Theprogram is also ideally suited to teaching concepts of structural redundancy and anti-terrordesign, since it is possible to see the response of a structure when members are removedinteractively: e.g. removing a member from a loaded truss by clicking on the member. The paperdescribes the program and the teaching methods that have employed it, including lecturedemonstrations, a homework problem, and a laboratory exercise.OverviewThere is a well established and sensible tradition in engineering education that a curriculumbegins with basic subjects and then incrementally increases the range of phenomena consideredand the sophistication of their analysis.

Typically the professor lectures for one hour,has a break, then lectures with illustrative problems or laboratory exercises, and then gives thestudents an assignment. The students work as a team in their office on the problems and theinstructor goes to the student’s office to check on their progress and clear up any difficulties.Students may visit the professor after class if they still have difficulties, but it important to notethat the professor goes to the student’s office to provide help.

Indeed, CADsoftware apprenticeship alone is generally not being recognized as “units” by engineeringaccreditation boards in North America, unless it is coupled as laboratory to more traditionalformal courses on CAD theory and principles. Also, the definition of units and the manyobjectives of CAD courses make it such that a limited number our hours can effectively bedevoted to CAD software apprenticeship.

The purpose of this qualitative studywas to better understand engineering students’ learning experiences in informal learning sites,particularly their sense of autonomy, which emerged as a major theme in initial data analysis.Specifically, this study investigates a hands-on design and manufacturing laboratory forengineering students in a large research and state

Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].

graduation. As such, the freshman year is filled with calculus and physics courses that arehighly theoretical and provide no logical connection to the engineering that lies ahead.5 Theremainder of freshman courses tend to be general education or other courses even further removedfrom engineering because students do not yet have the prerequisites to take standard engineeringcourses. As a result, students do not get to interact with engineering faculty, or experience hands-on laboratories or understand engineering as a profession. The result is often a higher than desiredattrition rate.Because so many engineering courses have adopted a freshman experience, the published literatureis abundant, especially through ASEE conference papers and the Journal
