Mentors spend three hours a week at an assigned school.In total five schools were visited during the six week competition period for BEST Robotics. Inaddition, in 2006, almost two dozen Robotics educators, from the School District of Philadelphia(SDP), gathered at Villanova University' s Center for Engineering Education and Research(CEER) to take part in an AT&T sponsored three-day computer-aided design workshop. Thisprogram was repeated in 2007 when 26 teachers visited Villanova
Quantification of LearningTheories abound for ways of measuring learning. Fundamentally, learning is about contrasts:contrasts at points in time regarding knowledge, understanding, and skill that is transferred fromthe instructor to the student. The transference of information alone does not constitute learningin its full measure, although this mode of learning is easily quantifiable (exams for example). Ahigher mode of learning is using facts to arrive at understanding. To quantify understanding it isnecessary to frame the instrument of measure in the context of the central concept(s); Ericksoncalls this a “conceptual lens” [22]. For example, after learning the facts about expansion andcompression, the concept of heat transfer becomes more apparent. A
cadets take in their major. Each major contains at least one integrativeexperience course that serves as the culmination of the cadet’s academic experience. For theengineering majors this is the Capstone course(s). Most of the engineering and computer sciencemajor programs are accredited by ABET. Cadets majoring in ABET-accredited engineeringprograms have to take at least 44 courses in order to meet the required hours for math, basicscience and engineering topics since cadets take such a large load of core courses in thehumanities and social sciences. Cadets may also graduate with honors if they meet certain gradepoint average and curriculum objectives. The overall academic curriculum prepares cadets wellto ‘respond effectively to the

Paper ID #9724Examining the Engineering Design Process of First-Year Engineering Stu-dents During a Hands-on, In-class Design Challenge.Ms. Jessica E S Swenson, Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach Jessica Swenson is a graduate student at Tufts University. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with a research focus on engineering education. She received a M.S. from Tufts University in science, technology, engineering and math education and a B.S. from Northwestern University in mechan- ical engineering. Her current research involves examining the design process of undergraduate students
inventory management; material requirements planning; just intime practices; and maintenance and reliability. This course is designed to provide students witha brief introduction to these topics so that they can better choose which areas they wish to pursuein more depth later in the program.At program inception in the 1970’s, all courses were taught in traditional classroom settings. Inthe l990’s the program experimented with distance delivery through the use of VHS tapedlectures, and the Introduction to Operations Management course was the first to be delivered inthis format. Driven by improving educational technology, course content delivery moved fromVHS tapes to CDs, and eventually to fully online courses. As the distance component of the

While 88.8% ofacademic leaders believe that lower retention rates are due to a lack of discipline on the part ofthe online learner1, various studies indicate that the extent to which

In both engineering design and other PBL processes, solutionsare non-unique and context-specific. And in both contexts, having students begin with the socio-technical concept of technology helps foster a more durable and culturally astute set ofconsiderations when those students perform the iterative process.
