This facility played an important educational role for nearly 60 years, until it had tobe dismantled in 2006 for the renovation of Guggenheim Hall. The wind tunnel was also used atvarious times for research purposes, especially toward the end of its life. The size of the Department during this time can be best characterized by “slow growth”.The Department had a regular faculty of five throughout the period 1935-1945. Eastwoodstepped down as department head in 1946 and retired in 1947, and Kirsten retired in 1951 (hedied shortly thereafter, in 1952, at the age of 67). A faculty position was added during the late1940s reflecting the addition of the MAE

The thematicanalysis section of the paper is useful when considering the larger implications of this research.For example, by examining how all participants reflect on their graduate school experience andwhat they wish would have been different, we can provide insight to current graduate studentsand their advisors. Graduate students might feel empowered to pursue a teaching opportunitydespite it taking away time from research, and advisors might consider different ways ofsupporting their graduate students to achieve their career goals.Six new engineering assistant professors, two females and four males, were interviewed as partof a larger research project exploring the pathway to and current experiences of faculty membersat

more amenable to theirlearning than in a classroom full of other students at a set time. These advantages addressmultiple levels of diversity amongst learners.The newly found “class time” gained by delivering content outside of class rather than in theclassroom is then often used in F2F courses for activities that help students learn and retaininformation better. Some of these in-class activities could potentially be just as well done by astudent on their own; working on a calculation problem, reading and interpreting a passage,studying and interpreting a figure or graph, reflecting and writing a minute paper, to name a few.Other activities benefit significantly from the interactions between students or students andlearning facilitators

Selectingparticipants for the Delphi method is considered one of the crucial steps in designing the researchas the output mainly will be based on the opinions of the selected experts. Skulmoski et al.(2008) recommended four criteria for the selection of the experts: 1) their knowledge andexperience with the research topic, 2) they voluntarily agree to participate, 3) they have adequatetime to participate, and 4) they have proper communication skills. Based on these criteria, theparticipants for this research were selected from four different groups of people who wereinvolved in the engineering

The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great.

Mastery of additional outcomes beyond these specific concepts leads to a higher grade.This paper focusses on the outcomes-based grading used in the course and the students reactionsto the grading scheme.Results of preliminary assessment indicate that outcomes-based grading may create greater un-certainty in students regarding their final grades and can lead to the perception that final gradesdo not reflect their true knowledge of the material. Outcomes-based assessment can help stu-dents to better anticipate what they will be tested on, but a well-organized traditional “points-based” grading scheme can accomplish this just as

/eliminate thisundesired effect, quasi-random number (QRN) sequences are introduced. The generators of thesesequences are so designed and developed that they produce more uniformly distributed randomnumbers. The study of uniformly distributed RNs was started in 1916 by Weyl [5]. Heintroduced the notion of discrepancy that reflects clustering and that measures the quality ofuniformity of a random point set. Hence the QRNs are also known as low discrepancysequences. An ideal QRN sequence is one where discrepancy/clustering is nonexistent. Forinstance, if we generate K, say 1000, random points over a finite area having A, say 10, unitsquares, then in each of the A=10 unit squares we should have exactly K/A = 100 points for anideal QR sequence.

Limitations of the survey werethat even though the survey was designed to measure conception, the respondent was limited andsomewhat guided by the options listed on the survey. These may not fully reflect therespondent’s conception of engineering design. To help address this, the survey did provide theoption for the respondent to provide additional comments and add design activities. The questions used in the survey addressed content validity in that they presented astudent’s knowledge of design; construct validity in that selection of the most and least importantdesign activities gave some insight into the student’s reasoning; and criterion validity in that wealso gained

researchers have argued that this model does not provide a complete picture ofengagement. They pointed out that it does not consider the commitment of psychological energyor the relationship between the quality of student effort and student learning.30 Other theorieswere developed to explain the impact of engagement on student development. For example,experiential learning theory took a dynamic view of learning entirely separate from the IEOmodel. Instead, it was based on a learning cycle which in turn was driven by the resolution ofdual dialectics which it defined to be action/reflection and experience/abstraction.24 Regardless of the model, it has been well established that engagement has a positiveeffect on student outcomes and development
