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

was calculated based onCohen’s kappa. Ethical issues topics, definitions, and IRR are summarized in Table 3. For thecodes with kappa values less than 0.60 (* in Table 3), the two coders discussed these codes withthe fourth author. Subsequently, the first coder recoded all responses for the themes with lowagreement, a new set of 50 responses were selected (with some intentional sampling of the lowfrequency codes) and coded by the second coder. Table 3 reports IRR from the second round forthese themes.After the second round of coding, all of the codes reached at least moderate levels of agreement,with the exception of engineering decisions under uncertainty (very rare in the sub-set with twocoders) and employer / workplace issues. The main

methodof assessment and have been developed for numerous areas in science and engineering (Streveler& Litzinger, 2008). For engineering specifically, the Statics Concept Inventory (Steif &Dantzler, 2005) was developed to identify and target student misconceptions about commontopics in statics. A concept inventory for statics is useful since the course is pertinent in theengineering curriculum; many courses build upon both the content and problem-solvingstrategies developed in a statics course (Steif & Dantzler, 2005).Students may have different degrees of conceptual knowledge when entering the classroom, andinstructors must design their curriculum to account for varying misconceptions accordingly(Streveler & Litzinger, 2008). There

displayinglower spatial skills ability5,6. In many cases, these students struggle with, and eventually drop outof engineering programs, simply because they have not been given the chance to develop theseskills.The good news is that spatial visualization skills are not innate. Spatial skills can be developedwith practice7 and several schools and researchers have implemented programs to aid thedevelopment of SVS8. Sorby’s “Developing Spatial Thinking” curriculum is the most wide-spreadprogram and has been implemented in over 41 engineering schools with the help of the NSF-funded ENGAGE Engineering initiative9. Data collected over the past two decades at MichiganTechnological University clearly show significant improvement in spatial skill test scores after

Paper ID #26809Assessment of Project-Based Learning Courses Using Crowd SignalsMr. Georgios Georgalis, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Georgios is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue Univer- sity and has completed his undergraduate degree at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His research concentrates on a new approach to project risk assessment that is human-centric and allows for prediction of upcoming failures, which gives practitioners the opportunity to prevent them.Dr. Karen Marais, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Dr. Karen Marais’ educational research focuses on improving

avenues oflearning to students with different learning styles. A blended or partially flipped classroom is thestep in that direction. This methodology combines the advantages of in-class learning with out ofclass online learning. The out of class learning involves students preparing content on their ownby watching videos and then taking online quizzes. A blended learning approach was adopted forthe “Electrical Circuits” course at Missouri University of Science and Technology. This studypresented here presents a comparison of different aspects of the blended learning format to thatof a traditional lecture format for this course.IntroductionThe use of technology in education is not new but the use has been limited to enablingtechnology in
