Results from that summer workshop indicate a range of approaches fornew engineering pathways for pre-service teacher preparation will be required to reflect theparticular culture of the universities. Potential approaches identified include:• The use of a minor in STEM education to complement an existing engineering degree, this reflects additions to existing undergraduate engineering degrees• Post-Baccalaureate degree programs –this minimizes impact to undergraduate engineering degrees• Working with educational technology programs –they tend to have greater flexibility

Various self-improvement methods (teacher reflection, product creativity check, and PBLexperience student report) were adopted in each round (text underlined). The major decisions of self-improvement are provided in the colored circle.This paper is structured as a case study to explain the transformation process listed inFigure 1, including working emphases, self-improvement methods and sequentialtransformation decisions for the DCS capstone course.

More specifically, service learning has been found toenhance students’ collaboration skills [2], civic engagement, interpersonal skills [3], [4], andtheir ability to apply knowledge to problem-solving [5].Our service-learning course was

In addition tothe previously mentioned reflection activities, improvements in student learning of key conceptswill be assessed indirectly by comparing achievement on relevant quiz and exam questions from2017 and 2018.

Because our research is in early stages, our analysis and findings to datehave focused on helping us revise, adapt and improve our classroom activities and relationshipswithin our developing partnership. We are analyzing data by summarizing notes and throughformal coding process. Overall we are taking an approach consistent with Miles and Huberman(1994) [18].Teacher Interviews

Tonso andothers have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those amongstudents within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broadercultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;McLoughlin, 2005).

Viewedanother way, the inclusion of these two objectives reminds us that design and creativity bothinvolve investigatory elements, exploration, data and information gathering, analysis andinterpretation, often through the design and conduct of experiments. The power of designthinking by Brown [19] with its emphasis on early and frequent prototyping to test ideas,physically or virtually, is a manifestation of the interdependence between engineering design andengineering investigation.

AbstractBroadly stated, accountability for a regional university is value created versus cost.Value reflects social and economic needs of the community, state, and region. Cost ofcreating value is cost of implementation strategies to achieve institutional goals. The state’shigher education coordinating board, a university board, and faculty senate are proxiesfor engaging community, state, and regional stakeholders in institutional accountability.Complex endogenous and exogenous challenges require an effective means for allocatingresources within the organization, monitoring effectiveness of institutional strategies, and, asnecessary, adapting strategies to ensure institutional accountability.This paper examines these issues and recommends an
