Technology to promote concept-based, active learning and enable education research

Creator:: Brooks, Bill J.
Abstract:: This dissertation centers on development of two web-based, in class learning tools, the AIChE Concept Warehouse (CW) and the Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering Learning Tool (WISE), and describes the investigation of student learning through their use. The intent of these tools is to promote deeper conceptual understanding in students...

Models and Modeling in Capstone Physical and Virtual Laboratory Projects

Creator:: Nefcy, Erick J.
Abstract:: The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the model generation and modeling processes of student teams that participate in capstone, undergraduate engineering physical and virtual laboratory projects. The Heat Exchange Laboratory Project, the Ion Exchange Laboratory Project, and the Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Laboratory Project provide the context...

The Development and Implementation of Interactive Virtual Laboratories

Creator:: Bowen, Alec S.
Abstract:: The Interactive Virtual Laboratories (IVLs) are a series of two-dimensional simulations designed to help students conceptually learn difficult concepts in thermodynamics. Three studies were performed to help elucidate how the IVLs affect student learning. In the first study, eight students were observed while completing one of the IVLs. The students...

Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

Creator:: Nigon, Nutnicha
Abstract:: There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...

Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

Creator:: Thompson, Kyle B.
Abstract:: In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...

Characterization of expert solutions to inform instruction and assessment in an industrially situated process development task

Creator:: Sherrett, Ben U.
Abstract:: What constitutes a quality solution to an authentic task from industry? This study seeks to address this question through the examination of two expert solutions to an authentic engineering task used in the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering curriculum at Oregon State University. The two solutions were generated by two...

Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in a Studio Learning Environment: Practices, Epistemologies, and Pedagogical Development

Creator:: Smith, Christina
Abstract:: Providing transformational learning opportunities for undergraduate students demands changes to teaching practices. In large-enrollment introductory courses, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an important role in facilitating student learning in small group environments. However GTAs are not provided the pedagogical development necessary to support them to be effective in their teaching...

Effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Creator:: Gunderson, Eric P.
Abstract:: The effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was investigated. Aligned CNTs were observed using a cosputtered catalytic metal deposited directly on boro-aluminosilicate glass. Catalytic metal alloys were sputtered directly onto the substrate using magnetron sputtering. Deposition...

Characterization of the feedback between the instructor and student teams engaged in a virtual bioreactor laboratory project

Creator:: Whinnery, Jaynie L.
Abstract:: This thesis characterizes the feedback between the instructor and student teams engaged in a Virtual Bioreactor (VBioR) Laboratory Project. The project allows senior-level chemical, biological, and environmental engineering students to apply their developing knowledge and skills in an industrially situated process optimization project. Feedback is an important tool for instructors...

Industrially-situated project-based learning : a study of feedback and diffusion

Creator:: Gilbuena, Debra M.
Abstract:: The Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process Development Project provides the context for the two areas of the research presented in this dissertation. The first area, generally referred to as feedback in this dissertation, focuses on student learning and the interactions of students and instructors that take place in the...
