theoreticalformula is used to determine rotational inertia of a single rigid component of regular geometry.13,14 The drawbacks of this technique include need to break apart the turbine to measure its internalgeometry and inability to correctly evaluate turbines with irregular or complex geometry. By 182comparison, the advantage of dynamic dynamometry is accurate assessment of turbine rotationalinertia with no knowledge of the turbine’s internal structure.We explain in this paper how dynamic dynamometry techniques can be taught in the context offour unique mechanical engineering classes: Dynamics, Numerical Methods, Thermodynamics,and Experimental Methods. Along the way, we weave together all the steps of the

Thefirst prompt asked the tutors to “reflect on your own math skills and problem-solvingapproaches. Reflect on the techniques that were successful to teach/tutor math.”One participant, who I will focus on and call L., starts by noting, “over the past few tutoring sessions, I’ve worked with a wonderful middle school student who needs assistance with her algebra class.

thecurriculum, research has shown that students’ understandings of engineering culture and theirrole within it play a significant role in determining their persistence [2].While the importance of students’ developing identities is well understood and documented inthe aggregate (see for example the findings of the Project to Assess Climate in Engineering),more recent studies have noted the lack of understanding of how actual student experiencesrelate to their developing identities [4]. Newer studies are therefore turning toward students’experiences and developing richer understandings of engineering students’ identities based onthe input of students themselves [5-7]. A gap in the research remains, however, regarding theother side of this interaction

In these workshops, students interacted withprofessional engineers working in the healthcare field. Each workshop was presented to a differentstudent audience: Workshop 1 targeted students who had previously expressed interest in the topicof healthcare engineering where as the students who attended Workshop 2 had some or no previousinterest in that field. The workshops, although gender inclusive, were focused on especiallyinspiring female engineers. Surveys were designed and administered at the end of each workshop.Data was collected and analyzed to assess the impact of the proposed workshops on studentmotivation and retention in

In the collaborative mode, the students are taskedwith maximizing the minimum rate per user over the whole group, while in the competitive modethey are tasked with maximizing their individual rate while possibly jamming their peers. Thepaper presents results of a survey assessing student opinions of the relative benefits ofcollaboration and competition in this exercise. While the results depend heavily on studentself-reporting, the data suggest that there is value in both the competitive and collaborativeelements of this exercise, with some caveats.IntroductionActive learning has been shown to improve student engagement, academic achievement, andfulfillment of learning outcomes

To prepare the students fortheir future in GCSP, students complete planning assignments which require them to meetfaculty and develop a plan to complete the GCSP requirements.The impact of this course on first year GCSP students’ awareness of the Grand Challenges, theirinterests, and their confidence that they will complete the GCSP was assessed.

In the future wewill design surveys that allow quantitative measure of satisfaction of the project sponsor. Wealso plan to conduct a study to document students’ perceptions on the impact of the projectexperience in their academic and professional careers. We also intend to design pre-test andpost-test that permits us to measure the level of knowledge reached by each group and to developsurveys as an instrument of course assessment. These tools can demonstrate possible differencesin the impact of this course on students with different profiles.AcknowledgementsWe would like to acknowledge the Department of Engineering Sciences

Assessment and Conclusion:The Engineering Team did not maintain a time log for the project, but a safe estimate would be acombined 300 hours spent researching, building, and testing the umbrella.

Engineering education is no exception tothis. There have been numerous pedagogical advances such as focusing on students' learningstyles, teaching aids, in-class assessments, and use of more hands-on activities and multi-media, which made education more effective. Most engineering majors, some more thanothers, have dedicated laboratories for hands-on learning of specific
