(a) Thermodynamics (b) Fluid Mechanics.As Figures 2a and 2b were presented to the student, emphasis was placed on the fact that thesetwo categories, “Less Prepared” and “More Prepared,” were based entirely on study practicesand behavior. In particular, the differences in scores were not due to any direct measure ofintelligence.CommitmentAlthough not intended as an assessment tool, after the two lectures on metacognition, students inboth classes were asked to commit to using at least one of the learning techniques discussed.They could choose more than one, and many did so. No attempt was made to assure studentsactually made use of any of these methods, whether committed to or not.Following are the

Saint-Venant’s principle says that if you move away from concentrated loads by a distance equal to the width of the specimen, the stress can be treated as uniform. Do your observations support that principle?ENGRD 2020 Discussion Activity —4—Appendix B: Step by step (SbS) version of the lab handout Uniaxial Tension Test Group Members: Goals: During this uniaxial tension test, you will: • develop a better understanding of the concepts of stress and strain; • learn how to measure elastic modulus

(MEIDT) at NewYork City College of Technology has been working on strengthening the skills of its students inmanufacturing and design to respond to the urgent needs of the manufacturing industry ingeneral, and the prosthetic and medical devices (P&MD) industries in particular, to high-skilledengineers and technicians and to provide a national model for advanced technology education.Medical Devices include: (a) Surgical and medical instruments; (b) Surgical appliances andsupplies; and (c) Dental equipment and supplies. The educational merit of the project is that itmotivates students to do engineering rather than studying engineering. Students get theopportunity to connect classroom experience to the medical device industry through
conceptual understanding in statics1. Their study asked students to describein concrete language the process they took to solve (mathematical) problems. Though thiswritten reflection did not improve procedural knowledge, “[b]y having student explain theirmathematical solutions, students can make links between problem-solving procedures and courseconcepts. Writing may also be used to promote reflection, which can result in metacognitivethinking and adaptive problem solving”3. These written process descriptions process showed“significant gains in conceptual understanding”1.

cost composite manufacturing processes for vehicles and built the Viking 40 and Viking 45 X Prize vehicles as demonstrators. Hybrid electric Viking 32 was built with fund- ing from the Federal Highway Administration to demonstrate and develop carbon fiber honeycomb as an energy impact absorber—a development that was unique to Western. Viking 32 also became the world’s first biomethane hybrid as we demonstrated ”Cow Power to Horsepower”. We have been developing a renewable fuel source, biomethane (a.k.a. renewable natural gas) since 2004. We built a compressed natural gas fuel station at the Vander Haak Dairy to help us develop our biogas upgrading technology. Funded by the Department of Energy, EPA, Paul Allen

As an example, Figure 9 indicates the generalattitude of students towards online learning. Students responded more favorably, on a percentagebasis, over the Summer and Fall semesters when compared to the responses for the Spring 2020semester. This may indicate that students are getting used to online learning, also perhaps

By comparison, thegoal of the current effort is to use the engineering software as a vehicle to facilitate withinstudents a deeper approach to Contextual Knowledge. 1 Would the jack function properly if the car was replaced by a Ford F150? 2 How does changing the material of the lift pad (to steel/aluminum/polymer/composite/etc) effect the jack performance? 3 How does reducing the thickness of the main bracket by 10% effect the design? 4 How does reducing the main bracket shaft diameter by 10% effect the design? 5 Discuss differences in performance using Bracket B (supplied) in the design.Table 4.

area, unless “beams” is explicitlyincluded as a keyword. This limitation of the OPL search function is the motivating factor formany of our keyword suggestions.Six facets (or sub-sets) for keyword list creation are suggested below, and summarized inAppendix B: 1. Taxonomical positionSince an instructor cannot search by subject, chapter, or section, we suggest including theseexplicitly in the keywords. 2. Common alternate or closely-associated termsSince some terms we have used in the taxonomical structure have well-known alternate orclosely-associated expressions (e.g. “space mechanics”, “orbital mechanics” and “Kepler’slaws”), these should be included as keywords. This is especially helpful because of the lack ofcross-referencing in the
teaching partnershipswith faculty in select junior and senior level courses. We proposed designing a two-to-five yearmixed methods educational research project to assess the results. (See Appendix B for a diagramof that research project.) And finally, as a critical component of that proposal, we operationalizedthe ability to communicate as communicative self-efficacy. To date, we have completed the firstpilot and are beginning the second. We have begun meeting and coordinating with MAE facultyteaching designated junior and senior MAE courses. And, we have completed the first year ofour multi-year research project.Results of the Early Term Survey for communicative self-efficacyHerein, we will be presenting the results of early term survey
