In addition to a largecommon lecture section, the students have labs and writing/speaking activities in smaller groupsof about 30 students. The “Exploring Engineering” course includes technical lectures,presentations from departmental representatives , and many hands-on activities.The objective of this paper is to summarize the results of surveys conducted over each of the pastfour years of the engineering majors. The s urveys were intended to gauge student opinions as towhy they selected their declared major. Surveys were administered in April of each year, in the

However, the low overall utilization of the resource may be masking thepotentially significant difference between the two treatments seen in the high-access group.This investigation into homework solution format, as well as best-practices with regards toencouraging student use of the resource, will continue. Specifically, investigations are planned tostudy if providing students with a worked-out-homework solution (from a similar but notassigned problem) before the assignment is due is a more effective intervention than providingsolutions after the due date.Bibliographic Information[1] Steif, P.

development for faculty in their respective area(s) of expertise is imperative for theviability of any academic program and the success of the institution of higher education [1].Professors are expected to understand the subject(s) that they teach and understand how to applythe material to real-world scenarios. While research suggests that most faculty members “areinherently self-driven learners” [1], some academic disciplines, such a pharmacy education, useaccreditation councils that specifically advocate an effective continuing professionaldevelopment program [1]. This paper posits that one of the most effective ways for engineeringand technology faculty to obtain continuing professional development is through active andcontinual engagement with

Describing this innovativeapproach to design, Skerlos et.al.12 states that sustainable design “brings focus” to the design Page 23.408.2process, while McLennan13 says that sustainable design “expand[s] the definition of good designto include a wider set of issues”.

We use S/U/- (satisfactory/unsatisfactory/Not Available) notation toidentify whether a student met one or more of these criteria in a given course. An S roughlymaps to grades of C or better, but is not always a given. Thus, each faculty member shouldmanually record these letter grades for each of his/her course students in a given semester.

tool.5 ConclusionsIn this paper, the use of impromptu design exercises in an introductory mechanical engineeringcourse was presented. These exercises were used to introduce three design ideas: 1) the designprocess, 2) brainstorming and decision making, and 3) optimization. The developed exerciseswere presented along with details pertaining to implementation and preliminary evaluationresults. Evaluation results showed that the impromptu design exercises had an impact (at least inthe student’s perception) on their engineering design education.AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the Villanova Institute for Teaching and Learning (VITAL)for supporting this project.References[1] C.
