body using proven bestpractices in reputation-building, recruitment, and admissions, and the expertise of a variety ofSchool stakeholders, including those from the Graduate Office, Communications, Marketing,Admissions, and Recruitment. A strategic, coordinated, and comprehensive marketing andadmissions program was developed, with an overall strategy focused on three primary pillars: A)educating prospective students about the School’s world-class research and commitment todiversity and engagement, B) a holistic admission review process, and C) reducing student costsas a burden for both the student and the faculty (Figure 1). This multi-pronged approach yieldedsignificant increases in the size and diversity of the PhD student body, without

In an attempt to guarantee a collaborative learning environment, the instructor used lab assignments (experiments and projects) which required working in dyads and groups of four, ensuring that Page 24.615.5 students engaged in some form of student-centered, active learning within the flipped classroom.Evidence of the use of this approach was

A second draft may be required if the level of writing skill isinsufficient for a fourth year level course.Case Study “B”The second assignment was given in a senior level class in Construction Cost Analysis andAdvanced Estimating. This class is more quantitative and spends much more time on problemsolving but improved writing is part of the course. This is a research paper writing assignmentgiven to seniors in the spring semester of their final year just before they graduate.

had a lot of group work. So [there were] all these guys and then us in our little three group. . . and the teacher just hated us. He just hated us. Personally, I feel like it was because we were, you know, all the girls that group together, we didn't branch off, we were our own group. Literally doing assignments, an [all-guy] group would do the exact same thing as us. Exact same thing, he would tell them the exact same thing, they got an A versus we got a B. So you could definitely tell that there was the bias. And we all saw it. And we all knew it in the way that he talked to us treated us. . . . I mean, you know, at the end of the day, we're all here to be engineering students. He made that
engineering analysis on the best solution to compare the meritsof the various designs. Each student first determines the member forces in two preliminary trussconfigurations using the Method of Joints and/or the Method of Sections. The students thendetermine the cross-section size required for each truss member, using a table of balsa woodmember capacities provided by the instructor (see Appendix B for an abbreviated version of thistable). By determining the volume of wood required for each truss, the students can compare the Page 22.36.2weight of each truss design. The two partners then meet and decide which of the designs tobuild, by considering the

hinderthe development of teacher-student rapport. Additionally, many instructors in engineering disciplines find that their students can oftenmove through a problem satisfactorily, but are unable to articulate the conceptual understandingof material that is just as important as solving problems. The review quizzes described in thispaper are designed to treat this problem by emphasizing concepts through the quizzesthemselves, and then helping students reinforce their understanding of concepts throughconsistent quizzing. The two hypotheses that will be addressed are a) does frequent quizzingincrease student conceptual understanding of the material, and b) does frequent quizzing hurtclass morale and student motivation?

projects thatwere 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 learned in theclassroom (e.g. symmetry and symmetry BCs), b) the execution of a project should not be verytime 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 work, or when theysolve problems, before invoking such assumptions.4) The student groups should be required to meet with the instructor at least once and sufficientlyenough before the project deadline.
