The promoted plan employs the CT Systemic Change Model, developed by ISTE. We utilize the model with the outcome of our CT awareness surveys to recommend a plan that fits the regulations and roles in Kuwait education. The survey derived from the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework; It investigated CT awareness of content knowledge (knowledge of CT concepts), pedagogical knowledge (knowledge of CT purposes, values, and aims), and technological knowledge (knowledge of the technologies and resources that support CT

Spring2020 was certainly not the semester we had planned due to disruptions from COVID-19, we areoverall quite pleased with this initial offering of the course.What worked well?First and foremost, we should acknowledge we had a small and highly engaged group of 18students enrolled in this course. During the first weeks of the semester, students were able tobuild a strong bond with each other and the instructor. This served as an excellent foundationwhen we transitioned to emergency remote teaching (ERT) roughly halfway through thesemester. We capitalized on the opportunity to explore students’ response to COVID and ERTas well as their response to the course itself [1].One lesson we took from our research into CSPs was the importance of connecting

Assessment Straightforward: A Case Study on the Successful Implementation of ABET Student Outcomes 1-7AbstractIn recent years, many engineering programs have begun planning for the change from the previousABET Student Outcomes (a)-(k) to the current ABET Student Outcomes 1-7. In addition, due tothe current COVID-19 pandemic, many of these programs will participate in a virtual ABETreview and site visit. Depending on the success of these virtual visits, the author theorizes thatfuture ABET accreditation reviews may continue to be remote, given the accessibility of videoconferencing tools and the various savings manifested in costs, time, and environmental impactsfrom reviewers not needing to travel to the institutions.Despite

How effectively students applied these tools and processes was then assessed by panels ofindustry and faculty judges at three team design review events throughout the course.To ascertain the effectiveness of the teachings and enable continuous improvement to thecurriculum, we examined student survey responses, quantitative scoring and comments by judgesduring team design reviews, and student teams’ performance in their respective competitions. Inaddition, we incorporated feedback from experts in the aerospace field in response to courseteachings and outcomes.Finally, this paper outlines future plans for scaling the curriculum to a full hands-on, lab-basedexperiential learning

And yet, the professionalformation of engineers is largely reliant on faculty to enhance course-specific and broaderdevelopmental outcomes. We know that “high-quality teaching is essential to retain qualifiedengineering students” [3] and decades of effort have resulted in many evidence-based approachesfor achieving these technical and broader developmental outcomes; still, these approaches oftenremain unused. Recently, research has been conducted to try to understand characteristics ofpedagogical innovations and dissemination plans that lead to adoption of new practices amongfaculty (Table 1
