American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Inverted Approach to Teach InversionAbstractInversion is one of the most important weather phenomena that determines air quality and istypically covered in courses concerning air pollution. Anecdotal evidence indicates that followingtextbook readings and lectures, students generally express misconceptions about this topic. Addingactive learning to the classroom has been advocated amongst the best practices for highereducation, with physical in-class demonstrations being especially effective for engineeringeducation. The study explores the impact of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered oncreating an artificial inversion layer (with dry ice, smoke bombs, and bubble

formalexamination.A second problem is the rigid predetermination of laboratory work in a teacher-determinedcourse. In this mode, the teacher writes the laboratory procedure, usually a list of experimentswith their expected outcomes--current engineering technology textbooks are full of suchexamples. When I began teach, I was expected to produce these laboratory procedures but foundit frustrating. To begin with, if every student must follow the same procedure, a dampening ofexperimental creativity may occur. In many cases it was the prospect of this creative tinkeringthat drew the students (and their teachers) to the profession in the first place. Moreover, if allstudents are expected to perform at the same level and reach the same outcome, many organizeto

By contrast, undergraduate students at ISU have almost noaccess to teaching laboratories where they can acquire hands-on experience in the behavior andanalysis of polymers, despite the ubiquitous and pervasive nature of these materials.

Thecombined graphics and CAD course has the advantage of balancing theory and practice. It canbe a lecture and laboratory course in which students not only learn drafting theory andtechniques, but also practice CAD skills. One of the new approaches is to include CAD in afreshman design course which teaches fundamentals of engineering design, engineeringgraphics, and oral and written communication skills 1.In the past decades, developments in computer hardware and software have caused aninformation revolution and made significant changes in our

It has been a difficult topic to teach since it involves anumber of concepts that many students in manufacturing technology programs are not familiar, especiallywhen laboratory support was not completely ready. In the spring and the summer of 1995, with help of a student majoring in electrical engineeringtechnology, the author used the basic vision system to develop a number of experiments for robot vision.
