In post-instruction surveys, instructors were rated 10 on a scale of 1 to10 for knowledge and effectiveness. The topics covered were rated from “helpful” (5) to“imperative to have” (10) on a scale of 1 to 10. In addition, teachers - especially the middleschool teachers, appreciated being given a broader perspective of the capabilities of the software.Pilot Program 2008/9Data from the second year of PD suggests that the sessions were very effective in enhancingteachers’ technical skills and building teacher confidence. Throughout the year, modificationswere made to the structure of the classes and to the content based on teacher input and

Casestudies were developed using GaBi™ Product Life Cycle Sustainability software based on lifecycle analysis to increase student exposure in different life cycle stages along with life cycledecisions. To incorporate both green energy and green energy manufacturing, the class wasdivided into two different modules where, Module I was based on Green/Renewable energy andModule II incorporated life cycle analysis, concepts of green manufacturing and project basedlearning.Module-I: The aim of this Module-1 was to provide basic concepts of Green/Renewable energy.This module incorporated various aspects associated with renewable energy such as GreenElectric Energy Systems, Wind Power Generation, Solar Energy, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) OutputPower
intwo-person or three-person teams (Session 2); they also completed the KAI® cognitive styleinventory (individually, before the start of Session 1). For the first session, students were askedto generate solutions to a design problem individually and to provide words and sketches todescribe their concepts. After this first ideation session, students were asked to generate ideas fora new problem in a two-person (or three-person) team; however, they were asked to record theirideas separately on their individual worksheets. For each idea generated in the team session,students were also asked to indicate which person from the team first verbalized each idea, aswell as how much each person contributed to the idea’s generation and development.Four
outreach program the department delivers two or three back-to-backsessions, depending on the number of registered students. Each session usually lasts 50 minutes;however, the time allotted to complete the activities might vary. The presenter must be able toadjust the schedule if the students arrive late or must leave early in order to reach their nextsession. The presenter must also be prepared to adjust in the event of unexpected technicaldifficulties.Table 1 illustrates a generic schedule of activities for the physical computing outreach session. Ingeneral, every session attempts always to share career information and the end-of-session survey,so any needed time adjustments are made for the other activities. The survey is administeredusing the

The 5-credit course has been project-based where students in the sameteams (4-5 members) for the entire semester develop a process design, including all required unitoperations, equipment sizing, and energy requirements, and an economic evaluation of the finaldesign. In a typical semester, the design problem prompts are generated by the course technicalinstructors, and are not repeated semester to semester. The prompts generally consist of at mosttwo paragraphs identifying desired feedstock and

Each group utilized different sets of applied prototyping skills depending on the scope and direction of the project.In general we attempted to teach the preceding skills and techniques in the context of projectsthat the students could take away from the workshop. Each project is summarized in thefollowing pages, with a generalized materials list for each project broken out separately inAppendix B.Rapid Prototyping Techniques (3-2-1- Launch!)In the first project session each student designed and constructed a paper rocket to be launchedfrom a pneumatic launcher. Both the launcher and rocket are shown in Figure 1. Everyone wasgiven the same materials to work with, which included two sheets

Academic Accomplishments of Past EDGE StudentsThe 19 students that were unaccounted for are considered to be out of the system or still in highschool. Of all the students that were still enrolled or had obtained a degree, 64% of them were ina technical field. The numbers do not necessarily add up because several students earned morethan one degree, or after earning their associate transferred to a 4-year institution.Changes made in 2014The configuration of the EDGE 2014 Program was finalized as follows. The first yearcomponent (EDGE 1) was offered to all students that applied for the first time to the EDGEprogram and were entering high

The team included two lead course GTAs and six faculty (five labinstructors and one course coordinator). The team developed three sub-goals: 1) improveconsistency of grading from TA to TA, 2) improve quality of GTA feedback on lab reports tofacilitate learning, and 3) improve the quality of student technical writing, to be measuredthrough a rigorous assessment process. During several meetings that summer, the teamdiscussed what students needed to learn in the labs, both in terms of course-specific knowledgeand

Oh yeah, use scratch paper so that you can keep track of just how many ideas you generate. [Unstructured/Male-dominant]It is important to note that while facilitation within a team is, at some level, an expression ofpower, such expressions are often vital to the effective function of a team. That is, a team with afacilitator is often more effective than one without. Therefore, expressions of power such asthese are not inherently negative.AffirmationsWe defined affirmations as a neutral agreement or acknowledgement with a previous statement.The presence and frequency of affirmations assist

Kelleret al. 8 surveyed more than 10,000 students in 94 lecture sessions. They suggested the maximumClicker benefit could be achieved if 3-4 questions would be given per quiz in practically everylecture (90-100%). Both students and instructors agreed that it would be best to let studentsdiscuss during a quiz to foster interaction and improve learning.II.3.

conventions andexpectations for writing within the discipline—a common dilemma that other engineeringprograms face, too. Over the past two years, we conducted an interdisciplinary research effort toimprove engineering students’ writing skills in two entry-level engineering laboratory courses onengineering materials and manufacturing processes. These lab courses adjusted the view ofwriting instruction from a traditional modes-based approach to a rhetorical approach, anapproach that has been successful in other general education courses. In practice, the courseinstructor and laboratory adjuncts provided a rhetorical writing review session in the beginningof the semester and graded students’ lab reports to provide feedback during the one-on-onesessions
