Mechanical Engineering. The study uses a material-semioticapproach based on actor-network theory (ANT), which focuses on the interactions betweenpeople, things, and ideas within a constantly shifting network. That approach is used to study theintersections between students’ network of academic practice and the network of industry-basedpractice that they are preparing to enter. Specifically, it looks at how industry-based problemsand examples are represented in material aspects of students’ academic practice throughhomework, lecture slides, and other course materials.The study was designed to provide a foundation for a new initiative being launched in Spring2019. That initiative is part of a multi-year effort in the Department of Mechanical

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

and theoreticalcontent of a course via video or online content whereas the classroom time is used for activelearning based activities. The blended learning methodology is a combination of traditionalelements and flipped format where some content is covered outside of the class time and somecontent is covered in the class. [1,2,3] For a blended course, more than 20% but less than 80% ofthe material should be covered electronically. [4,5] These formats offer a solution to the problemof limited classroom space and scheduling issues. In addition to this, following are some of theadvantages for the students and instructors. • Content delivery in limited amount of time • Increased student motivation and engagement • Better preparation

obtain help with course materialwhile other students were taking exams and quizzes. This paper compares the overallperformance of both sets of students in order to determine which assessment approach was moreeffective in helping the students learn the course material. This paper also addresses the questionof whether distributed assessment provided true “academic” benefits or whether it simply actedas a mechanism to encourage students to remain current with the course’s subject matter.IntroductionTeaching innovations such as the flipped classroom and the studio format are a result ofinstructors seeking methods to improve their ability to teach. The literature generally agrees onthe overall improvement in student achievement provided by these

introductory mechanics courses, particularly within the first three years of teaching. Thefirst study presented in the paper uses the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS)assessment to validate instructor written multiple-choice exams for summative assessmentapplications in a statics course.The second study presented in this paper uses the CATS assessment along with an associatedconfidence scale to provide students with feedback on how the relationship between theirconfidence and performance changes over time. This evidence from prior years was shared withcurrent students, along with recommendations for effective study strategies.Literature ReviewClassroom Assessment in Statics,Multiple-choice exams are widely recognized as a convenient method of
