High school and university students, based on their3 theory of learning styles, map thedifferences in how they learn. Furthermore, there is a relationship between high academicsuccess and self-regulated learning strategies4 and it is possible that high school students may bemore self-regulated with respect to their learning strategies5. Several studies have beenconducted on learning strategies and motivation using specific populations like high

IntroductionThe inverted pendulum control experiment, in which a pendulum with a center of mass above thepivot point is mounted to a linear actuator and the actuator is moved to attain a balancedcondition (Figure 1), is a common example used in introductory feedback control systemscourses1, particularly in the design of the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controlalgorithm2.

The crane had to lift metal clips (N°. 03) using only magnetic attraction, and any form ofmechanical lift was prohibited .4. The crane should not be higher than 1 m.5. The failure of the crane (the electromagnet does not attract any clips) resulted in a zeroscore for the team.An example of the conceptual developed project analysis is presented in Appendix B.The Problem Based Learning approach scripts were applied all year (4 in 1st semester and 3 in2nd semester).

mistakenbeliefs about writing in civil engineering. These beliefs corresponded to some of the mostineffective characteristics of the student writing and were in direct conflict with the practices ofthe engineering practitioners. The beliefs were common even among graduating seniors who hadtaken technical writing courses and written numerous papers in their engineering courses. Thethree myths are the following: 1. You can make your writing more professional by using long sentences and fancy words. 2. Writing is a matter of “impersonal style,” completely separate from engineering. 3. Rules of English grammar and punctuation don’t matter for civil engineering practice.With these ideas widespread and persistent, we decided to take a direct approach

Statistics data show that there is a big gender gapin the STEM field in workplaces. It has been found that women make up 46% of the workforce,but hold only 24% of jobs in STEM fields1. The challenge lies in how to attract the students intothe engineering field. Many institutions and organizations have realized this challenge and haveprovided various activities to promote female students into the STEM field. For example, theIntel “She Will Connect” program helps young women expand their understanding and use oftechnology; Microsoft “DigiGirlz” gives

The impetus behindthat endeavor was twofold: (a) BCR analysis is the most used technique for economic analysisand decision making in the public sector, and (b) to accommodate to the visual learning stylethat dominates in the engineering student demographics.

Many of these references, however, do little actual flexible assessment. Theliterature does list many viable flexible assessment approaches, which we divide into threecategories based on where the flexibility lies: 1) how are assessments weighted, 2) what are theassessments, and 3) when the assessments occur. Our current approach is a combination of thefirst and third items. We believe our approach to flexible assessment is unique for severalreasons, including the course format (engineering design), the classroom format (studio), and thedelivery method (primarily flipped).We feel our approach has
