This has generated atradition of wit that has been a major motivating factor and substantially added to the students’enjoyment of the project. Examples can be seen in the photos below (note the mud flaps reading“BACK OFF!” and the associated shoes, which were named “New Improved KineticExpediters”, or “N.I.K.E.s”).

on sophomore-level foundational courses emanates from a set ofobservations about student learning and a gnawing sense of frustration shared by many facultymembers across many different institutions that we are failing to make the most of anextraordinarily important time in a student’s development. We are failing to bring enoughstudents to full fluency with the concepts that underpin many of the technical ideas thatengineers use to solve problems. Furthermore, there is a growing concern that the pedagogyneither embraces current technology—both in teaching and in professional application—nor doesit adequately embrace what is now known about how people learn [7] – [9].The foundational mechanics courses are generally taken by engineering

The bottom left switch on the SVA’s front panel should be off (Fig. 14). Band Level dials should be turned so that the two matching white dots are pointed at 12 o’clock. The bandwidth dial should be set to ‘All Pass’.Fig. 13. Schematic diagram of the second lab exercise. 2. Using the tone generator feature of Audacity, generate a tone for a time period of approximately 120 seconds. Record the frequency of the tone. 3. The student will conduct a Sound Pressure Analysis.

to teach to first-year students. It is not unusual for students towant to jump straight to a solution, skipping over steps of background research, problemdefinition, idea generation, idea comparison, and the systematic development of well-foundedconclusions. Moving students toward being more careful practitioners is an important step intheir development. Atman, et. al.1 have observed that one of the key differences betweeninexperienced student designers and experienced professional designers is the amount of timeand care spent in the project scoping and definition phase.Carrying out and documenting a design process are naturally linked and writing is an importantskill for an engineer.
