, no statistically significantdifferences are found. 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

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. Ourengineering curriculum typically offers 12 courses at junior and senior levels every semester, andhas typical enrollments of 18 per course.

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.

. After the system properties are set correctly, thesimulation is run and the links are set into motion. The system can then be analyzed using thecharting functions available in Working Model. The top graph shows the angle of rotation of linkAB with respect to time and the bottom graph displays the velocity of point C with respect totime. When link AB is exactly vertical (360° in this simulation) the velocity of point B is 5 ft/s inthe negative i-direction. The students can then look on the velocity chart to determine thevelocity of point C at the instant in time that AB is exactly vertical. This laboratory gave thestudents an interesting example of how to solve a real world problem using simple motionsoftware. The students had to develop a
