for engineering. The boundaries ofdesign move from a product or process to the complexity of a larger social, political,environmental, economic, global, historical and future system. Clearly simultaneouslyconsidering all these dimensions is a tall order, underscoring the need for engineers tocollaborate across traditional boundaries.However, traditional engineering curricula focus on providing the parts of knowledge and skillsbelieved to be required for engineering. To be sure, engineering programs provide opportunities(i.e. courses) for students to integrate these parts through application and design. Our measuresof student mastery often focus on understanding and application, as can be seen in theFundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. These

Paths to Learning: Understanding how students utilize online instructional resources in an introductory engineering graphics courseABSTRACT This presentation focuses on an ongoing instructional innovation research and development project centered around an introductory engineering graphics course. Over the past few years, the researchers have looked at ways that pedagogical innovations could be used to both improve instruction and do so more efficiently with fewer resources. These goals has led to the creation of pilot sections of the course that are “hybrid”—meeting one day and week and then having students use an online learning management system (i.e., Moodle) for

Session 1532 Understanding Loading in Feedback Amplifier Analysis Manuel Toledo-Quiñones Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez, Puerto RicoIntroductionThe application of negative feedback concepts to the analysis and design of electronic amplifiersis widely recognized as one of the most important subjects in electrical engineering curricula.Most electrical engineering students are exposed to feedback theory in courses primarily focusedon systems and automatic controls
stemming the trend. We suggested that engineering required too much abstractmathematics, too many hours to graduate, was too structured in format, had too little “design”,and required more “real engineering” in the early semesters. Our presidents and academic vicepresidents looked at engineering retention figures and suggested that if only our programs weremodified to improve retention, all would be well. The problem is that we did those things withoutnoticeable effects. Engineering students may have become “more fulfilled” as some would sayand hopefully the quality and ability to work in the environment of the 21st century was improved.But the quantity of B.S. degrees did not go up; it went down.Since our efforts have not produced the desired

In thisview, formative assessment is fundamentally about attention to the disciplinary substance ofstudents’ understandings and ways of participating in class.In this paper, we explore what this “disciplinary substance” is in engineering design and discusschallenges instructors may face assessing and responding to their students’ work. First, wereview and synthesize the research literature to point out different aspects of students’engineering design that the community has proposed as targets of instruction. Second, to explorethese aspects in context, we analyze
less than 2% of high schoolstudents correctly understand diffusion after completing a biology or chemistry course. [8] Wewould expect similar numbers for college engineering and science students based on research byHestenes that misconceptions developed in elementary and secondary schools persist intocollege. [9]Consider the simple experiment of adding a droplet of colored dye into a beaker of quiescentwater. What we see at the macroscopic level is slow movement (diffusion) of dye into the wateruntil the resulting dye/water mixture has the same color throughout the beaker. At this point(equilibrium) no further movement of dye is apparent to the naked eye. As shown in the leftcolumn of Table 1, this experiment can be (incorrectly) described

What type of research activitiescould enhance each of these instructional development strategies? We suggest that one way tomake significant progress is to better understand the teaching challenges and concerns of thefaculty because strategies that address specific needs of engineering faculty are more likely to beadopted, adapted, and sustained.In this paper, we report on some of our ongoing work to identify engineering faculty teachingchallenges and needs. The work is informed by the tenets of user-centered design, specifically anearly and critical

critically. Our educational strategy,therefore, is to strengthen low-level cognitive skills in sophomores and juniors that provide aproper foundation on which high-level cognitive skills can be developed. We describe teachingand learning devices that exercise low-level cognitive skills and that support effectivedevelopment of critical thinking. Assessment instruments that monitor student growth andevaluate the effectiveness of these teaching and learning devices are also described.Introduction Engineering undergraduates are expected to apply “critical thinking skills” to solvecomprehensive problems. For example, ABET criterion 3c states that graduates must have “anability to design a system, component, or process,” which involves the integration
