faculty’s skepticism of engineering education as a scholarly activity has created anenvironment at many institutions that make the pursuit of deeply focused and productiveengineering education research program anywhere from difficult to impossible. In someinstances, engineering faculty with a high level of interest in engineering education carry aboveaverage teaching loads and are advised to develop and maintain traditional engineering researchprograms to ensure tenure. These faculty pursue engineering education projects as a sidelineactivity that often must be accomplished with little resources (e.g. time, funding, or graduatestudents). Alternatively, engineering faculty pursuing engineering education are relegated tonon-tenure track positions

EducationThe call for engineering education reform is driving the need for the establishment of the field ofengineering education as a scholarly endeavor. This call for reform is exemplified in the 1994joint project report on Engineering Education for a Changing World by the Engineering DeansCouncil and Corporate Roundtable of the American Society for Engineering Education1, the1995 Report by the Board on Engineering Education of the National Research Council2, and therecent call for change by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) leadership3. The othersignificant development has been the adoption by the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) of Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000), a new set of program accreditationstandards that

The objective of the course was to provide engineering graduatestudents with information about the learning process and resources on teaching and academia tohelp them make informed decisions about teaching as a career and to help them be betterteachers. We believe this course is unique because it provides a curriculum taught to graduatestudents by a graduate student. This work was funded by a Huckabay Teaching Fellowship, aprogram that provides support for teaching projects conducted by graduate students paired withmentors.1I.

Although there is no need, from a disciplinary perspective, forevery engineering educator to engage in a sociolinguistic analysis of engineeringcommunication, it is important to realize that such work is possible and is being done, albeitslowly in the context of engineering education. This work can form a foundation for morerigorous work in engineering communication. Within the engineering education community, what do we mean by ‘an ability tocommunicate effectively?’ That is one of the goals of this research project – to analyze the usesand meanings of ‘communication’ within the engineering educational community.

Learning outside of classes, especially in residential settings and extracurricular activities such as the arts, is vital. · Get feedback. Students say they learn significantly more in courses that are highly structured, with relatively many quizzes and short assignments – crucial to this preference is getting quick feedback from the professor. Students are frustrated and disappointed with classes that require only a final paper or project. · Work cooperatively. Challenging or complex homework assignments that force students to work

The problems designed for this project cover a number of major topics typicallydiscussed in an introductory level structural analysis course such as equilibrium, shear andmoment diagrams, and deflections. By performing the exercises selected for this course, thestudents learn how to utilize MATLAB to perform a variety of tasks related to analyzingstructures. These tasks can involve activities such as determining the reactions in a simplestatically determinate beam using static equilibrium considerations, or analyzing a morecomplicated indeterminate frame using the method of slope-deflection.
