entries, we learned that it is a best practice inBE to communicate their design activities and results in a written form for continual analysis anderror tracing. The BE-G1 used the technical journal to determine their mistakes; they wrote: “To move forward, we need to locate the DNA sample, determine where we went wrong, and move forward from that step. Look through DNA samples and our lab notebook to see where things may have been mixed up.” – BE-G1’s entry 12Unlike BE, MAE groups engaged in design communication activities because they have tocommunicate their design to the other team members, the instructor, various experts, and theclient. These needs are apparent in their eJ entries, course syllabus, and the groups

The class is taught in an active-learning, technology-enriched classroom.Throughout the semester, students work closely in small groups to discuss a variety of readings,videos, and learning tools, ranging from the writings of Paulo Freire to the PBS documentary“Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century.” As deliverables for the course, each studentcreates a learner-centered syllabus for a course in their discipline, a teaching philosophystatement inspired by their own values and experiences, and a problem-based learning project.After each session, students blog and tweet about the readings, individual assignments

general education as courses in non-engineering areasthat are required to develop complete professionals. The courses are taught like any other courses and not targetedto develop lifelong learning skills. We attempted a different approach and defined liberal learning as “self-learningin self-chosen (non-engineering) areas with self-defined scope”. Our program goals were to inculcate lifelonglearning beyond engineering and help students appreciate the interplay between engineering and other disciplines.We included the lifelong learning, due to the criticality of that competency for today’s engineering graduates. Ourprogram did not define syllabus, did not identify text or reference books, and did not conduct classroom lecturesand regular

An email introducing and containing a link to the online survey wassent to all students during the final days of the course. Response rates were extremely low (≈7%) due to the timing of the survey and lack of in-class announcements. However, the fewresults that were obtained demonstrated that students would identify others outside of their teamsand even their sections, through use of the free-response questions.The final version of the survey consisted of a cover letter describing the purpose of the researchand data collection, a prompt asking the students to indicate all

Elements of the EFF Standard Incorporated into the New Teaching Model All of the elements shown in Figure 1 are equally important. However, in a graduate class,it might not be plausible to incorporate all of these elements mentioned in Figure 1 withoutcompromising the technical rigor that is usually associated with the graduate course. Theexpectations behind the technical rigor of a graduate class might be the reason why students-centered learning has not, for the most part, reached graduate schools yet. And

Each team of 4 students will beassigned a case study to discuss, collect data on, and analyze by conducting what-if analysis.Since our engineering course will be an elective course, it may attract predominantly URM andwomen students because of this case-study focus. Our desire to incorporate state-of-the-art toolsmay also facilitate the
