tradition creates several steps of reassurance for thestudent that the material has been learned before grade points are given or deducted forthe results of this learning demonstrated on the exam.Surprisingly, this tradition is often defied in laboratory teaching. For example, it is not unusual tofind a laboratory assignment, in which the beginning students who were just shown anoscilloscope are required to make measurements using this new instrument, with a possibility oflosing the points for getting wrong results. The learning suffers when students are unsurewhether they are doing the right thing and whether their data make sense. Lack of reassuranceleads to unnecessary stress, shifts focus from learning to fear of losing points, and

Wedescribe how engineering teaching assistants can promote motivation within the context of theirtypical teaching duties: facilitating discussion sections, holding office hours, providing feedback(grading), assisting students in laboratory settings, and creating problem sets and solutions. In this section, we particularly try to connect each tip to the theory or theories that justifyit. The Appendix provides a quick reference guide to connect the teaching tips with the varioustheories. We encourage TAs to not just enact tips without understanding why those tips areimportant, but rather understand how each action or attitude can help

proposes curriculum modifications that are tailored to non-electricalengineering students. Specifically, six instructional hands-on laboratory experiments and anupdated course outline are proposed. The goal was to make students more comfortable withcontrol theory by using hands on examples and tailoring lectures to non-electrical students. Inorder to measure the success of the curriculum changes, all students were given a written surveywhen they completed the course, a sampling of students were chosen at random for personalinterviews, and standard course evaluations were examined. The student responses indicated thechanges were successful.1. Introduction The origin of the difficulties associated with teaching controls to non

AbstractTypically, FEA courses are offered at a graduate level, covering the theoretical basis with littleor no effort to apply this technology to real problems. In some institutions, this course is offeredto seniors, but the content is also mostly theoretical. At Wentworth, we have designed an FEAcourse based on our industrial experience which could be labeled “Applied Finite ElementAnalysis”.
