Sincemuch engineering practice is cross-disciplinary, this allows students to learn about materialsfrom other than just their own disciplinary perspective. This course is integrated with thestatics/strength and math courses they are taking at the same time. Faculty teaching thesedifferent courses meet regularly to make sure that the integration between them is working well.For example, this integration allows us to discuss mechanical behavior of materials, whilerelying on the statics/strength course for their mechanics background.Connected with this new materials lecture course are two revised lab courses: a civilengineering materials

MCNP5/X can be used to model various nuclear engineering scenarios to include fundamental nuclear and atomic interactions, particle/photon transport, radiation shielding and detection, and nuclear reactor analysis. In the NE field, MCNP5/X is well respected and reliable, and its results offer excellent visualization for modeled scenarios. At West Point, the faculty uses a cognitive apprentice model to implement student use of MCNP5/X over a two-year period of studies. This is a three-phase developmental model that starts gradually with (1) faculty demonstrations and then with (2) student coaching in the laboratory context during the first year of the NE curriculum

The major drawbacks for thestudents are the loss of partial credit and the insecurity associated with working in a virtualenvironment. Faculty find that the time required to construct effective computer-basedassessments is much greater than that for paper-based assessments. Unfortunately, the increasein construction time can be greater than the reduction in grading time. With the currenttechnology, it is extremely difficult to develop large, multi-step problems requiring problemanalysis and solution synthesis skills without leading the student to the answer. This, of course,defeats the purpose of the assessment for this type of problem.IntroductionThe technology for

assignments through a simple programming interface.Engineering classes generally require many homework problems to give students an opportunityto exercise the skills presented in lectures. The textbooks contain problems for this purpose;however, students often have access to solution manuals, which reduces the effectiveness of theassignments. Handwritten homework and the effort required to manually grade it makes itdifficult to assign large problem sets. Additionally, homework done on paper provides noimmediate feedback as to the correctness of the responses, and therefore the students are forced tosubmit work in which they typically have little confidence.Online, automatically graded homework is a potential solution for all of these issues.

knowledge (for an overview, see Hoskinson et al.1). Problem solving,whereby one applies abstract principles in an expert-like fashion in order to achieve a goal, playsa central role in this endeavor.In physics, such abstract principles are commonly embodied through equations and instantiatedthrough word problems. Problems often refer to idealized objects or events (e.g., a block slidingon an inclined lane). Yet, rather than eliciting abstract thinking, such problems reinforce roteassociation with formulas and restrict transfer toward “real-life” situations. Many scholars deemidealized problems responsible for students developing a formulaic approach toward problemsolving (i.e., “plug and chug”), and ultimately leaving introductory courses with poor
