Based on a similar project conducted by Faste andRoth at Stanford University5 , student teams design and build a model of an amusement park ridewith limited time and materials (foam core, glue, pins, etc.), and incorporating two functioningsimple machines. At the conclusion of this intense exercise, instructors have a good notion ofteam dynamics and potential. Quantitative peer evaluations count 5% of each student’s grade,and provide instructors an opportunity to give each student one-on-one feedback that includesinstructor and anonymous peer feedback. This immediate feedback is often a turning point forindividual team members who have struggled within

The Alpha-Robotics curriculum consists of 17 hands-on lessons where students designand build original ideas using LEGOs and other materials while exploring math concepts such asnumber recognition, circumference and diameter, fractions, measurement, graphing andvariables. Science concepts integrated in the curriculum include wheels and axles, friction, datacollection and analysis. Reading skills are incorporated using LEGO vocabulary. Students alsoget an overview of engineering disciplines such as mechanical and civil engineering. In the finallessons, students program their

In March 2001, a group of three Packaging Science faculty received an NSF CCLI grant toadapt materials characterization techniques to collaborative, discovery-based learning in theundergraduate Packaging Science curriculum. The major objectives of this project are:· To incorporate more science-based learning in our Packaging Science laboratory courses· To significantly increase the understanding and hands-on experience of our undergraduate students with state-of-the-art materials science characterization and investigative

Session 2149 Planning and Execution: The Key to Developing a TC2K Quality Program David S. Cottrell Pennsylvania State University at HarrisburgIntroduction This paper describes an ongoing process: the integration of the new ABETaccreditation criteria for engineering technology (TC2K) into the School of Science,Engineering, and Technology at the Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg.Currently three technology programs – Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,and Structural Design and Construction Engineering – are implementing outcomes
collaborativeprojects to stimulate students’ interest in learning new theory, to reinforce theory with designexamples, and to guide students through the design process. Dynamic presentations using TabletPCs improve the efficiency of course material delivery. Thus, more interactive demos and hands-on design components can be accommodated within the same amount of instruction time.This paper presents the details of the proposed CPBL model, as well as its implementation inthree core computer engineering courses (Microcomputer Programming, Computer Logic Page 12.1195.2Design, and Multimedia Networking).

the Fall semester, two of theactivities were canceled and two activities had one quarter of the students participating. Thoughthese activities got off to a slow start, the mid-year review allowed improvements to be made forthe second semester.

In addition, three more social activities were planned thathave not yet occurred.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the National Science Foundation and MTU’s, College ofEngineering for their support of this work.

They found that participants had an increased ability to think critically, creatively, and more cooperatively with better understanding and retention of material, and the development of the capacity to find interconnections among fields compared to non-participants.2.2 SITE Structure SITE offers students opportunities to participate in research projects that have an interdisciplinary perspective and are related to sustainability issues of interest to the campus and the community at large.

prior knowledge and bring misconceptions to the surface, students are more likely toencode new information and revise misunderstandings after encountering new material. Afterthis, a lesson should meaningfully engage students with new information, allowing them toactively construct new knowledge. Meaningful engagement is thinking deeply about alternativeconceptions of a topic and “deep processing, elaborative strategy use, and significant meta-cognitive reflection.” Many techniques can be used to facilitate high engagement includingconducting experiments, reading refutational texts, generating explanations for strange data, anddeveloping self-driven explanations. Many of these techniques lend themselves to collaborationand promote weighing
student beyond two articulation agreements withlocal universities. This goal is currently being pursued by Valencia’s engineering faculty. Thiswould also potentially give us the opportunity to expand on the current engineering coursesoffered (such as a “Strength of Materials” course).Another goal of the pre-engineering program is to increase the already strong connectionsValencia Community College has with the local high schools. The purpose of this is two-fold:1) Increase the opportunity for recruitment. Page 6.789.2 “Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition
