sizableinvestment.Innovative approaches have been adopted to accommodate the number of students in order toprovide each student with a hands-on experience. The traditional approach to laboratoryexercises required a scheduled lab period during which the class, or part of the class, met with theinstructor or lab assistant and completed the exercise. This approach requires a large number ofworkstations or lab periods to accommodate the enrollment. Second, the time each studentspends in lab is limited to the duration of the lab period. In “Sensors and Transducers”laboratory-type homework requiring students to use laboratory equipment to complete theassignment has been used as an alternative to scheduled lab periods. This arrangement increasesthe time the student has

activities are essentially nolonger possible. Mechanical Engineering Design (i.e., Machine Design) at California StateUniversity Chico normally facilitates a semester-long design and fabrication project to givestudents a real-world engineering experience. As an alternative, this paper considers theeffectiveness and benefit of focusing on the documentation and presentation of engineeringanalysis and design work rather than hands-on projects. In a series of activity assignments,students are required to compose short technical reports which document their engineeringanalysis in professional form. Each subsequent assignment had an increased level of analysiscomplexity and documentation which related to the course material. A mid-semester survey

Theinstructor was available for questions and to help recognize potential issues but refrainedfrom offering suggestions during the design phase. As heat transfer or fluid mechanicscourses typically follow thermodynamics the project was not intended to be a capstone,but did provide valuable experience from which a student could build from in a futuresenior design project. The project also provided an opportunity to present a qualitative

‚" Signal analysis ‚" Data visualization/presentation One of the main criteria for the choice of software was the ease of interfacing and communicating with data acquisition hardwares. The duration for this project was only 13-weeks, careful decision on the choice of software had to be made prior to the start of the course. To reiterate, one of the main objectives of this project design was to allow students to write software codes for data acquisition, measurements and perform some fundamental signal processing, namely the FFT etc. The students were expected to have a hands-on learning experience with regard to issues such as A/D conversion, sampling, signal processing implementation etc and a firm grasp of those mentioned.

of essential notions of intellect, drive, and self-discipline thatcenter on bodily ‘normalcy’” [8]. Notions of engineering skill have assumptions about “capable”bodies and minds built into them [12]. For example, to be seen as proficient at circuit design andtesting in an electrical engineering lab, one is expected to have the manual dexterity tomanipulate centimeter-long resistors and capacitors and the visual acuity to see small details upclose. A students’ demonstration that they understand the workings of a circuit is often conflatedwith the physical act of circuit-making in the laboratory. In such instances, lack of physicaldexterity or visual sharpness may be interpreted as lack of proficiency at engineering tasks.Because of the

Alternatively, the course could be structured toteach algorithmic thought processes (10, 14, 20, 31-34). No one way is best and anycomputing course should address all three to some extent. The implementation of acomputing course, however, does need to be tailored to the objectives and backgroundsof the students.

We also have a feedback form that each student fills outthroughout the laboratory module.

are the types of experiences that allow for more real-worldconnections and have less of an emphasis on getting a specific correct answer. Similarly, gradedexams, which are explicitly focused on extrinsic performance outcomes, had the lowest ratingsfor curiosity. It was interesting that homework assignments were not rated more negatively, asthey typically involve similarly structured activities designed to elicit a correct answer. This mayindicate that students sometimes see homework as an opportunity to dive deeper into what waslearned in class, and as more of a learning opportunity than a summative assessment. Studentsseemed to favor homework assignments where multiple possible answers would be accepted,potentially putting more priority on

on how to use the lab equipment and calculate the results. This approach is notthe best way to prepare the students for the reality of professional engineering practice.It can be difficult for faculty to devote time in providing exceptional design and appliedexperiences to undergraduates while also trying to develop their research. Often facultymembers find that these priorities compete for their time. This is particularly difficult for youngfaculty. Further, young faculty members increasingly have extremely limited work experience inthe engineering profession. This has led to a gap between what universities are teaching, andwhat engineers are expected to know in industry.1 Engineers in industry spend much timeworking on complex system

The positive learning experience in turn influenced their comfort for teachingSTEM, the efficacy for teaching STEM, their pedagogical discontentment associated withSTEM, and their inquiry implementation.

Many of them did nothave experience editing wikis before this course and their technical writing was most likely inthe form of traditional laboratory reports.
