Course learning outcomes includedtopics in design and intellectual property, among a range of other foundational areas.Coursework included a major team-based, design-and-build project. This project had a slightlycompetitive aspect in that bonus points were awarded to the team that built the best project.Three years ago, one of the authors conceived and implemented a “class patent” system wherebyteams could write and submit an application to patent a project idea. By patenting an idea, a teamcould hope to gain competitive advantage in achieving the best project. As a pedagogical study, we sought to determine the effects of the class patent system

, textbooks, and peers [2, 4, 6]. Situatedcognition theory offers a theoretical framework for studying this education-practice gap inengineering. Situated cognition theory proposes that the social and material contexts whereinknowledge is learned and applied influences our ability to apply similar knowledge in newcontexts [7]. Engineering education often focuses on transmitting conceptual knowledge tostudents in abstract formats with the intent of providing students a fundamental understanding ofconcepts so that they can apply these concepts to unique situations in their future coursework orengineering careers [5, 8]. Situated cognition challenges this ubiquitous notion of concepts andour ability to apply conceptual knowledge within novel

leaders of relevant organizations, providing students withengineering faculty as mentors, and finally, introducing them to the design process, working inteams, technical writing, and oral presentation.More specifically, cognitive stimulation was supplied by introducing the concept of engineeringdesign to the students early in their academic career. In some sections of the experimental US1100classes, a design project was completed after design theory was taught. Introducing students todesign early on in their academic careers has been shown to help students develop crucial skillsthat they would need throughout the remainder of their education and well into their career, suchas critical thinking, working effectively in teams, and technical

To make sure that we were not going far afield, we took the time to research otherprograms. Because EE is a very large field, we started with a list of 93 programs at similar uni-versities and then eventually narrowed that list to a set of six programs that we considered to beaspirational peers.

Because of the longitudinal nature of thetask, the team also decided to address other identified opportunities in the curriculum, such asimproving technical writing instruction and team skills.As a result, students began to see common graphics for the design process for each course in thesequence. The team began their development of the curriculum by formulating a unified designprocess flowchart for use in all courses. While students in the formative courses may not beexpected to memorize the design process flowchart, by the time they have reached their capstonecourse, they will have

Write a learning performance—Teachers write a single statement of a learning performance describing the objective of the lesson while considering the three dimensions together. A learning performance statement has a similar format and structure as a PE. However, unlike a performance expectation, a learning performance focuses only on a portion of a PE, usually a single step in the instructional sequence. 4. Ask the right questions—When writing learning performance statements, the following questions recommended by the NSTA may be helpful for consideration.

Chen [5] discovered that taking a lighter course load withless challenging math courses while having a poor performance in those courses lead to ahigh chance of switching out of STEM. Another noteworthy result from this study: All other factors being equal, bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who first attended public 4-year institutions had a higher probability of leaving STEM by switching majors than those who started at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. Bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who were male or who came from low-income backgrounds had a higher probability of leaving STEM by dropping out of college than their peers who were female or came from

Ultimately the survey collected responses from 114 students across theeconomic spectrum, from students facing homelessness due to education costs, to those who donot face financial burdens or the need to work to support their education.Overall some of the results of this paper were promising.

For example, it is widely accepted that many engineers believe nontechnicalskills to be easy and subsequently less valuable in the grander scheme of things [10]. A belieflike this could potentially impact the way that an engineering student interacts with a teammatein a nontechnical major like political science or creative writing. By encouraging students tocollaborate with a diverse team in a capstone environment, they are given the chance toexperience interdisciplinary interactions prior to entering the professional world.
