design derived from the exercises.There are many ways of using class exercises in the classroom setting. For a small class size, theteacher may simply use an exercise to engage students in discussion and hands-on practice. Forlarger classes, the students can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as aninstrument leading to group projects. Woods and Howard [12] effectively used class exercisesfor Information Technology students to study ethical issues. Day and Foley [13] used class timeexclusively for exercises, having their students prepare for class with materials provided online.Bishop and Verleger [14] presented a comprehensive survey of the research that revieweddifferent ways of using class exercises in the classroom, often

After theworkshop, participants join a year-long coaching process with a faculty mentor to develop and executetheir projects with students.In this paper, we report on the key elements of the workshop design and insights from past participantsacross multiple years. We surveyed all past participants of the workshops, and respondents indicated thatthey had received several benefits from the workshop experience including better planning andorganization of research experiences for undergraduates. Faculty reported significant benefits to thestudents such as more attending graduate school but also to their own research practices includingbuilding a capacity for more readily identifying the value of their work.We hope

teachingengineering design. The results also seem to indicate that these teaching qualities take severalyears to develop through the STOMP model. Complementary experiences, such as professionaldevelopment workshops, that are coupled with STOMP may accelerate these positive results.Further studies that investigate how to best prepare teachers for teaching engineering content inthe classroom will be an important accompaniment to this one. Further study of STOMP and itsimpact on student learning is also important for a more complete understanding of the program.Longitudinal data on STOMP and how individual teachers change over the course of theirenrollment in the program will also give a better idea of how the program impacts teachers.Bibliography1.

aspect of the peer evaluation process that was enforced by theinstructor was the requirement to actually do it. Those students who failed to submit their peerevaluations by the end of each quarter were given grades of “incomplete.” Once the lateevaluations were submitted, the incomplete was changed to a letter grade, with no penaltyimposed for late submission.When possible, each cohort took advantage of the work the preceding cohorts had done ondesigning and administering a peer evaluation instrument. Since the students in the first cohorthad no prior work on which to base the design of their instrument, they devoted time early in theyear to researching best practices in this area. Their first attempt clearly exhibited their lack ofexperience in

Wheneight-semester persistence is studied as an academic outcome, caution should be taken wheninterpreting results. Further, if the research and the dataset permit, six-year graduation should beused directly, rather than any persistence measures used to approximate it. The comparison ofboth outcomes in Figure 2 reveals additional information about the experience of a population.We anticipate future work that will explore these issues in a way that disaggregates race andgender, requiring a more complicated graph design. Differences by discipline and with time arealso relevant and will begin to emerge from this work. Future research could

capstone design project, three teams of 1 st-class midshipmen (seniors majoring in oceanengineering at the U.S. Naval Academy) set about to identify and design an ocean energy systemto compete, at least conceptually, with Navy contractors. These teams explored various renew-able energy sources such as ocean thermal, wave, and offshore wind energy. In four-monthstime, each team researched the alternatives and developed a concept design for its selectedenergy source. Results were presented to a Review Panel consisting of Navy representatives andocean engineering professionals. Brief details of this capstone experience and educational oppor-tunities in renewable ocean energies at the U.S. Naval Academy are shared later in the paper.Past developments
