they made no use of the peer-mentors or they had little to no effect (‘NoDetermination’). Technique 2’s requirement that students make use of their assigned peer-mentorclearly, and unsurprisingly, forces them to establish some clear ‘consultant’ or ‘mentor’relationship. More importantly, the provided instructions for those interactions do admittedlyfocus on the project itself and steer those interactions towards a more transactional interaction,which explains the majority ‘consultant’ roles identified. Clearly without having interacted, theydo not even have a chance to promulgate a relationship at all, particularly one that goes beyondthe project and towards developing as a student and budding engineer.

Comments like it “take[s] me away from my comfort zone, which is lecturing” and “I needto be convinced that this is a sustainable effort” are examples of this. These issues were resolvedthrough courteous behaviors from Dr. Bora as evident by comments like this: I feel like without this cohort of colleagues who are making changes … and that person giving me

inconsistent use of symbols between relatedcourses. For example, some authors use sn, ss, and e for normal stress, shear stress, and strain,instead of the standard Greek symbols σ, τ, and ε. This use of Latin characters with multiplesubscripts confuses students because the Greek symbols are used in textbooks for other courses,and because capital S is used for section modulus later in this course. Students have troubledistinguishing between s and S on the chalkboard during lectures (and in their notes).My students also complain about the high cost of textbooks. In the last 30 years, textbook costs Page 23.673.3have risen about twice as fast as inflation
Energy Audit Labenhances existing energy audits, traditionally conducted within NDE, and expands this lab toapply to both the NDE and DfE courses, where the built environment is closely examined.Learning objectives and associated Bloom’s levels of intellectual behavior9 for the IRT EnergyAudit Lab are listed in Table 1. Teams of students conducted an energy audit of an existingstructure by utilizing an IRT camera in addition to a regular digital camera. In the energy auditlab assignment, shown in Figure 3, students utilized temperature information generated by theIRT camera and calculated the potential building’s energy losses for the area(s) depicted in thecamera images. Students took this quantitative approach one step further and calculated

persistence rates, CMICH is on the low end: 27% versus the range of 30% to 91% citedabove. With respect to technology programs, CMICH is most similar to Purdue (64%) and PSU(30%). However, with respect to size, ASU (74%) or PSU Surveying (76%) seems moreappropriate. In this sense, the lessons presented here fill a gap in the persistence literatureespecially in terms of young engineering programs.3.

American universities, Academic freedom and tenure are two sides of thesame coin. The current view of tenure was established in 1940 when the American Associationof University Professors (AAUP) and American Association of Colleges (AAC) officiallysanctioned it for purpose of preserving faculty` s right to academic freedom. Legally, it assuresfaculty the right to pursue any line of inquiry in the course of their teaching or researchwithout being censored, penalized or fired by university administrators. In 1973, theCommission on Academic Tenure in Higher Education (jointly sponsored by the AAUP andAAC) recommended that ‘adequate cause in faculty dismissal proceedings should be restrictedto (a) demonstrated incompetence and dishonesty in teaching
to biomedical engineering education. This process includes – • Identifying a major learning objective(s) for the course (ie, what should student be able to do at the end of the course • Define specific learning objectives necessary to achieve the major objective(s) • Identify challenges that target these learning objectives • Use STAR Legacy to organize learning activities (including assessment events) to systematically explore the problem space of a challenge. • Define a sequence of pre-class, in-class and post-class learning activities. This process will result in creating a modular unit that can be shared with others.If portions of the module do not suit the needs
Session 3268 Design Projects for Mechanics Courses Nicholas J. Salamon and Renata S. Engel The Pennsylvania State UniversityAbstractIn teaching undergraduate mechanics, it is important to regularly relate the theory to applicationsin a meaningful manner. We believe mechanical design is the most important and convenientapplication to employ for the following reasons: (1) it closely follows the mechanics theory, (2) itrequires an understanding of the theory, (3) it introduces markets and mechanical technology tostudents, (4) it connects students with information

Coast Guard’s program. 4 FiveUALR students and one Hendrix student participated in this course. Although the coursemet with limited success, it illustrated many of the pit-falls associated with connecting anintroductory course with FIRST.We assumed that the pre-college students on successful FIRST teams were performingsome useful role in the design process. Therefore, Freshmen engineering students shouldbe able to participate. In reality, most corporate teams assign a large engineering staff toperform the design and allow their pre-college students to “shadow” the engineers. Theyounger
