Implementation of the ICD Method to Improve the Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Course ExperienceAbstractThis paper discusses the results of a study performed at the Pennsylvania State University toidentify and implement the significant factors of student satisfaction and motivation within theindustrial engineering undergraduate classroom. Building on another study performed at thePennsylvania State University, the three overarching factors influencing student satisfaction andmotivation were found and further analyzed. This study defined the specific factors of InstructorInteraction and Feedback, Classroom Environment, and Modes of Instruction that were modeledto create a statistically significant model.

quarter 2021, 18 IAs from 6 courses completed the firstiteration of the asynchronous training. Participating IAs were asked to watch 5 instructionalvideos (discussed above) that ranged from 5 to 18 minutes in length, for a total of 45 minutes.Each module included 2-3 reflection and/or application questions related to the content, and IAswere asked to complete their responses to the questions on a web form. The purpose of thereflection assignment was to assess what IAs learned from each module, how they could applywhat they learned to administering an oral exam, and to elicit feedback on how the instructionalvideos could be improved for future training. Based on the depth of the responses, the videoswere effective in helping IAs learn the purpose

As Albert Einstein oncesaid, one doesn’t always have to know everything, but must know where and how to find themost important things. Instructors can use cheat sheet to assess students’ ability to identify themost important topics in class material. This also provides a sublime feedback, which instructorscan use to improve the delivery of lectures.Bibliography1. Afshin Gharib, William Phillips, Noelle Mathew, Cheat Sheet or Open-Book? (2012).

application of engineering standards is often seen as amandate of design instructors to satisfy accreditation requirements, rather than as a beneficialpractice. When students carry this view into industry, medical device development andregulatory approval can be hindered, so industry is placing a greater value on students whoappreciate and can effectively apply medical device standards. This work describes an attempt tointroduce and implement medical device standards in a freshman-level introduction tobiomedical engineering course and proposes a method to determine whether this early coverageof standards improves students’ views about the importance of engineering standards and abilityto later apply them appropriately in a capstone design

The objective of the TEI is to create a common language by which guidedreflection and feedback can be provided based on visible behaviour competencies as a means toengage students in learning about and improving their individual team-effectiveness. An initialversion of the TEI was developed with three aspects (organizational, relational andcommunication) and 27 competencies. This TEI was studied through responses collected in afirst year engineering design class of 250 students in Winter 2012. Correlation analysis wasapplied to student

Additionally, thissection presents the impacts of using SEP-CyLE on student course grade and the effects of teamcollaboration on course performance.6.1. Pretest vs Posttest Results:To evaluate the impact of SEP-CyLE on the student’s knowledge acquisition of theprogramming concepts and their proficiency of tools and techniques, a comparison of pre- andposttest was performed. Students were given approximately 20 minutes to complete each of thetests. The average score of pretest was compared against the average score of posttest for controlgroup and experiment group.
