majorityof students in these programs, including those at SAIT and NAIT, are either from Calgaryor province of Alberta, in which Calgary is located, so that these averages are largelytaken from the same pool of students and thus can be compared directly.The high school average gap between students in the other engineering programs andapplicants of Energy Engineering program reflects a lower academic readiness of thelatter group. We believe the academic readiness gap is widened after completing a two-year diploma program at a polytechnic. Anecdotally, we heard from colleagues oncampus that mathematics and physics courses taught at polytechnics focus on usingready-made formulas for a fixed number of problems and do not teach therefore how toanalyze a

In Given/Find,students are required to use appropriate variables and notations to represent what is given and whatis to be found. By relating given information to relevant principles, tentative strategies along withthe associated rationale are presented in Strategy, followed by governing equations. When a systemof independent equations for the equal number of unknowns is obtained, Matlab is used to findnumerical solutions. Finally, the problem solving is concluded by students’ reflection on theproblem by verifying the correctness of the solution and discussing

Students were required to estimate answers before attempting homework problems and reflect on confidence afterwards. Students were further encouraged to identify reasons when they DID NOT have confidence in answers on exam questions and some missed points were given back back when a student offered a rationale for why an answer was wrong that displayed good conceptual intuition.ii.

Course enrollment and student grades at course completion are inherent in theconduct of the class. If Dynamics were an elective class, enrollment might indicatechanges in course or instructor popularity. However, because Dynamics is required forall mechanical and civil engineering majors, enrollment should reflect the health of theengineering programs in general.

Some self-improvementmodels are based on an action-observation-reflection cycle [16], but if instructors are teachingalone without external input, it may be difficult for them to be objective about their outcomesand take time to reflect how things might be better. Based on our experience with the Staticsprogram at the Florida Institute of Technology, we believe that when we work together to sharebest practices and compare data on outcomes, everyone wins.

In an IBLA module, students areprovided with physical models and asked to predict the outcome of an activity.

Students come tolectures sometimes tired, bored, or just have lots of things going on in their mind, either personal,or course/program related, etc. As such it is important to set their mind clear to be ready to digestthe new material they are going to learn in the course. It is also important to excite them enoughto come to early morning classes and keep their attention to stay in the late afternoon classeswhile staying focused.This paper discusses the use of different methods to increase engagement, attention andattendance in class and the students’ reflection on these methods.
