thedevelopment of the students’ English language skills. To further develop these skills, it wasdecided to select students who did not speak Mandarin as the undergraduate laboratoryteaching assistants. As the course instructor and the lead electronic laboratory staff memberalso did not speak Mandarin, students would have to speak English during the lecture andlaboratory sessions. An invitation was also issued to the English specialist in StudentLearning Services who supports the School of Engineering to talk with the students abouttechniques for writing and making oral presentations during one of the lectures early in thesecond week of the OIP.The undergraduate laboratory teaching assistants also attended the tours with the GCU andUESTC students and

reformation in general, and to the use of modern pedagogicalskills in particular. The paper also argues that any meaningful change in Region’s classroompractices today (dominated by traditional lecture-based methods) must be mandated andsupported by the university administration. What is necessary to create a change, is for thedepartment or college, to have a comprehensive and integrated set of components: clearlyarticulated expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and anequitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies ofengagement. The theme advocated here is that

using qualitative and quantitative questions. Results indicate thatfaculty found the workshop useful and were motivated to improve their own teaching and pursueengineering education research. The first-year course was implemented for the first time in the fall 2015semester with an enrollment of approximately 500 engineering students. Student learning and motivationin the course were assessed using qualitative and quantitative survey questions. Course implementationand assessment are ongoing at the time of this submittal but results will be included in the finalpresentation.1. Introduction Poor retention rates within engineering are often due to a lack of competence of students as theyreach sophomore classes, poor instruction, a lack of a

, served on the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET for five years, and currently is on the ETAC Executive Committee. His research interests include engineering education, machining, and effective teaching, especially of en- gineering mechanics. Before joining ASU, he was at North Dakota State University, where he was a faculty member in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering department after leading the develop- ment of a new academic program that merged with the Industrial Engineering Department. Before coming to academia, he was a design engineer, maintenance supervisor, and plant engineer. He is a registered pro- fessional engineer.Ms. Huong Huu Diem Nguyen, Arizona State University

teaching and learning for engineering faculty. In his research Dominik May focuses, inter alia, on future requirements for science and engineering graduates, such as interna- tional competence, in order to become successful engineers in a globalized professional world. Therefore he designs and investigates respective educational strategies with a special focus on online solutions and the integration of remote laboratories. For his research and the development of several transnational on- line courses he benefits from his working experience in international companies and a broad international professional network. Furthermore Dominik May is founding member of both the Engineering Education Research Group at the Center

an A-Level is achieved in different parts of the UK. The Fulbright Commission points this out, sayingof admissions considerations, “The most competitive universities will expect to see three A-Levels or their equivalent. This could include a minimum of three Scottish Highers, A-Levelsalongside the Welsh Baccalaureate, the IB.”2In order for this mechanism to be meaningful, there must be consistency in the teaching of, andawarding of, A-Levels across the schools of the UK. Consistency is supposed to be controlledby the OFfice of STandards in EDucation (OFSTED).3 OFSTED inspects and assesses publicschools. They generally give a school a 24 hour notice before descending on the facility andinvading its classrooms, laboratories, and offices. Such

ABET’s Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) is explicitly linked to acquiring a global skill set, by teaching the “broadeducation necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global economic,environmental, and societal context”. Similarly, ABET’s Technology Accreditation Commission(ETAC) requires “a respect for diversity and a knowledge of contemporary professional, societaland global issues”4. The EAC and ETAC’s student learning outcomes based on the criterion ofglobal competency are that the students:a) “will demonstrate substantial knowledge [or factual understanding] of the similarities and differences among engineers and
