University of Evansville ss476@evansville.eduIntroductionA commonly accepted assessment instrument used for both diagnostic and formative purposes isthe concept inventory, which refers to any kind of research-based assessment technique thatmeasures conceptual understanding in a subject (1). The usage of concept inventory helps theinstructors to measure their teaching effectiveness and determines if

This paper augments the limited work that has been published regarding flippedclassrooms in heat transfer, addressing challenges faced by both the instructor and the students.IntroductionResearch in engineering education strongly supports the use of active learning strategies in theclassroom.1-5 However, introductory heat transfer courses are often taught using traditionallecture methodologies. Among the suggested pedagogical strategies for incorporating activelearning, flipped classrooms have received significant attention for engaging students

While the official coursedescription states that it consists of three weekly lectures with no laboratory components, theinstructor lectures twice a week while reserving the third class meeting for an active learning inclass project session where students implement the concepts they have learned about in the twolectures in that week.The student performance will be assessed via three different categories: 1. Weekly assignments: every week, students will be given homework problems pertaining to the lecture contents. In addition, students will have to implement a programming assignment during the third class meeting every week. Students will submit a weekly assignment including the solved

baccalaureate engineeringprogram must include âan ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiencesâ [1]. Therequirements for accrediting baccalaureate engineering technology programs assert that graduatestudents must have âan ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadlydefined technical and non-technical environmentsâ as well as âan ability to function effectively asa member and a leader on technical teamsâ [1]. Specifically, in aviation programs, according tothe Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), both baccalaureate and graduate degreesmust demonstrate that graduates are able to âwork effectively on multi-disciplinary and diverseteamsâ and âcommunicate effectively, using written and oral

These steps will help TheDepartment of Engineering Technology at SHSU get back on track with higher enrollment. Mr. F.Zakaria from Washington Post accurately stated, âThe pandemic has upended the present. But ithas given us a chance to remake the future.â Strategies AdoptedThe Department of Engineering Technology adopted some existing recruitment and outreachstrategies as discussed in literature. One such strategy is PLAN [1], which stands for Preparation,Location

These activities allowstudents to explore phenomena through âremoteâ labs (not simulations), project generation usinga supply of pre-existing materials (constraints that any project has at any time), and in particular,the development of projects based in easy to find at home materials.In this paper, the Author will present three strategies to promote STEM education throughremote learning: 1) Laboratory activities for college-level students 2) Hands-on activities forhigh-school students through informal education settings, and 3) Activities for the public at largethrough social media (Facebook liv and YouTube) and sponsored by public institutions.

Engineering and technology havealways had an important role in addressing the needs of society, it is now gaining recognition foraddressing societal problems. This is recognized and enhanced by an increased representation of womenespecially women of color. This change will result in a positive outcome by bringing more diverse waysof thinking and innovation to the classroom as well as companies that employ them.Literature shows that there are many different reasons for lower recruitment and retention rates forwomen in Engineering and Technology which include preconceived notions on the nature of work andgender stereotypes in these fields. Additionally, there is a lack of access to women role models

Learn how a university capstone-design class incorporated a Coordinate Measuring Machine to create a productive assignment integrating measurement and quality concepts. 2. Demonstrate how the class linked measurement and quality to the overall product lifecycle process for a supplier and an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). 3.

Also, introducing descriptive digital tags intoassessment material is a useful method to effectively organize and analyze both group andindividual student performance information for such visualizations.We added digital tags to create tag-organized assessments for an undergraduate bioengineeringcourse. The assessments prompted students to self-evaluate after each question. When studentswere weekly presented with tag-enhanced OLMs, one visualizing their calibration and other theirrelative performance to class, there was an overall improvement in calibration accuracy movingfrom Exam 1 to Exam 3, both for low and high performers.Keywords: Calibration

According to the 2009 report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress[1], the proportion of students who are proficient in Science drops from 32% in 4th grade to 21%in 12th grade, leading to a lesser than desired proportion of students planning to pursue STEMmajors in college. This number further dwindles

These courses place students in teams with anassigned project that simulates working in an industrial setting; fulfills the ABETrequirement of working in a technical team;1-3 and is an intentional contrast to thelectures, homework and tests which the typical student has experienced over theprevious three years. Assessment of the individual student on a technical team ischallenging when submitted content is a team effort.4 Some students in these teamsbecome âhitchhikersâ5 or âfree ridersâ6 and cause other team members to resent workingwith these individuals. Peer evaluation or rating is one way that instructors gain insightinto the team dynamics that may identify âhitchhikersâ or âfree riders.â Adjustingindividual
product.To implement the peer mentorship model applied in this study, junior and senior levelengineering students were hired to serve as peer mentors. They were each assigned 1-2freshman design groups, and expected to meet with these students 3-4 times throughout thesemester. Each peer mentor met in-person with their groups, but this could likely be conductedover video conferencing. For convenience, they were encouraged to meet with their groupsbefore each milestone was due to serve as technical and project management mentors. Peermentors were expected to review project documentation, design process progress, and be aresource for the completion of the project. At the beginning of the semester, a short, 1 hourmeeting was held between peer mentors and

IntroductionInternet of Things (IoT) [5] technology has been widely used in industries, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, field mobility, distribution, and transportation logistics. Data communication andnetworking is a core course for the Computer Engineering Technology (CPET) program in ourschool. The course introduces the networking layered model and covers technology at each layerin a bottom-up approach. Teaching latest technologies of data communication and networkingwith hands-on experience is critical to the CPET curriculum.
