Laughton’s research interests include environmental nanotechnology, sustainability, and engineering education.
Dan D. Nale is Professor of Practice in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Citadel. Dan received a BS in Civil Engineering from The Citadel and both a MS and PhD in Civil Engineering from The University of South Carolina. Dan a
Completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam is a graduation requirement for students in the Civil & Environmental Engineering program at College X. The FE supplies a resource handbook (FERH) with formulas, standard values, conversions, etc. However, textbooks and the FERH often use different versions of standard equations. To familiarize students with FERH, students in the three-course environmental engineering sequence are given a standardized formula booklet for class tests based on the FERH and are allowed to annotate. This paper will present student perceptions on the use of the annotated-FERH on class exams, the annotation content in a semester’s collected formula booklets, and possible correlations between annotation and performance on tests.
