A secondary goal is to explore a variety ofdifferent development platforms, to determine which are most practical and effective for thistype of first-person educational simulation. The following sections will describe the currentstatus of the overall project, and describe the most recently developed modules.Project OverviewIt is well known that people remember things that they experience first-hand much longer andmore vividly than things that they merely read or hear[4, 5]. Specifically in the area oflaboratory safety, anyone who has ever experienced a laboratory accident will remember thatexperience

The final exam constituted35 percent of the student’s grade.Study MethodsThe broad dataset of student results on the pre- and post-test instruments, coupled withinstitutional variations in curriculum and pedagogical techniques, allow for an opportunity toassess student’s prior knowledge and learning gains at these four institutions. The followingdescribes the guiding research question for this study:What do students gain in conceptual understanding about specific foundation engineering topicsthroughout the semester at various institutions?Assessment MeasureA ten-question background knowledge probe (pre-test) and

Scientific and technical literacy will empower students tobecome responsible citizens in the rapidly changing world in which we live, and will preparestudents for effective participation in the decisions and actions that take place in their homes,their communities, and their world.[7] Likewise, literacy within the environmental sciences willprepare students for interpreting and acting on issues related to energy and the environment.Project based learning has been suggested to present the best case for teaching and learningscience process skills and content.[8, 9] The technique has roots in the “learning by doing”approach to education promoted by John Dewey.[10] The curriculum is generally centered aroundthe assignment

engineering practices?Results of a survey of high school teachers on their perceptions of student motivation andlearning as well as the impact of the competition on student career plans are also presented.1. IntroductionTeachers want their students to succeed in what they are taught and seek testing instruments toassess their learning. Sometimes regular testing instruments are not adequate. For such reasonsteachers have students participate in academic competitions. Competitions expose and enhancestudent’s practical understanding of the subject matter by providing a platform to practice.Competitions help students become successful, build teamwork, and assist in improving studentskills.

To these ends, the UT ASEE Student Chapter has hosted a paneldiscussion with professors from local small colleges with engineering programs such as Trinity and BaylorUniversities. Furthermore, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Dean Cherwitz has addressed the group onhis “Preparing Future Faculty” Program, which pairs graduate students with local faculty, and allows thestudent to shadow for a semester, taking part in all faculty duties from teaching to committee work.The Application Process This is always a difficult period, but being informed about the process can easetensions
ofworkshops and nature of having a graduate student as an instructor allows students to interactwith peers and the workshop leader more effortlessly. On the contrary, the larger lectures andhaving a faculty member as an instructor produces a more intimidating environment. The studyshows that there are practices that can be implemented to further contribute to students’ feelingsof autonomy, competence, relatedness, and subsequently course engagement. For example,students found it easier to relate to professors that provided background information aboutthemselves at the beginning of the semester.IntroductionIn response to calls to implement engineering and design activities across the undergraduatecurriculum, first-year engineering courses are changing
collaborative learningprocess in general.The LCI has been used in the engineering program at Rowan University to enhance theperformance of student teams19. In Sophomore Clinic I, a multidisciplinary sophomore designand composition course that is taught collaboratively by faculty from engineering andcomposition and rhetoric, faculty used the results of the LCI to form teams with balancedcomponents of each learning pattern, based on research suggesting that successful learning inteam environments occurs if team members have complementary learning patterns.Our hypothesis was that this particular combination of avoidances and preferences leads tobarriers that specifically impact performance of student teams in the upper-level design courses,such as the

Their implementation does not require the user towear anything.Haptic FunctionalityHaptic systems consist of two parts – the human and the machine.

The paper willpresent the results of this and several other projects designed and developed under the NSF CCLIgrant and discuss the students’ changing attitudes to electromagnetics.Introduction “Electromagnetics is hard.” This is probably one of the most common first thoughts thatcome to mind whenever electromagnetics (EM) is invoked. The real meaning of this phrase isoften even more discouraging: EM is widely believed to be overly theoretical, unintuitive and alittle irrelevant in today’s engineering world. And this is, typically, an opinion of a person who issomewhat familiar with EM, e.g. a graduate engineering student who took electromagneticsduring their junior or
. Video serves as a bridge between the humanities andengineering when it brings technology into the humanities classroom and when it brings thehumanities into the technology classroom.ABET accreditation requires that all engineering graduates have effective communication skills,have an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams, and have an understanding of the world,the economy, the environment and society. It is a challenge to fit the broad education requiredfor gaining this kind of understanding into an intensive engineering education. Digital videotechnology addresses this challenge.IntroductionVideo production has a long history in the humanities because it was developed for storytellingout of a theater tradition.

instruction could have anegative impact on students’ careers.1 While many computer programming classrooms now havecomputers, it is common to see an instructor conducting the lecture using old techniques and thestudents only using the computers during designated lab times. The computers and cell phones inthe classroom become distractions and pull the student’s attention away from the lecture. It ishard for the instructor to compete with social media, online games, and other readily availableon-demand content provided by computers and cell phones. This generation is accustomed toinstant gratification8 and traditional lecture-based class dynamics do not hold student attentionfor long.

activity showing students the water cycle and illustrated the amount of available freshwater for human use. This was done in the hope of increasing their appreciation for the scarcityof usable water. The results of this activity showed up many times in the students' daily journalsin which they wrote that they learned more about the importance of water conservation.Following the water cycle activity was a fish tagging activity. This included how the fish taggingworks, the importance of it, and how scientists and engineers use the process to determine thehealth of streams and movement of fish in the stream. Thanks to the aid of a graduate student inFisheries Biology, students had the opportunity to engage in the practice of tagging fish.During the
