answers are rather vague in the student’s ears. Typical answers might be thatmathematics constitutes the basis for all scientific disciplines, that calculations underlie most studywork, that a good understanding of mathematics enables you to think clearly and logically and makeabstractions based on the present situation. Even less constructive responses might be thatmathematics reflects the beauty of nature, or that everything in nature can be explained inmathematical terms. These things may be true, but such answers are not helpful in relation to the Page 26.1402.2students’ ongoing struggle with arithmetic.One way of attacking the relevance

It also seemsthat teams who incorporate pedagogical research produce more sophisticated apparatus from adesign perspective. Finally, reflections of the students involved in the development of theseexperiments are examined in order to gain insight into how students perceive and usepedagogical information in their designs.IntroductionIt has been established by a number of authors that laboratory experiments and experimentalapparatus can be effectively designed by undergraduate students.

In addition, the Tech 120 artifact is the result of teamwork, so it is unclear if thebibliography is the work of a particular student, or a reflection of the skills for the whole team.Meanwhile, the PPI assignment is for the individual, so individual learning gains are beingmeasured more directly, one of the stated benefits of badges in education.For PPI the incomplete rate (30.3%) is indicative of a failure to complete the course and receiptof an

Creation of a direct assessment, such as a concept quiz orassessment of class assignments, will allow for another means to assess improvement inscientific literacy without the chance for self-reporting bias seen by others.5 It is still importantfor the students to reflect on their own learning through the SLIGS.

We may choose to teach a subject because it isexplicitly required by the ABET accreditation criteria, because our alumni and the employerswho hire our graduates tell us they want our graduates to have specific skills, and/or because wefeel the topic is part of the historical body of knowledge to which every civil engineeringgraduate should be exposed. This paper proposes that a new topic and skillset should be addedto our civil engineering curricula—Prevention through Design—despite the fact that none of thethree typical curricular motivations apply.Prevention through Design (PtD, also called Design for
