demonstrate the cognitive benefits of using kineticdiagrams based on Cognitive Load Theory, an instructional design framework derived from thecognitive architecture.Just like we need to follow laws of motion to design machines as engineers, we, as mechanicsinstructors, should develop instruction strategies by following principles of learning. According toCognitive Load Theory, learning will be hindered if the cognitive load exceeds working memorycapacity [6]. The cognitive load could be imposed by either the intrinsic nature of learningmaterials (i.e., intrinsic cognitive load) or the instruction manners in which the materials arepresented (i.e., extraneous cognitive load). Therefore, we need to keep students’ working memorylimitation in mind when we

Inductive teaching usesexperiments, case studies, and real-word problems as challenges to stimulate students’ interestsin the course material and encourage the students to approach to higher level of learning domain[5].

The course is unique in the following ways: it is modular instructure; computational nanotechnology has been made an integral part of the course; itprovides hands-on experience with real samples and equipment; High Performance ComputingCluster (HPCC) has been used for modeling and simulation. It was followed by a designprojects course in which students designed and implemented a nanoelectronic device. Wedeveloped the Nanoelectronics Concept Inventory (NCI) to assess student learning offundamental concepts in the first course. The assessment can be used to improve and enhancepedagogical techniques employed. The assessment can be supplemented by the observation ofstudent performance during the

handling and manufacturing sensitive materials from nuclear waste to weaponcomponents to spent fuel. Design in this challenging domain requires an interdisciplinaryexpertise in nuclear engineering and flexible automation (robotics). Our experiences have shownthat there is a shortage of interdisciplinary trained engineers in this area which has led to either1) an inherent lack of cutting edge automation technologies in the nuclear domain or 2) aninability to precisely define the operational and environmental requirements for proposedautomation systems. This paper outlines the generalized material and course requirements for aninterdisciplinary graduate program from domain relevant application requirements as well asinteractions with the DOE complex

If the resulting assessment predicts that the component willsurvive, then there is a sound basis for lowering the probability of failure, thus moving ina positive direction on the risk matrix. However, since these calculations are onlypreliminary, due to their approximate nature, the amount of reduction in risk is limited.Next, the students are asked to consider how the impact of such a failure can beevaluated.

provides afoundation of competence and familiarity within a subject or idea. Engineering practice relies onthe successful utilization of conceptual knowledge with regard to system design, problem-solving processes, and developing professional competence in the field (Streveler & Litzinger,2008). Current research investigates both methods of targeting change in conceptual knowledge(Chi, 2008) and methods of assessing conceptual knowledge (Streveler & Litzinger, 2008) in theengineering sciences. Measuring conceptual knowledge and how it changes allows instructors tohave a better understanding of the areas in which students struggle. One method of measuringconceptual knowledge is through the use of concept inventories, because they are a fast
