discussion of the case study by even the most gifted professor.5.3 Semester ProjectYears of teaching this course and the encouragement of Dr. Genichi Taguchi suggested the need toinclude a semester project as a pivotal part of this course. All students are encouraged to propose anappropriate project early in the course. Students, both on-campus and off-campus, are encouragedto form teams in order to define and execute the project. Off-campus students are encouraged toselect a project closely related to their work assignment. Students or student teams that fail topropose a suitable project in the allotted time are assigned a project. Usually this assigned projectis used throughout the semester as a discussion vehicle to demonstrate the principles

projections and pictorials, not to mention sections, are difficult to comprehend ifone has no true concept of the object to be drawn.One method to aid these students is to construct physical models of objects, thus allowing thevisual learners to see, feel, and touch the models of the objects they are trying to draw. Whilethis is a wonderful aid to learning, it is not feasible to construct models of each and every objectwhich would be used in a freshman level introductory graphics class. This would necessitateabout 50 models being created, just to have one copy of each object depicted in the class. If theplans were to have each student (or maybe each group of 4 students) have a copy of the modelthen the numbers grow rapidly.As an alternative to this

Extrinsic motivation refers to thosemotivations created by the environment the student is part of [4]. Previous work has shown thatpositive incentives appear to have a positive effect on learning outcomes [5], that praise andreward were associated with higher extrinsic motivation [6], or conversely that negativeincentives provided slightly more motivation for students [7].Course DescriptionThe course used in this study is a senior-level Aircraft Structures and Aeroelasticity course,which focuses on structural design and analysis of an aircraft wing.

Instead, students aretaught rhetorical, argumentative, and analytical style writing, when technically-oriented writingis required.While focus on rhetorical positioning can result in more careful student writers, this paper callsfor a return to education that will encourage the ability to create work products that caneffectively communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical readers. TWCincludes published research, reports, as well as presentations; and all of these require structure,format, and organization that differ from the conventional writing style than is taught in thehumanities.This paper presents a Project-based Learning (PBL) approach to the design and implementationof a Technical Writing and Communication course

However, there was a failure to leave behind a completed business structure that resulted in a lack of accountability that would have ensured that the business and operational objectives of the project where continued. This resulted in a nearly complete “business” failure, in part because the technology was not really what they wanted, and that resulted in a lack of societal uptake and therefore a lack of societal acceptance of the battery charging station. Also during this trip, we did not have the vision or plans to try and spread the technology around to other towns in similar situations. While we have

natural resources capable of producing energy,people and businesses are starting to look for better ways to help reduce their increasing electricbills. One way of reducing these costs is to monitor, in real time, how much power is beingconsumed and from these data make informed decisions about how to manage the electricaldevices being powered. A system that can give users an estimate of how much energy is being,has been, and might be consumed will allow them to adjust their habits and lower the costs.In this paper, we describe a capstone senior design project that designs, builds, and tests awireless sensor and actuator network for monitoring the energy use of alternating current (AC)appliances in a home environment.

Selecting asubset of cohesive tasks that vary from semester to semester allows students to rely on their ownunderstanding of the material rather than that of students from previous semesters. The order ofthe experiments is chosen to be in synchronism with the order of topics covered by mosttextbooks on introductory digital-logic design.In the capstone design project, students are assigned to produce two designs that meet a givenfunctional specification and pick the better of the two designs using their own metric.
