The majority of the TAs areundergraduates.IV. MethodA ten scenario survey was administered to the instructors, TAs, and students. The survey wasdeveloped from scenarios used in a MIT study5 and from data given to us by the Dean ofStudents office. The scenarios developed from the latter source were designed to be specific toCS1501. Each scenario had a possibility of three rankings: “not cheating”, “trivial cheating”, or“serious cheating”. The ranking scheme for the scenario surveys was taken from the MIT study5.We surveyed instructors, TAs, and students about their conceptions of which actions

The linear actuator control system will also be used in an electivecontrol class (ME 475) in the Fall 2002 semester. In this class, students will take a much morecomprehensive look at the controller. Both frequency domain and time domain (root locus)approaches will be used to design PID controllers. Comparing theoretical results to actualexperimental results should improve student understanding of controls.AcknowledgementsMuch of the equipment and facilities used to develop this linear actuator control system weremade available by the Electro-mechanical Systems Laboratory (EMSyL) at The University

so-called“soft skills” (Cech, 2014; Faulkner, 2007). As a result of this dualism, engineering students aremisled into thinking that engineering exists within a vacuum (Johnson et al., 2019; Trevelyan,2014). If their engineering courses focus solely on building their technical skills, students mayenter the professional field with little experience in addressing bigger problems that affectmembers in society beyond the traditional stakeholders they were exposed to in their engineeringprograms, who are often those who hold the most power in society (Leydens & Lucena, 2017).Efforts to introduce the social dimensions of engineering are typically sprinkled into design andcapstone courses (Leydens & Lucena, 2017) or designated to standalone

Engineering Education, 2024 Re-Envisioning Materials Science Education Through Atomic-Level Computational ModelingAbstract: This paper presents a re-designed introductory materials science and engineering(MSE) course that uses computational atomistic modeling for nearly every topic. Computation isbecoming ubiquitous in MSE, and it can help dramatically improve understanding of how macro-level behavior emerges from atomic behavior. Just three modeling techniques—moleculardynamics, Monte Carlo, and random walk—can be used to model most topics in an introductoryMSE course, and understanding conceptually how these techniques work is not very difficult.After providing background on computation in MSE and in education, we

As amentor, it is important to recognize this so that you can define who they are and how best tointeract with them. Taking time to listen to the student and building this relationship carefully(Tips #1 and #2 above) play an important part of this definition process. When a new studententers my research group, I conduct a “mentoring interview” to learn about their career goals,prior experience, preferred management style, etc. Villarruel provides a helpful list of questionsfor this interview, examples of which are listed below:2 • What are your strengths?

ThinkingStudents in the School of Engineering Technology are quite familiar with the tools used forcommunicating their designs to a client. They are comfortable with engineering drawings andcalculations to convey their design to someone else. They are learning today that they mustrespond to a different audience and this requires a different communication skill. This skill isnot a new one but an old one, writing and writing well. Students are learning that “writing isthinking on paper”1. They are learning that their thinking is enhanced by their writing becausethey learn to adopt conventions of format and structure and they begin to understand theexpectation of their peers and clients. In fact, Peer Review, discussed later in this paper, has greatimpact on
