For ourpurposes, we are most interested in large, research oriented land-grant universities, likeIowa State University, places where students often have difficulty becoming engaged inthe university. 4 To that end, we have been conducting an on-going assessment of ourlearning community, the results of which we

. The usefulness of case studies in engineering curricula has been documented inresearch literature for nearly 20 years1-9. Although case studies can take various forms, the casesdiscussed here serve as writing prompts in a technical communication program for engineeringstudents. Whether in a required communication course for undergraduates or in a writingworkshop for graduate students, these cases vicariously immerse students in the details of aparticular scenario that, in the end, requires some sort of ethical decision-making, sometimesinvolving literal life-or-death judgments and often requiring written documentation of saiddecisions.Described in this paper, then, are two case studies that allow students to navigate the professionalethics of

To help students gain a physical appreciation for gyroscopicmotion, an Inquiry-Based Learning Activity (IBLA) was created.

Literature in the early 2000scharacterized the research on students’ understanding of variability as limited [11]. Furthermore,research on how engineers apply statistical techniques to a dataset, and especially how they makedesign decisions, is still lacking. An exception, and of particular interest to the present work, is astudy of Hjalmarson [12], who developed a data-analysis task to study how engineering studentsuse statistics to make operations decisions.
