These skillsets map back tocompetencies outlined in the ARTBA certification exam blueprint and reveal that some topicsgain more emphasis at the degree level than others.The authors utilize survey results to develop recommendations on how professional certificationsin general can be used by education providers as “industry benchmarks” to drive curriculumdevelopment.

. 1 compares the overall (over the four topics included in the experiment) average percentagescore of the control and experimental groups. As seen from the figure, the experimental (KACIE)group average was 10 points higher than that of the control group (59 compared to 49 percent).To verify that this difference is a reliable, the t-test was performed assuming two-taileddistribution with unequal variance samples. The p-value was found to be 0.002 which is less thanthe typical alpha threshold of 0.05 indicating that the difference is reflective of the impact of theKACIE intervention. For additional insight the averages for each individual topic werecompared in the same figure. With a difference of 26 and 18 percentage points for the

Making our students more aware of what will be faced in industry was a motivationto modify this course project to reflect the company setting when designing a lightweight utilityfighter. The ICE Workshop was a three day, hands-on workshop addressing active and collaboratelearning (ACL) as well as problem/project based learning (PBL) [2]. The workshop, run byLawrence Technological University and sponsored by KEEN, helped faculty understand thefundamental pedagogical techniques of EML, ACL and PBL.

The highest concentration of gradesfor distance students was at the ‘C’ grade, with over 10% of distance students in the D/F/Wcategory. In contrast, no on-campus students finished in the D/F/W range and over 80% finishedin the ‘A’ or ‘B’ ranges. With the exception of the semester project, the average grade forcampus students was higher in each of the grading categories than for distance students(homework, exams, final exam). The difference was smallest on the final exam (72.9% vs.72.5%) and largest in the homework category (108.1% vs. 91.4%). The greater than 100%average on homework for campus students reflects

At the end of the second-semester, the Capstone Design course finishes with a whole-day open house event featuring team presentations, a poster session, and review session with panel judges. The audience is fellow students, faculty, external sponsors, and a panel of judges mostly comprised of the Mechanical Engineering Advisory Council (MEAC) members.Throughout the school year, the EDM and SDP classes are required to interact thus encouragingexchange of experiences, self-reflection, and

Our software acquisitionsmust compliment the curriculum, integrate with the technical capacity of the institution, andprovide sufficient challenge to students, all the while reflecting current industry standards. Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria. However, the end users of the software systems may not necessarily be familiar with theoverall decision-making criteria. To address this

In contrast to the study described in [6], wedifferentiated between two dimensions of engagement – behavioral and emotional – andseparately explored the levels of engagement in each dimension. We also used a differenttimeframe; rather than considering a single class period, we asked students to reflect on theirengagement across the entire semester. These differences allowed us to develop a comprehensivepicture of student engagement profiles, which we hope will be useful for electrical engineeringinstructors. Specifically, knowledge of students’ engagement profiles may help instructors tounderstand the various ways students engage in a course. This knowledge may also help informinstruction and course management

Several institutions found that amixed-mode approach which balances active learning and passive learning is best for teachingstudents, especially in early stages of development [4]. Thus, in order to teach STEM topics toall students, supplementary teaching tools should be utilized.There are some assignable causes linked to the lack of engagement and success in STEMclassrooms. Many times teachers themselves do not have adequate training to teach STEMtopics. This problem was illustrated in a study done in 2007 that revealed the United Statesranked 41 out

?Preliminary findings suggest students’ interpretation of items points to a discrepancy betweenresearcher and student meaning of engagement. Though the survey was intended to target in-class engagement, students often conflated their in- and out-of-class engagement behaviors.Moreover, students did not distinguish between language we intended to reflect different levelsof cognitive activity. As we continue to develop surveys surrounding engagement, this studygives useful insight into how we can interpret student responses and provide meaningfulfeedback to faculty. This is accomplished by understanding the ways in which researchers,faculty, and students talk about engagement differently, and how that might lead us towardsshared

Either the undergraduate student assistants were too helpful inexplaining the process and assisting the CIM students in operating the 3D printers, or the CIMstudents are already so proficient in using FFF 3D printers that the use of DLP 3D printers did notpresent a significant gain in their proficiency. In the future, this question will be changed to onlyaddress DLP 3D printers and the student assistants will be instructed to help only when asked bythe CIM students.Question 5 of the survey was purposefully written in a positively biased form.
