Facets of some of theselaboratories have been described in prior publications because these learning experiences hadbeen previously used as test cases for earlier portable instrumentation developed by KSU facultyin collaboration with faculty at East Carolina University [13-15]. These five scripted laboratorieswere followed by a wearable electrocardiograph (ECG) project that incorporated elements of theprior labs and offered a significant design component. While students also used the AD2 unitsduring this ECG project, the project itself is not described here because (a) the first

Theinterview script and research question are both specific (Appendix A). This leads to theconclusion that three interviews are enough to reach saturation for the purposes of this study.The participants’ identities were kept confidential from all faculty members through a 2-step de-identification schema that is kept on a password-protected server, per IRB approval#1807353208.

. Aftermoving to Grand Valley State University, I found myself teaching Statics again. To make thecourse more interesting, I decided to explore some creative teaching methods. Some explorationof departmental resources made it clear that computers would be a good avenue to pursue. Uponexamination of the available equipment, it became obvious that it would be possible to makeextensive use of computers in teaching. Not only were faculty well equipped, but the student tocomputer ratio was 5: 1. In the end the course was developed to include extensive computer use inand out of class.It is my intention to describe my experiences, and make suggestions to other faculty thinking ofusing computer tools to support their classroom activities.1.1 - Computer Use In

As noted by Petroski, “Engineering history is useful, if not essen-tial, to understanding the nature of engineering.”(1) Because of the importance of engi-neering history for civil engineering students, the newest version of the Body of Know-ledge (BOK) includes an outcome on “contemporary issues and historical perspectives.”To meet this outcome at the undergraduate
institution,Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, for incoming first-year engineering students. The paper is theresult of early steps in the implementation of a longer-term, NSF-funded research project thatextends the inquiry to the development of students’ understanding of ethics over the entire arc oftheir undergraduate educational experience [1].Our argument unfolds in five steps. In the section that follows this introduction, we situate ourinquiry within the broader field of engineering ethics research, connecting in particular to workon “macroethics” [2] as it intersects with scholarly work in our primary fields of science andtechnology studies (STS) and engineering studies. The next section reviews in greater detail thisproject’s research design

While these rates fell short of matching the school itself,compared to those earning engineering degrees across the nation (13% minority, 18% female1),the academy was an overwhelming success in diversity.The learning modelOriginally unable to afford canned curricula, two of the school’s science teachers – one of whomhad a degree in engineering, the other with a background in the construction industry – weretasked with creating the lesson plans. Though neither had experience with engineering education,faculty members from the partnering college provided guidance. Rather than simply focusing onthe development of

a variety of“longitudinal” studies. We have proposed a variety of approaches, but by and large have solvedthe wrong problems and missed addressing the actual one. Our efforts have been basically futilebecause we do not understand in detail how the educational system works.The purpose of this paper is to present the development of an analytical system model thatdescribes the fundamental operation of the B.S. educational system. Once such a model isidentified it is then possible to set about analyzing its operation and revealing the relationships thatgovern the process of producing B.S. graduates. Only then can we define the problem in concreteterms and propose program activities that truly address the need
