followingobservations may downplay the importance of advanced mathematics in third and fourth yearcourses. Additionally, because the sample has focused on only one institution so far, our resultsmay not be reflective of faculty perceptions at other institutions. Specifically, many of ourengineering department faculty are applied mathematicians and scientists who switched toengineering rather than engineers by training. Additionally, our institution is a top five, highlyselective engineering program which may skew the expectations of our faculty on students’abilities.4. ResultsFaculty described a range of desired mathematical skills and attitudes when describingmathematically mature students. A mathematically mature engineering student has fast

This node will send the distance of the obstacle from the sensor across the CAN bus to areceiving node, which will print the distance (in cm) on the serial monitor. Ultrasonic sensorsconsist of a transducer which is used to transmit the sound pulse and also to receive the echo thatis reflected. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the presence or absence of a target componentby using reflected and transmitted ultrasonic waves.Fig. 3: Simple configuration setup with the two nodes and the sensor.Experiment #5: Multi-node CAN network and message filteringObjectives: Students setup a CAN network with more than two CAN nodes.

In peer evaluation 1,only three of the 21 senior design teams made comments indicative of conflict (communicationproblems, uneven workload, etc.). In peer evaluation 2, however, that increased to one third (7 of21) of the teams having one or more comment suggesting a team dynamic or cohesion issue.This increase in reports of negative team-cohesion may be reflective of end-of-term stress andfrustration of working under pressure potentially captured by the timing of peer evaluation 2.Only one team, Team B, reported team dynamic issues in

These exercises are a powerful and effective way to help engineering andarchitecture educators teach spatial visualization.Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphicsclasses present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multipleviews, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Exercises present the objects inincomplete multi-view projections, and ask the students to add missing lines. They use mostlyreal 3D objects that are easily recognizable to help the student correlate 2D with 3D.This new method uses a different approach. Each view of the solid

The model defineslearning style as ‘the characteristic strengths and preferences in the ways individuals take inand process information’ and asserts that individuals have preferences along four bipolardimensions: Active-Reflective, Sensing-Intuitive, Visual-Verbal, and Sequential-Global.Hawk and Shah have described the styles as follow 8. Active learners prefer doing things,particularly in groups. Reflective learners work better alone with time to think about the taskbefore doing it.

the online enrollment. A clearly underserved constituency is active military and veterans whoconstitute about a third of the online enrollment (and less than one tenth of the face-to-faceenrollment). Another difference is that only about 15% of the online enrollment consists ofstudents from Arizona, whereas about 75% of our face-to-face students are eligible for “in-state”tuition. This relative lack of online “in-state” students is by design. We believe that thetraditional on-campus face-to-face experience is especially valuable for recent high-schoolgraduates from our state and the tuition is structured to reflect this; online students are noteligible for “in-state” tuition.Figure 0: Enrollment in the BSE Electrical Engineering

As the semester progressed, studentsappeared to gradually believe this to be the reality. This was reflected in the feedback inQuestion 3 of the survey where not a single student felt that they are overburdened withworkload in the class.
