According to studies funded during the movement, students feltmore positive about calculus and perceived they were better prepared12,13,14,15. However, littledata has been generated to support assertions that reform efforts have had a significant impact ondownstream engineering courses16. Manseur, et al.17 reported that little progress has been madein mathematics education in engineering. They admitted that teaching needs to be different, butthey were not sure how to accomplish this. “Furthermore, engineering faculty members stillreport there are disconnects between the knowledge that students gain in mathematics coursesand their

A frame-by-frame study of the pictures of bouncing tennis balls obtainedusing high-speed cameras (2000 frames per second) in our laboratory demonstrated that thisprocess consists of four separate and distinct phases: initial contact, deformation of the originalshape, restitution and recovery of the shape of the ball, and separation and takeoff [6].

A version of challenge-based learning has been used in an introductorycourse of dynamics to teach kinetics and kinematics to sophomores in a civil engineeringdepartment at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. As an introduction to specific instructionalsequences, students were posed a challenge to frame the remaining lectures for that topic. Oncethe challenge was introduced and before any formal instruction, students were asked to generateideas about the immediate problems they needed to solve and to generate ideas about potentialsolutions. In addition, they were asked to generate questions

Initial contact between the ball and the surface occurs at one point.Phase 2: Deformation. Although the lowest point on the ball has been forced to stop movingduring initial contact, other parts of the ball continue to move downward. Consequently, a periodof continued contact is observed during which the ball is in contact with the surface over an areathat

This model is popular among community colleges or vocationalschools, but may not be best for engineering students since the latter only need to understand themanufacturing processes rather than acquiring hands-on manufacturing skills.We propose a new manufacturing teaching practice at our university by introducing group cellsand simulated production lines. A group of students is responsible to produce products for thewhole group. After learning and practicing basic machine tool operations in a cell (lathe, mill,sawing machine, and specific manual operations), each subgroup of two students operate amachine tool and produce identical components for
