The primary research question was: What are the learningpreferences for college students taking a fundamental engineering design graphics courses? As afollow-up question to the primary question the investigators explored: Do students taking acollege engineering design course and categorized as “at-risk” have different learningpreferences than students categorized as “not at-risk?” The primary research question wasinvestigated and analyzed through frequency-based ordinal data pertaining to student learnerpreference(s). The second research question was evaluated through data analyzed

In general, students were able to use the buildingblocks for creating a game. Some students showed strong interests in control structures.

of listening to community members, and for instructionalpurposes offers numerous case studies and poses many reflection and discussion questions.Mihelcic et al.’s Field Guide to Environmental Engineering for Development Workers: Water,Sanitation, and Indoor Air similarly emphasizes community participation.9 Yet it is somewhatmore specifically scoped as an environmental engineering field guide, with extensive technicaldiscussion of appropriate technologies for water supply and treatment, latrine building,sanitation, etc. The design firm IDEO, on the other hand, has developed a Human CenteredDesign Toolkit, which is organized around processes, methods, and tools that can be used toidentify problems and design solutions for communities in need
of institutions each having common FYEPs. Having acommon FYEP means that, all engineering students take the same introductory engineeringcourse(s). Common FYEPs were chosen because they are not discipline specific which providescontinuity across institutions and because they tend to focus on common topics such asteamwork, communication, graphing, problem solving, etc.For this analysis, we draw on five semi-structured interviews, each from a different institution, toprovide a broad picture of GTAs’ views on teaching competence. While this is a small sample,we believe that the interviews chosen are a strong representation of the experiences of GTAs andtherefore our qualitative analysis yields rich, meaningful and impactful results.
