By comparing Figure 6(c) and the terms we highlight in Figure 6(a), we observe that thewords most frequently cited overall seem to approximately map to the POED most frequentlywritten about by individuals. We note the frequent use of the word ‘team,’ and the fact thatPOED 1, which deals with several issues pertinent to team formation, organization, andmanagement, both represent areas frequently explored by individuals in the LS. Similarly, weobserve that ‘concept(s)’ were extremely well represented in the writing samples. Those wordscould refer to

Sheppard et al. identify five key insights for rethinking the education of engineers:“Engineering work is inherently interactive and complex; Formulating problems and solvingproblems are interdependent activities; Engineering has many publics, Engineering incorporatesmany domains beyond the technical; Engineers affect the world.”8(p175) However, pockets ofinnovation suggest that transformation of engineering education is underway. In order tomeasure this transformation, it is important to benchmark the current practice, or 'signaturepedagogy', of engineering.Signature PedagogiesA signature pedagogy “organize[s] the fundamental ways in which future

Whenyou're a kid it ha[s] a great influence on you, because ... your dad just looked like an Einstein.”For Sean, being a good son was tied up in being a good teacher and a good engineer, as successin one indicates success in the others. He also drew on his experiences and identity as a non-native speaker when talking about his work teaching engineering, as demonstrated in thefollowing quote: “One of my students asked me, ‘Oh my god. I got a minus work, a negative work.’ ... Don't feel bad about the negative work…. This negative means that this is work out of your system, not into your system. For example, the pump work, and the rankine cycle is positive

“professional knowledge” as a type ofknowledge arising from engagement in reflection activities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s(2008) notion of accountable disciplinary knowledge. In other words, reflection activities canhelp students gain or advance their knowledge in relation to course learning objectives,knowledge and skills required for accreditation, etc. In talking with students to explore whetherthe reflection activity did result in professional knowledge, we might be interested in statementsfrom students such as: “I learned something relevant to the course objectives,” “I learnedsomething relevant to my degree,” and “I learned something related to getting a universitydegree.”Factor 2: Personal knowledgeReflection activities have the

Easeof use is the ease with which transactions can be performed using mobile payment methods.Mobile payments are completed in a relatively short time when compared to other forms ofpayment, hence the speed attribution, and the security of mobile payments is also a benefit thatmakes mobile payments adoption particularly advantageous [1][4][5]. The ease-of-use, speed,and efficiency of transaction processing are factors that boost merchant adoption as well [2].“The acceptance of mobile payment method[s] by merchant[s] especially small and mid-sizedbusiness[es] (SMBs) has risen tremendously…[to] 21% of

So, the class was ‘hired’ to makeinteractive exhibits that demonstrated how an 1870’s flour mill worked.It was a unique opportunity for the class, because they were able to interact with a client,including touring the space, creating prototypes, having the client request design changes, andfinally building the exhibit. Partnering with the students also helped the Historical Societyreceive two local community grants to support the exhibit. At the end of the semester, thedirector of the Historical Society reviewed the student projects and accepted 4 of the 5 projectsfor inclusion in the exhibit
