Although this item is usually very hard to assess, the students have shown that they worked professionally together, and they gave credit to every source that they relied on in solving the given problem.(g) an ability to communicate effectively. The students have shown their communication abilities and skills through the written proposal, written final report, poster presentation and the oral presentations.(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a globaland societal context. The students strongly believe that it is engineering that changes the world.(i) a

Panel configuration testing involved a parametric investigation of the chargingcharacteristics of two types of batteries (different amp-hour ratings). Testing variables included(1) the number of batteries to be charged, (2) the time to "fully" charge, (3) the solar panelconfiguration (i.e. number of panels and panel electrical arrangement), and (4) the

Responses to question 3 are Page 5.403.10somewhat limited due to reasons mentioned in conjunction with question 1. Question 4 represents a major challenge. “Why is this being talked about here?”frequently comes up in discussion. Sometimes I as an instructor wonder why I bring itup. I bring it up in the hopes that some will be inspired to think about the subjectbeyond the class. Question 5 is usually handled fairly well. The Utilitarian view generally leads toworkable
support teaching and learning activities, a struggle for educators isdetermining which tools work best for different scenarios and teaching approaches [19-21]. Supporting factors that influence teaching and learning activities include learningenvironments, lecturer competences, learning media, curriculum, teaching materials, facilities, andinfrastructure [22]. Teacher competency, facilities, and adequate infrastructure become supportingfactors for successful implementation [23,24]. To achieve excellence in online teaching andincrease student retention, best practices should be adopted to develop high quality onlinematerials that can additionally be used in resident instruction [23,25].

One can then "prune” the tree and select the“best” possible design structure. This method can also be applied to other fields of engineering.1. IntroductionIn recent years, teaching engineering design is getting more attention in engineering education. Thisis due to the ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 initiatives, which have changed the way instructorsdelivered their courses. In electrical engineering, ABET requires that all electrical engineering coursesintegrate design throughout the curriculum, and now there is also a need to demonstrate outcomeassessment, and to check whether a program achieved

In particular, we willexamine the classification and role of various idea generation techniques through the lens ofproblem solving, which lies clearly within the cognitive domain. Using Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory11, we will also describe the relationship between idea generationtechniques and a designer’s psychological inertia, and discuss their combined impact in theearly stages of engineering design.Fall 2010 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 15-16, 2010, Villanova UniversityPsychological inertia is defined as the tendency of an individual to consider only thosesolutions that fall within his or her familiar solution space

Employing an intensive,problem-based approach helps develop this proficiency in a limited time. We recommend thatthe students receive clear, consistent, and reasonably complete assignments provided by thelaboratory instructor. It is important that the students continue through all phases of eachassignment, and fully engage in solving problems as they encounter them.
