Onemethod that is particularly attractive to engineers is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA is anobjective approach to evaluating the

Session # 1793Learning Science and Technology R&D: A Roadmap to the Future of Learning Kay Howell, Alfred Moye Federation of American Scientists/Hewlett Packard Corporation (retired)New information technology tools make it possible to implement the insights ofmodern cognitive science and achieve revolutionary improvements in how we teachand learn. In fact, it may not be practical to implement some of the recommendationsof cognitive scientists such as discovery-based learning and individualized counselingand tutoring without technology. But, the breadth and scale of the research effort tofully realize such gains demands a significant
developing problem solving skills in chemical engineering.Many engineering educators and industry partners emphasize the need for students to apply theirknowledge to new and challenging problems.2 In order to do so, students must learn withunderstanding.3 A lack of conceptual understanding has been shown to severely restrict students’ability to solve new problems, since they do not have the functional understanding to use theirknowledge in new situations.4 However, science and engineering classrooms often rewardstudents more for rote learning than for conceptual understanding.5, 6 There is clearly a need formore emphasis on conceptual understanding and concept-based instruction.We report on the first year investigation of the innovation decision

During the fall semester, the course instructors presentlectures and the students complete mini-projects, which introduce students to the design processand methods such as weight sizing and constraint sizing. Additionally, the students attendedthree lab sessions dedicated to understanding the role of stakeholders in the design of an aircraftand approaches for integrating stakeholder considerations into the design process. In the springsemester, students separate into teams to develop a solution to a Request-for-Proposals (RFP)selected by the course instructors. The instructors utilized the RFP developed by the AmericanInstitute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) as the specification for the final projects and asa summative assessment

Due to the internal resistance of common 9-voltbatteries and the current drawn by the motors, a separate 9-V power pack was employed to powerthe DC motors to prevent (1) underpowering the Arduino during times of high current demand (2)overheating the Arduino’s on-board voltage regulator, and (3) accidentally violating any of theArduino’s individual pins max current rating.

On average, 60% ofstudents entering this university are first generation college students. The school is an entrancepoint for those who have not previously considered higher education. In a high technology area,there are both job opportunities and a culture of engineering innovation. Given these realities,the College of Engineering sees itself as the vanguard of attracting underrepresented students forits region.2.

. Recognizing this disconnect,some in the discipline have begun reaching out beyond the ivory tower, to talk about thepractical applications of their discussions for concrete environmental policies6,7.The clear motivation to increase exposure of civil engineering students to content beyondtraditional technical civil engineering skills has created a number of approaches to accomplishthis objective. Three common approaches are (1) requiring humanities courses to be taken asgeneral education requirements as part of the Bachelor of Science degree, (2) exposing civilengineering students to the humanities in civil engineering courses taught by broadly read civilengineering professors8, and (3) introducing modules or blocks of learning in the civilengineering
