STEM9–11.Introductory engineering courses taught with forms of active learning such as project-basedlearning and problem-based learning have led to increased retention of engineering majors12–15,improved student performance13,15, higher quality of peer interactions13, and more positivestudent attitudes about engineering13,16. In addition to the strong case for adopting active learningin introductory engineering classrooms17, there is growing concern about how to effectivelydisseminate innovations in engineering education18. Recommendation for adoption anddissemination include attending to the specific needs of varied university cultures and curricula,supporting educators in becoming reflective teachers, and providing long-term support

Students follow a set of steps to develop properquestions and find their own solutions by applying critical thinking skills. Finally, project basedlearning creates interactive and collaborative learning opportunities that promote the logicalprogression in creative thinking that leads to critical thinking. This paper presents theobservations made through these learning methods and provides a platform for discussion onthese topic areas.

Musical Analogies as a Teaching Tool for Engineering ConceptsAbstract This project investigated the inclusion of a music laboratory experience within theexisting core Mechanical Engineering curriculum at Lafayette College. Music is a naturaladdition to engineering curricula as it can easily be used to illustrate many different engineeringconcepts. This allows students to think about their engineering topics from a differentperspective, which helps to improve their understanding of these concepts. Additionally, byusing music as a teaching tool, students are also exposed to topics from the art of music.Students completed a survey both before and after the experience in order to reflect on theirlearning. On average, the students reported a

To uncover a wide variety ofresources, a web-based survey was sent to three listservs for college educators andeducational researchers: the POD Mailing List, the ACM SIGCSE Members List, and theEngineering Technology1 listserv in October 2014. These listservs have a total of about3000 subscribers, but only 32 responses were received. This probably reflects the factthat few educators have yet “flipped” their classes, but since thousands of faculty andhundreds of faculty developers were surveyed, it’s likely that they were able to namemost of the prominent resources and techniques.1 pod@listserv.nd.edu, the listserv of the Professional and

We used the Felder-Silverman modelspecifically because of its historical application in engineering, and its multidimensional natureallowing for two preferences in each of four dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive,visual/verbal, sequential/global) with subsequent strengths (strong, moderate, balanced) for eachpreference. This multi-dimensional model accounts for different facets of learning, andadditionally emphasizes that these preferences are not fixed characteristics but merely, as theyare called, preferences.

When the waves face any discontinuityor crack, some part of the energy is reflected due to the acoustic impedance mismatch [8] at thepoint of cracks. The transducer captures the reflected signal and transforms it into the electricalsignal which is displayed on a screen. By analyzing the signal, one can easily obtain thequantitative information about the size, location and orientation of the crack. A schematic view ofa typical UT system is shown in figure 1.
