Paper ID #27552Students’ Self-Assessment of Modern Making SkillsDr. Diana R. Haidar, Carnegie Mellon University Diana R. Haidar, Ph.D. is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Her background spans industry work in manufacturing, research efforts towards developing nanocomposites for advanced tribological performance in extreme environments, and prototyping experience designing-fabricating-building-testing-implementing various custom experimen- tal equipment. These experiences led to a passion for using makerspace resources to bring more hands-on

The probability of more than one person being in the chatroom decreases significantly when the population is only 30. The students needed to makeappointments with each other to “meet” in the chat room.Assignments/Instructional materialsIn a traditional classroom, the instructor typically hands out the assignment and reviews it withthe students. Student questions about the assignment can be fielded immediately. Online, theonly way students have to interpret the material are the written instructions and all instructorshave to evaluate whether or not the student is learning is their responses.

Project- oriented Cooperative Learning StrategyAbstractThis paper introduces an effective project-oriented cooperative learning strategy that is applied tocomputer networking class. Computer networking is a critical class for students majored inComputer Science (CS) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). To significantly improvestudents’ learning experiences and outcomes, we integrate cooperative learning and project-oriented teaching strategy into the computer networking class. In this paper, a specific project, e.g.,Network Address Translation, serves as an example to illustrate the cooperative learning strategy.The traditional instructional methods are adopted in one class while the cooperative instructionstrategy is

satisfaction of our ProgramOutcomes. Here again, though, there were surprises in store.As we began to review specific course learning objectives proposed by course instructors, it soonbecame apparent that material we thought was given substantial coverage in a course was not, infact, listed among the course learning objectives. With the preliminary course information wehad in hand, for example, it was clear we could not demonstrate that students were being givenadequate coverage of design of experiments. It also became clear that there was not always astrong correlation between the specific course learning objectives for a course and the measuresused to determine student performance in the course.Even at this early stage in our evolution, however, one

A higher percentage (69%) of the undergraduate students in the BSIT are non-Whiteand there are significantly more students from Asian backgrounds in the BSIT than in theuniversity as a whole. From the research on ethnic and gender differences in learning styles, theevidence suggests that ethnic minorities and women work best when the material is organized sothat students work in teams and have a high level of hands-on experimentation and problem-solving.

In thelater case, the students are then encouraged to revisit this problem after they learn the deformationtheory in the mechanics of materials course. The students are reminded that, with the introducedFEA formulation procedure deep in mind, the only major difference would be in the elementalformulation to apply FEA in mechanics of materials as well as in heat transfer, fluid mechanics,etc. FEA can then be reintroduced in these courses to strengthen the students’ understanding ofthe basic FEA

The larger villages have clinics staffed by a trainedmedical technician and have schools, some up to grade 12, typically without even books andpaper. Some of the villages rely on water from rivers that had to be hand-carried to houses andclinics. The original group of students approached the engineering school for collaboration.

Thisprovides students with a valuable opportunity for self-interrogation, to think about what theyhave learned, and eventually to internalize the information covered in class – something that isnot possible in the traditional lecture model.
