As many students are sequential learners, theyappreciate the consistent pattern. The module Motivation establishes the reason forwanting to know about the topic, its importance, its Why? This is

creative problem solving methodology. In addition to thedaytime activities, a small design project was assigned as „homework” that was completed inteams. Students created teams of three or four that collaborated for the week with the stipulationthat students from the same institution could not be on the same team.The instructional portion of each day was approximately eight hours (including breaks andlunch) although often the students were self-motivated to work through breaks and lunch! Thedays of the week were formatted so that basic skills and tools were developed before moving tosubsequent skills that relied upon the previous ones. For example, before creative problemsolving can be learned and put to good use, 1) creativity and teamwork must

Asopposed to content-based courses, where the focus is on mastering material, a T-shapedcourse can strengthen connections. In content-based courses, reflection often takes theform of a one-page assignment at the end of the class. What students most often produceis a summary of the content they have learned along with a surface level assessment ofwhere they might use the information in the future.I have been developing tool, called the Reflection Ladder (Figure 1), that is loosely basedupon Bloom’s Taxonomy and is used throughout the semester.

capable of concentrating for 30 minutes, there are many more distractions back in the dorm than there used to be, including the internet, computer games, TVs, DVDs, cell phones, i-phones, i-pods, instant messengers, web cams, etc. (everything that makes a “gamer.”) Students should be encouraged to get away from all of this when it is time to study. According to recent studies of the brain utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the areas of the brain which govern logical, rather than emotionally-based thinking, are just being developed during adolescence at approximately college age.15 We suspect that this fact may be connected to the result, shown by the survey, that the students’ ability to

skills applicable to an engineering career.Research on the effectiveness of an IC in engineering courses has focused on two fronts: studentsatisfaction and student learning. A majority of the studies focus on student satisfaction and findhigh satisfaction with the class format. Bland21, Haden et al.24 and Kellogg26 all found thatstudents enjoyed the IC format and felt it motivated them to learn. On the other hand, studiesusing the IC in engineering courses have shown marginal or no improvement in student learningwhen comparing an IC to traditional course. Papadopoulos and Roman14 used the ConceptAssessment Tool in Statics (CATS) to compare the understanding of students from an IC andtraditional statics course and found no statistically

I now view the topics we address as a way to build my understanding of the field, and not just something I need to learn for a grade.” DP6: “Yes.

Appropriation art mixesconcepts such as found objects and minimalism. The artist repurposes existing art into a differentcontext and without much modification [3]. Andy Warhol appropriated the designs of Coca-Colabottles and Campbell’s soup cans and developed a subgenre recognized as pop art. Subsequently,Elaine Sturtevant’s appropriated Warhol’s appropriated work and even used his silk screenequipment in the process [4].

This technology addresses some of the challenges and goals. Onlinedatabases provide a host of problems, and the ability to change numbers automatically decreasesthe ability of students to copy work. The use of endless or adaptive homework assignmentsincreases student opportunities for practice and immediate feedback. Further, the grading load ishandled by the computer system, not the instructor, reducing instructor fatigue and protecting theinstructor’s time. Yet, these tools typically do not conscientiously engage self-assessment orinstructor observation

opportunities for students to create solutions toengineering design challenges. As described by Haynie [3], the tools/equipment in today’s P-12engineering education labs may appear much smaller and safer than the behemoth industrialmachines found in shop classes during the manual arts and industrial arts eras; however, moderntools/equipment can be just as dangerous if not used properly. As P-12 educators seek to provideincreased opportunities to engage students in engineering design experiences and develop a moretechnologically and engineering literate society [4], safety must remain at the core of allengineering education instructional efforts [1]. This is reflected in the current P-12 engineeringeducation standards [4], Standards for Technological
decades, there has been an exponential growth of data, and now the quantity is farbeyond the human intelligence to process it. In addition, the traditional computer programscannot process the data effectively either. Therefore, neural network based artificial intelligenceis needed. This approach emulates the learning processes of the human brain, so it is also calledmachine learning (ML).
