stage model is static with specifiednumber of stages while the activity model can incorporate several design methods. In thiscontext, design methods are tools and techniques used at different stages of the designprocess. The prime objective of this course is to equip students with the knowledge, skills andcompetence in the development and use of design models and methods so that they canhandle design process management in their professional careers. In the provision of thelearning experience students are (a) given lectures and hand-outs on the theory andmethodology in which they have to pass a written examination (so called Instructivism) and(b) apply their knowledge and skills in a project where they exhibit their competence gained

Simulations allowfinding the deformation and stress levels at every point in the material, whereas the experimentalresults indicate the bulk behavior of the material only. Students can explore various loadingconditions and visualize their effects on the specimen, and develop deeper understanding of thetheory. Such exposure to simulations in a specific project environment in an early fundamentalcourse is shown to better prepare students for
Paper ID #31145Understanding a Makerspace as a Community of PracticeChieloka Mbaezue, Stanford University Chieloka Mbaezue is a senior in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University conducting research to understand how learning happens in makerspaces. Through research, he desires to understand the mechanisms of learning in community in order to democratize the experience of self-efficacy experienced in makerspaces. He hopes to apply his gained understanding to the product development industry in African countries and in the United States, particularly in black communities.Eric Reynolds Brubaker, Stanford University

As is good practice with any teaching tool, it wasobvious that there was a need to update the manuals to accurately reflect the equipment and toolsbeing used in the experiments.Survey resultsTwo surveys were designed, one to get feedback from current and past students as well as asecond for current and past TAs to understand the main points and determine the priorities of theredesign. The questionnaire used to survey the TAs is attached as Appendix A and thequestionnaire used to survey the students is attached as Appendix B.

This paper suggests that there isnot a single silver bullet, but rather a number of scaffolding techniques that together can bothreduce student frustration and dramatically improve outcomes in first and second year students.Bibliography[1] J.

For thehomework, students have one week to complete the assignment to obtain full credit. Thebi-weekly quizzes are administered in a proctored computer-based testing facility, where studentsare free to reserve their 50-minute slot at any time over a period of 4 days. For each assessment,the instructor has access to the following information: (a) the day the student first opens thehomework, or schedules the quiz, (b) the time duration to complete the assessment, and (c) thescore.
