SPIRAL Design-Oriented Laboratories in the First-Year Mechanical Engineering CurriculumAbstractAs a primary part of realizing a Student-driven Pedagogy of Integrated, Reinforced, ActiveLearning (SPIRAL) throughout our Mechanical Engineering curriculum, we are implementingnew laboratory experiences in the first and second years of our program. This paper will focus onthe laboratories for our new, required first-year course sequence, in which the traditional topicsof design methodology and computer programming are taught in the context of robotic andmechatronic systems. The laboratories encompass engineering software, mechanical andelectrical hardware, and manufacturing, with content driven by the semester-long team

IntroductionLouisiana Tech University is a state university in north Louisiana with an engineering college ofabout 1,600 students and about 110 faculty. About 5% of the in-coming engineering students areready for calculus, 50% are ready for pre-calculus and 45% start below pre-calculus in CollegeAlgebra. Learning from recent developments in engineering coalitions such as the FoundationCoalition1,2, Louisiana Tech has implemented an integrated curriculum for the first two years ofstudy in engineering (cf.

fourth andsubsequent assessment accesses do not count for credit.As the learning is self-directed, progress and the rate at which it occurs is the responsibility ofthe individual student. There are no immediate consequences for an inadequate rate ofprogression, and while some measures are taken to signal adequate progression to encouragestudents to stay on track [4], some students still lag. Lindsay & Morgan [3] observed that thisleads to the emergence of two sub-cohorts – one who was up to date, and one that was wellbehind and unlikely to complete the course.The challenge for the teachers at CSU Engineering is to develop metrics of behavior that supportunderstanding effective study behavior in this unique curriculum.

design program.ConclusionsThe University of Idaho new undergraduate curriculum in electrical energy subjects is designedto meet observed needs and interests of the students effectively. The key to this new three-levelapproach to the electric power and energy curriculum is understanding that student interests canbe grouped into three categories: taking only a single course for breadth, expressing a secondaryinterest in power and energy systems that includes understanding how to interface and work withthese systems as a customer, or interface, and planning to seek employment as power and energyspecialists. Recognizing that these three categories exist led to development of a curriculum thatbalances breadth and depth of study within an established

, institutional goal of reducing the number of hours for graduation in large- hour programs like engineering.Considering those three factors, we developed a set of guidelines for change. The following fourprinciples, that we came to over time, channeled the evolution of the new curriculum:1. A student should be able to graduate in four years without taking enormous overloads or attending summer sessions; we want the quarterly load to be light enough to allow students time to think and learn, not just stagger from midterm to midterm.2. There should be more flexibility built into the program, allowing electives from a wide Page 3.568.2 variety
