Finally, thevideo concludes with our take home message: “Cheating isn’t worth it. You will get caught, itmay taint your future academic career, and, ultimately, you will not learn what you need to knowon the exams, in later courses, and in your careers.”Making the VideoThe progression from the skit to the video was an evolutionary process. Initially, the content wasdesigned to be performed as a live skit in front of the class on the first day of classes.

” February 15, 2004I. Introduction The opening sections of Technically Speaking: Why All Americans Need to Know Moreabout Technology (2002), a joint publication of the National Research Council and the NationalAcademy of Engineering, make it clear that the initiative called “technological literacy” isconcerned with a sophisticated and heterogeneous combination of “knowledge, ways of thinking,and capabilities” and focused on ambitious goals: “To take full advantage of the benefits and torecognize, address, and even avoid some of the pitfalls of technology. . . [to help citizens]become better stewards of technological change”.1 To borrow from the quote that begins this paper, it is unfortunate to see such a promisingconcept saddled with a

The college elected to be visitedunder the previous criteria in 1998. After the successful visit, the departments began todiscuss plans for implementing outcomes based assessment on the program level.The effort to formulate Program Educational Objectives (Criterion 2) and ProgramOutcomes (Criterion 3) intensified about three years prior to the 2004 accreditation visit.It was also during this year

11.522.2AbstractThe original motivation for this project came from an interest in preserving the quality ofrecycled steel by reducing the amount of copper that ultimately ends up in steelproduction. There are a number of factors propelling this kind of research. One is thatour newly mined iron resources are finite, expensive and non-renewable. By working ona project with a large motivation in recycling and environmental issues, students becomeaware of contemporary issues surrounding the global environment and green engineering.One design path to reduce copper is to reduce the amount going into automobiles duringtheir production. Another is to provide efficient means for retrieving the copper beforerecycling. The student design team followed both paths

Work experience in industry is arequirement of the teaching position but no experience in teaching was required in order tobe hired.

Unfortunately, design issues, such as weight, shaft strength toprevent buckling, and overall practicality, where not considered in the proposal.If the ME students had performed adequate research of the ideas they proposed, they would haverecognized that the designs were not practical proposals. Many of the “new” designs proposedby the ME students had already been analyzed, tested, and proven (or disproven) as valid oreffective bicycle designs. Many of the designs dated from the turn of the 20th century, whenbicycling was a prominent mode of transportation. In effect, the ME students wanted to focus on
