by students, granting them artistic benefit to journal their projects’progression and team dynamics. We report on the successes and shortcomings of interacting withvideo in the classroom, and introduce our research and studies done in this field.In this paper, we focus on the use of video in a large introductory engineering design coursecentered on project-based work performed in student teams. Student projects span a wide rangeof categories, for example, designing equipment for the disabled, building web sites, anddeveloping architectural layouts for lab spaces. Projects are typically completed for not-for-profitorganizations and are always aligned with a real client, who initiates the project. Students presenton their progress to the

14.130.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 A Team-Based Design Competition for Freshmen Engineering Students that Emphasizes Sustainable DesignAbstractThis paper discusses a design competition for freshman students in the School of Engineering atJames Madison University. Our engineering program has a sustainability focus that isspecifically related to sustainable design and sustainable systems analysis. Our philosophy ofsustainable design incorporates technical, economic, environmental, and societal criteria. Ourprogram includes a ten credit design course sequence in which development of tangibleprototypes and models will be emphasized. The purpose of the freshman design competition is tointroduce our
the major. The primary goal of the Environmental Engineeringcourse is to inform students about what environmental engineering is and what environmental Page 14.330.4engineers do on the job. Since 2006, rather than solely bringing in a variety of guest speakers tothe class, students also work on projects to illustrate types of work done by environmentalengineers. By nature, the projects cannot be too technical or involved since the background ofthe students is minimal. The fifteen 50-minute class periods is the course also limits the scope ofwhat can be done and expected from the students.The first year 1-credit Introduction to Environmental

This is defined by James et al.as “familiarity with science in the wider context of human social affairs.”[5] Students need toemerge from a science education program not only with a sound knowledge base of scientificconcepts and phenomena, but also with good scientific process and thinking skills that willenable them to extend their knowledge as they encounter unfamiliar situations, and to criticallyanalyze scientific information to make informed decisions that affect their lives.[6, 7] Science andtechnology are deeply imbedded in the lives of today’s students, and impact political, technical,and social
