Hitt, Sarah Jayne; Holles, Cortney E. P.; Lefton, Toni – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
This article discusses two multidisciplinary courses created at the Colorado School of Mines that were developed to integrate ethics into the first-year engineering curriculum: "Nature and Human Values" (NHV) and "Innovation and Discovery in Engineering, Arts, and Sciences" (IDEAS). In both NHV and IDEAS, our objectives are to…

Liberatore, Matthew W.; Morrish, Rachel M.; Vestal, Charles R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2017
The utility of Just-In-Time-Teaching (JITT) is compared across course topics and groups of students not receiving JITT exercises in class. JITT feedback incorporated various active learning exercises based on students' performance on online homework problems from Sapling Learning. With over 200 students in two sections participating in the…

Liberatore, Matthew W.; Vestal, Charles R.; Herring, Andrew M. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
YouTube Fridays devotes a small fraction of class time to student-selected videos related to the course topic, e.g., thermodynamics. The students then write and solve a homework-like problem based on the events in the video. Three recent pilots involving over 300 students have developed a database of videos and questions that reinforce important…
