Research has shown benefits toengineering students who engage in service learning as a part of their curriculum1,2. However,developing a SL class often requires a great deal of time in planning as well as a considerablebudget for implementing projects.In this paper, we demonstrate the development of a SL class that requires very little to no budget.This course could be used as a

The experiment should be easily understood and closely related to materialcovered in the lecture. The experiment should be the bridge that connects abstract class materialto reality. It should be universal in the sense that it brings together and makes use of different material learned in diverse subject matters.

The first and second authors havecollectively taught over forty courses via FEEDS. This extensive experience with televisedcourses has led to the understanding that the learning process in such an environment maybe somewhat more delicate than in a traditional classroom environment.II. BackgroundExperts have long noted that individuals may have several ways of learning, but that in mostcases one style predominates for a given person. Agogino and Hsi (1995), for example,suggest that instructors should use a variety of teaching materials (from lectures toexperiments to demonstrations to case

The need for improvement in threemain areas became clear after the 1998-99 school year. First, improvements were madein the integration of time management skills and assignments. Next, a greater emphasishas been placed on effective design reviews. Finally, the faculty members have begun toimplement tools to aid in team
lessons learned as a partof the Academy educational experience. The project has been offered to seniors andjuniors majoring in Electrical Engineering in a senior design course and an independentstudy course. A team of two students has participated in the project during the pastacademic year and one new team is taking the challenge this year. The essential goal ofthe project is to design and create a wheeled robot which navigates through a maze Page 3.286.1searching for a fire, simulated by a burning candle, detects the candle light, extinguishesthe flame, and returns to a designated location in the maze. To accomplish this goal,students must integrate

on existing models In addition to teaching CAD-related skills, the FORM curriculum also covers differentengineering design concepts. Previous researchers have suggested that the most importantlearning goal of CAD education is to teach students that design is a process [4]. We need to teachstudents not only how to use CAD software, but also to understand the whole process ofdesigning and developing with CAD. To this end, the FORM curriculum also includes thefollowing specific topics: ● Product Data Management: Students will learn how to manage their documentation ● Reverse Engineering: students will learn to model based on existing physical objects ● Prototyping and Manufacturing Methods: Students will learn about different fabrication

composition pedagogy to argue that engineering education can beimproved through writing. In other words, writing is a powerful tool to help teachstudents engineering concepts, not just grammar. This essay first outlines the theory andpurpose behind the use of writing in content courses such as engineering. It also discusseshow such methods improve students’ communication skills, as well as teach them theconcepts of the course. Near the end, the essay describes several strategies that use thetheories outlined. In this section, I suggest several writing assignments that can be gearedspecifically toward engineering education, such as freewriting journaling, and discussionboard posting.
