Hi
We are
getting ready to try TBL in a Mechanical Design class of 120
students.
Does
anyone have some examples of RAT's and Application Assignments that they have
used.....for engineering, math or the sciences? or can recommend someone who has
used TBL in these disciplines.
We are
struggling a bit with how to integrate the typically calculation centric nature
of the subject...with the make a choice or make a list type
exercises.
We......might??..... focus on the applicability of certain calculations
to steps in the design process, the estimate that are necessary and assumption
that are implicit with some equations and the role of personal choice and it
effect on solving a design problem......identify failure points in
designs??
I
would be very grateful for any suggestion, direction or
resources.
Thanks
Jim
** PS:
I have enjoyed the high quality of the discussions on this
list
