Through a grant from the NSF, we have developed a games-based virtual lab simulation for the Strength of Materials lab for civil engineering students. The virtual lab is a visual recreation of three course labs, the Tension Test, Torsion Test, and Poisson’s Ratio Test. By using the simulation, a number of scenarios can be virtually shown to students that would normally not be tested in a lab due to cost and safety concerns. Using strategic interface design aesthetics, we project that the 3D games-based learning environment will result in improved learning and reduced costs to engineering programs. V ... (continued)

Students often have difficulty generating multiple creative ideas for design problems. “Design Heuristics” is an empirically derived and validated approach to product design ideation; our research has shown that concepts created by engineering students who used Design Heuristics were more complex, creative designs. This workshop will include a review of relevant research on idea generation and an introduction to this research-grounded creativity tool. Participants will practice using the Design Heuristics to generate concepts for design tasks and discuss ways to implement it effectively in their classrooms.

So, what did students learn in your course this semester? We all work hard to teach students often-difficult concepts, but we seldom check beyond traditional testing to measure the learning gains experienced in and between our courses. The creation, development, and use of these inventories foster constructive conversations among educators as well as their students. Concept inventories are tools that can foster constructive conversations about what and how students are learning between instructors, students, and researchers. They represent a relatively unique form of an assessment instrument wi ... (continued)
