Engineering at University of North Dakota. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 WIP: Communication Tools for Engineering Educators Conducting Class Projects with Dispersed StudentsIntroductionCommunication is one of the most vital skills required for any given educational or workenvironment. Without effective communication, the efficiency of projects and coordination oftasks tend to suffer. Technical expertise lends to the overall vision and path of an intendedresearch project, however, poor communication can easily cause a project or group to flounder.In addition, situations like the Covid-19 crisis forces individuals to be dispersed and isolated,which hinders work and

Graduate engineering education is understudied, but recent reportshave highlighted the importance of focusing on topics related to graduate student retention andthriving. Our team’s recent work explored how graduate students have come to engineering and,more importantly, captured why they may be considering departing from their graduate studies,finding that students’ expectations and goals

]. Working in contexts outside oftraditional mechanical engineering applications, students may have to reconcile multiplerepresentations of concepts that they previously perceived more narrowly [5]. Previous researchalso shows that team projects can facilitate deeper conceptual growth when individual membershave to contribute parts to a whole. When teams delegate the design of different sub-systems todifferent members, to be successful, each individual must understand how their parts contributeto the whole and how they interface with all other parts [6]. Teamwork also presents anopportunity for collaborative knowledge construction as students work together to make sense ofunexpected results.In this qualitative case study, we investigate the range of

In this study, two evidence-basedpedagogies, problem-based learning and project-based learning have been implemented andtested in different levels of STEM gateway courses in the last three years. An assessmentframework has been established to analyze the effect of the implemented pedagogies.Continuous assessment data have been collected and compared with the baseline data collectedin the lecture-dominated same courses.

curriculum over the past decade. Most of these courses have a number of objectives relating to the development of traditional technical skills, including familiarization with design and shop tools, incorporation of physics into design decisions, and methods for analysis and testing. These courses, which are a form of experiential learning,, can have a number of additional broader objectives as well. These broader objectives can include fostering creativity, persistence in overcoming obstacles, making all students welcome regardless of their prior experience in design, and understanding how to work on a team and manage a project. While assessment of traditional technical and analytical skills is straight-forward to assess in exams and report

on projects and activities inmakerspaces.Growth MindsetGrowth mindset has been defined as, the extent to which learners keep an open mind to considertheir ability to learn or perform [27], [28]. People who consider their current limitations predictstheir limitations in the future (e.g., “I am bad at math”), hold a fixed mindset. In contrast, peoplewho consider their current limitations can be overcome with effort or opportunity, hold a growthmindset. We posit that work in makerspaces increases the potential for students to develop agrowth mindset due to the ability to experiment with solutions and engagement in multipleattempts with no real single and correct solution. In addition, the ability to modify and createnew prototypes is relatively

course and the students that are working within the boundaries of thecourse [4]. Therefore, work is being done to design assessment that allows for student freedomwith strategies like project-based learning and learning portfolios [5]. These forms of assessmentderive from work on open-ended learning environments and self-regulated learning. Open-endedlearning is a pedagogical approach that harnesses students’ intrinsic motivation to learn [6], andself-regulated learning is when students make goals and evaluate their learning in order topractice metacognition [7]. Many researchers have found benefits when implementing moreopportunities for student-directed learning both in higher education [8–11] and the K-12system [12]. Giving students ownership

In the latterpart of the course, a major course project was assigned in which four teams of students inconjunction with graphic design students developed unique games meant to teach others aboutclimate change and civilization collapse. Specific game mechanics were not prescribed; instead,student teams were encouraged to explore a variety of mechanics and design elements that bestsuited their chosen audience and game theme. In addition to this final board game product,students wrote a reflective paper to (a) explain how the board game accomplished the goal

Yet while PBSL itself is becoming moreprevalent, the body of research behind service learning is lacking in some areas.
