During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary teaching and course

ininstructional activity may influence these student perceptions, both through the quality withwhich the task is carried out and via the social influence of projected confidence [45]. Therefore,TSE can be instrumental in enabling TAs to meet student expectations and also in strengtheningthe beneficial outcomes that emerge from successful interactions with them.Our study focuses on the role of TSE in engineering classrooms that are managed by TAs anddiffers from existing studies in several ways. First, the research on TSE in higher educationdescribed above has relied on teachers’ self-report of their own sense of self-efficacy. Researchexamining links between teacher self-efficacy and student perceptions is limited [46] and to ourknowledge has not been

The Dramatistsseemed to have a consistent role-based infrastructure that different plays run atop of, each playassigning its own roles to actors and making its own demands of the different technical positions.I recognized this model as being analogous to an engineering administrative one: assigning aproject manager, a software lead, a senior developer for backend, etc. Still, the students I spoketo saw the structure as meaningfully distinct. This distinction is perhaps explained by somestudents’ inexperience with industry teaming structures. However, I believe more is going on.Perhaps, the particulars of the Dramatists’ system is flexible enough so as to encourage effectiveteamwork, whereas hierarchies on

The bi-weeklylabs require students to produce a 3D CAD model of a part or assembly based on an engineeringdrawing. Labs generally take students less than 30 minutes to complete. The weekly homeworkassignments require the completion of tutorials and/or modeling parts or assemblies from thetextbook [2]. Weekly homework assignments consistent of 3-5 parts or assemblies that thestudent must create in the CAD software.Although assigning extensive opportunities to model helps with mastering 3D CAD software,efficiently grading the work is challenging.

. Framing is the set ofexpectations one has about a situation [21, 22]. In our study, some students framed their solutionas meeting the expectations of the instructor, while in other instances students discussed theirsolution as if they were analyzing a bridge that would be built in the real world. Similarly,Koretsky and Nolen found students discussing their projects either in the “school world” or the“engineering world” when examining chemical engineering middle year studio and senior designteams [23, 24], and McNeill et al. found similar results where students distinguished between“classroom problems” and workplace problems” [25]. Gainsburg also found different ways thatstudents framed mathematics in engineering courses: from believing that every

projected average salary to be statistically different betweenthose who were formerly postdocs and those who did not obtain postdocs. The opportunity costof postdoc training in terms of salary also appears to vary across employment sectors, with thestakes particularly high for those eventually employed in industry. For PhDs who remain inacademia, time as a postdoc may improve early career earnings. Therefore, from the perspectiveof financial returns to doctoral training, it is important for engineering PhDs to consider the long-term career prospects in different sectors. For engineering PhDs with career interests in non-academic employer sectors, awareness of the potential delay in salary growth associated with thelow payment during postdoc

In all, we intend from the findings of this study to generate a set of principles thatteachers can consider when they are creating learning environments in which their studentsengage in engineering. Teachers might engage students in socially-situated activities that aresimilar in purpose to those of engineers. Within this context, they can provide their students withdevelopmentally-appropriate genres that are similar to those engineers read; and they can modelfor their students how to evaluate those genres like engineers evaluate texts. On a pragmaticlevel, ultimately, we also intend for this project to result in instructional materials, including setsof texts for students and guiding teachers’ materials (e.g., discussion prompts) that might

The assessment involves twocohorts: control and intervention groups. The authors are currently collecting data for the controlgroup. Once the VR module is fully developed, relevant data will be collected and analyzed withrespect to the control group. The assessment instruments involve self-report surveys andknowledge tests
