In addition to development of decision rules, we created a protocol for infusion ofEngineering into Science activities. This can be found in Appendix A.

In summary, it was desired that they experienceapplication of the concepts in order to (a) better understand them and (b) be able to betterconceive the potential application of the concepts to their own classroom. Loosely based uponImmersion Experience3, 13, each day involved some class discussion on some aspect ofengineering or the engineering design process. At the end of each discussion, the teachersworked in teams to solve some problem that related to the day's discussion. During the first day,participants were assigned to teams and provided engineering notebooks. Teams are importantbecause an engineer rarely works alone. Thus, participants were given an overview of teamingapproaches and instruction on how to conduct

In a pilot study, we evaluated 92 writing samples on the topic of wasteelectronics from a range of undergraduate engineering students in an introductory circuits class ata large public research institution. We asked students to read a journal article on wasteelectronics and recycling and then write an essay on what they viewed to be (a) the mostimportant negative impacts of waste electronics on ecosystems and public health, and (b) theengineer’s responsibility in limiting improper disposal of consumer electronics. We thenevaluated these writing samples for several types of literacy

0.002% uncertainty. To somestudents, this appears to be a reasonable if not a preferred representation of the final answer. Inan engineering thermodynamics course, this concept is more difficult for students since propertyvalues reported in tables often are specified at 6 significant digits, which can be interpreted as1/500000 or 0.0002% uncertainty. Having property values in thermodynamic tables expressed to6 significant digits, contributes to the students’ perception that more digits are better.Students are expected to learn to estimate uncertainties in laboratory measurements and be ableto propagate these to final reported measurement values. This is expected in ABET1 outcome (b)describing the “ability to design and conduct experiments

The pupils willlikely not remember your words, but they will remember the interesting things you show them. b) Don’t Spam the PupilsThere is nothing more time consuming than written and verbal correspondence.

Factors affecting level of risk include: (a) likelihood of thedangerous event occurring, (b) severity of the potential impact on a person, (c) number of peoplewho might be impacted, and (d) extent to which the impacts are controllable.Two types of risk analysis are discussed in detail. The first examines risks of failure (a system orprocess or device failing to perform as intended)—important in design for reliability.

That is used to determine how much water should be made available to fight fires inthose structures.

Thestudents receiving graduate credit for the course had a homework assignment specific to the topicof capacity fade mechanisms. The average grade for this assignment was a B+, which is why it isbelieved that it was the graduate students’ responses that were on the higher end of theconfidence ratings in the ability to meet this objective. The objective with the lowest confidencerating was in the ability to describe testing methods and typical responses of common materials.As this topic was covered near
