Many innovative approaches to first-year engineering curriculum development have been created and implemented over the past twenty years. Often, innovative approaches incorporate one or more engineering projects as learning experiences for first-year students. Further, problem-based and project-based pedagogical theories have offered the framework for many innovative learning experiences for engineering students in all four years of engineering curricula. As Texas A&M University improves its first-year engineering curricula, faculty members are re-examining the nature of the project-based learning experiences both to improve the learning experiences and to develop specifications for future project-based learning experiences. This paper presents the rationale behind the five specifications and offers experiences in developing and implementing the design projects for the prototype first-year engineering curricula. The paper also describes the assessment and evaluation plan as well as assessment data that has been analyzed to date","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114133747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The students then designed, fabricated and presented for testing both a vertically and horizontally mounted sun clock. These projects were evaluated based on the accuracy of the clocks, the quality of the artifacts, and a written report. The students were asked to participate in the grading of the artifacts. Their evaluations were shown to be very \"conservative\" (everyone was given A's and B's.) in spite of explicit instructions to the contrary, leading to the suggestion that engineering students may lack the skills to make effective, qualitative judgments and may benefit from an exposure to design in other, more qualitative disciplines like interior design, industrial design, and/or architecture","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114424853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these courses, the students work on large projects in teams of 14 to 16 students using variants of Team Software Process (TSP) or Extreme Programming (XP). In order to compare the students' experiences with these methodologies, the team in the plan-driven course and one of the agile teams were given the same problem statement. Throughout the semester, we measured team cohesion and individuals' attachment to the project. To measure team cohesion, we modified the Group Environment Questionnaire that has been shown to accurately reflect team cohesion in sports teams. We also developed some of our own cohesion metrics and a measure of attachment to the project. While the GEQ showed no significant difference between the teams, our measures showed higher overall cohesion in XP, but higher sub-team cohesion in TSP. At the end of the semester, we also compared the functionality of the applications the teams developed and a variety of code metrics measuring the quality of their code and its design. While the team's developed approximately the same amount of functionality, in general, the XP team's code had better metrics. The TSP team required much more code to accomplish the same functionality because, although they had a strong design, their implementation did not leverage inheritance as the design expected","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129510130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over half of the students (21 out of 41) interviewed commented about Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), or Electrical Engineering. Student responses fell into three categories: perceptions of the disciplines (12), perceptions of the departments (7), and perceptions of programming courses (15). IE students perceived these disciplines as intangible, populated by cubicle dwellers, limited, and lucrative. These disciplines need to better communicate their professional context. Perceptions of the departments came mostly from former CE majors who felt unwelcome there. Of the 30 students who had taken the programming course, 4 students enjoyed it and 11 students disliked it. The absence of an accepted pedagogy for beginning programming classes is felt by these students","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129611376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was a strong focus on performance. The courses spanned sophomore to senior levels. Some aspects of the ballet model worked well: setting rules for the Sacred Space for learning, the beginning activity (\"stretch\"), the overall organization of the class session, communicating the known ideal, including historical background, and using demonstrations. Some aspects did not work (thus far): exams are not yet performances on stage, little practice or rehearsal occurs, little competition between students occurs, asking students questions in class is uncomfortable, and many students do not want to be in class. New ideas presented include \"casting\" for exams and highlighting the role of repetition in learning. It was deemed worthwhile to apply the performing arts model to foster increased learning during engineering class","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128362305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there are many advantages to electronic projection, a large drawback is the loss of interactivity and spontaneity that can result. The use of a tablet PC by the instructor promises to overcome this difficulty. The tablet PC, combined with appropriate software, enables the instructor to \"write and draw\" using digital ink. This allows the instructor to provide colour attentional marks, annotations and drawings as the lecture progresses. Examples of the use of digitally inked slides for classroom teaching are given. While a basic study of the impact on using the tablet PC as the primary method of instruction does not show a noticeable difference in effectiveness over using other methods, both instructor and student responses to the use of the tablet PC were favorable","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128602356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
