One such study is from Krupczakand Green who described what non-engineers were interested in learning about within atechnological literacy course15. Students frequently mentioned wanting to gain practicalinformation to help consumers and users of technology, such as understanding what to do whentechnology breaks down. Understanding the actual thinking processes of scientists or engineersdid not come up. However, some educators do emphasize the need to make engineeringeducation more flexible so that non-engineering majors who want more technical backgroundhave a means for getting

Critical thinking can be incorporated into engineering classes in a variety of waysincluding writing assignments, active learning strategies, project-based design experiences, andcourse redesign. Clearly, accurately and consistently assessing critical thinking acrossengineering courses is challenging. In 2007 the University of Louisville selected the Paul-Eldercritical thinking framework for use in all undergraduate courses. However, few

Incorporation of Bloom’s taxonomy and amodification of the Kolb Learning Cycle were necessary to show alignment with ABET criteria.The 2006 ABET Criteria marked a decisive change in the direction of engineering education.While earlier calls for change were in the form of recommendations, the ABET criteriarepresented a requirement for continued accreditation. This joined with the specific talents andrecognition engineer educators bring to the incorporation of cognitive science in the classroomand the relative newness of the subject matter, make this a productive area of study.The purpose of this study is to synthesize, through a meta-analysis study

A closerexamination reveals that the pathways chosen by engineering students differ greatly. Xie andShauman8 have published the most comprehensive research on Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) student pathways to date. They studied STEM pathways (andparticularly gender differences in those pathways) from early qualification and expression ofinterest in college study through pursuit of college study, persistence to graduation, pursuit of acareer, and career persistence. An early MIDFIELD model (figure 1) hypothesized some criticaltransitions in the engineering pathway, but this model was too simplistic to represent

Thus, a major deliverable of the project is a transferable system with which other engineering programs could monitor their own instructional environment and develop and test their own educational innovations. 3.

The CPI served as theframework for developing an assessment instrument with measurable outcomes that enablescoring, as well as placing the student at the appropriate level within the taxonomy. Further, asample laboratory assignment is presented to demonstrate the positive impact of hands-onexperiences on the student’s conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
