unwillingness to answer the question.Some students expressed frustration about the fact that even if they have already applied whatthey perceive are effective learning strategies, their performance in the class was stillunsatisfactory (“I don't know… I put more effort into learning this material than all of myclasses combined, and then some more. To say that I was disappointed in the results is anunderstatement.”) There are a select few, however, who chose to provide ambiguous responses(“Nothing”; “N/A”; “not applicable”) or expressed unwillingness to comment on their learningprocess as part of the survey (This is a bad question please stop asking it. It[’s] not relevant, Iget it I could [have] done more but that’s not point of the spot surveys”). The

Students claimed that understanding how a hanging chain’s shape isdetermined from equilibrium helped solidify their understanding of how an arch is able to stand,and that a catenary is the optimal shape for an arch. Students also commented on theirunderstanding that the “[s]urface area of the blocks affects stability” and that “friction plays acrucial role in keeping the blocks together”.The Tanks and Culverts activity displayed positive results for understanding how granular mediabehaves in pipe structures. Most students seemed to grasp how gravity, in conjunction withfriction, produces the

Therefore, while the project expertunderstood the complexity of the design and discussed the actual quantified margins ofuncertainty, we see by move 4’s question that this explanation was insufficient for the reviewer.At this point, we see the manager interject in move 4 in an attempt to explain in a differentmanner by indicating that some parts can be changed out to help with the thermal balancing,suggesting the use of a simulator, and insisting that the project expert has done everything theycan at this point.

) highlightsthe following data about sources of academic research funding: The federal government provided 59% ($32.6 billion) of the $54.9 billion of academic spending on S&E R&D in FY 2009. Industry's % of funding for academic R&D declined steeply after the 1990s, from above 7% in 1999 down to about 5% by 2004, but has seen a 5-year increase to about 6% in 2009.While this indicates that industry funded research is relatively low (6% overall in 2009), someUS universities within engineering, especially at large R1 schools, receive a considerably higherpercentage of their research funding from industry than the overall 6% reported by the NSBreport.

communication and management acumen (e.g., technicalwriting, technical presentations, and project management). Such an approach is essential topreparing future engineers for the workplace [1]. The challenge becomes providing studentswith effective exposure to both kinds of skills within engineering programs.Traditionally, the development of such skills has been a matter of content-specific courseworkintegrated into a school’s engineering program(s). (A classic example is the technical writingcourse often offer by English or communication departments and required of engineeringundergraduates.) As institutional resources shrink and student demand increases, the need tofind alternative methods for offering training in these “soft-skill” areas grows

Newtonian mechanics [15],visualizing electric circuits [16] and several activities in chemistry [3].Solving apparently simple problems in mathematics can be very challenging as illustrated in astudy by Clement [17] who administered a number of word problems to engineering students.Just under one third of students were able to construct the correct algebraic equation from thefollowing statement (using C to represent the number of cheesecakes and S the number ofstrudels): “At Mindy’s restaurant, for every four people who ordered cheesecake, there are fivepeople who ordered strudel.” Such high error rates in problem solving can be exacerbated bychanging the problem phrasing. For example, Hegarty, Mayer & Green [18] found thatrephrasing a simple
