SS 5921 - Teaching Methods A: Principles of Engineering

4 lecture hours 4 lab hours 6 credits
Course Description
This course is an independent study course taken in conjunction with the Project Lead The Way Core Training Institute course, “Principles of Engineering (POE)”, requiring the completion of a project development or a research paper. A proposal for the project should be submitted to the advisor and agreed upon before work is started. A typical project may involve the development of a student project exemplifying the use of course material. The teacher should develop the project sufficiently to show that it would be feasible. An example would be the development of a new part incorporating the use of rapid prototyping along with the methodology to be used. Along with the design, the graduate project would include performance objectives, presentation materials, the methodology of presenting the material, and the rubrics to be used in evaluating student performance. A second type of project would involve the development of an improved lesson plan for presenting the material for one of the topics in POE. This would also include supporting background information beyond the presented material along with student-based performance objectives, all presentation materials, quiz, and rubrics for grading. A research paper might involve research to develop material beyond that presented in the course. The subject matter and scope should be presented in the proposal to the advisor. (prereq: PLTW teaching concurrently taking PLTW Core Training Course (POE))
