developing faculty in the context of newteaching and learning paradigms, for the evaluation of the scholarship of teaching and for theresearch-teaching nexus.IntroductionDuring the 1990s there was a sustained global debate about reform in engineering education. TheEC 2000 developed by ABET typify the shift towards a broader set of measurable outcomes thatemerged from this process. Similar reforms have taken place in other countries. For instance inAustralia, the report of the national Review of Engineering Education entitled Changing theCulture1 lead to a change in the accreditation of Australian engineering programs based more onoutcomes with a particular emphasis on the demonstration of broader graduate attributes. Thischange has challenged

Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Pull, Twist, and Break: Helping Engineering Students Visualize Material FailuresAbstractThe materials tested in basic engineering mechanics courses, such as steel and aluminum, havebeen well studied and have consistent material properties. Experimentally testing these materialsin a laboratory setting helps students visualize the difference between the failure behavior ofductile and brittle materials. However, there are thousands of other materials which arecommonly used in industry and academia which exhibit different behaviors or are moreinconsistent between samples. These materials may behave differently when subjected todifferent loading conditions such as tension

critical role in the education strategydeveloped in the CDIO project (Berggren et al.2; CDIO Initiative Homepage3), an internationalinitiative that aims to develop a new model for engineering education, characterized by using theprocess of conceiving-designing-implementing-operating, i.e. the product lifecycle, as theeducational context. A prominent attribute of the CDIO initiative has been the design andimplementation of a new class of student workspaces (design studios, classrooms, study areas,laboratories) that enable student teams to design, build and test in project-based courses. This isin contrast to traditional student labs that are heavily oriented towards demonstrations(Gunnarsson et al.4; Wallin & Östlund5). The proper set-up

ProgramAbstractDuring the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic crisis, classrooms across the globe have abruptlypivoted to virtual learning strategies. This change has posed many challenges with both thepedagogical methodology for instructors and the learning environment for students. Moreover,this transition has prompted the emergence of new virtual instructional techniques. Due to theextenuating circumstance of the pandemic, the author’s institution introduced a wide range ofvirtual teaching modes while holding a limited number of face-to-face classes. Among thesecourses, Introduction to Graphics is considered to be a critical course that requires in-personlearning strategies, as it includes manual drafting with hands-on exercises.

The conflict of accommodatingmore students within the constraints of the limited resources is making scheduling increasinglymore difficult. This work was inspired by standard scheduling duties such as finding overlappingcourse times, faculty load calculation, keeping track of adjuncts, dealing with schedules toaccommodate students out of sequence, and integration with math and physics courses.Tools were created to perform data manipulation and analysis for standard scheduling tasks.These included calculations often foreign to other non-STEM departments such as differingcredit for teaching laboratories.

A laboratory setup is developed to test performance of the hydraulicsystem components. Experimental analysis of component behavior of a functional prototype of thehydraulic system is performed. The analysis result is used to select components for optimumperformance of the system in its desired operational conditions. The methodology can be utilizedin design of similar systems where energy efficiency is a primary design objective.1.
