Students in the Fall ’02 classappear to have better retention in the CHE major. Dr. High taught all three sections. Retentionof students in the majors of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology were at thesame level as well. OSU retention was roughly the same for all three semesters as well.Figure 2 shows some interesting information. CHE retention for the creativity class was higherthan one of the traditional CHE classes of Fall ’02, and not the other. CEAT retention washigher for the traditional CHE classes and OSU retention was higher for the creativity class. Ofcourse it

The coursework and projects were intended toemphasize (1) the fundamental engineering physics and chemistry that are important at thesesmall scales; (2) fabrication technologies; (3) design for manufacturing; and (4) testing andanalysis of complete systems. Our group was interested in microscale energy conversion, andover the course of the semester refined our project to look specifically at vibrational energyconversion. In this paper we will review the microsystems and communication coursework thatwas required of all IGERT students, discuss the associated design project, and provide studentbased recommendations that may be used to refine future programs.Coursework:Graduate students accepted into the IGERT program were required to complete
, with a focus onthe teacher and what is taught, in contrast to the student and what is learned. Historically,this approach operates in an open-loop system where teachers pour forth the same contentregardless of student needs. The emergence of student-centered classrooms and outcomesassessment in the last decade has profoundly changed the paradigm for teaching andlearning across higher education1.Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) adopted by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET), which instituted requirements for outcomes definition andassessment, created serious confusion among engineering educators2,3. This resulted fromthe limited faculty training in educational concepts such as learning objectives, outcomes,and

peer reviews. Student feedback also showed that the rigorouswork load in the engineering curriculum posed time constraints that would affect the likelihoodof them using peer reviews if they were not required to do so.IntroductionTechnical communication is a critical skill for undergraduate Civil Engineering students toachieve1, 2. It is estimated that a typical engineer spends one third to half a work-day writingproposals, reports, memos and other documents3, 4. Recognizing the importance of technicalcommunication, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 2009-10criterion 3 requires that all engineering graduates demonstrate an ability to communicateeffectively at the time of graduation (criterion g of a-k outcomes
