Engineering Education, 2023 Designing and building of a micro-fatigue testing device for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in-situ testing for naval applicationsAbstractAn improvement in capability to better manage and reduce degradation of materials in U.S.Navy’s assets requires a workforce educated and trained in the application of the tools,principles, and practices of fatigue and fracture mechanics. However, the current level ofeffectiveness of failure engineering curricula in universities is not sufficient to address theNavy’s need to improve safety and reliability and reduce costs due to premature fatigue andfracture failure. Many of the Navy assets experience cyclic mechanical loads during theirlifetimes which result in fatigue

which deals with the integration of the cell into the overall CIM facility. Three student research projectswere conducted using the FAC environment and this led to the implementation and integration of the hardwarein the cell. The cell was also used for several term projects in undergraduate courses in CIM and Robotics.This paper describes the synthesis between the objectives of the cell and undergraduate education at GMI. Thepaper examines the effectiveness of the learning experiences that were conceived in Phase I of the project.The results of the implementation evaluation - an activity under Phase II that was conducted to assess theeffectiveness of the project - are presented and discussedIntroduction This paper is the second one in a
Engineering Education, 2013 The Influence of a Teaching Assistant Orientation on Teaching Assistant Perceptions of Self-EfficacyAbstractGraduate students at large, research-intensive institutions are often funded as teaching assistants(TAs) for undergraduate courses. Although content-specific training programs are beneficial forTA development, training in general pedagogical principals is also required given that most TAslack the pedagogical knowledge required to teach effectively. Thus, developing a sense of self-efficacy related to pedagogical principles is important for TA development. This is especiallyrelevant for international TAs who must become familiar with the American classroom whilealso learning how to
