because all the free response (long answer)questions received input from most of the students. Students provided constructive feedbackwhich faculty have found to be very useful in modifying the course content for future offerings.Table 2 gives a complete list of the categorical questions along with the response means. Over90% of the questions had a response average of 4 or more and nearly 75% of the questions had aresponse average over 4.5 or higher. Three questions received 5’s from all 11 students: • How studying this subject area helps people address real world issues; • How doing hands-on classroom activities helped learning; and • How the Design Charrette helped learning.Table 1 Springer 1 Course Student Assessment of

However, instead of using a snapshot, one-time, method,another study added the element of time by reviewing team performances to accomplish asemester long project. The study consisted of 53, four to five-person student teams. The studyindicated that proper management of relationships and task conflicts had a positive effect onteam cohesion and that team cohesion had a positive relationship to team performance, thereby, apositive relationship existed between proper conflict management and team performance.30Therefore, in contrast to Carter et al.’s approach to employing a

There are also industry advisor(s) and/or a project sponsor. Students oftenfind their projects and industry advisors while they are completing the co-op experience.Sometimes engineers within the community volunteer their time as advisors and bring their ownprojects. Other typical projects involve design of a new campus building or development of anempty property lot within the city. Similar to what is done at other institutions, students interactwith local engineers, stakeholders, and city officials during their projects [13, 16]. Each teamworks on a unique project.The course has

For various reasons (research, too many classes, highservice load, etc.), there is a large population of teachers between the groups described abovewho could use help increasing their teaching and communication skills as shown in the middlelevels of the teaching skills hierarchy in Figure 1. This population of teachers may not attendMTEI programming, but will frequently respond well to information tied to their specificcourse(s) that is timely and time efficient to implement. Reaching all faculty, including in thislast group, has guided the design and implementation of the mid-semester course feedbackprogram.MTEI is supported and mentored by very successful alumni and we value the insights andexternal

included issues related to recruiting and retaining more minorities in engineering. He believedthe service aspect of diversity did not belong in a teaching portfolio because it did not directlyrelate to teaching. His second category referred to ways to handle diverse groups of people in theclassroom. YI104 chose to not include his diversity statement in his teaching portfolio because hedid not like it and felt that diversity was more of a service responsibility, rather than explicitlyrelated to teaching diverse groups.YI104’s diversity views were greatly influenced by a childhood experience. When he was growingup he asked his grandfather if he knew Tagalog and his grandfather responded,‘you’re American, speak English”. This caused YI104 to treat

removed from the toaster. The difference incooling behavior of the two metal toast samples is because the black toast is a better emitter ofradiation and when the power is cut off, the black toast is much warmer than the inner walls ofthe toaster, and air inside the toaster. The toast experiment presented here is a good in-class demonstration to motivate discussionof radiation heat transfer. After students attend lecture(s) on radiation, they return to thelaboratory for more extensive experimental investigation. Measurements in the follow-upexperiment include (1) comparison of additional surface properties, (2) use of thermocoupleswith radiation shields to measure the air temperature inside the toaster, (3) investigation ofcooling in different
lifelong learningITA Learning StatementsStudents enrolled in NUC 495 are required to develop learning statements that objectivelyaddress the ITA learning objectives. A learning statement must include an explanation andexample(s) of how a given learning objective has been met. Evidence must be provided insupport of every learning statement. The relationship between the given learning objective andthe corresponding evidence must be explained. The essential elements of good learningstatements are as follows: • Written clearly and concisely in Standard Written English • Written in the form of a narrative • Supporting evidence is referenced and provided • Describe how the evidence supports the learning statement

of listening to community members, and for instructionalpurposes offers numerous case studies and poses many reflection and discussion questions.Mihelcic et al.’s Field Guide to Environmental Engineering for Development Workers: Water,Sanitation, and Indoor Air similarly emphasizes community participation.9 Yet it is somewhatmore specifically scoped as an environmental engineering field guide, with extensive technicaldiscussion of appropriate technologies for water supply and treatment, latrine building,sanitation, etc. The design firm IDEO, on the other hand, has developed a Human CenteredDesign Toolkit, which is organized around processes, methods, and tools that can be used toidentify problems and design solutions for communities in need
of institutions each having common FYEPs. Having acommon FYEP means that, all engineering students take the same introductory engineeringcourse(s). Common FYEPs were chosen because they are not discipline specific which providescontinuity across institutions and because they tend to focus on common topics such asteamwork, communication, graphing, problem solving, etc.For this analysis, we draw on five semi-structured interviews, each from a different institution, toprovide a broad picture of GTAs’ views on teaching competence. While this is a small sample,we believe that the interviews chosen are a strong representation of the experiences of GTAs andtherefore our qualitative analysis yields rich, meaningful and impactful results.
