, Attitudes, and Perceptions of Oral Engineering ExamsIntroductionWhile it is commonly known that verbal communication and presentation skills are highlydesirable by employers, many engineering students’ technical learning is assessed primarilythrough written examination means. In the department of Integrated Engineering (IE) atMinnesota State University, Mankato, verbal exams are a fundamental formative and summativeassessment method of checking students’ understanding [1]. While the goals for verbalexamination are common throughout the program, this paper aims to compile the individualphilosophies, approaches, attitudes, and perceptions of faculty within the department who giveverbal examinations on a regular basis

Students were asked toidentify and prioritize potential stakeholders for the scenario (ex. engineer, technician,customers, stockholders, etc.). Students then identified the potential feelings that may be evokedin the two participants in the scenario, relate those to their experiences and then write scriptedconversations including one empathic and one non-empathic response as a character in thescenario. The idea here was for them to try to tap into times they have felt a certain way andthen juxtapose an empathic response against an analytic response to see why the empathicresponse would

However, most of the theories, both in papers / articles and books, areabout teaming in workplace with hardly any emphasis on teamwork in a university studyenvironment. Team building theories tailored for organizations are not exactly applicable toteamwork in an educational setting. The fundamental difference here is people are paid to workin teams in an organization whereas in higher education, students are asked to be part of teamsfor a couple of reasons: • reduced workload for the lecturers; if a class of 30 are to be formed into teams of 3 then the lecturer-in-charge will have only 10 copies of assignment to mark instead of 30; • to let students experience the flavor of

As a result of an iterative process between SME and curriculum designers,course level learning objectives were aligned with the learning outcomes; likewise, module-levellearning objectives were aligned to course-level learning objectives to ensure that each learningmodule could help learners to achieve intended learning outcomes.

The argument is basedon personal anecdotal evidence associated with the author‟s experiences. Hence, it does not havea rigorous foundation.

This method was by far the most popular seenthroughout history. A more recent example of this is the Enigma machine used during WorldWar II by the Germans to encrypt and decrypt their messages. While this was a much morecomplex version of using an encryption and decryption method, the fundamentals are the same6.With the advent of computers and the need to connect them, an issue was soon discovered thatmade the traditional methods of encryption no longer viable.

Therefore it is well-positioned to produce broadly educated engineers for the globalengineering community of the 21st century.

Writing exerciseshave been part of the laboratory for years, and are described in some detail. Emphasis is on oralcommunication.

seed was planted in 1959 by Richard Feynman when he postulated that it was possible to write“the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the head of a pin.” 1 The idea laydormant until the early 1980s, when technology made it practical to visualize and evenmanipulate individual atoms on surfaces. The result was a new realm of science andtechnology—the nano-realm. The nanoscale is between the microscale and the atomic scale.With respect to lengths, the nanoscale ranges between about 1 and 100 nanometers; it mayextend into the hundreds of nanometers.Being able to understand and manipulate objects and functions at this scale has extraordinarypotential for two general reasons. The first may be obvious. Feynman’s proposal is an

It includes a laboratory component to help the students gain hands-on experiences inmaterials testing. In traditional experiments, students simply follow the instructions provided bya lab instructor, use equipment that has already been set up, test samples that have already beenprepared, and obtain results that are expected by the instructor. In this way, students complete thetest relatively passively. The primary benefit of this approach is that it provides the students
