In 2016, the in-class portion of the firstexam had 35 questions that varied between multiple-choice style questions and open-responsesquestions. Similarly, the Fall 2017 offering’s first exam had 47

their strength as self-directed learners [6], [8], [9]. Designing a project which is appropriate for the concepts presentedto the learners is an example of a course design element which empowers the adults to be activeparticipants in the course.Adult learners derive their self-identity largely from their great depth of experience [6], [8], [9].Because of this pre-existing knowledge, the participants learn from each other and have a richerfoundation of experience to which to relate new experiences [6], [8]–[12]. In contrast, adults canalso be less open minded due to fixed habits and an unwillingness to change. A constructivistapproach enables the learners to be in control of their own learning, takes advantage of priorknowledge, and aims for

EngineeringFaculties’ Responses to Nature of Engineering Instrument (Work-In-Progress) AbstractEngineering faculty have advanced experiences with engineering that non-engineers do nothave, but what Nature of Engineering (NOE) concepts do engineering researchers hold? For K-12 engineering education, having an informed NOE understanding is an essential part ofengineering literacy. Yet for the higher education engineering community, NOE is hardly everdiscussed. Understanding engineering faculties’ NOE views can be a valuable contribution tocurrent NOE research. Our project is part of a collaboration between a southwestern US highereducation institute and a Vietnamese University. The cohort of Vietnamese engineering
experience differs noticeably between studies. Early work in productdissection focused on the benefits of learning how products work [3, 4, 16], while more recentwork has investigated how product dissection may be beneficial during product redesign as asource of inspiration or to provide a jumping off point for creative idea generation [17-20]. Theuse of product dissection as a tool in product redesign is important, because a goal of engineeringeducation is to teach students how to apply the design process to improve their ability to utilizeinnovative processes in industry. [21, 22]. Through the use of project based learning, educatorscan integrate product dissection into the design process and promote creativity; both of which arepart of ASEE’s

-College Students: A Literature Review (Other)AbstractIn response to increasing demands for engineers, engineering has become a more prominentfeature of K-12 education. Additionally, engineering and engineering related topics have becomepart of many state’s standards, further encouraging this growth. Over the last two decades,programs such as Project Lead the Way, Engineering is Elementary, and others have allowedmany K-12 schools to incorporate engineering into their offerings. At the same time, manyuniversities, corporations and other youth organizations have offered opportunities for studentsto learn about engineering outside of the classroom in informal settings. These programs includecamps, after school programs, mentoring programs and other

This was accomplished by reducing the lengthof the two group projects delivered during the semester and adjusting the project content to removematerial that was not necessary for success in future engineering courses (as determined by student andfaculty feedback).First, all students were required to attend “Department Days” where 5 consecutive class sessions wereused to introduce each of the 5 departments to all students (Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering,Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences,Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering).

The cycles include observation of own experiences,reflection, sense making of those experiences, and action [19]. For this study, we included anotherlayer in this cycle, a research experience for the student participants.

“blinded” mode, it is not currently possible to use labels, or createunique groups, and then collate the results once the review setting is switched to unblinded.When merging unique groups, the software allows the last decision to take precedence. For thisreason, the authors used the “unblinded” mode, which may have impacted the decisions ofreviewers. In addition, Rayyan tended to get overwhelmed if more than one person in a reviewwas making changes simultaneously, and when using labels, it will only let the user who added alabel remove it later. Despite these limitations and glitches that happened due to the ongoingdevelopment of Rayyan, it did help four authors work together on this project and collateinclusion results.While working through the
require technological understanding to remain competitive in a job market driven by advancingtechnology. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that occupations in information technology andComputer Science will grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026 [1]. Regardless, most K-12 schools in theUS and other countries do not currently offer Computer Science courses, so state legislatures haveturned their attention to incorporating these programming skills in K-12 curricula. For example, inthe Wyoming Legislature’s 2018 Budget Session, Senate File 29 was passed, adding Computer Sci-ence and computational thinking to the state educational program [2]. This bill requires ComputerScience to be incorporated into the K-12 curriculum by the 2022-23 school year
