For example, the time of day, daylight and the weather conditions, and theASEE Annual Conference, 2015amount of light transmitted through the windows are all variable that can only be controlled to somedegree during the project. Options to minimize the false readings of the light reflected is to take the foot-candle reading for the lights off and blinds up, and subtract it from the reading from the lights on and theblinds up. With this, the light reflected by the windows can be somewhat removed and not considered asa contributing factor in the lighting.Another variance in the project is the amount of lamps that were burn out during the data collectionprocess.

Related excerpts from student feedback: 1. “Most of the band diagram concepts would have been difficult to grasp in a traditional lecture. It seemed like the video lectures helped, but actually drawing them out in class under different conditions (positive voltage applied to one side, currents in different locations, etc) really helped solidify the concepts.” 2. “Anytime the videos introduced a new equation to use… using it in class and breaking down each component helped clarify the most.” Excerpt from instructor’s own reflection

DLD,as the course is locally known, has long enjoyed a reputation as a fun class, and it’s been apopular choice for non-majors as an elective. In recent years, rapidly increasing class size and amove to a larger lecture hall resulted in an increased barrier between the instructor and thestudents; students became more passive and absenteeism increased. Hence there was a need toincrease student engagement, to help overcome the barriers created by increasing class sizes, andto restore the sense of fun.DLD has been a topic of considerable interest at ASEE for many years and recent ASEEpublications reflect several trends.

Inaddition, these students can only take one or two courses each semester. However, for those whopersevere, they are usually more motivated and often possess a genuine interest to learn theengineering concepts. Furthermore, the online learning environment is conducive to a morereflective mode of learning in which students take time to reflect and relate course materials totheir own professional and life experience [12,13].

These two constructs can be readily applied to the enterprise of engineeringeducation to better situate the engineer in the world and to discuss his place relative to his role insociety, his job, his colleagues, and related institutions. While there are many tools to evaluateengineering thinking and even emergent ones to evaluate divergent and creative thought, tools toevaluate the lack of thinking or thoughtlessness are not pervasive. Heidegger’s philosophyprovides reflections to better understand false thinking, grounded thought, and potentially aconstruct for delimiting thought or thoughtlessness – three constructs from which our moderntechnological
