. Analysis on the Effectiveness of the Course The pilot program was comprised of nine STEM students, whom we will label as students “A”, “B “, “C”, etc. The students were randomly paired at the start of class. Student “I”, who showed an immediate technical aptitude, was paired with the instructor. At the beginning of the course, the students were informally, orally surveyed through private communications with the instructor and were asked about their interest in and understanding of engineering. While students were selected for the program based on a stated interest in engineering, this opening survey made it clear that other motives for
lessons learned from ourexperiences in the past, b) a workshop on design that included the importance of identifying andtracking social constraints, c) design reviews by faculty and class alumni that included a critiqueof social constraints, and d) sociology instruction that addressed how to effectively communicatewith community members and how to gather information towards identifying and refining socialconstraints.This paper provides the details of the social constraint material incorporated into the coursealong with a review of specific examples related to past projects. The understanding andincorporation of social constraints is critical towards the development of sustainable projects.IntroductionIn 2007, a two-semester multi-disciplinary

.1,5,7–9,11For some students, the EnSURE experience offered very practical supports on their path towardgraduate school; for instance, STUDENT-A commented: “This summer I hope to gain a betterunderstanding of what will be expected from me when I apply for graduate school. I am lookingforward to learning new ways of putting my applications together. It is also a great way to gain abetter understanding of [this university] and see if this is a place that I would like to pursue furthereducation.” STUDENT-B also expressed a desire to explore academic and professionaloptions: “I, too, hope to decide whether I want to pursue a graduate degree or go into industry. Ialso want to deeply learn my topic and make a meaningful contribution in the field

.4 In acomplex system, this has a number of implications regarding the iterative development ofmultiple models. In particular, for a target model A and a peripheral model B, changes in modelB can effect model A without the mathematical or descriptive form of model A being adjusted.This is due to the change in focus of the user’s attention. When new features or relationshipsbecome apparent, different aspects of the applicability of model A may become apparent.In the next stage of modeling, evaluation, any number of influences cause a user to considerchanging the target model. Interactions with the target system (use of the model or otherinteraction) or other representations can prompt the evaluation process.32,33

Apart from the roughedges on the corners, it is smooth on a micro level, but on a larger scale has very sharp edges thatcan cause cuts and tears [14.14 microns]. The ‘straight edge polisher’ (the big standard machine)gives the smoothest finish [1.6 microns].

The difficultyin implementing SBL is that the technique does not fit well within a typical one-hour persession class structure.In order to make it possible to implement SBL asynchronously and online, we haveintegrated ChemProV with OSBLE (Online Studio-Based Learning Environment), anonline learning management environment developed in prior research. 15 OSBLE supportsthree user interfaces: (a) student; (b) instructor; and (c) moderator. Students can submitproblem solutions (using ChemProV) to be reviewed through the system. Once they havedone so, their

analysis revealed thepresence of the carrier frequency in the AM signal and the absence of the carrier frequency in theDSBSC signal. Time domain plots of both signals are shown in figure 6.Figure 6. Time domain plots of generated functions: (a) AM signal; (b) DSBSC signal. The programmable function generator was also used to study the effects of aliasing imposed bythe sampling process. A 15-kHz square wave was sampled both with and without the anti-aliasing low-pass filter simulation found in the LPFTPL program. An aliasing frequency of 5kHz was anticipated in the signal that was processed without the filter. The Fourier series for thissquare wave is fsq(t) = A0 + A1cos(2π ×15000t) + A3cos(2 π x 45000t) + . . . (8

where the pair is connected and movable (e.g. shaft-bearing joints, slider-guideway joints, gear joints, etc.). b. Fixed connection where all relative degrees of freedom are suppressed (e.g. bolted or welded connections).With these guidelines, a virtual assembly environment can be built. However, there are stillmany concepts to be clarified, such as features, feature associations, hierarchical assemblystructure, assembly sequence modeling and how to integrate these concepts with scripted entities(SENTs) as mentioned in Section 2.In order to illustrate these issues, a planetary gear train is described below. Because planetarygear trains are characterized by high power transmission efficiency and low space requirements,they are widely

either included or excluded. While the majority of students seem to have higherscores when their own self-evaluation is included in the computation of this score, the statisticalsignificance of this observation is more modest, on the level of α=0.2.We did not implement any measure to determine student preferences for the two types ofevaluation systems. Both the point division and CATME systems are being implemented again inthe Spring 2013 semester and plans for a student attitude survey are ongoing. Page 23.32.8References[1] Michaelsen, L. K., A.

main goal of this course is for you to become a systemic thinker who uses a systematicapproach, based on methodologies in the course materials, to analyze open-ended, ill-definedproblems and issues. You will accomplish this goal by:1. Demonstrating and effectively applying the following during the appropriate phase of analysis a. formulate a problem and develop a clear statement of needs • goals, objective trees, indices of performance • functional requirements and design specifications based upon system trades b. identify solutions to a problem • creativity and innovation, brainstorming, researching existing/near solutions to the same/similar problems

Within a 15 minute testing period, the design had to process fiveliters of ‘blood’, maintain an ‘appropriate’ flow rate, oxygenate the blood a minimum amount of3 mg/l, cool the blood 5-8 oC and minimize the system volume (less than 1.5 liters). In addition,the designs had to minimize system leaks and cost. A complete description of the design projectis provided in Appendix B. Provided below are some pictures taken during testing.
