.4Approaches used to facilitate transfer of learning include the use of reflective writings,contextualization of learning experiences, and application of learning to real life.4 To make transferof learning explicit to students, instructors advise students to take courses in the appropriatesequence, emphasize in each course the material transferable to other courses, model transfer byinviting guest lecturers, develop students’ metacognitive skills, and reinforce concepts by usingthem often and in different contexts. However, regardless of the strategies used, transfer of learningdoes not occur automatically. Curriculum and course design should emphasize the connectionbetween courses to stimulate transfer.The primary strategy used at our institution to

The assessment instruments are modified by changing thequestions to reflect the student’s use of OWLS according to the recommendations by Jones14 inorder to test specifically how use of the OWLS by engineering students impacts their motivationlevels. The questions based on the MUSIC model are being used in the spring 2015 assessments. Quantitative data and analysis (discussed later in the Data Analysis section) results instatistics that provide insights and answers to the research questions in this study. However

Based in variation theory, phenomenographic studies result in the keycomponents that comprise the variation under investigation 25,30,31. These categories ofdescription “contain a variety of conceptions and thus indicate that there are differences in theways a phenomenon is understood” 32 and may be depicted as a taxonomy or hierarchy ofunderstanding. The categories of description do not represent the individual responses fromparticipants, but instead collectively reflect

Schuster1). Precollege characteristics - like high school grade pointaverages - as well as university entrance exams have, in general, turned out to be usefulpredictors of student retention.A prior investigation of the drop-out probability at the engineering department of ouruniversity (Andreeva-Moschen2) clearly showed that the university entry scores can be usedto identify groups of students at higher risk of failure. It also turned out that the probabilitydistribution for student drop-out depends on the type of high school the students graduatedfrom, namely secondary colleges of engineering or traditional high schools. Interestingly, theuniversity entry score distribution does not reflect any differences in this respect, which might

Inpresenting these findings we distinguish between researchers and instructors, but note that mostengineering educators perform some combination of the two roles. Additionally, we note thatmany of these lessons refer to commonly held intuitions about the interactions of research andpractice in education. We seek here to surface and further develop these intuitions intoproductive public discourse.1. We need to attend to the differences in

Compared to the othergroups, AfA were less influenced by influence from others but had a higher level of influencefrom pre-college activities. The relatively high influence from interest in STEM as well as pre-college activities is mostlikely explained by the fact that many of the African American students in our sample went toSTEM focused high schools and were recruited specifically from them. Our data reflect thispotential explanation, as AfA were relatively more influenced by recruitment and financialavailability (scholarships) compared to their peers. The finding that exposure to STEM classesmotivated these AfA students to

Although thisserves as a good hands on experiment to test the principles of resistance, it often leaves studentswith very few possible combinations to build in the lab, and does not reflect the innatecomplexity of even the most basic of modern circuits. Moreover, typically students aredisconnected from the theory when using rudimentary laboratory equipment to make fairlysimple measurements.

In engineering education, this skill is linked to the fulfillment of multiple studentoutcomes, particularly those related to problem solving, design, communication, andprofessionalism18. Feedback provides a means for thinking deeply about someone else’s work,reflecting on one’s own work, and receiving and interpreting criticism. Although an ability toprovide high quality feedback is an important skill in engineering, it is lacking amongengineering professionals19, professors20, researchers17, and students21. There is
