Learned and ConclusionsThere were quite a few lessons learned by the instructor from this PBL experiment:1) The hardest part about the experiment was, in the first place, picking a good PBL problem thatwas relevant to the class material at hand. Some of the criteria that the author used in selecting aproblem were: a) the design has to emphasize, or at least force the use of, concepts and equationslearned in the classroom, b) the possible solution designs should be relatively simple to make orbuild, not costly in dollar amount, and not very time consuming.2) The second thing learned was that the implementation of PBL takes a significant portion ofthe instructor’s time.3) The instructor needs to alert students to verify assumptions made in their

Some typical student writing projects are: (a) submit the day's lecture notes, (b) write apersonal statement of values, (c) write a personal statement of convictions regarding theenvironment, or (d) write a summary of a recent course-related article that appears in a magazinesuch as Scientific American or National Geographic. Students are assigned readings in textbooks by Barbour(1993), Volti (2005), and Brown(2001). They are encouraged, optionally, to develop a reading journal that contains theirpersonal notes and outlines of all the textbook readings. It follows their twice-weekly readingassignments, reporting
is for a team of two students to design and build abalsa wood truss bridge which will span 36 inches and hold a 24 pound load at midspan. Thespan length, amount of the load, and location of the load vary each semester. The only materialused is balsa wood and glue. The lightest bridge to hold the 24 pound load is the winner. Thecomplete project rules can be found in Appendix A.Each student is required to first determine the member forces in their chosen truss configurationusing the Method of Joints and/or the Method of Sections. The students then determine thecross-section size required for each truss member, using a table of balsa wood member capacitiesprovided by the instructor (see Appendix B for an abbreviated version of this table

practice, if observed, is likely desirable, since thedifficulty arises from students’ activation of retrieval processes. Because students are forced torecall previously-learned information without any contextual cues, their memory is strengthened.Current WorkAs part of NSF Award #1912253, we implemented spaced retrieval practice in Calculus I forengineering students at the University of Louisville’s J.

. ConclusionLearning science and engineering concepts should not be a passive process - to understand, astudent must do. Learning should be a hands-on experience. American Chemical SocietyPriestley Medalist Harry B. Gray stated this quite vigorously “I ... would ... do away withintroductory ... lectures completely, and build a first-year course entirely around experiments.’’We believe that these workshops are good examples of the types of active learning exercises thatcan be adapted by others to fit their teaching goals. We would be happy help others implementsimilar programs. Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington
