Many suchactivities are commercially available, and some of those are used at PSB, but most of theactivities that are used are developed by individual faculty members in their particular areas ofexpertise. These include such activities as simple motors, bridge building, wind power, andmany more.As part of the effort to design these hands-on activities, an independent study course was offeredin the spring of 2009 for Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students as a technicalelective. The objective of the course was to design, build and test four hands-on activities to beused as part of the school’s K-12 outreach programs. Eight students signed up for the

Instructional Approaches to Address MisconceptionsIn the following Sections 3 and 4, we describe some methods we have developed to promotebetter qualitative understanding of DC circuit concepts. These methods were developed basedon the experience of one of the authors (BJS) in teaching this subject. The effects of thesemethods on conceptual understanding when implemented by that author in two class sections arediscussed in Section 5 below. Section 3A focuses on microscopic models and analogies forcurrent flow, and Sections 3B-3E focus on comparing and contrasting items such as voltage and

Thequantitative portion of the first scenario prompt was: Please consider the following scenario when answering questions on this screen: Imagine that you are a junior engineer working under the direction of a senior licensed professional engineer (P.E.) with many years of experience in bridge design. During a late- stage design review, significant concerns were expressed about the team’s design possibly leading to an unacceptable level of vibration. The P.E. overrules the concerns without discussion and prepares the bridge design for delivery to the project sponsor

Many studies have shown that when correctly implemented, cooperative learningimproves information acquisition and retention, higher-level thinking skills, interpersonal andcommunication skills, and self-confidence (Johnson, Johnson, and Smith, 1998).Holding each student individually accountable for work done in a team setting is a cornerstoneof cooperative learning.

The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

. Thespeaking courses scored somewhat better than the writing courses (question 8 vs. 3) while theEET courses were lower for oral than for written (questions 9 and 10 vs. 4 and 5). This was notunexpected, as the required courses in the curriculum only had a requirement for presentationsduring senior design (some ECET electives have oral presentation requirements). Partly as aresponse to this, the Curriculum Committee combined two, 2-hr courses (trouble shooting, ECET276, and sophomore projects, ECET 296) into a new 4-hr sophomore project course (ECET 297),during the final semester of the A.S. degree program.

Unfortunately, at Tennessee Tech University, historical trends show thatabout 50% of the incoming first-time freshman students are placed in College Algebra or Pre-Calculus. Additionally, about 50% of the students placed in Calculus I do not pass the course. Thisleads to an adversarial effect of lower first-year retention in the program at 63
