reform effort risks being undermined by the curricular and cultural practices thatpervasively shape student experience and outcomes and drive away too many could-be engineerswith diverse interests, aptitudes, lived experiences, and values.PDI’s response to the bait-and-switch problem employs design-oriented logics of engagement inparallel with the fundamentals-first approach, which provides a partial corrective to the logic ofexclusion. This configuration offers educators new avenues for thinking about explicit andimplicit connections between the design-centric emphasis in K-12 and the content-driven modelof fundamentals first. Moving forward, we hope to conduct empirical research using participantobservation and interviews to compare students

For example, digital logic, electric-circuit behavior, and heat transfer all play a role in de-signing computer chips. Does our engineering curriculum prepare our graduates to deal withsuch complexity?The authors suggest that the current approach to the engineering curriculum is out of step withthe current practice of engineering. A modification to the early engineering science courses, andpossibly the first-year science and mathematics courses, would serve to change the students’ ap-proach toward problem solving and better prepare them to apply what they learn to

This can be motivational for the instructor by giving them a priori a degree of confidence that the changes they are considering will have benefit, as opposed to just hoping for the best.3.

The rest of the materials consisted of PVC pipe and hardware fittings whichwere purchased at a local hardware store. Since the group was uncertain of the type of sand that could be obtained in Uganda, theyinvestigated the impact of different sands on filter performance. They looked for types of sandthat might be commonly available for different construction needs, and thus would be availablein the developing world. Specifically, they obtained a fine “mortar sand” as well as an “all-purpose concrete sand” from a

Therehas been a tremendous amount of work on best practices for instruction in college courses, andresearchers have identified the value of formative assessments to help students and instructorsidentify strengths and weaknesses and adjust instruction. We add to this discussion byundertaking a psychometric analysis of classroom tests. In particular, we will focus on themeasurement precision when tests are analyzed using Item Response Theory (IRT), a non-linearlatent variable model that evaluates the student’s probability of responding to items correctlyconditional on ability level. A useful byproduct of IRT analysis is that measurement uncertaintyis quantified conditional on ability level, and it often reveals that

Unfortunately, however, item creation sometimes becomes overly dependentupon a researcher’s personal attitudes about the construct(s) being tested, or on “borrowing”items from other instruments that may or may not be sound measures of the construct(s) ofinterest.
