This projectaimed to unite the two subjects and introduce a goal-oriented design project for each subject: amodel rocket and a hand-thrown glider. Both projects featured a final report designed toemphasize different communication skills. The model rocket project required students to submita narrated video presentation that included video of their rocket’s flight, analysis of theirtrajectory, and various images and videos collected during the design and construction phases ofthe project. For the glider project, the student teams were required to submit a written technicalreport detailing design decisions, construction, and flight performance.

The realization of a shift in technology creates the hope that those who move into the new technology will also leave behind bad habits as they adopt this new paradigm of teaching.

Both programs are housed in the Engineering andTechnology Department and emphasize strong, hands-on applied work, focusing on designingsolutions for the challenges confronting industry today. As the curriculum for the plasticsengineering program was being developed, it was proposed to bring the two programs, in twoseparate courses, together in a collaborative effort.

engineering students(unlike all of the other disciplines) depended more on faculty for support than their peers, andattributes this to the high percentage (over 50%) of international students in the engineeringdepartment. Engineering students also experienced the theme of self direction differently thanstudents from other departments. Engineering students felt that self direction meant learninghow to do research independently, something that you had to teach yourself because thatinformation could not be obtained from a class. Students from other non engineeringdepartments cited their peers as a key mechanism for learning new material.

The challenge is that many first- and second- year engineering courses arelarge and assessment and evaluation of student work is in the hands of TAs who are oftenprovided little to no training to perform more traditional short answer problem grading much lesscomplex student work assessment. So, bringing authentic open-ended problem solving into alarge engineering course necessitates a level of TA training for which there is little precedence inthe teaching of engineering.Much of the development and research on training and professional development of TAs hasfocused on large introductory courses, particularly in science
