computerprogramming-related problem-solving skills in particular.This study presents best practices and lessons learned from our LC, and we present three novelstrategies to integrate writing in PS courses for majors and non-majors. First, since implementationof LCs is not always feasible, to infuse narrative elements into problem-solving we developed anarrative module to help students develop narrative and writing skills that can be incorporated inall sections of the PS course. Second, we developed a series of student-assessed case studies thatcan be integrated in all sections of the PS course for computer systems majors. Cases studiesprovide a narrative context in which students learn basic constructs of computer programming suchas sequencing, selection and

With this new definition, moreinterdisciplinary activities became possible; a professor with mechanical processing backgroundmight be doing research on design of a batch or continuous reactor for producing hydrogen as afuel as an alternative source of energy12. Such kind of projects will require knowledge aboutchemistry, energy, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, environment, and many other fields.However, it is indeed a teamwork effort on a chemical engineering project. After 1980 many industries started to externalize their R&D activities to reduce the spending.Mowery & Rosenberg6 mentioned that this has been

Longer term benefits for the students include being able tofocus their job search in areas of interest, having 'substance' to talk about during interviews andgetting acclimated as full-time employees more quickly. Companies benefit by having broadername recognition on campuses, gaining early access to the best students, and completing extrawork at a lower cost rate. In addition, students with co-op experience, especially our own, cancome in full-time upon graduation and make a more immediate impact. Co-op is a true 'win-win'.” Tim Sepelak

same exam can be accomplished by usinggrading rubrics, grading the same question for all students at the same time, and giving similarquestions each semester. However, there are still natural tendencies and preferences that affecthow an individual professor grades. The objective of this research was to quantitatively assesshow professor grading biases influenced exam scores in the same upper level course offered atmultiple universities. The course selected for analysis was an introduction to the design of reinforced concretestructures, a common course in many civil engineering curricula. Three professors at threedifferent universities taught similar topics using their unique teaching styles and methods.During the semester, the same exam

This changing environment offers newopportunities for information literacy training and engineering librarian partnerships withresearch groups.This diversity of needs means that the new engineering librarian must take time to carefullystudy the engineering college’s website and to

JenniferChalsma, Staff Editor at Machine Design, after interviewing some practicing engineers fromFortune 500 companies, concludes that “Readers call for more practical, “real world” coursesand less theory.” Suggestions for improving engineering and technological curricula include: theuse of Co-ops and Internships, and increasing the number of laboratory courses and projects.Hiles, K.

design work at the graduate level is minimal. However, it is ourhypothesis that these intensive hands-on types of experience may not be as critical to the types ofnon-traditional students who have significant exposure to engineering in their professionalcareers, such that these students already “know what engineering is”. (By comparison, we feelthat it is unlikely that a fully online program would be optimal for the traditional college-ageundergraduate student who lacks such exposure to engineering; such students would likely needthe benefits, supports, and interactions best provided by the traditional undergraduateexperience.) Obviously this hypothesis warrants detailed assessment and evaluation as the onlineprogram is developed.Specifically

Most universities in the United States (US) now have atleast one course that includes ethics or related topics in their undergraduate engineeringcurricula. However, due to qualitative and abstract nature of the topic, the ethics course does notdraw the same level of attention from students compared to other courses like physics and

Students spoke with a young engineer and could easily imagine being in her position after graduation. In addition to the tour and question and answer session, the Ramboll engineer led the students through some critical thinking case studies.

The AKT II employees shared many of their designs and major projects from idea to completion. The Olympic Park is an example of extraordinary efforts in

not enough that the standards are published. To have an impact, theymust influence what happens in every K-12 classroom in America.”Technology education shares engineering education’s desire to emphasize open-endedproblem solving and the design process. For example, Standard 8 delineates design stepsvery similar to those introduced to engineering students. In order to recognize theattributes of design, students in grades 9-12 should learn that the design process includes: • defining a problem, • brainstorming, researching and generating ideas, • identifying criteria and specifying constraints, • exploring possibilities, • selecting an approach, • developing a design proposal, • making a model or prototype, • testing and
problem-solving methods. This paper describes an ongoing process of course andcurricular review that has resulted in the development of a web-based learning environment (theInteractive Problem Solver) to supplement traditional instructional methods in an undergraduateDynamics course. The Interactive Problem Solver, which is still under development, is beingdesigned 1) to help students learn (and practice) rigorous problem solving skills, 2) to helpstudents develop an ability to understand and evaluate mathematical models and results in thecontext of physical reality, and 3) to provide a forum for instructors to evaluate the impact ofvarious features of a learning environment on student learning of tasks (problem solving skills)and concepts.I

We turned thisrequest and problem into a great opportunity that not only satisfies the original goal, but alsomay be a major contributor toward fulfilling two other, perhaps more important goals. • Include more managerial skills and

learningoutcomes for this introductory transportation course. The goal of this paper is to report on thestatus of this effort and to stimulate conversation related to learning outcomes in the variety ofcivil engineering sub-disciplines.Building on existing literature, the group plans to identify and validate a set of key transportationconcepts. Following best practices in course design, we will also develop a set of outcomesrelated to these concepts around which a course could be developed. Further, we expect toidentify a minimum set of requirements that ought to be met by any introductory transportationcourse, as well as a larger set of outcomes and levels of achievement from which instructorswould select to be consistent with departmental and
levels to explore the concepts of fluids (e.g.,wetting and spreading kinetics, interfacial thermodynamics, droplet impact, fluid/particlemechanics, etc.) It was the goal of the RET participants to identify best practices for teachingclasses such as physics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, etc. to explain fluid flow conceptsthrough molecular dynamics simulation.IntroductionIn the broad realm of fluid flow simulations nowadays, a wealth of information has been gleanedfrom Lattice Boltzmann simulations, phase field and level set descriptions, volume of fluid models,and other boundary tracking schemes of either a sharp or diffuse interface classification.
