1. GOAL: To improve conceptual understanding and processing skills  In the context of course ◦ Draw free-body diagrams for textbook problems ◦ Solve 3-D textbook problems ◦ Describe the effect(s) of external forces on a solid object orally  In a broader context ◦ Solve out-of-context problems ◦ Visualize 3-D problems ◦ Communicate technical problems orally ◦ Improve critical thinking skills ◦ Enhance intellectual development 1 Handout 3

2. GOAL: To improve ◦ Self- confidence ◦ Attitude about engineering as a career 2

3.  Write SMART outcomes for your goals Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely  Achieving outcomes brings you closer to your goal, e.g. ◦ Goal: My students will be life long learners ◦ Outcomes ( some of these lack SMART components ) :  reading an unassigned technical article,  attending a professional society meeting  attending a non required seminar or talk  Outcomes provide observable effects that goals are being achieved 3

4.  Write expected measurable outcomes for each of the following goals: ◦ Improve the students’ understanding of the fundamental concepts in statics (cognitive) ◦ Improve the students’ self confidence (affective)  Long Exercise ---- 6 min ◦ Think individually -------- ~2 min ◦ Share with a partner ----- ~2 min ◦ Report in local group ---- ~2 min  Watch time and reconvene after 6 min  Use THINK time to think – no discussion, Selected local facilitators report to virtual group Non engineers may substitute: “Organic chemistry” for “statics” 4
