sample size vs. effect size calculations. In our case, we were not aware of anypublished studies to date that have given effect size of mechatronic experiences and coursegrades. Lastly, the variable of experience level was subjectively self-reported. This has thepotential to impose some systemic errors into our model. Therefore, generalizations of ourresults for this variable should be carefully interpreted. We offer that our study was based on thestate of the art of our topic and employed realistically rigorous methods.4. ConclusionThis paper examined how course grades differed in a mechatronic experience group vs. a non-mechatronic experience group for major vs. non-major students. We found that course gradeswere significantly different

The survey wasa mix of quantitative multiple-choice questions and qualitative free responses.

The questions and our discussions are broadly organized into the following sevencategories. 1. Author School, Appointment, and

Similarly, 43% ofstudents couldn’t name any steps in the process of product design and 76% couldn’t name anycomponents/tenets of Sustainable Engineering.Members of the faculty, graduate and undergraduate students outside class have been invited toattend the individual and team project presentations, to give feedback and participate in theevaluation of these projects.Course Outcomes The specific educational outcomes expected from this new format include the following: • Students will learn to work in teams. This outcome will be assessed via self-reports, peer reports, instructor observation and

To achieve this withoutsacrificing too much in technical course content, educators are challenged to develop innovativeways to incorporate legal, social, and political topics into environmental engineering courses andcurricula.This paper describes various projects and assignments developed for an introductoryenvironmental engineering course at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy designed to address thesenon-technical issues.
