Specifically, she hoped to avoid thechallenges her cousin encountered while on the job due to a lack of programming skills:My cousin [works as a financial analyst] and they require you to have Python and R.

On the first daystudents were exposed to design by showing them PowerPoint slides of aircraft and, in particular,pairs of aircraft that were designed for the same mission but that show very different approachesto the design. Having given them some ideas for thought, students, in their teams and without anyaccess to research sources (i.e. internet), addressed the overarching question “What is aircraftdesign?” In short sessions, called Quick Thinks (extended Think-Pair-Share exercise), teamsaddressed a series of questions. The first question, “What is design as it applies to an aircraft?”,prompted the students to develop a definition of design and then specifically how does that applyto aircraft in

SEEA captures learner approaches to decision-making (throughrecommendations), and by use expert choices and protocols as a baseline for “good” decisionmaking, one can assess learner understanding.The evaluation plan for learner performance focuses on:  Benchmarking with an objective “score” which is also useful in motivating students  Comparing

circuits class is figuring out what methodto use to solve a particular problem. Students often feel they are swimming in a sea of equations,and that every problem is unique with little or no relationship to others they have solved. Toaddress this challenge, we created a circuit analysis toolbox, shown in Figure 2. Each section ofthe toolbox shows the input and output variables for each method. The sections can be cut intocards (many students glue these to 3x5 cards). Then, the cards can be arranged to plan out themethod to solve a particular problem, matching up the input and output variables for eachmethod, somewhat like dominos.Figure 2 Circuit analysis toolbox. Each block describes input and output variables for eachmethod. These can be cut

In one implementation, it was delivered just after the mid-point of the designprocess, as students were creating detailed design verification plans. In this case, the “concepts”on which the students sought peer feedback were different ideas they had come up with to verifytheir designs. In the other implementation, the workshop was delivered about one-third of theway through the design process, once students had completed their problem formulation phaseand had begun creating a number of different conceptual designs to address the identified need.The workshop was also

Therefore, more and more Collegesof Technology have or are planning to create robotics program. Usually, as an interdisciplinaryfield, the robotics programs are provided by either Computer Engineering Technology or MET.However, students of Engineering Technology, especially MET, are facing two dilemmas whenproviding robotics courses:(1) Technology programs mainly focus on hands-on skills and there are fewer fundamentalrobotics-related courses in the MET curriculum than in electrical engineering

A few learning interventions were employed with the goal of promoting students’ growthin confidence and ability to work on open-ended problems. One intervention was the use ofimprov-theater inspired game breaks during class. Improv-inspired games were used becausethey are easy and fun to implement, and because improvisation is, effectively, an open-endedproblem: the players must create something without knowing what the result will be or how theywill do it [12]. A number of articles have suggested the use of improv-type games as a way toinspire creativity and positive risk-taking in college classrooms, including engineering andbusiness

In the event that a student reportedACT score but no SAT score, the ACT math score was converted to an equivalent SAT mathscore using College Board’s concordance tables [10]. It should be noted that there is errorassociated with converting between ACT and SAT test scores, however the concordance tablesthat were used achieved a 0.89 correlation between ACT and SAT math scores.

This includesdeveloping measurement protocols, study methodology, quantifying experimental uncertainty, anddata-reduction.

After students get an idea of the size of theiroriginal aircraft, by estimating the power loading, wing loading, drag, lift-to-drag ratio and fuelfraction, the take-off weight can be approximated. This is followed by engine sizing andselection, wing geometry and placement, airfoil selection and tail geometry and sizing. Beforetoo long, the student will be able to “rough out” their original aircraft in X-Plane by specifyingall the necessary design parameters. This will give students the opportunity to take their
