2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings Specifications Grading in Undergraduate Fluid Mechanics Julie Mendez Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus mendezju@iupuc.eduIntroductionAlternative grading practices are being used increasingly in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) courses in place of traditional points-based grading systems [1]–[17].One such method is specifications grading, in which student work is scored pass/fail according towhether the assignment submission met the provided requirements. The final course grade isdetermined by students completing pre
something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators

Teaching technological courses today requires updates every time a course istaught due to the vast amount of research and developments in these disciplines. Additions ofProceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Midwest Section Conferenceneural networks modules can be looked at in a similar manner and added to currentundergraduate courses.This paper presents a simple software tool developed in JAVA to teach the basic concepts ofneural networks and its training with backpropagation. This software is used in introducingneural networks concepts in an experimental course offered at the 300 level to bothundergraduate

We do this through a program of faculty-mentoredmultidisciplinary research, professional development, and exposure to real-world issues thatreflect the impact of nanotechnology on society, the business community, human health, and theenvironment. This approach also supports self-efficacy, multidisciplinary team-building,understanding the broader impacts of technology, and building the skills necessary for researchand lifelong learning.Overall, the key goals are:1. To provide an exciting and productive research experience for each fellow.2. To create a small cohort of students, who share common goals, that supports the developmentof

itseffects on the system is very important and such quantification is done throughthe use of the concepts and methods of probability and statistics. Also, under theconditions of uncertainty, the design and planning of engineering systems involverisks, which in turn involve probability and associated consequences. Theimportance of the quantification of uncertainty on such calculated risks isdocumented by the National Research Council2, US Department of Energy3,NASA4, and NIH5.In the age of computers, and high technology, and Uncertainty RiskQuantification initiatives by major US national agencies, it seems appropriate touse of random values of materials properties, and known random external appliedloads in mechanical analyses.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Wichita State University 1845 Fairmount, Wichita, KS 67260-0133AbstractThe use of recyclable materials has been continuously rising worldwide due to the economic andtechnological developments. Without recycling these materials, they will get degraded orcorroded, and then completely destroyed by the nature, which will be a waste of resources andhuge environmental damage. In order to increase the academic and public attentions to recycling,we have developed a three credit hours recycling course “Recycling of Engineering Materials

Such awareness of thecommercial aspects of engineering projects were further demonstrated in other students’ PBLlearning activities,“You needed to put forward something new, something that hasn’t
