This survey was conducted online using SurveyMonkey(www.surveymonkey.com) and took place during the tenth and eleventh weeks of instruction.The text of the survey is included in Appendix A. Formative evaluation of the survey wasconducted prior to implementation with students. Several experts in mechanics of materials aswell as non-experts outside the field were asked to take the survey and comment on its structureand clarity.

these changes, traditional textbooks remain prevalent, butthey increasingly struggle to meet modern courses' diverse and dynamic needs. Traditionaltextbooks, typically organized to comprehensively cover a course's syllabus, need moreflexibility to address specific course requirements. This inflexibility often results in a disconnectbetween provided content and the evolving curriculum demands. Additionally, the static natureof traditional textbooks limits their ability to incorporate current information, diminishing theireffectiveness in rapidly advancing academic disciplines.Research has highlighted the limitations of traditional textbooks in comparison to electronicformats.

humankind unique, both individually and as a species, remains unclear. Advances in neuroscience and computer science, as well as ethics, generate questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and personhood and the rights and protections associated with being human. In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1. Basic neuroscience 2. Distinctions between humans and nonhumans 3. Emotional connection and dependencies between

.” 8The authors were very pleased with the project’s outcome. However, several changes will bemade for the Spring 2007 course offering: 1. The project will be carried out with the senior class only. This is due to the fact that students at the senior level have more technical knowledge and overall academic coursework to appreciate the topic of diversity and its impact on their professional lives. 2. The project will be part of the coursework, it will be noted in the course syllabus, and will be assigned much earlier in the semester (perhaps around week 5). 3. The project will be graded as a regular lab project not as an extra-credit assignment. 4. Rather than choosing a country; students will be assigned a technical project

Next semester I expect to use it more often since I will be teaching Electronics I.  Lack of time allocated to this kind of exercise in the syllabus.  Time constraints prevented integrating the device more often. Preparing a class using a new device requires time for preparation. Limited multimeter functions also limited the use of the device.  The workshop was given after the courses were designed (mid-semester workshop).  Labview by National Instruments and Arduino fill most of the material for experiments but
