wellthis way. The course structure was found to be problematic and cumbersome for some students.This is expected, since the time commitment is certainly greater than many first and second yearengineering courses.Although the following items were covered in short tutorials, students found that more emphasisand time could have been spent on topics such as: engineering ethics/morals, experience withCAD, build/test plan construction, and building/testing quality assurance roles. Students also feltas though more projects could have been devoted to solving third world problems, as the Kenyacharcoal project was the only one to address this. Time spent ideating unique ideas was anothercurriculum factor students would have liked to have seen increased

With the exceptionof the Fall 2014 final exam, the exam averages are higher for the revised course, which is to beexpected given that the programming instruction nearly doubled and all lab/homework/projectassignments were focused on programming.In a couple of years when the students who have taken our programming course are enrolled inour junior-level Mechatronics sequence, we plan to administer additional surveys to assess howwell the students feel at that time about their programming preparation and retention. We canalso compare the performance of the students who have taken our programming course vs.transfer students who have taken programming courses elsewhere, though there are many

This step always included questionsintended to point the students in the right direction and a hypothesis for them to predict what wasgoing to happen. [2] Step two provided some background information to the students which related to thechallenge question they were attempting to solve. Pertinent equations were provided as well assome description of how they were to be used. [3] In Step three, the students were asked to show which equations they were going toactually use and how they were going to perform their experiment.

educators whowant to adopt a constructive alignment approach for WSP literacy in their teaching. The two(very different) examples of approaches to assessment of WSP literacy suggested by participantsin the second workshop provide inspiration for designing assessment for the ILOs. In our furtherwork with the project, we aim to further refine the list of ILOs, and develop a library of ideas forassessing each of the suggested ILOs. We also hope to provide concrete examples of how theILOs could be adapted to a specific engineering program and/or course. For these purposes, wehope to conduct additional workshops with engineering educators. We also plan to empiricallyevaluate some of the ILOs and assessment approaches in concrete educational settings

To train engineers of the future,faculty members need to be technology advocates.In the developing world, there are many reasons for the lack of deeper knowledge of technologyintegration by faculty members. These include but are not limited by teacher apathy, budgetlimitations, lack of leadership, and lack of availability of training. Teachers’ knowledge of theengineering software application is limited, which consequently limits the meaningful learningexperience in the classroom. This process needs direction and support and must be acollaborative effort using the combined knowledge base of the faculty

The Q-matrix specifies a priori predictions about the structure of the domain representedby the items. We can use the Q-matrix codings to specify the item loadings in our confirmatoryfactor analysis (i.e., items coded as ‘1’ are hypothesized to load an that factor). Moreover, wecan assess the diagnostic capacity of the TTCI by using the version of Q-matrix with itemresponse levels (see Table 2) to create

Issues that arenot able to be resolved are assumed, perhaps implicitly, to remain intractable due to lack ofsufficient resources, failure to engage needed actors, or the inability (as of yet) to articulate avalid solution path. The role of the change agent is that of an engineer or manager.In contrast Theory B views issues as tensions between portions of the system and/or multipleactors that represent a dynamic equilibrium within the system. This equilibrium is the state ofthe system as it currently exists and the state in turn is defined by the existence of tensions. Thetensions do not exist by design, rather they arise almost coincidentally from rational ordefensible positions taken by actors or organizational units within the system
