Year 1 – Ice/Freezer ProblemThis unit uses context integration for almost every lesson, but overall, the unit has contentintegration as engineering, science, and mathematics objectives were all present. This unit keepsthe engineering design context at the center of the students’ attention throughout; however, theterms “engineering” or “engineering design” are not generally present. The lesson plans tend touse “challenge” or “problem” instead. Table 4 provides an overview of the lessons
experiments consist of a flow field,seed particles, laser, laser optics, and digital camera. Specifically, seed particles are discrete,neutrally buoyant (to avoid gravitational effects) spheres (near 1-100 𝜇m in diameter) that aresmall enough to follow the flow field and large enough to scatter sufficient light for imaging by adigital camera. Seed particles are illuminated by a light sheet generated by a laser source andoptics (i.e., cylindrical lens). The laser provides cohesive, directional, monochromatic light andthe cylindrical lens spreads this light into a thin sheet. The combination of seed particles andlight sheet illuminate a 2D plane of the seeded flow field so that the experimenter may observefluid motions and structures as shown in

Problemswith technology and pedagogy used in the summer 2010 implementation of online electricalcircuits are examined and possible solutions are presented. These findings, along with previousstudies in online education, were used to develop a pedagogical framework for an online lab-based course.

A mixed-methods assessment strategy was employed toevaluate the success of these approaches. Quantitative data was obtained from final examperformance for both conceptual understanding and problem solving competency which wascompared directly to the same class taught in a traditional manner.

The pressure controller allows thepressure to be rapidly increased up to a maximum pressure of 2,000 mbar using compressed shopair, and rapidly vented down to atmospheric pressure. Limitations on the reaction time areprimarily determined by the air source, and thus it is not recommended that a small portablecompressor be used as the air source if dealing with this large of a holding tank. Tubing isconnected through the top of each pressurized water holding tank and submerged in the water ofthe top pan to allow water to be sucked from or added to the pan, depending on the direction ofthe applied pressure gradient.

Priami (2007) succinctly summarizedthe basic feature of CT: “abstraction of reality in such a way that the neglected details in themodel make it executable by a machine” (p. 64). The field of CT research, which initiallyfocused on completely analyzable problems and solutions, has evolved to consider real-worldproblems whose solutions are large, complex systems.

whether the correct product isbeing built; this is the testing that should be conducted by the end users of the system, namelyteachers and students. It was this validation testing that was the focus of this study and themotivation of this software construction. To that end, the installation, phase (v), and operation,phase (vi), coincide with the testing of the software in a small scale release. By combining thesethree stages, the product stands a greater chance of success in the market and will require lessmaintenance once released on a large scale. This is a departure from typical views of softwareengineering1 in the omission of a small scale test release, something that should be very stronglyconsidered with educational software.It is after the
teaching assistant training programs.1 Introduction In engineering education, motivation is often discussed from a programmatic perspective(how do we motivate students to enroll in engineering programs?) or a curricular perspective(how do we motivate students to persist?). These perspectives often overlook the importance ofmotivation within the classroom and the daily processes of teaching and learning engineering.Motivation helps students focus their attention on learning activities, proactively seek newlearning activities, and persist in those activities until learning goals are reached1. Although future engineering professors and instructors have a sense of the centrality ofmotivation in learning engineering2, they are often
because of government financial support, reliability of the MOSIS brokeredfabrication technologies, and timeliness of the process. Although DARPA recently ended itslong standing support of MOSIS educational programs, NSF continues to provide funding forfabrication and packaging of student designed integrated circuits. Funding is based upon thenumber of enrolled students and covers fabrication of ICs of fixed sizes in two technologies.MOSIS concatenates the designs of multiple users into multi-product mask sets. These mask setsare sent to established commercial vendors using well characterized process controls.Consistency in fabrication is excellent. Students find that variations in the process technologyare held within strict tolerances. These

Over the three-year CCLIproject, activities/modules will be developed and incorporated into each of these courses, witheach activity/module focusing on a particular element from the process intensification spectrumand designed to also enhance vertical concept integration. This poster presentation focuses onthe activities and modules developed in Year 2. The preliminary assessment data collected fromYear 1 implementation are also presented.IntroductionThe chemical industry faces numerous challenges in the coming years due to decreasingavailability of raw material and energy resources. Thus, existing processes must operate in anefficient manner, with maximum
cutting corners in learning among students. Most of all, the analysis reveal the importance of emotional support in the form of motivation and encouragement, as students go through various emotions that form into perception, which in turn affect their performance.Dr. Khairiyah Mohd-Yusof, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Khairiyah Mohd-Yusof is currently the Director of the Regional Centre for Engineering Education (RCEE), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

learningsciences [10]. KiP articulates how a person’s intuitive sense of the physical world interacts withlearning formal reasoning methods; therefore, it is an appropriate framework for our studies.KiP posits that knowledge of a reasoning agent is not monolithic, but rather composed ofrelatively small elements called phenomenological primitives (p-prims) [9]. These knowledgeelements act by being recognized by the agent, called cuing. P-prims cue on perceivedconfigurations in the real world, have different relevant stimuli, and have different sensitivities toactivation called cuing priority.A useful example of a p-prim from physics is “Ohm’s p-prim”—that more effort begets moreresult, and more resistance begets less result [9]. This p-prim is named for

The follow-on study is the focus of this paper.The specific research question addressed in this paper is: Why did the interventions improvelearning of the role of problem formulation in design?Literature Review“Doing design does not insure the learning of design” [7]. A foundational element of nearlyall engineering design courses is doing design. Implicit in this pedagogy is the assumption thatdoing design is critical, if perhaps even sufficient, for learning design. Studies, however, showthat “doing” is clearly not sufficient for learning to occur.While design does not have one definition, the importance of

There was no pre-activity assessment and they did not find anystatistically significant difference between control and FC groups. Lopes et al. [17] conducted afour-year study on FC with graduate-level courses at two universities. The study had a largesample size and employed statistical analysis (ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U-tests) to studyLikert responses. Participants reported mixed or neutral attitudes toward FC.
