is critical to get students engaged in active learningthrough activities such as solving problems, working with each other, asking questions andgetting feedback.To enhance student learning in Statics, researchers at various institutions have explored othermethods for teaching Statics, such as developing concept map and quantifying students’conceptual understanding[1, 2], developing on-line homework or learning modules[3, 4], peer-led-team-learning[5], project-based learning[6], emporium-based course delivery[7]. Among them, theflipped classroom method[8, 9, 10] has gained popularity. In a flipped classroom, the class time isdevoted to guided instruction where students work through problems with the instructor presentto provide assistance and
curriculum.The questions driving the research were: 1. Do the third year engineering students alreadyconsider the 4 Ps when approaching an engineering solution? If so, in what engineeringchallenges are they most likely to be considered? 2. Can students address the 4 Ps inengineering challenges after being given a framework? 3. What do students think that they Page 26.478.3learned from this assignment? What surprised them? 4. Do students retain the 4 Ps weeks after 2learning the technical solutions?

Student comments suggest the materials alsochallenge their misconceptions about writing in engineering. Although the project focuses oncivil engineering, the principles behind the project and the procedures for materials developmentand assessment are applicable to any engineering discipline.1.

Initially, faculty meet with representatives of the companies toexamine and develop the project into a well-defined undertaking so that students will not go intomany different directions and lose focus. The meetings also specify company/team involvement,project deliverables, and the needed funding. Projects are selected based upon the company andthe track record of past work (if any), support the company is capable of providing, andcomponents or areas of technology which comprise the proposed project. The projects are alsochosen based upon the needed time frame; if the tasks are a priority for the company, they arenot suitable for the student teams.During the first
basic theoretical notions, developingreliable and efficient fuel cells for educational purposes can be very expensive. It has been proventhat computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models can be a critical tool to model fuel cells. Ourgoal is to take a CFD model from a CAD platform and put it into a virtual reality platform. Bydoing this, students will be able to learn about these more intuitive processes within the subjecttaught. After making a model in SolidWorks and running a simulation with the fuel cell, anundergraduate student compared the results to experimental results from the lab to validate thesimulated model. As part of the undergraduate research efforts, an undergraduate student explored the VRtechnology (engine) and developed

However, the term projecthas a larger scope, and requires the students to conduct research, come up with the design plan,implement the design, evaluate the results and propose a solution. Instructor’s feedback duringthe process is highly recommended.In this section, we will present a few representative projects of different scopes to show how tointegrate the inquiry-learning process. Although the projects were developed in the context ofcomputer networking subject, they also demonstrate the principle of effective project design toenhance the learning of students with diverse background. • In-class Project Example: Stop and Wait ARQ The main goal of the project is to find out which factor affects the efficiency of

projects. The approachtaken is the “just-in-time” introduction of lecture topics pertinent to the development ofthe students’ engineering design projects. Each of the major topics covered in class alsoinvolves an assignment and mini-report due within a short period of time after the relatedlectures. For example, the first assignment includes providing the course instructor andthe project advisors with information concerning how each team is organized along withproject specifications and goals. The second assignment, which follows lecturesconcerning patents and sources of information, requires a project “initial” backgroundinformation and patent search report. Complete lists of the assignments and associatedlecture topics are included in the

This aligns and guides the material for entry into thedie. As the material enters the die, it is impregnated with resin. Polyester, vinyl ester, andepoxies are typical resins that are used1.

include: • Stronger exam pressure in China: The final exam accounts for 90-100% of a course grade. Chinese students may be quite relaxed earlier in the semester. However, once final exams are a month away, everyone becomes very serious. • Part-time jobs: In China, students do not work and attend school. The strong pressure to dedicate substantial time and energy to study does not bode well for working students. • Instructional style: Chinese professors teach content and assign homework. Students are not empowered to research, learn on their own, and apply knowledge (application). In China, the focus is on the textbook. • Grading: In China, grades are not a secret. Grades are posted by name, highest to
