Our findings highlighted the need to develop activitiesthat cultivate students‟ judgement, facilitate peer feedback, promote learner independence,and reinforce development of their professional engineering identity.Our aim is to promote a learning focus as opposed to a task-focused disposition in students.A student‟s core identity may be such that they resist this change in focus limiting theirengagement with these activities. We found scaffolding to be valuable to motivate desiredapproaches, behavior and attitudes to learning.For example, we constantly remind studentsthat “mistakes compress

modelis a model-of a situation that is familiar to the students. By a process of generalizing andformalizing, the model eventually becomes an entity on its own. It becomes possible to use it asa model-for mathematical reasoning.Finally, the RME guided reinvention principle is adopted and used as a part of methodology.According to RME instructional design theory, the teacher provides guidance, playing a‘proactive role’ within the classroom setting. This study allows every student to decide whetherand to what extent s/he needs guidance which in turn is provided in the specially designedguiding-reflecting journal.Participants and MethodsTen students from Vancouver Templeton Secondary School ranging in age from 17 to 18 years,5 males and 5 females

In a 45-minute session, small groups ofstudents are presented with a complex, real-world scenario that includes multi- faceted,multidisciplinary engineering issues. They are then asked to determine the most importantproblem/s and to discuss stakeholders, impacts, unknowns, and possible solutions. The EPSRubric, an analytic rubric, was developed to measure the extent to which

The categories and codes are being refined iteratively using both inductive anddeductive approaches, which allow us to leverage our prior knowledge of the domain of interestas well as our growing familiarity with the collected data. The current categories include: • National Cultures Involved: Including host location and culture, and guest culture(s). • Situation-Motivation: The main reason or motivation for the situation or case, such as ex- patriate assignment, greenfield plant start-up, cross-national collaborative project, etc. • Situation-Cultural Dimensions: Relevant cultural dimensions evident in the case, such as those drawn from Hofstede’s work (e.g., power distance, individualism vs
to examine the how the engineering profession has tackled the challenge ofimproving international mobilization and standards of professional engineers and engineeringservices they provide. This is often a challenge for multi-national companies andorganizations that operate trans-nationally. Future engineers will need to rethink theirlearning journey and pathways to professional recognition to be better prepared to tackle amore regionalized, integrated, and dynamic world1. Anecdotally, it appears that there is agrowing population of engineers seeking Chartered status with Engineers Australia. Therehas been recent development in support programs such as the Engineering EducationAustralia (EEA)’s Graduate Program in Engineering (GPE) to

Over the past two years, it has been designing and implementing a comprehensive set of curricular innovations in order to better prepare local engineering undergraduates for engineering studies and careers in the energy sector. Three components of this comprehensive approach will be presented in this paper, with reference to how each was conceived, designed, and implemented. Early indications of the impacts are also shared. The paper will conclude with identifications of challenges faced and recommendations for how to better enable and support continuing enhancement of the

Further, this lab program has been motivated by the need to increase the focus ondeveloping students’ competencies and professional skills/soft skills. In recent years, globalcompetency has been introduced as an important “soft” skill2,3 that engineering graduates shouldacquire along the training through a standard engineering curriculum. This trend and suggestionsfor attempting to standardize the “criteria for global competence” of engineering graduates are
to understand how fruitful this way of learning is andthat it is a great chance to develop competences during their own process of learning: TEACHER`S LEARNING BIOGRAPHY = HIS STYLE OF ENGINEERING EDUCATIONFollowing this simple awareness, the Education Staff for Engineering Education must betrained with the same (competence-oriented) methods as it is fruitful for the students. Thatmeans in fact: Looking to the idea of HAVIGHURST about principle of task-oriented learning[4], the curricula of Enginnering Education for the training staff must be dominated by PBE-oriented Development-tasks a core elements (Modules) of the curriculum-structure..Short Explanation: From PBL to PBEPBE as a further development of PBLProject Based Learning (PBL

This paper discusses these partnerships, advantages andchallenges for the future in Australia and how the partnership flows into a global market.IntroductionIn the early part of this decade, engineering accreditation bodies worldwide reviewed theirnational guidelines for engineering education to consider restructuring them such that theycould determine whether universities were actually delivering graduates ready foremployment and, more importantly, able to cope with the future requirements of theprofession. These reviews resulted in a refocusing of the engineering curriculum to outcomesrather than process. The UK‟s Royal Academy of

The strategic plan went on to say that, “As science and1engineering (S&E) expertise and infrastructure advance across the globe, it is expected that theUnited States will increasingly benefit from international collaborations and a globally engagedworkforce leading to transformational S&E breakthroughs.”6 The 2010 Globalization of Scienceand Engineering Research report further highlights how the data show a global recognition ofthe need to move towards knowledge intensive economies and the important role that scienceand technology plays in “generating new jobs, economic prosperity, responses to national issuesand/or global challenges, and global competitiveness”7The importance of placing

A 40 year history of demographics and student attitudes charted in The Higher EducationResearch Institute snapshot of entering freshman classes shows a rising tide of interest in serviceduring college. In 1990 the survey found that 16.9% of students thought there was a very goodchance s/he would participate in community service or volunteer work. In 2006, this proportion Page 21.5.3grew to 26.8% and in 2011, 33.9% [8, 9]. It is clear that the orientation towards service is beingrapidly embraced by all students. Service may also be a link to attracting more students
