In order to provide our students the opportunity to effectivelycommunicate their work, critically analyze and critique open-ended designs, the projects arerotated between teams for each section of the design. For the final design, each team is returnedtheir original design project and critiques in order to complete the final analysis. During therotation of projects, the teams have the opportunity to work on the design of three differentprocesses, to evaluate one another’s work, integrate design reviews into their final analysis andlearn by critically analyzing the work done by other design teams.

management.The course consists of a one and one half hour lecture period once per week to the entire class ofstudents on topics necessary to engineering design and engineering management. There are alsoone and one half hour laboratory sections each week given to three separate sections in whichstudents work in teams and at computers in a computer lab on tutorials and team designactivities. In the first semester, the student teams are led through the process of engineeringdesign to create a structured design. The students learn and use various engineering tools todesign a set of medicine balls and a medicine ball rack to meet specific criteria for a commercialgym.Engineering management majors at this university are also taking their math and basic

Thethree, fundamental classes of HLM implemented across disciplines are: first, the growth curvemodel, which usually has a time variant structure where observations are nested withinindividuals; second, the within-person variation model, which proves useful for monitoringrepeated measurements for one person or entity within a time invariant structure; and third, theclustered observations model, wherein there are tiered hierarchies such as students withinsections within courses or, say, workers within factories within corporations. The fundamental assumption of HLM is that variance of parameters occurs at more thanone level. To organize and analyze data sets in such a hierarchical manner has many distinctadvantages: first, acknowledges and

Thermodynamics Courses through Problem-Based Learning and Entrepreneurially Minded Learning ModulesAbstractThis paper presents problem-based learning and entrepreneurially minded learning modulesfocused on fluid power applications in undergraduate Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamicscourses. This effort focuses on creating awareness and engaging students in the area of fluidpower, and challenging them to apply the concepts and theories in class to analyze and designreal-world fluid power systems. Therefore, the course modules target both technical andentrepreneurial mindset objectives. Assessment methods and results are detailed and discussed inthe paper. Preliminary results indicate positive student learning in the area of
the university recreation center, yoga classes, nature walks, journal reflections, laughter,meditation, and art classes and field trips.Assessment and ImpactAssessment of the workshop is carried out via surveys during and after the duration of theworkshop. Select visits are made to schools to watch teachers integrate and deliver the materialprovided to them during the ECT workshop. Teachers are invited to a fall and spring follow upmeeting to discuss the impact of the workshop and the ease or difficulty in delivering theengineering clinic modules. This assessment provides key information in planning activities forfuture years. Successful teachers are invited back to participate as mentors in the next session.Summer 2006 ECT WorkshopA total of

Students saw the value in the projectexperience and many of the traditional benefits to service learning in spite of the communitypartner’s involvement being limited. The experience, however, didn’t necessarily change thestudents’ personal values or convince them that they had meaningful community impact. Futurework would explore whether engineering-based service-learning courses should build moremeaningful relationships than the redesigned course. This may be dependent on courseoutcomes. The course evaluation showed that the class promoted

activity for each of themodules in an entrepreneurship class focused on bringing together business and engineeringinnovations. Although role-play activities are effective in allowing students to take on differingperspectives, assessment for these activities can be troublesome, especially for classes of largersize, due to the individualized nature of the activity. Some activities to grade these activitiesinclude concept maps, reflection assignments, and papers conducted in a pre-and-post format tomeasure what students understood before and after participating in the activity. In this study, wefocus on the use of concept maps to serve as an assessment tool for student learning through theguided RPS activity. Concept maps can be used to
ofunits from one to three. Student feedback from the one-unit class indicated that there was a lackof cultural and social context leaving them ill equipped to deal with the shock of another culture.Therefore, we developed a three-unit course, taught in collaboration with professors from theSJSU Department of History, who are specialized in the history India or China. With moreadvanced knowledge, the GTI fellows can better appreciate and understand what they encounterduring the tour, thereby deepening their learning. Third, we plan to introduce learning moduleson developing intercultural competency and global leadership skills for the 2012 cohort so thatGTI fellows can better develop their leadership potential.

enhance their innovation capabilities through co-teaching and co-learningfrom faculty and students from differing academic units. This novel approach specificallyinvolves the collaborative teaching (i.e., multiple instructors in the same classroom at the sametime) of innovation practices with faculty across the disciplines of liberal arts, engineeringtechnology, and business management/entrepreneurship. Examining this approach tocollaborative teaching across academic units is the focus of this study and preliminary resultswill be shared in this paper.Background and Research QuestionsInnovation education is a developing field that requires a solid understanding in order to bestprovide students opportunities to develop innovation mindsets and
wererelated to thermodynamics and energy. The objective of these projects was to demonstratethermodynamic- and energy-related concepts to the public audience in general and elementary andmiddle school students in particular. The students could choose a project from a list of projectsthat museums were interested in or they could initiate their own project. The staffs fromcommunity partners visited the class and explained some of the projects and their generalexpectations to students. The students prepared a proposal for the project which then was sharedwith the museum contact persons for their comments and approvals. The students implementedtheir team projects and prepared a report. Then, they presented their projects to museum staffs andhanded over
leadership to better help students.There are a variety of ways in which students can collaborate with each other in class, andpotentially increase the scope of their social network. For example, team projects includeassignments that students are required to complete with one or more classmates. These projectsgive students opportunities to meet together and possibly form relationships outside of theclassroom. Students may also be asked to share ideas with classmates informally duringindividual class periods (e.g., participating in a “Think, Pair, Share” activity”).Collaborative LearningIn higher education, instructors desire to use teaching techniques to help improve studentoutcomes. The instructional techniques used affect student learning outcomes
lifelong learning.Nelson4 described a general education class targeted to engineering and technology students. Theprimary objectives of the class were to provide students with the opportunity to think reflectivelyon merits and drawbacks of technology in a personal as well as global and societal context and topromote lifelong learning and skills. Assignments and discussions that help students developtheir own opinions and attitudes regarding the impact of engineering and technology on globaland societal issues instill a passion for learning in some students. Most people naturally want todo something in their lifetime that benefits society, so discussing “the bigger picture” can be animportant motivator for sustained lifelong learning
