Thus, the objectives of the proposed images are to demonstrate to thestudents the followings: • The assumptions (Saint-Venant’s theory) made in developing the axial stress formula • The development of axial stress in a member • The effect of bearing stress on a member • Interaction between axial, bearing, and contact stresses • An application of optics in engineeringBasic theoryThe optical method of reflected photoelasticity (photostress) is utilized to achieve the goals inregard to the above objectives. Photostress is a technique for measuring surface strains todetermine the stresses on a part or structure during loading. With

three main moral theories studentsstudied were utilitarianism, ethical egoism, and rights ethics.Students also reflected on ethics as part of an electronic portfolio assignment. This electronicportfolio is owned by the student while he/she is enrolled at this university. BSE intends to useelectronic portfolios to encourage students to reflect on and maintain a record of theireducational experiences. Lastly, students worked in teams to perform research and present ethicsrelated material within the context of recent concerns and events related to natural disasters suchas hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes; this presentation assignment is presented in acompanion paper. 3 This basic ethics instruction creates a foundation for ethics instruction

We decided that this person should notbe the faculty advisor, since some sources of tension arise with the role or style of that person;and that it not be an undergraduate student. Some faculty advisors chose to remain for thediscussion; others decided not to attend. The discussion leader (usually one of the evaluationspecialists for the program) distributed the reports to each of the team members, emphasizingthat the results reflected simply how they, collectively, evaluated their team experience at thatpoint.

Cuny was a disaster relief specialist who did humanitarianengineering work in Chechnya, Ethiopia, Bosnia, Somalia, etc.During the in-class discussion, a number of students had selected the Cuny case and stated thatthey hadn’t previously considered the application of civil engineering to refugee camps fromnatural and conflict disasters. In their reflective essays on Civil Engineering that are due in theirJournals at the end of the semester, some students commented on the Cuny case study.

Also, scoringwith a combination of a standards-based rubric and a content or observations analysisseems the best way to assess the design preparedness of the students. In addition, morequestions could be included to reveal the group dynamics. A reflective interview with allthe students may also be an appropriate tool to consider for capturing the attitudinal andconceptual learning, and particularly the perceived change or growth that has occurred inthe students over two semesters of learning. Some of these ideas are already beingimplemented in the 2005-06 academic year.Acknowledgement1) The authors wish to thank the Boeing Company for its financial support of the projectand its evaluation, upon which this

assess identity (Stets &Burke, 2000). Identity role theory. Identity role theory (Stets & Burke, 2000; Stryker & Burke, 2000)is rooted in a sociological framework that defines group identity by the observable characteristicscommon across those occupying a group-specific role. Identifying with a role consists ofincorporating the meanings and beliefs associated with that role into one’s self-concept. Thetheory posits that individual behaviors reflect those role-specified meanings and beliefs. In thisvein, identity role theory is concerned with predicting role-related behaviors. While the sameperson can occupy different roles (i.e. be a member of different groups), those roles that mostinfluence behaviors are considered to have a

], which identifiesinterconnectedness of student understanding as the key difference between rote learning andmeaningful learning. Rote learning allows students to reflect back what they have been told andeven follow procedures when there are no deviations, but meaningful learning builds on that toadd conceptual understanding in a way that allows students to innovate and problem-solve increative ways. Because of the importance of innovation and problem-solving in engineeringeducation, it is particularly important to make sure engineering educators promote meaningfullearning, not just rote learning.Linking the discussion back to concept mapping, Pearsall and her colleagues [10] conducted astudy looking at student-generated concept maps over the

The difference is statistically insignificant, and would not alterthe overall final course grade of any of the students. The instructor believes that similar resultswould have been obtained had the comparison been between the grading of the instructor and aTA. While it is premature to generalize this result, due to the limited number of samples, onemay reflect on the findings to deduce some lessons learned.

In fact, Henderson and Dancy [7] arguethat the improvement in engineering education lies not in finding more effective instructionalstrategies but in using the proven strategies.This paper describes our attempt to introduce a few RBIS in a rural Indian engineering college.We introduced simple strategies such as using audio-visuals, think-pair-share, formative feedback,problem-based learning in lab sessions, and project-based learning in design courses in a one-dayworkshop. Eighty faculty members, in two batches, attended the workshop, which itself used manyof the above RBIS. The participating faculty members reflected on the strategies in

A low overall injury rate doesnot necessarily correlate to the degree of lab safety since some injuries will be unrelated to labwork. Actual injury rate is likely higher than the data shows because it only includes reportedinjuries above a certain threshold. The BLS tracks causes of days away of work by industry, butit groups education with health services, which is the industry with the highest injury rate.Therefore, no analysis was done on whether the types of injuries at universities could reflect labaccidents.Generally, city governments are responsible for building and fire safety.
