Performance of college-level floral design students was compared using a sample of 140 students from Texas A&M University. The experimental group was enrolled in the online version of the course, while the control group was enrolled in the traditional version of the course. Students in both groups were asked to fill out surveys at the beginning and end of the semester. In addition, student floral designs were evaluated at the beginning and end of the semester, and student grades were compared at the end of the semester.

This paper presents an approach for demonstrating the interdependent and integrated nature of the engineering design process. The approach emphasizes the varied and multi-disciplinary nature of design so that students are aware of the importance and application of other course material. As an example, an air duct system is considered from its initial design through to its construction. This also provides an opportunity for students to understand the basic theory of surface development in sheet metal design and to carry out finite element (FE) stress analysis and air flow simulation in the firs

The students’ printed circuit board design experience emulated real-world situations and cost criteria. The instructor served as the fabricator in this model of the industrial design situation. Students individually used industry standard schematic capture and layout software to develop a

Context.—Laboratory medicine is an integral component of patient care. Approximately 60% to 70% of medical decisions are based on laboratory results. Physicians in specialties that order the tests are teaching medical students laboratory medicine and test use with minimal input from laboratory scientists who implement and maintain the quality control for those tests. Objective.—To develop, implement, and evaluate a 1.5-day medical student clinical laboratory experience for fourth-year medical students in their last month of training. Design.—The experience was devised and directed by laborator

Abstract:
Generations of students have discovered, too often, that laboratory experience is the least satisfactory aspect of reading engineering. It is a regular comment from employers of engineering graduates that new employees are deficient in basic laboratory skills, yet the problem persists and unquestionably leaves serious expositors of the subject with a feeling that more should be done in this area. Some three years ago the authors decided a serious effort was needed to address these issues in our own department. The vehicle chosen was the Level 1 circuit design course.

Abstract:
The National Science Foundation and others have made compelling arguments that research be incorporated into the learning of undergraduates. In response to these arguments, a two-hybrid research project was incorporated into a molecular biology course that contained both a lecture section and a laboratory section. The course was designed around specific goals for educational outcomes, including introducing research to a wide range of students, teaching students experimental design and data analysis, and enhancing understanding of course material. Additional goals included teaching students to

A laboratory exercise is described that introduces the engineering student to design to meet a customer specification. The student learns to appreciate the system-engineering nature of design, where multiple objectives need to be satisfied. The design vehicle is one of the most conceptually simple instruments, namely a voltmeter based on a moving-coil movement. The student finds out how to reduce cost by making maximum use of the tolerance-forming part of the customer specification. He or she learns how both deterministic and statistical methods may be brought to bear. The statistical method a

Research over the last decade has indicated that active learning and student-centered instruction lead to better learning outcomes in undergraduate biology courses than traditional methods such as lecturing. This shift in pedagogical approach has been applied to both high-enrollment lecture-based courses as well as smaller laboratory courses. In these laboratory courses, the primary instructor is often a graduate or undergraduate student teaching assistant. Such novice instructors often lack the pedagogical knowledge and experience to implement student-centered instructional practices such as

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide a promising avenue to attract a larger and more diverse group of students into research careers. CUREs are thought to be distinctive in offering students opportunities to make discoveries, collaborate, engage in iterative work, and develop a sense of ownership of their lab course work. Yet how these elements affect students’ intentions to pursue research-related careers remain unexplored. To address this knowledge gap, we collected data on three design features thought to be distinctive of CUREs (discovery, iteration, collaboratio

Abstract The present paper addresses the issue of how interest-driven learning can enhance an attitude of student-generated inquiry in the learning process so to promote student participation in university research projects. The research question is how wonder as an epistemic emotion may sustain students’ interest-generated questioning, and how the latter may influence the design of a university research project.
