Session 2553 Freshman Projects the Hard Way (a la Goldberg) William Park Clemson UniversityABSTRACTDesign and construction of devices in the style of Rube Goldberg is being used as the primarymotivational structure for teaching engineering design and teamwork to freshmen. The earlytrials began with each team of nominally four students designing a device to perform a simplefunction (e.g. crushing an aluminum can). This has evolved to projects involving two fourmember teams working together to implement a pair of devices which must interact toaccomplish the

not for engineers. Engineers should stick to just the technical piece. … I think it's a risk honestly, because as much as we talk about changing our tenure and promotion criteria and including things like innovation, community engaged research, or things that may not be as traditional… it's very difficult to change minds. And even when someone says, ‘Yeah, you know, we should include those things,’ the tenure and promotion [process] is very subjective, no matter what. And I do believe things have improved but I don't think they've improved to the point where I would advise an early career faculty member whose portfolio is primarily community engaged research. I would be nervous for that faculty member. To be honest, I’d

learningsupport center at our university. Together, these programs support around 120 courses across theuniversity. Most of these are freshman-level courses in areas of mathematics, accounting,chemistry, physics, and engineering. This makes our services one of the main academic supportresources for first-year students. With this population in mind, our vision for course support is toequip and encourage students to take ownership of their learning.To accomplish this goal, we provide students with a variety of services from drop-in tutoring, tocollaborative Peer-Assisted Learning sessions as well as MATHLab. We hire over 150undergraduate students to serve as peer leaders for our programs. These students have previouslytaken and been successful in the

the topicsmay not fit the specific student group. Therefore, it is recommended to utilize additional booksand materials from other sources, like the Internet, for any course. Figure 3 shows the surveystatistics where majority of the students voted against using a single book in the class. Alsotechnology courses must be accompanied with lab or hands-on exercises and practices. Most ofthe engineering courses are associated with lab components; however, if a course does notinclude lab, the teacher should take the initiative to include some lab exercises. As shown in Fig.3, students get interested in a topic when it is demonstrated along with some practical examplesand exercises. Lecture should strictly follow the
