Studentsworked together in pairs to modify the traffic-simulation model. All the teams were able tosuccessfully run models and report the traffic performance measures before and after removingthe lane. Few teams had begun to write down the transportation performance measures before thesimulation period was complete, and thus a fair comparison of the two

a society where science, engineering, and technology permeateall aspects of our lives. While aspects of technology and engineering have appeared in some K-12 science classrooms and, to a limited extent, in prior national science standards, the NGSSpresent a true integration of science, engineering and technology (Sneider and Purzer, 2014).This is a new approach to teaching science that will require new curriculum materials,professional development and other supports for teachers, and new assessments (Penuel, Harris,& DeBarger, 2015). Teachers who are generalists as well as those certified in science typically have very littleknowledge of and experience with engineering content or practices (Cunningham, 2009; Custer& Daugherty
that was meant to be passed onto younger generations of Americans. Yet, despite its decades-old practice and the burgeoning body of literature on bestpractices for it, research detailing just how common the service-learning pedagogy is in the K-12landscape is scarce. Furthermore, a literature search reveals that the contexts in which service-learning curricula are integrated are few and typically a component of staple subjects likeEnglish Language Arts, history/social studies, and science. However, recent efforts to improveK-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum, like the NGSS’s three-dimensional philosophy of core ideas, cross-cutting concepts, and science and engineeringpractices, signifies a new canopy of
promoted the assistance of veterans for attainingcareers in engineering so they can participate to the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) workforce for the benefit of society [5]. Most student veterans aresupported by the Post-9/11 GI Bill for collegiate education as they work to help them transitioninto civilian careers. This is a large college student demographic in the United States receivingsubstantial educational assistance benefits from the federal government. In 2015, 790,507veterans received almost $12 billion for their education [6]. We focus on veterans enrolled inonline master’s degree engineering programs. Traditional “brick and mortar” engineeringschools are more likely to offer online master’s engineering

questions twice per semester to gather qualitative data on their feelings of self-efficacy, task value, and mindset. In the memos, students were asked to write about theirthoughts, feelings, and emotions about the course, how they felt the course was preparing themfor future engineering courses, and whether their experiences in the class related to life outside ofthe classroom. They were also asked to provide feedback on which class and homeworkactivities they found most and least helpful, and which assignments helped them understand thematerial better.The two engineering faculty participated in the Institute and worked with faculty developers andinstructional technology specialists throughout the process of redesigning the course, yet theywere
exercises inengineering education laboratories has evolved over the years with technology, but thelaboratory remains one of the most important places where students learn not only technicalskills, but also how to work with people, how to present data properly, and how to developstrategies to accomplish a shared goal. Feisel and Rosa [7] indicate that the objectives oflaboratory exercises are not clearly defined in many cases, but they outline 13 broadly applicableobjectives that may be applied to almost all engineering education laboratories. Their 11thobjective is in the area of teamwork where they suggest that engineering laboratories shouldteach students to “work effectively in teams including structure individual and jointaccountability, assign
level,important aspects of cognitively-guided instruction approach (CGI)4,5 as well as related theories oflearning progressions at the elementary school level, in that it focuses on building coherence of studentthinking at both a stepwise and large structure level by drawing the instructor into a more finely grainedinvolvement in process. It represents an advance over CGI in its reliance on diverse technologies, and ofcourse the target population differs. Vast amount of literature indicates that student engagement in classrooms has strong correlation totheir academic and professional success1-6. Student engagement in engineering classrooms is a challengebecause of several reasons, including lack of preparation, self-efficacy, perceived

, knowledge of changes in student attitudes were sought as a response to a coursedeveloped for first year engineering (FYE) majors [12]. This course, Engineering and Society,contains elements that are common among FYE courses such as the study of engineeringdisciplines, ethics, and a team-based design project, yet it uniquely focuses on the connectionsamong engineering/technology and society and the development of technology within a societalcontext. This allows us to integrate ethics and the engineering design experience with thetechnology and society content, which provides a platform for analyzing current technologicalsystems and exposes students to the breadth and diversity of engineering.
