the computational modeling of mechanics of materials, especially failure processes such as fracture and plasticity in semicrystalline polymers. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Effects of Alternative Course Design and Instructional Methods in the Engineering ClassroomThis work-in-progress paper reports on the effects of alternative course design and instructionalmethods in the engineering classroom. The primary method of delivery in undergraduateengineering classrooms remains the traditional lecture format, or teacher-centered instruction,despite evidence that active learning, or student-centered teaching practices, are significantlymore effective

will normally agree that ethics are importantand can select the correct answer for simple ESI questions. But what do engineering andcomputing students quickly draw to mind in relation to ESI? To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across 15 settings where instructors had integrated contentand learning goals pertaining to ESI (ranging from first-year introductory courses to coursesfully focused on ethics at different

Figure 2.Another theme of the TRCV are questions that assess students’ ability to interpret geometryinformation in typical 3D problem figures (pictorial representation) and express that informationin formal vector notation (symbolic representation). Others have noted the interpretation of 3Dfigures as a common point of difficulty in statics [23]. Figure 4 illustrates our approach withitem 9 that instructs the student to read a position vector from a 3D figure. This skill is logicallyimportant to students’ ability to learn effectively from 3D figures illustrating inherently 3Dstatics concepts (e.g. how the cross product is used to compute a moment) and to solve 3D staticsproblems in general. Figure 4. Example 3D figure interpretation

Kuechler(2005) argue that while some multiple-choice questions do test only superficial knowledge,questions can be designed such that they target different levels of student learning andunderstanding. While multiple-choice exams are a logical way for a large number of exams to beimplemented and graded, it is difficult for instructors to design multiple-choice questions thattarget concepts requiring a deeper level of understanding, as opposed to strictly rememberingfacts. This challenge suggests the need for validating multiple-choice exams that claim to targetthese complex concepts. One way to potentially validate an instructor-created multiple-choiceexam is through an external measurement from an exam or assessment that has already beenvalidated

used in a specific classby a specific instructor. What was the instructor’s general philosophy and approach to includingindustry-based learning in the course? What did that integration look like within the context ofthe class being taught? And how might that approach be different for a course with differentcontent or at a different level in the curriculum?Classroom observations were conducted during the same time frame as the interviews. Fiveclasses were observed: Statics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Computational Methods, andSystem Dynamics. Those courses were selected in order to get a broad cross section of thecurriculum. They were also selected based on recommendations from students and alumni offaculty who they felt did a
