The engineering instructor learns to identifyproblems that will provide students with the necessary skills to be successful in their course.For years, chapter-end problems and solution manuals have provided instructors a helpful tool forassigning and assessing students work as part of this learning process.

]ducation must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience… the process andgoal of education are one and the same thing” [10] . Kolb states that learning is best supportedwhen students are engaged in a process that draws their beliefs and ideas about a topic so thatthey can be examined, tested, and integrated with new and more refined ideas [11]. Kolbdescribes learning as a four-stage process: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstractconceptualization and active experimentation. He contents that immediate experience is the basisfor observation and reflection, which is assimilated to abstract concepts, where new ideas andactions can be generated [12].The Skope applications leverage affordances of AR and VR technologies to

This approach was successfully used in a senior-level course on digitalcommunications [11]. The accountability requires student reflection to provide a productivelearning experience when the students meet in a group setting. The professor can then randomlyselect or solicit a student volunteer to lead the discussion.The F2F learning is a more expensive mode of communication when compared to onlinecommunication.

However, when executing an experiment, students have to carry out many taskswithin a set limited time, leaving no time for reflection [23], [31]. One method to overcome thislimitation is to prepare students conceptually through pre-labs before they attend the laboratory.Thus, pre-labs should focus on theory in addition to procedure by explaining the related theory,connecting theory to procedural steps, providing a rational for each step, and explaining what

To some extent, at least in the U.S.context, entrepreneurship seemed to be becoming the frontier that had previously been occupiedby the space program.These hypotheses are supported by further evidence that 2009-2010 saw the emergence of whatmight be called the “cult of the entrepreneur,” a phenomenon in which entrepreneurship andentrepreneurs are viewed not only as the leading figures in business innovation, but also as Deleted

This allowsparticipant experiences, in the specified domain (e.g., makerspaces, making activities), to beunderstood through the context of their lives and allows meaning to be distilled from experience[23].

The intent ofmentoring is that mentees, in our case the engineering student, arrive at their own solutionsthrough a process of reflection facilitated by their mentor.In designing the mentoring trial, we used a five-factor mentoring framework, drawing on theeducation literature. 1. The first factor is building rapport. Rapport is at the heart of mentoring [18]. Rapport is when the student and their industry partner feel comfortable communicating. Mentors and students can build rapport by learning a little about the other; mentors can encourage rapport by being attentive to body language and adopting a

As people have emigrated from all parts of the world,cultural groups are represented in much different percentages than 10 years ago. Over the lastcentury much of the diversity evident in the early 1900’s has assimilated into what is referred toas a melting pot, constantly changing. However, universities do not reflect the type and level ofdiversity of the current population[2, 3].
