performance arediscussed.I. IntroductionThe mechanics of materials course is one of the core courses for students in civil, mechanical,aerospace, metallurgical, ceramic, geotechnical, and architectural engineering programs. Thecourse is also included in architecture, engineering mechanics, engineering physics, engineeringmanagement, and engineering technology curricula. The course is typically taken during thesophomore or junior years after students complete their general mathematics and sciencepreparation. The mechanics of materials course introduces students to the principles involved indesigning typical components found in machines and structures such as drive shafts; floor beams,pressure tanks, and bolted connections. The course explores various

ratings as is seen in the secondsemester results. In this case, a better understanding of the skills and behaviors and therating process was precipitated by a special class session on the importance of accuratepeer and self-assessment that was presented during the second course. By the thirdcourse, the student ratings are now founded on a more realistic base. Therefore studentsare able to assess their skill levels more accurately. Now if real learning occurs, the selfand peer ratings should reflect the increase level of competency. In our experiment, this isthe case across all three skills.References1. Durfee, W.K.

response to a national concern in the early 1990s about poor retention of students inengineering combined with a real, or some would say critical, need for more engineers, The OhioState University (OSU) worked with nine other schools to form the Gateway EngineeringEducation Coalition. This need for engineers was and currently is driven by society's ever-increasing consumption of technology. The Coalition, led by Drexel University, was establishedas a result of the creation of an Engineering Education Coalitions program by the NationalScience Foundation. These schools agreed to adopt or adapt Drexel's E4 program1-2 forfreshmen and sophomores which put engineering "up-front" and specifically included hands-onlabs and incorporated design projects

The coupling of numerical simulation and experimentation for demonstration andcomparison purposes is widely used. New technologies also allow experiments to be controlledover the Internet in a remote or distance education format. However, the most recent laboratoryincarnation, virtual experimentation, is the use of numerical techniques to simulate the entireexperimentation process (equipment and data).Virtual experimentation generates reactions of great enthusiasm and trepidation amongengineering educators. Many educators see wide ranging applications of these techniques withadvantages in terms of learning pedagogies, equipment costs

The primary goal of thiscourse is to familiarize Sophomore and Junior level students with the tools and techniquesnecessary to manage a project. The course also seeks to expose students to the real lifecomplexities of managing a large-scale project. Students will use their projectmanagement skills in managing projects in other courses, notably the Senior Designcapstone course. Project management concepts can be taught to students in a traditionallecture format, but unless the students have previously been involved in a project as aleader or member of a team, they tend to

in meaningful learning [1].With the adoption of recent science standards (i.e., NGSS); teachers are faced with the task ofintegrating engineering design into their science instructions and making connections betweenScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in their instructions.This is partly daunting for elementary teachers, given their minimal preparation in engineering[3]. While STEM education is recognized by educators and research communities asimportant, there is no common understanding or agreement on the nature of STEM education asan integrated endeavor. Consequently, K-12 teachers have limited guidelines and teachingmodels to follow regarding how to teach integrated STEM [4].Without clear
