into circuits and communication links. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Measurement of the Effect of Interactive Questions in Lab Manuals on LearningAbstract​ -- This research paper will describe the results of an experiment in which two groups ofstudents in a laboratory class received different web-based lab manuals featuring interactivequestions, the treatment with many more interactive questions than the control. The hypothesiswas that asking students more questions would cause the students to reflect on the task at hand,which would in turn increase learning. This study was motivated by work on experientiallearning, particularly Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, which suggests that

embed social, political and economic context intoengineering education, particularly in engineering for sustainable community development, sothat engineers better understand the wider impacts that can result from their interventions. Onesuch method is the integration of reflective exercises within engineering course work.This paper traces the adoption of critical reflection as a core pedagogical strategy in anengineering management program focused on sustainable international development within oneUK university. Critical reflection, which stems from a critical scholarly tradition, asks us toquestion our assumptions, recognize the role that power plays in shaping our social reality, anduse reason to advance our emancipatory thinking and

The service should provide support andsolutions for overcoming a community identified need, while also deepening students learning ofengineering concepts.
