shear and moment diagrams. Students were provided with the basic platform for thegame but created their own shear and moment diagrams along with the logic for the solution.The games of individual students were compiled in a multilevel game that proved beneficial tostudent learning. The feedback based on student input in the games allows the students to learnand apply new concepts simultaneously. The impact of the games and the student involvementin the game design process have been positive as evidenced by performance on exams andpositive feedback on surveys. Students are motivated to get involved in the game design processby the fact that their work is being evaluated by their peers and that it has some useful purposethat will continue to

It focuses on how to use the software, rather than classroom dynamics, by explainingmethods for applying Excel to engineering economics that can be used in other disciplines. Itfirst discusses intrinsic functions, and then it develops custom functions that use notation familiarto a student, such as PF(i , n) for (P|F, i , n). Next it covers how to produce diagrams and graphicsvia the drawing toolbar and custom cut-and-paste libraries, as well as how to show all formulasand logic rather than just numeric

Faculty are often so busy putting outshort-term professional fires that they lack time or energy for long term activities, strategicplanning, advanced goal setting or reflection. Sometimes along the way faculty start to feelburned out and need a change to help them regain their enthusiasm for their chosen career.A sabbatical provides an excellent opportunity for a faculty member to re-evaluate theirprofessional and personal goals around their career.

Education (PRIDE) established over its first three years a highly productive mode for sharing resources and expertise. Instituted to provide assistance to workers affected by a military base conversion, this collaboration has had a wider impact on technology education, particularly in the development of a new cross-institutional curriculum that advances engineering and technical education by aligning it with real-life manufacturing activities and workplace skills. A clear indicator of PRIDE's success has been to strong desire of the partners, area economic development agencies, and city work force agencies for the consortium to continue.

The case has been made for an increased emphasis on creativity in technologyand engineering education yet, a perceived inability to assess creativity in students’ workcoupled with a lack of research in this area has prevented the inculcation of instructionalstrategies promoting creativity in STEM classrooms. In order to identify instructionalstrategies that help promote creativity in design, it is important to examine therelationship between students’ creative self-efficacy and their creative outcomes asmeasured by the Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT).

Traditionally,online courses were heavily weighted towards lecture and paper assessments; this was justifieddue to lab hardware cost, lab availability, and inability to objectively measure student labperformance. While cost remains a factor in any course with a lab component, implementing newtechnologies such as virtualization and cloud computing has mitigated and in some casescompletely removed ancillary lab issues. Different virtual lab approaches, centralized ordecentralized, have been tested or implemented in many educational institutions1,2,3,4.

Forinstance, having students explore ways to extract energy from natural resources exposes themto a variety of topics such as thermodynamics, power generation, energy transmission andstorage. Through such topics as thermal pollution and weather monitoring, students areexposed to heat transfer, partial differential equations, sensor design, and signal processing. Invirtually all environmental topics, students can experience the synthesis of concepts andmethods of many different disciplines, which is truly the essence and purpose of engineering.For the past three years, the Systems

Since structural vibrations may produceclosely spaced harmonics, an understanding of the presented method is critical for a prioridetermination of frequency resolution.Introduction Much can be learned about the characteristics of a vibrating structure by experimentaldetermination of dynamic strains or kinematics.
