Using LEGO components and ahands-on, team-based, iterative design process, teachers and students learn how to build robotsthat must operate underwater in a three dimensional space. In building their robot to performthese tasks (proceed in straight line path across a pool, negotiate a slalom course, ascend/descendin a water column, and grab/deposit a wiffle ball into an underwater goal), they not only practicethe engineering design process, but also learn the underlying science concepts that impact theperformance of their

This course, entitled “Biological Frameworks for Engineers”instructs biology concepts from an engineering perspective and emphasizes the functionalaspects of biological systems. It is divided into a series of three to four week modules, eachestablishing a real-world problem as a context for active, problem-based learning. Acombination of instructional methods are used for each module such as lectures, in-class student-centered exercises, discussions, and labs. A matrix of assessment methods are integrated into thecurriculum to triangulate on student learning outcomes and to provide feedback to theinstructional team as part of an iterative course development cycle

They should exit asummer REU program with a clear understanding of what researchers do, how research impactssociety, what their options are in pursuing research and higher education, and a toolbox of skillsthat better prepare them to succeed in related careers. A summer REU program should thus be aresearch “training camp” to prepare students to make informed choices about a career in teachingand research, and to prepare students for success in those fields, if that is their career choice. Assuch, the summer REU experience must feature three key parts: • Leadership of meaningful and valued research • Formal learning about graduate studies, the craft of research, and leadership • A positive and

Moreover, many active learningcomponents have been incorporated into the class. These include interactive laboratories, peerinstruction, and use of electronic clickers. These changes have been made in phases over severalyears and each change was assessed using the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) assessment test,given on the first and last days of class. Results from the Force Concept Inventory test show thatthe overall gain in performance has tripled as a result of the combined effects of these changes.Additionally, course grades show that the overall pass rate for the course has increased by

Some of the skills that these graduates lack are effectivecommunication and teamwork, both skills being of high value and importance in a job setting forengineers that have to work closely and collaboratively with fellow co-workers [1]. Whiletechnical expertise and knowledge have profound impacts on the skills employers look for whenhiring graduates, recently employers have started emphasizing the importance of skills such asintegrity, communication, and flexibility.
