This allows theinvestment in expensive hardware and development to efficiently span multiple levels and coursesand benefit a large student population. In all core undergraduate courses in the University ofColorado Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences department, students take a hands-on role togather real data in order to compare and contrast to their predictive models

distinctly unique examples of project-based learning.BackgroundIn 1970, Worcester Polytechnic Institute adopted The WPI Plan, a project-based educationalphilosophy that requires students to complete three term-length research projects, adviseddirectly by faculty, during their undergraduate careers [1]. During their junior year, studentsgenerally complete their “Interactive Qualifying Project” (IQP). This is a critical time in astudent’s professional development, as junior-year students have the technical skills necessaryfor a productive research project, but likely have little research experience and are close enoughto graduation to be seriously thinking about the future and focusing more on academic work [2,3]. The final requirement is the “Major

A pilot study was carried out by designing an OWLS-basedlearning task and implementing it within a senior level Environmental Science classroomfor exploring personalized learning and engagement within the OWLS. Informed by theengagement theory and the literatures on learning analytics, the study follows a pre-experimental research design where students completed the OWLS-based learning taskfollowed by a post-survey within the in-class time. Results indicate that students’learning scores are significantly related to the time students were spending outside theOWLS for completing the OWLS-based task.

One effort is to utilize a first-semester “gateway” class to introduce measurement concepts as a way to foster furthermeasurement emphasis throughout the curriculum. The organization is using modernizedteaching methods that are “research-proven, state-of-the-art teaching methods that are different,fun, challenging and more effective.” This gateway class attempts to integrate nearly all facets ofthe measurement lab into the learn-by-doing activities to provide a fun, unparalleled experiencefor the first-time students. Activities in the class include micrometer calibration using gaugeblocks, a study of springs using a height gauge and mass standards, pressure and forcemeasurements of footballs, load-displacement

, while also allowing them to develop these skills and personal style through trialand error during the research and design process. The primary learning objectives are: 1) toenable students to engage in real engineering design and lab research; and 2) to developproficiency with select genres associated with that research. The educational research objectivesare: 1) to study students’ developing proficiency in order to generate best practices for teachingand learning scientific documentation, i.e., how to perform lab notebooks; and 2) to betterunderstand the contribution of scientific documentation to the teaching and learning of theengineering design and experimentation process.Because there is scant prior research and because guidance appears to
