Furthermore, from this it can also be inferred that K-12 engineeringcurriculum might include lesson plans with pertinent information from these top fields. The social network analysis results reveal that there is a high trend of collaboration betweenauthors in the K-12 EngER community. Krause, S. was found to be the most collaborative author— whoalso had a significant position as a bridge for communication for other authors in this field in addition toRoberts, C. The fact that the two most collaborative authors are connected is a good sign; however, morecollaboration could greatly improve the field as a whole. Overall, more work needs to be done in thisfield in order to make

settings. In particular, the value of thelearning tasks and their connections to any related courses should be explicitly stated.Additionally, TAs can help motivate student in laboratories by asking more open-endedquestions and providing more opportunities for self-direction.3.4.1 Provide opportunities for students to self-direct When TAs plan laboratories, it is preferable to provide opportunities for students to self-direct. Having to constantly ask for permission to proceed with laboratory procedures or requestmaterials undermines students’ sense of autonomy and competence. Providing clear instructions,and facilitating an effective introduction to the laboratory should help minimize students’dependence on the TA and still maintain safety

Within each category the attending faculty ranked the topics in order ofimportance and the highest ranked topics were identified as the course components that shouldbe covered regardless of the mode of delivery. Approximately 1/3 of the course content wasgiven to each category. The members discussed the various lessons and methodologies used inclass to cover the components and developed a topical outline for every day of the course.Stage 2: Lecture Design and Delivery StrategiesA smaller group of faculty members met a few weeks later to plan the course for online delivery.The course

The role of team leaders was assigning a task to each team member,clarifying the procedures of each task, solving problems, and providing a weekly progress reportto the project manager, the instructor. The tasks are based on Software Development Life-Cycle(SDLC) phases. These phases are planning, implementation, testing, documenting, Deployment,and maintenance.

developments in inexpensivecomputing power and internet communication, with the increasing number of online academicprograms, have prompted the need of laboratory teaching.1Laboratory teaching is the primary method of developing skills and competencies forengineering and/or engineering technology students, ensuring a close fit for the industryrequirements. The set of skills and knowledge acquired by an engineering graduate has to meetthe industry requirements of a global economy. Thus, the laboratory has become an essentialcomponent in all engineering programs.2To determine if the set of skills and competencies required by the industry are properlyaddressed, an assessment plan is generally adopted by engineering/engineering technologydepartments

Students who had already been working on concepts fortheir design task tended to limit their exploration to transformations of ideas they had alreadygenerated.Students also commented that the Design Heuristics made them more aware of the aspects of aconcept they should consider or could change. Participant B2 said “It made me think more aboutfeatures of the design, rather than being so stuck on the task.” Thus, students used the heuristicsto inspire novel ideas for the task, but also used the heuristics to transform planned productcomponents.

Rating descriptors that are now available were developedthrough intense interaction between field expert professors that continued until all were satisfiedwith the definitions.The rubric scores were designed and corroborated to be more descriptive of learner cognitionthan a single grade or score and hence more useful in future formative interventions. We aim totake these results into consideration when designing learning experience and assessment forfuture classes. Also we plan to modify this rubric using the same dimensions for other coursesfor which the dimensions adequately describe cognition. Page 25.441.15
