andgraduate work. High level skills in scientific and academic argument and analysis requirestudents to make inferences from their data, relate their data to previously published results, anduse their data in order to justify their conclusions.5 Since lab reports typically require tasks suchas statistical data analysis, graphical presentation of results, and uncertainty analysis, theybecome an excellent medium to assess the development of these high level skills.A variety of methods have been employed to teach writing skills and related data analysis skills.The Science Writing Heuristic6 is a method of guided inquiry that leads students to reflect onwhat they are learning and ask a series of standard questions about their data and observations.This

Additionally, the students should be given opportunities to practiceintegrating the design considerations of each area into a design context. This might be done through ahands-on project or through reflective design portfolios. 14Conclusions/Future WorkThroughout the conceptual design process, many constructs of coordination of knowledge about adesign are apparent. First, the tasks set forth by textbooks of aerospace design align with a high-leveltask and subtask structure. It’s also noted that each task has a goal or expected outcome. For

They must also work within a framework of sustainable development, be creative and innovative, understand business and organizations, and be prepared to live and work as global citizens. That is a tall order…”Engineering education has progressed with the introduction of different active learningpedagogies over the years, including project-based learning, problem-based learning, service-learning, and peer-led team learning. However, students are still mostly trained to solve welldefined problems which do not reflect the complexities of real-world problems.10 We proposethat translational research can

Prior to the2013 camp, initial (pre-) and concluding (post-) questionnaires were piloted among a focus groupof five youths representing the age range of camp participants. The two goals of this focus groupwere to ensure that questions were not too easy or too challenging for the intended age group andto determine whether the students understood what was being asked of them.

Since early 2015, there has been an initiative to reevaluate the Strategic Plan with theconsensus that overall the goals and mission are well described in the 2006 plan. The updatedStrategic Plan for the College was completed in summer 2015. Compared to the 2006 plan, therewere modest adaptations to the overall University and College mission and vision. These visionand mission statements are the fundamental building blocks for the undergraduate degreeprograms which then become the most tangible expression of the University’s mission for thestudents. The Curriculum in each program of the College of Engineering is continuouslyadapted to reflect these high level goals. The student

assumptions with more definite answers for students tograsp while photoelasticity provides more direct and quick results. However, the quantitativeinterpretation of the later method can be more subjective because the counting of colors is oftendifficult. Typical students’ responses as summarized below do reflect this argument.Quote: “This tool of analysis gives me more confidence because the analysis is much more precise. In thephotoelascity lab, we estimated stress based on the color range, which can be vague according to the interpretationof color.”Quote: “I trust the FEA results more than the photoelasticity results.

numerical parameters used by students in the analysis were chosen by theinstructors to provide specific results that maximize educational benefits. Material failurestresses are established to be different values for tension and compression members, though theyare not varied as a function of member length for compression members. This simple approachallows for a brief qualitative discussion about the differences between tension- and compression-related member behavior, since students have not yet learned about Euler buckling.Furthermore, a higher factory of safety is used for compression members than for tensionmembers to reflect the higher potential variability associated with stability calculations ascompared to tensile material strength.

The findings from this study suggest that the difficulties students have with solvingnovel problems can be at least partially attributed to weaknesses in their procedural knowledge. Students develop procedural knowledge through their experiences completing problems.The ability to apply these procedures fluently (see Fig. 2), with little effort required, is developedthrough practice. The Instructional Implications section of this paper presents ideas on how thisknowledge can be developed for thermodynamics.Conditional Knowledge Conditional knowledge refers to students’ knowledge of the situations in which particulardeclarative or procedural knowledge should be applied.4,31 This knowledge reflects the

Firstly, the benefit is for the community that is servedby students, and secondly, students are encouraged to connect and reflect how their educationconnects to their professional career. Through the experience students feel better about theiractions and understand the need and therefore the impact engineers have on a community. Thisencourages them to learn more about their chosen profession, and feel more confident about theirachievements. Also, students have a chance to practice and apply what they learn in class in areal project where they are exposed to the results of their design.
