student interest and learningAbstractThroughout Africa, population growth has caused enormous strain to the natural and constructedenvironment. Throughout the world, there is increased attention on the importance of developingsustainable solutions to urgent and interrelated problems of society. Students in all disciplinesneed effective and robust education in sustainability, and that requires an increasedunderstanding of global systems. Developing useful skills through the application ofsustainability principles to engineering topics is a challenge, let alone understanding andapplying agricultural, energy, legal, political, cultural, biological and economic sustainabilityconcepts. For engineering students and educators to meet this challenge
theexperimentations and/or projects [1-5]. The ABET [6] recently updated the "student outcomes"related to hands-on labs and/or design projects, such as outcome (3): “communicate effectivelywith a range of audiences” and outcome (6): "develop and conduct appropriate experimentation,analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions". Outcome (6)creates a new requirement for engineering educators, when compared with old outcomes (b) and(k), to assess students’ use of engineering judgement and their ability to conclude the outcomesof the labs and/or projects.This poses following research question for engineering educators looking to address the newaddition in ABET assessment: In the context of two junior-level engineering courses, how

During this endeavor,students learn, verify, and reinforce theoretical concepts by performing experiments through theproject experience. In our approach we adopted the principles of the problem-learningmethodology. The design experience develops the students’ lifelong learning skills, self

LabSim wasdeveloped to provide third-year electrical engineering students with an avenue for independentexploration beyond theory-heavy lectures and strictly controlled labs. The pedagogical approachthen was to offer LabSim as a completely voluntary ancillary tool, with no involvement in lab ortutorial assignments, in order to minimize additional workload. While a student survey showedthat LabSim accomplished its main goal of bridging the gap between lectures and labs, acommon theme in the provided feedback was that students would benefit more from LabSim if itwere incorporated more directly into their assignments.

The central goal of the work is tointroduce new phenomena, and the examples treated are: (i) The effect of viscous damping onthe stability of an inverted pendulum. It is shown that with a linear model viscous damping doesnot stabilize an unstable state, whereas damping plays an important role when a non-linear modelis considered. (ii) Forced harmonic motion of a non-linear hardening spring-mass system. Thenumerical simulation of the response illustrates the “jump phenomena” in which the steady stateamplitude undergoes a jump in passing through frequencies close to the linear resonancefrequency.

would watch prepared videos prior to class and then take a quiz, askquestions, and solve problems during the class period. As an instructor, this allowed me to spendtime with the students who were struggling with the concepts and quickly monitor those whounderstood. The motivated students appreciated the structure as they would come with questionsand have them quickly answered. The typical passive student did not appreciate the structure asthere were expectations of preparation done ahead of class and a quiz at the beginning. What Ifound most interesting of this attempt, however, was the increase in the student’s ownership ofthe material and their learning through their preparation prior to class.Technical communication:Also, while at my
