Session 1639 IMPLEMENTING “STUDENT LEARNING TEAMS” IN ENGINEERING ECONOMICS Robert Martinazzi University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown ABSTRACTUniversities constantly strive to provide students with a solid education in their discipline. Thereal challenge in obtaining this goal is the creation of an educational environment thatstimulates and encourages student learning. The key to establishing this dynamic learningenvironment involves engendering in students a deep personal sense of ownership of
Session 2461 Teaching Engineers How to Make A Difference: Integration of Public Policy Concepts into Engineering Curricula Betsy Ennis Dulin Marshall University College of Information Technology and EngineeringAbstractEngineers, regardless of their areas of specialization, routinely are involved in projects withbroad public policy implications. For example, engineers usually play a leading role in thedesign, permitting, and construction of controversial facilities. In addition, the design anddevelopment of any new technology

Lesson contextDuring the design phase of the PD, the teachers spent some time developing parts of their lessonunits working in pairs. They were then given opportunities to share their ideas with peers duringthe PD. During the lesson sharing sessions, they received feedback and suggestions that could beused to help them make changes or further develop their units.Rachel designed a lesson unit on cell division and implemented it across two class periods (45minutes per period

Theyalso learned to reframe problems – for example one group made a breakthrough whenthey redefined their system as human-instrument, rather than two separate systems.PBL-type courses also allow students to confront real-world non-technical problems suchas managing projects and documenting progress. Each group managed a website wherethey documented their progress and used post-its to track action items.The biomusic project, however, was wicked in another way. There were real constraintscoming from multiple sources. Some constraints were internal and of a logistical ortechnical nature (e.g. assignment deadlines, requirement of real

Both projects requirestudents to act as working engineers in industry, developing a process “recipe” for a newmanufacturing process while managing a virtual budget. Throughout the three-week projectperiod, student teams meet weekly with a course instructor who acts as a coach. These meetingsare termed “coaching sessions.” At the first coaching session, called the Design Memo Meeting(DMM), the students are required to bring a

learning in social-cognitive behavior are “(1) the behavioral model, (2)the consequences of the modeled behaviors, (3) the learner’s internal processes, and (4) perceivedself-efficacy” 13. The behavioral model serves three purposes: to pass key information on to theobserver or learner; to increase or decrease the likelihood of particular behaviors; and todemonstrate new patterns of behavior. The consequences of modeled behaviors include vicariousconsequences (related to the observed behaviors of others) and self-imposed consequences (self-reinforcement such as self-prescribed standards of behavior or reinforcing events under thecontrol of the individual). Playing a key role in social-cognitive theory are the cognitive processesof the learner

As one proceeds through the process, it becomes evident that thisproject is labyrinth of personnel and management challenges. This paper illuminates thiscapstone course designed to teach undergraduate mechanical engineering students the landscapeof design and how engineering design is practiced in industry.Course DesignThis course is designed to include a common lecture hour each week where all the studentsenrolled in a mechanical engineering capstone design course are expected to attend.
