Similar frustrations were expressed withregards to the engineering career fair (which occurs near the beginning of each Fall semester).While the engineering career fair was not a tracked CE/EVEG exploration event (see Table 1),students in each general classification (but particularly lost EVEG students) reported negativeexperiences in terms of available employers, providing valuable insight and supporting thenotation that post-graduation plans strongly influence major selection. Among the eventsdiscussed within the discernment papers, the student panel discussion appeared to be the mostsuccessful, due to the relatively high student participation (42 total experiences) and overallpositive impact across all student major

demonstrate that overallknowledge is not diminished when peer instruction is the primary form of learning.IntroductionThe authors, along with many other engineering educators, have been strong proponents ofactive learning. Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3]. When one of the authors was granted aFulbright Scholar Award to teach a biochemistry course in Uganda, the plan was to reproduceteaching methods used in the United States such as clicker questions, think-pair-share, and teamactivities which would be easy for the students to adopt [4].

These data collection and analysis challenges are partially related tostudent difficulties encountered while planning information gathering interactions withstakeholders [10], [13], finding and accessing stakeholders who can best provide neededinformation [10], [13], and translating conflicting or ambiguous stakeholder responses intospecific needs and/or requirements [10], [18], [19].

Our model gives a 57% recall, which isunfortunately not high, but is better than selecting students at random. The instructor plans tocontinue gathering data to improve the classification model.To answer the second research question (can we improve the student experience and performancein the course via an intervention based on early predictions?), we analyzed assessment scoresfrom students in each of the four groups A, B, C and D.Student final grades 125 100

Students in the PRL MCoP often engage in physical and virtual practice;experience ‘it worked’ and ‘it didn’t work’ moments; and revise their knowledge, technique,designs, and manufacturing processes accordingly. For example, consider how Brittany managesthe end of her casting project. With her project due in about two weeks, she has successfully casther major part but realizes a concern. Although she has conferred with CAs and has a plan forfixturing and machining her casting, this will be her first time post-machining, and she is unsurehow it will go.

Finally, we offer suggestions on how others might goabout industrializing their own software development projects.IntroductionIndustry and academic professionals continue to call for more collaboration in Computer Scienceand Information Technology education [1]. Project-Based Learning (PBL) [2] and ActiveLearning [3] are key instructional approaches that benefit from a strong industry connection. Inthis paper, we talk about our experience in injecting industry practice into the core of the project-based course: the project itself.One of the authors of this paper is a university professor; the

to discuss “which courses they were going to be taking” and“possibly share class notes and were planning to work together on group projects”. Students hadacquired a sense of belonging and were more motivated to continue to be enrolled in engineeringcourses. One key aspect was that students were highly interested in conducting research which inturn they had already contacted some of the faculty members by the beginning of week one ofthe fall quarter. One student stated, “he allowed me to join his research even though I wasn'tofficially settled into school yet”. It appeared that their motivation level had seen an increasefrom when they initially attended the one-week program in comparison to their first week ofbeing enrolled at a four-year

-valuetheory of achievement motivation (EVT) [29]. EVT seeks to explain how individuals choosebehaviors based on their outcome expectations and the value they place on that outcome [30].Subjective task value can be broken into four dimensions: 1. Attainment Value: A task has attainment value if it provides a way to confirm or support an aspect of how one sees one’s self. 2. Interest Value: A task has interest value if an individual enjoys or expects to enjoy doing the task. 3. Utility Value: A task has utility value if it benefits future plans. 4. Cost Value: A task can also have perceived cost(s) associated with performing the task.While EVT is more commonly used to predict a subject’s behavior, for this paper, the STVconstruct of

Toovercome these issues, IUCEE was established with a vision to improve the quality and globalrelevance of engineering education in India [1].Research performance is a significant factor that is commonly used in comparing universities. Theconcept of research performance is defined in two parts: one is research (all faculty are expectedto engage in research) and the other is performance (which is evaluated based on the quality of thepublished work) The different parameters considered under research component are research skillsand techniques, research funding, research management

This is a high pressure deadline where students are tasked with demonstrating a fully functioning robot that can score a designated small number of points. Students that fail to reach this objective, create a plan with their section tutor. Partial credit is possible if the robot can score points within a week after the deadline. This partial credit grade is used as one the metrics used in this study to identify teams that are struggling with design challenges. ● Oral Presentation in Week 10.

It is because values such as profit maximization, subjection of nature, and control over society are part of the hegemonic ones nowadays that green-revolution- like agriculture is largely preferred over agro-ecology. That is, not only does technology shape society (item 2 above), society (or those particularly powerful there), on its turn, does also shape technology, choosing its development pathway based on those ethical-political values taken (for some) as the preferred or best ones.
