Abstract:
Quantitative Engineering Analysis is an eight-credit, two semester, experiential project-based course at F. W. Olin College of Engineering, for second and third semester engineering students. The course is designed to improve students facility and confidence in choosing and using the power tools of analysis in solving engineering problems. The goal of this workshop is to expose faculty from other institutions to the student experience in the first semester of this class, where participants will work through a number of activities based on activities done by students in the course. These goals align with the goals of FIE as we aim to expose participants to innovative teaching practice on multiple fronts including experiential, project-based learning of fundamental mathematics, physics and engineering material, approaches to teaming for students as well as interdisciplinary faculty, and scaffolding self-directed learning. Additionally, we will work with participants to initiate designs of activities which draw on these ideas that are adapted to the contexts of their home institutions.
