When the course was first developed, it included only topics directly related tomaterials and processes. However, over the last 20 years the content has been expanded toinclude more topics relevant to contemporary manufacturing competitiveness, such as qualityand design for manufacturing. The official course description reflects this mix of content. ENGR 324. Materials and Processes in Manufacturing (4) S. This course introduces

ofindividualized attention. Students value convenience, not incentive, in an extra help resource.Resources should be provided frequently, close to freshmen residence halls, and at varied times.Students also desire tutors who have a high understanding of the material and have an ability toexplain the material. Programs should strive to select tutors who can strike a balance betweendepth of knowledge and delivery of material. Paying attention to these attributes will increasethe likelihood that students will participate in supplemental instruction.References[1] S. A.

creation of a symbolic/mathematical (S)model for further analysis. Learning to solve problems in this particular way is a major goal forengineering education. The research presented in this paper focuses specifically on the text todiagram translation and the particularized representations utilized within a course onconservation principles. Previous research on student-generated diagrams revealed that, at thebeginning of the course, students are not able to construct useful diagrams that follow theconservation laws. This result led to the general question of whether students can recognizeuseful, correct diagrams; more specifically: 1) Given a set of diagrams, are students able todistinguish between effective and ineffective diagrams? and 2) How do

By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an

the present with FIRST and robotics, they can also become useful inmy future career paths. For instance, in college, students will most likely be expected to worktogether in group projects, providing an opportunity for them to exercise their communicationskills. Even outside of school, employees may be expected to work in teams to completeprojects. Teamwork is an extremely important quality that is often made commonplace in many,if not all, collaborative environments as it can result in effective collaboration betweensubordinates due to the presence and flow of diverse ideas and perspectives. Since I, similar tomany others, was able to develop these skills through the FIRST program(s), I am now able toexercise these skills in practically
