In some cases, alumni have strongly encouraged their universitiesto incorporate the use of such resources, realizing that they themselves would have benefitedfrom an earlier introduction to using these resources.Several studies have evaluated the role of confidence as a facilitator of or inhibitor to learning.McElhoe, Kamberelis, and Peters7 found that in teaching computer skills to non-traditionalstudents, the confidence that the students gained in using computers was more important to thestudents than the actual skills that they learned.

Possibly the most powerful outcome of ECP is that learning experiences can besignificantly more authentic. In the intro Circuits course, for example, students are offered theoption of either doing traditional, step-by-step procedural labs or a new type of design-based lab,with both sequences addressing all course content. Finally, the general engineering electronicscourse provides a compressed version of the ECSE sequence which permits transfer to beaddressed quickly for

The student’s own achievement record orthe attitudes of any single teacher do not have the same degree of influence. One researcherstates that, “a student’s initial competence in mathematics and science grows out of familypractices.”3Parent advocacy and education groups have deemed that “parent involvement” is a necessarycomponent of student success4. The definition of “parent involvement,” however, varies fromstate to state, town to town and even school to school within a town.

Many questions come to mind, such as; what are the advantages of thisapproach; what are the pitfalls; are projects, and project teams, more or less successful with apeer project manager; are team dynamics better or worse; how should the student PM be chosen;how should the student PM be evaluated?

[17]. These are in stark contrast to the vast majority ofproblems that engineering students solve which are usually focused on a relatively narrow rangeof technology (e.g., statics or thermodynamics), have only one correct answer, and typically onlyone method to get that answer. However, ill-structured problems are some of the most importantthat students will solve because they are much more similar to the types of problems they willface after graduation. Those problems typically do not have an answer in the back of the bookwhich is one of the reasons why engineers are well-compensated because they must apply whatthey have learned to new and more complex problems than they studied in school. These ill-structured problems can be unnerving to

Since thiscourse was also offered to graduate students, it was a challenge for the instructor to balance thecontents of the course for students with different backgrounds. One acceptable solution that theinstructor came up was to assign a new project, called term project for graduate students. The mainobjective of this extra work was to motivate grad students to implement their research skills toinvestigate challenges in AM industries and report them in a paper. They were required to reviewat least 20 journal papers in AM field. Table 1. The weight of student's performance in the new course, based on homework, quizzes, midterm
