Conventionalcorrosion rate experiments are time consuming, but yield useful corrosion rate data that can beused for design considerations. The lab work described here is oriented toward rapid, visualresults that can be correlated to the effects of material structure, grain size

- Applying a Design, Development, and Testing Exercise to Augment the Early-Stage Undergraduate Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Experience I. INTRODUCTION The challenging and encouraging nature of a research environment can contribute to thesuccessful application and retention of knowledge for a college student. It is important forengineering students to realize the benefits of participating in a research laboratory during theirundergraduate career. This paper presents the design, construction, and testing of a thrust stand todemonstrate the core principles taught in advanced engineering courses. The thrust stand wasdesigned to facilitate the testing and evaluation of different types of motors

Laboratory is to develop the students’ writing ability. Historically, this has beenaccomplished by requiring bi-weekly technical memos. The course syllabus described the memorequirement this way: Your memo will most often pertain to your lab experience and lecture experience, although homing in on a particularly interesting aspect of lab or radio design is also fair game. Occasionally there will be specific topics you are to write about. Your one-page typed memo (space and a half, 12 point times font) is due at the beginning of the Monday lecture session, and is to be placed in the folder appropriate for your lab section. The memo will be graded based on spelling, grammar and content.In 2012 Auburn

. Thelong-term goal of this research is to understand the impact of situated learning and engaging incommunities of practice (e.g., the DMLC) on novice learners. We further intend to understandhow these novice learners develop their identities as data scientists as they progress through theDMLC. Additionally, evaluating students for a year will help us to understand changingperceptions of students in a situated learning environment. The next steps for this study are toconsider a larger sample size to extend and validate our initial coding categories. This will be doneto create more connections of student experiences through situated learning and communities ofpractice frameworks and to develop design principles for learning communities.Impact of
