-based microcontroller course based on the Parallax Basic Stamp, asingle-board computer that runs the Parallax PBASIC language interpreter in its microcontroller.There were five main reasons to choose a Parallax microprocessor: a) students in electronicsprogram did not have, or were not required to take any programming background before takingthis course; b) Parallax offered a variety of sensor units and related modules to conduct a varietyof experiments and make projects as part of course purpose; c) the Parallax system is compatiblewith most of the commercial sensors and modules; d) freeware software and resources like booksare available; and e) the cost of the system and parts. PBASIC was easier to learn whencompared other programming

Page 23.467.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013Abstract This paper describes a one‐semester study in which students in a course on material balances were required to write abstracts for homework problems.

The school didnot make Annual Yearly Progress for 2010-2011 or 2011-2012.Assessment Instruments: Two online surveys were administered to this 2008 - 2009 cohort: oneat the end of the group’s freshman year (2009) and the second at the end of their senior year(2012). We present highlights from both self-report questionnaires. Survey #1 (late May 2009): An exit survey contained 22 items, answered on a four-part Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree). All 35 mentees from this first year completed the online survey in May, 2009. Questions loaded on the three central goals of the treatment. Table B provides sample
disasters, and globalization.The Educational Guiding Principles of EAFIT University’s Institutional Educational Project [2]has recognized that human-centered education requires a curricular perspective that offers moreflexible programs that allow students, according to their preferences and skills, to choose betweenvocational training, human sciences, or culture and art. In tandem, from the pedagogical point ofview, it makes learning --as opposed to teaching-- the core of its educational processes switchingthe focus of attention from instructors to students. These guiding principles are supported bythree main objectives stated in EAFIT’s Development Plan 2012 - 2018 [3]: (a) preservation ofacademic excellence, (b) research supported teaching, and

At the end of the course, students were expected to have become proficient in theirresearch topic of choice, to have conducted systematic work in the lab to design their apparatusor experimental setup, to have collected and analyzed experimental data, and to have reachedpertinent conclusions.Fig. 1 Students in the initial phase of literature review (a) and poster presentation (b) – capstonerun two.In the regular classes students are taught known things and theories but this class intended to bequite the opposite and succeeded.

This service-learning component was used to successfully illustratestudent mastery of the following outcomes: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, Page 23.248.9 manufacturability, and sustainability (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (h

Each record was de-identified and given a random identification number based on thestudent’s current course (e.g., MAU04 or QC12). Since the experiments were embedded withina normal course format, student subjects are unlikely to have perceived an extraordinary stress,which in any case should be less than that of a conventional course requirement (e.g., classassignments), particularly since performance on these exercises was not used in a calculation ofthe course grade. The experimental stimulus selected was the Web Visitors exercise (SeeAppendices A and B). It was chosen because of its relative simplicity, open-endedness, andcompatibility with the

receive sometoken curricular reward for their efforts, the time and energy spent on such projects dwarf whatstudents would normally spend in formal classes, and many teams don’t receive any formalcurriculum acknowledgement. Such projects are largely a work of love realized by passionateand driven students, primarily on a voluntary basis. Robert Stebbins’ concept of serious leisure is an appropriate frame to examine suchactivity in a range of informal and voluntary settings. According to Stebbins, people engaged ina serious leisure effort show the following characteristics: a) perseverance to accomplish the task at hand; b) the ability to progress along a career-like path; c) the investment of significant investment
feedback, change of goalsSource: “A Taste of Systemics,” by B. Banathy, 1997, International Society for the Systems Sciences.The major hurdle met is the paradigm of education advocating the distinction of disciplines fromthe early years and eventual departmental structures of higher education.41 The formation ofsustainability science accounts for the need of adopting the broader scope of understandingtheoretical dispositions because of the systemic issues that are prominent in the field.42 The mixof knowledge needed to provide effective guidance requires a suite of research methods.43 It isour goal in this course development project to create an experience for undergraduate studentsthat introduces them to the practice of research and informs them
to the publisher and gets four new copies for the coming month. On the average,how many copies of Fantastic Fireflies will Sam sell per month? a) Four copies b) Between three and four copies c) Three copies d) Fewer than three copiesTypically, very few, if any, students initially select the right answer (d). Students are guided tothe correct answer through an interactive discussion. Two arguments I often follow up with are:Argument 1: A characteristic of the Poisson distribution is that the demand in any month can beany non-negative integer value, so in some months the demand will be greater than four copies.However, Sam can sell no more than four, so in those months, the number Sam sells will be lessthan the demand and that

Thefirst phase being complete, the current step focusses on what the students perceive are the neededskills, their perception of their capabilities and how they learn and use these professionals skillsets. This work looks at first-year students as they enter college, they will add 4 to 5 years ofschooling and accumulate some of the wisdoms that come with that age. The shaping of skillsstarts during the first year of school, with continued change and development during theirupperclass years.2

This study is focusedon engineering faculty members who integrate LTS efforts in engineering across a broad rangeof institutions of higher education. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted with engineeringLTS practitioners to explore their interests, challenges, and results of their efforts. Analysis ofthe interview transcripts reveals 1) faculty members who are passionate about LTS tend to play aleading role in promoting LTS within their institution; 2) faculty’s primary interest in integratingLTS is predominantly motivated by a desire to improve the quality of their teaching and

The videolecture discussed the method and some of the considerations for designing a PD controller.Unlike the freshman video lecture, this video was viewed by the students prior to coming toclass. In class, students asked questions about the theory discussed in the video. In theremaining class time, the instructor discussed a design problem with direct student-teacherinteraction.The teaching process implemented with the senior students more closely follows the scenario forusing video technology proposed in this paper.
