Benefits of a Design-and-Build ProjectDesign-and-build projects are employed by several faculty to provide students with problem-based learning opportunities. These projects afford students the opportunity to use engineeringskills learned in the classroom, acquire new engineering skills based on the project, and honetheir communication and teamwork skills [1]. These projects have most impact when theapplications are highly practical and have a real customer [2].From a more technical perspective, design-and-build projects require students to improveproblem definition, develop and evaluate conceptual solutions

. The Chem-E-Car competition is a powerful tool to enhance technical writing skills,provide engineering analysis opportunities [1], and apply team management skills. Since itsbeginning in 1999, the Chem-E-Car Competition has evolved as the major attraction at theregional, national, and international American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) studentconferences [2]. The basic principle of the competition is that each team has to design a car thatwill carry up to 500 mL of water and travel a specified distance (up to 100 feet). Teams arenotified of the water weight and travel distance one hour prior to the competition. A chemicalreaction must be used to propel the car, and no mechanical mechanisms may be used to stop thecar. The components

While the focus of the class is on pedagogy, the goal is forstudents to find the experience useful regardless of whether they are going into academia,industry, a research laboratory, or other career pursuits. In addition to issues dealing withteaching engineering, sessions are organized for career planning, success in both academia andindustry, ethics, and basic counseling and mentoring skills. This paper is a study of theeffectiveness of the Teaching Practicum experience. Survey responses are analyzed from nearly100 Ph.D. alumni for the period from the summer of 1996 to the spring of 2009.

The content of the PNM course includes: ≠ Waves & Sound, ≠ Electricity & Magnetism, ≠ Light, Color, & Optics, and ≠ Modern Physics.The PNM course was developed through the use of current research in physics and engineeringeducation. As a result, the course is taught using an integrated lab-lecture approach. Duringthese activity-oriented sessions

Teams arejudged on demonstrated accuracy, cost, weight of materials and disposal plan, and level ofcollaboration. In this way the competition incorporates the technical, economic, environmental,and societal criteria of our sustainable design philosophy.Motivation for CompetitionNumerous design competitions exist for engineering students or prospective engineeringstudents.

In the previous fall semester of CE300, 13 of 15 studentsin an IM section—in which the instructor used IM and carefully documented IM usage andstudent performance—chose to initiate at least one IM session with the instructor over the courseof a 40-lesson semester. 1 All but two of the sessions involved requests for assistance on assignedhomework problem sets, and 90% occurred outside of normal office hours—in the evening andwithin 48 hours of a homework due date.1 These data suggest that most of the students werewilling to initiate a conversation with the instructor via IM, and that the times they will seek outassistance via IM can be predicted from the course assignment

Thestudents often find these experiences extremely enjoyable, especially when they areencouraged to apply their technical skills to a current real-world problem. Are there anycorresponding experiences that can be offered to these same students to show them theexcitement of graduate school? Perhaps if a student has the opportunity to performchallenging undergraduate research, that student’s appetite for graduate studies and acareer in research will be whet. More generally, experience suggests that undergraduateresearch improves the quality of the education for the vast majority of the students whoparticipate regardless of what type of career they ultimately pursue.Both
