, URE does not have the same kind of set learning goals; the primary goals of the UREcontext are the knowledge-production goals of the working laboratory. Learning here will, ofcourse, be a more organic by-product of the enculturation of students into scientific (andengineering) practice. Graduate research experiences are akin to URE in terms of difficulty toassess learning outcomes. Rather than focusing on outcomes defined from the start, we usecognitive-ethnographic methods to understand the social

This experience demonstrates that through innovation, some of the engineering laboratory courses can be taught remotely without sacrificing any experiments.1. Introduction One of the most meaningful measures of an engineering program is for its graduates to be able to perform from the first day on the job. It is only through a fine interplay of the theory and practice that such an outcome can be achieved. Hence, it is imperative that when developing courses and curricula, we keep a theory to practice outcome in mind. What distinguishes the new graduates in
