Using Technology to Improve the Traditional Chalk and Talk Lecture Douglas R. Carroll University of Missouri-RollaIntroduction This is a report on several years of experimentation trying different ways of incorporatingtechnology into teaching basic engineering mechanics courses of statics and mechanics ofmaterials. I've taught at least one section of statics or mechanics of materials almost everysemester for the last 18 years, a combined total of over 60 sections of statics and mechanics ofmaterials. I'm a popular teacher with the students and have won many teaching awards. Most ofmy attempts at bringing technology into the classroom have failed, and I

Session 2149 Establishing Baseline Goals and Objectives for the Development of Educational Outcomes Using an Online Instrument John C. Wise, Peter J. Shull The Pennsylvania State UniversityIntroductionA primary effect of the ABET TC2K accreditation requirements1 is to cause programs toorganize and make explicit that which has usually been done implicitly. For example, manyprograms have existing objectives and outcomes with which they operate, although they areoften unstated or relegated to the course level with little attempt to coordinate them systemically.Prior
seems to be a match between the needs of engineering education for the21st century and female preferences for learning when it comes to the importance of teamwork.Team or group work (the two are used interchangeably in this paper) is supposed to be apedagogy that women prefer, since it involves collaborative rather than competitive learning,interactional negotiations, a peer setting for confidence building and a safer environment forerror correction for those unsure of their skills. It also provides the opportunity to learn fromeach other’s strengths. Presumably, the emphasis on teamwork will thus make engineeringeducation more palatable for female students, and has been recommended as a strategy to makeengineering (and other math and science

American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Instilling the Necessity of Lifelong Learning using Article ReviewsAbstractABET Criterion 3 requires students to demonstrate “a recognition of the need for, and anability to engage in life-long learning.” To successfully obtain this skill by graduation, it isimperative that students be allowed to practice these skills in all classes. This leads to achallenge: how can one effectively integrate and assess student’s lifelong learning skills inall classes in an efficient manner? One mechanism for addressing lifelong learning skills isthe research paper.

As a result, when teaching Advanced Solid Modeling, the instructors took it for granted that students would be able to create gears, shafts, and chassis using Autodesk Inventor.
