of the importance of creativity to their professional andleadership development. Then, we explored whether those perceptions could be influenced throughactivity-based learning. Specifically, we embedded creativity concepts and practices within amasters-level engineering course focused on professional and leadership skills at Liverpool JohnMoores University (LJMU). Creativity was introduced through a dedicated 3-hour lecture sessionand several activity-based learning sessions throughout the course. We captured the students’awareness and perceptions of creativity at multiple points throughout the course using acombination of assessments, including tailored questionnaires, the Belbin team roles instrument,self-reflection questionnaires, peer

Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

approaches for improvement with these numbers wouldbe for me to share examples of badge usage in industry and demonstrate how students could usethe badges in job searches.Lessons Learned to dateAfter one semester of badge awards, a list of lessons learned is as follows: 1. When using Canvas LMS, badges are automatically awarded through Modules, so some set up was required. 2. Badge design should reflect accepted university logos and have approval through the marketing department. 3. If multiple badges will be awarded from one institution or class, creating a common framework with accepted logos on the design would more efficient. 4. Measurable criteria for receiving

period of time [18]. Student-to-student engagementactivities in an online course can include collaborative tools such as discussion boards, groupprojects, wikis, blogs, journals and peer assessments etc.• Threaded DiscussionsThe online threaded discussion provides students an opportunity to participate in virtualconversations at any time and any location. It can help students synthesize knowledge intounderstanding of the weekly course learning objectives. Evidence showed threaded discussionsincreased the amount of time students spent on class objectives comparing to face-to-facediscussion as in an onsite class. And the students appreciated the extra time for reflection oncourse issues [4]. It was also reported that online threaded discussion

knowledge process. The interpretation depends on a learner’s background knowledge andbeliefs. Every new piece of information is connected to existing knowledge after subjectiveinterpretation to fit their existing beliefs. Thus, new information can be connected appropriatelyand will reflect each person’s objective reality; it can also be connected to the incorrect beliefsand interpreted subjectively; or, it will be rejected (not retained), if it contradicts the learner’sbeliefs.11 Inductive teaching methodology is an active learning methodology which allows theinstructor to expose mistaken perceptions and beliefs of learners, and lead them to reframingtheir beliefs before new information is introduced and connected to the learner’s

Example work from three representative students(good, average, poor) is included with an Embedded Indicator summary that provides anassessment of student performance and is mapped to reflect linkage with appropriate 1-22program outcomes and Bloom’s Taxonomy.Pedagogical Techniques Employed in CourseStudents learn more effectively by actively analyzing, discussing, and applying content inmeaningful ways rather than by passively absorbing information [13]. Various teaching andlearning techniques were employed to improve the student learning of key concepts inengineering management.To assist students with learning course material, each student was required

with 11% and 16%,respectively. Generally speaking, students felt that their capstone project helped them tobecome more resilient with only 6% of the LSS students disagreeing with this. The last questionin this section reflects their perception of the overall execution of the project which is highlydependent on how they approached and dealt with the changing challenges as the projectunfolded. 94% of the LSS students did not think that the way their capstone project wasexecuted was inefficient whereas only 60% of the non-LSS concurred.Regarding employability, 81% of LSS students agree or strongly agreed with their capstoneproject experience helping get the job they wanted. As for non-LSS students, only 18% agreedwith this statement. 87% of the
