For example, thisauthor recently did a series of presentations on Fluid Power. Because it was going to involve agreat deal of circuitry, a great deal of time was spent looking around for a template ofcomponents (clip art) for fluid power. Little was found and that was very expensive. As analternative then, the project began by creating a PowerPoint slide show of components-only andstudents were used to create the components individually on the slides of that file, using thePowerPoint graphics package.

Homework assignments and design project handouts can also be more effectivelyplaced on a website. For instance, on several occasions cadets failed to copy down routinehomework assignments in the Fluid Mechanics course even though the assignments were clearlyand predictably posted on a side chalkboard in the classroom. The Computer Aided Designcourse assigned all homework and projects via the website and students never questionedwhether or not an assignment was due; they just logged on, clicked the assignments link andknew exactly what was due.

coursework has been delivered through lectures and grades havebeen assigned as a way of assessing achievement of coursework. There is abundant literaturesupporting what has been described as outcomes-based or competency-based education since the1970’s,8–19 including research projects involving engineering courses.20–26Indeed, there has been a shift in education in recent decades from an emphasis on teaching to anemphasis on learning. The most common teaching model is based on the idea that “teaching istelling” and usually uses an expository or transmission method where lecture is used to presentmaterial described by course objectives. While there is some variation on lecture methods, what isimportant here is that the required course material is

This understanding is critical to ensuring that students from allbackgrounds are appropriately supported in pursuing their degrees and faculty are equipped todiscuss these topics with their students. In this pilot project, researchers from RowanUniversity’s College of Engineering and College of Education who were interested in exploringDEIJ implementation in the classroom in a cross-collaborative manner explored the followingresearch questions: (1) What level of relevance do faculty members place on DEIJ as part oftheir degree program curriculum? and (2) How do faculty members’ conceptions of DEIJcompare across disciplines?There is scant literature on faculty members' conceptions of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, andJustice

I especially enjoyed meeting and collaborating with other professionals during the workshops.”In addition to the open-ended question, teachers on both follow-up surveys were asked to rankthe impact the workshop had on them. The majority of teachers reported that the workshop had a“great” or “slight” impact on how they integrated topics in their classrooms (see Figure 2). Forthe teachers who responded that the workshop did not make an impact, they stated that theyalready integrated

He foundthat the course drop rate declined from 38% to 7% and pass rate also increased, compared toprevious offerings of the course that did not include the active-learning experiments. He reportsthat, “more than two-thirds of the class indicated that the in-class circuits significantly helpedthem to understand the circuit operation and analysis techniques that were being discussed on agiven day.” While there were other papers found in the engineering education literature thatdescribed some good examples for semester-long building projects,5,6 as well

In the interest of providing data that can be used by different constituencies, as well as asnapshot of the curriculum at a particular point to which changes can be compared, the data fromthat project are presented here in full. The results from the 2004 sample concerned coursesbeyond freshman math, physics and chemistry, which tend to be common across engineeringmajors, to focus on the courses required specifically for the biomedical engineering degree.Mechanics, physiology and design were the subjects required most frequently, at 90% or more ofthe accredited programs

The majority of these students‟ performance on the two tests and three to five number of quizzes has improved slightly, but not significantly. However, their performance on the final project was significantly higher due to the fact that the instructor gave them time to correct the mistakes (to redo wrong work), and also due to the group effort

The MOOC platform contains videos of all the course lectures, online homework, andquizzes. Over 400 students take this course on campus each term.
