completing a capstone-type project, an approach antithetical to way peoplereally learn. As a result, learners often learn content with little or no regard for the world inwhich the knowledge is to be applied. This approach is analogous to having all of the requiredbuilding materials delivered to construction site but having no blueprint to work from – howdoes it all fit together?The goal of engineering technician education should not be limited to the transfer of knowledgefrom instructor to student, but more importantly the development of proficient individuals;individuals who have a well-organized knowledge base and skills set that they can apply to solvereal-world problems and who are ready to learn and adapt as technology changes7

Students are also required to take two courses inelectronics and instrumentation during this year, which also have a lab component. The two-course sequence in vibrations and controls emphasizes the fundamental understanding of thetopics involved and utilizes MATLAB heavily for studios and projects. Group projects andstudios, both experimental and analytical, are required to be performed in several of thesecourses, culminating in technical presentations and reports.Several of the mechanical engineering courses and some engineering science courses havedesign component to some extent through studio or term projects, providing the opportunity tointroduce

The experience positively impacted how students viewed engineering and theirintentions for including it in their teaching.INTRODUCTION “Most people think that technology is little more than the application of science to solve practical problems…They are not aware that modern technology is the fruit of a complex interplay between science, engineering, politics, ethics, law, and other factors.

The need for revision becameapparent when students were assigned a project to analyze the structural safety and efficiency ofthe Washington Monument. Their questions and the ways they were putting concepts togetherrequired a map that more accurately reflects how an engineer uses the concepts (see Figure 2).The revised map more effectively shows how loading and geometry are combined to calculateinternal forces and stresses. The emphasis on grouping concepts as internal and external to theobject was replaced with an emphasis on how the concepts are combined in

With this in mind, we used Mathematica extensively in the classroomto show how it can be used to remove the tedious algebra from the kinds of problemsthey were encountering in their homework. In addition, we used it to show the motionassociated with many of the solutions obtained in class in the form of animations. Weencouraged students to use Mathematica in their homework and required them to use iton the team-based projects that they did in class. As is to be expected when learning anew computer language, the students had some initial difficulties with the Mathematicasyntax.

This was a multi-case study, with each FC institution forming aseparate case, and for those programs that had designed both freshmen and sophomore curricula(RHIT and TAMU), separate cases were constructed for each curriculum. We completed a totalof eight case studies in this research project. For each case, members of our team went to thatinstitution and conducted individual interviews with faculty, staff, and administrators in thatprogram.

A key focus of this section of the course is empathy, as we believe that empathy is afoundational component of emotional intelligence. Students complete an empathetic listeningactivity and reflect on their strengths and weaknesses in this area. Students also organize andimplement a Service Project as part of the second experiential “lab.” Working in teams, theyselect and plan a Service Project, often with the help of the UIUC Office of Volunteer

Although the final project includes a writing aspect, the grade students receive isessentially for completion (i.e., students who meet the requirements receive full credit).

Indeed, no abstraction, tool, or symbol actually captures in its form the practices in the context of which it contributes to an experience of meaning.”Given the noted lack of attention to variability in engineering research [10] and education [11],we expected the student participant-researchers in this study to struggle to identify the presenceand relevance of variability in their engineering coursework.
