Forming Congnitive Connections: Desktop Learning Modules, Structural Analysis Software, And Full-Scale Structures, David Dittenber, Luke Thomas Fredette Aug 2022

Forming Congnitive Connections: Desktop Learning Modules, Structural Analysis Software, And Full-Scale Structures, David Dittenber, Luke Thomas Fredette

Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

One of the biggest challenges in teaching civil engineering students a theory-intensive course like structural analysis is helping students make the connection between the engineering mechanics taught at the front of the room and how those concepts define the real behavior of actual engineered structures. Absent this connection, students will often learn how to successfully perform the mathematical functions on their homework assignments but lack confidence in their ability to apply the same concepts to the analysis or design of an actual structure. Common ways to try to provide this real-world application of structural analysis principles include the use of …


Measuring Academic Integrity Perceptions And The Correlation With Ethical Reasoning, M. Green, David Dittenber Aug 2022

Measuring Academic Integrity Perceptions And The Correlation With Ethical Reasoning, M. Green, David Dittenber

Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

Here we share findings of student and faculty perceptions of academic integrity practices at two institutions, gaps between these perceptions, and how these perceptions may correlate with markers of ethical engineering identity formation. We hypothesize that a climate of informed ethical practices surrounding academic integrity supports higher levels of student outcomes on an ethical reasoning assessment. As part of this mixed methods study, engineering students indicated their perceptions via a confidential survey of how well faculty fulfill several best practices for supporting academic integrity: articulating clear policies, preventing cheating, and promoting the value of integrity in class. Students also self-reported …
