Roche also noted thatworkload not perceived by students to be associated with learning had a slightly negative effecton student evaluations of teaching[19]. In a later paper, Marsh[15] constructed models whichseparated course workload into “Good” (perceived by students to be valuable to their learning)and “Bad” (unnecessary, excessive, etc.) hours – as originally proposed but not published[15] byGillmore and Greenwald – with Good workload positively and Bad workload negativelyassociated with overall teaching rating [15]. Note that the teaching evaluation data used in thepresent study did not discriminate between Good and Bad workloads. It is possible that theslight negative relationship observed in the present study between course workload and

A major part of this project has been the building, nurturing, and grooming ofpartnerships between Georgia Tech and local minority high schools. As part of thisproject we have developed a model of partnerships that is grounded in the public policyliterature and that describes the evolution of the partnerships created between GeorgiaTech and four minority-dominated high schools as part of STEP. In this paper we willdescribe the theoretical framework of the partnership model, outline ways to

Without question the retreat instills students with a respect for theirchosen profession and greatly motivates and stimulates them to pursue addition interests in theirstudies.

A Real-Time Program Assessment ToolVital to the effective administration of any organization is the ability to quickly identify andaddress potential operational issues. Unfortunately, even though the technologies are readilyavailable to construct tools to facilitate quick-response assessment, many educational institutions(including The Ohio State University community at large) still rely heavily on paper-and-pencilcourse evaluation surveys given at the end of the academic term to assess course or programeffectiveness.

The students hear lectures and attendworkshops by faculty and corporate leaders, travel to selected industrial and business sites, andwork with companies on significant and real-world management and technological projects.For the project portion of the program, the 20 students are div ided into 4 project teams of 5students each.

tinkering background with thedissection of machines and use of tools, students are now entering with computer, video games,and other “virtual” experiences. This focus has left a void in the ability to relate engineeringprinciples to real-world devices and applications. In this paper, we introduce a new approach forfilling this void in a mechanical engineering curriculum. In particular, we describe modificationsand extensions to machine design courses to include hands-on exercises. Through theapplication of “mechanical breadboards,” clear relationships between machine design principlesand the reality of machine components are established. These relationships reduce the number oftopics covered in the courses, but greatly increase the interest of the

For two summers, EESP has invited diverse groups ofseveral dozen, doctoral engineering students and junior faculty members to participate in aweeklong, hands-on workshop focused on teaching philosophy, classroom skills, and theessentials of the academic career. This paper outlines the background and scope of EESP, thebenefits enjoyed by participants, and tips on establishing EESP at other institutions.Participants testify to enjoying myriad benefits during and after EESP, especially in effectiveteaching

. Abstract Lab-based courses are generally not available in an online format because of the need forexpensive lab equipment, time consuming technical assistance and troubleshooting. The recentincrease in demand for online instruction extends past current pedagogical methods and is mademore problematic with the addition of a lab component. As part of our initial research, insummer 2010 we implemented an online course by slightly modifying an existing on-campuscourse. Through this exploration, we collect student and staff feedback that will allow us tofurther develop an innovative pedagogical framework specifically tailored for engineeringstudents in an online environment.

The design scale was chosen for severalreasons. First, it was developed for measuring self-efficacy of engineers specific to an importantengineering capability. Second, it is a tested scale with high content and construct validity. Indeveloping our modeling scale, we have used a similar approach: the subtasks of the modelingprocess are identified and listed and then students are asked how capable they believe they are incarrying each task. We have tested the scale using data from undergraduate engineering students.This paper serves
