That TA was funded with the grant she received from themakerspace. With the benefits of incorporating makerspace projects into courses in mind,institutions that aim to improve student outcomes through makerspace use should supplyfinancial support. There is a large quantity of funding and backing aimed at makerspaces as theygain popularity in engineering institutions across the country, but this is usually designated forequipment and

In the last several years thesecapabilities have become more accessible to non-programmers and thus more widely availablefor local adaptation by libraries. The article by Antelman provides a good overview of thetechnologies available for creating dynamic pages.1 While the article was written several years Page 8.455.1ago, the options discussed for database-to-web have not changed significantly in that time.

and what attributes high-quality narrative smoothingdemonstrate [5], [7], [17]. However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative

from laboratories. Anumber of arguments have been put forth in favor of this separation, probably the most understandable beingthat of scheduling flexibility. Unfortunately, this separation leads to a psychological distance in the minds ofboth the faculty and the students. Even when a lecture and a laboratory are co-requisites, they are distinct.Since scheduling flexibility is an important consideration, different faculty members will usually beresponsible for them. They are graded separately, and there is little incentive or opportunity to try tointegrate the material closely. Thus much of the benefit of presenting the same material in different ways,exercising different learning styles, is lost.We believed that this trend needed to be

Session 2425 Using Student Evaluations for Individual Grading in Team Projects Craig W. Somerton Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State UniversityI. IntroductionOne of the challenges involved in using teams in the engineering educational process is theassessment of individual performance in the team activity. Typically, there are two extremeapproaches to this challenge. One approach is to ignore individual contributions and assign thesame grade to all members of the team. This approach can lead to poor student morale, andeven more important good
new faculty member and how this type of planning could ease the load inattaining tenure and promotion. Part I - An ExampleIntroductionTransition from one walk of life to another is never easy. Whether one enters academia fromindustry, graduate school or from some other venue, significant differences exist which mayhinder the progress of the new educator. In the present case, coming from industry, but withteaching experience as an adjunct, I thought I had an understanding of the teaching requirements.What to do about tenure was the farthest thing from my mind. Fortunately, I had the help of myco-author as mentor and the other staff at our site. They all helped me keep in the right directionto start with
the high training costs. Thus,the supply of pilots from a peacetime military would be even smaller for commercial aviation. Inaddition, there were predictions that the aviation industry would continue to grow in both thefreight and passenger markets well into the next century.
