students meaningful opportunities to analyze andexplore complex global challenges, collaborate respectfully with diverse others, apply learning totake responsible action in contemporary global contexts, and evaluate the goals, methods, andconsequences of that action. Global learning enhance students’ sense of identity, community,ethics, and perspective-taking. Global learning is based on the principle that the world is acollection of interdependent yet inequitable systems and that engineering education has a vitalrole in expanding knowledge of human and natural systems, privilege and stratification, andsustainability and smart development to foster individuals’ ability to advance technologyapplication, equity and justice at home and abroad.ENTC

. This work examines three aspects of experiential learning activities in two distinctEngineering Technology courses: 1) the relationship between student learning style and thetiming of experiential learning activities related to a given topic; and 2) the role of course andtopic type on the relationship between student learning style and the timing of experientiallearning activities. The next section details the background research in these areas, this isfollowed by the methods, results, and conclusions of the work.BackgroundExperiential Learning Experiential learning attempts to rectify what Kolb characterized as the “rejection” of the“real-world” by the educational establishment 1. The key to experiential learning is the creationof

, the STEM elements that are inherent in making can be made all the moreobvious. This could be attributed to one of three ways. First, it situates making in contexts thatare personal, culturally, socially relevant to students. Second, it can encourage students to be partof a production pipeline and contribute to something novel and useful to society. Third,involvement in this form of making places students in long-term scenarios acting as Makers fullyengaging in STEM. We believe this approach to making can enable students to gain a holisticview of their making ability as well understand how developed knowledge can be transferred.This reflects Grotevant’s process of identity formation as arising out of continual exploration andevaluation 9

This paperdescribes the application of rubrics to gauge the performance, skills, and competencies ofstudents as they complete their senior projects in the EET and CET programs at DeVryUniversity, Addison, IL.ABET’s requirement for accredited programs to implement outcomes-based models hasstimulated the growth of formalized assessment programs within the engineering andengineering technology communities.The use of rubrics as an assessment tool allows faculty to: (a) Improve studentperformance by collecting data on student skills and

semester can be converted to Braille, but the work usually takes between a few weeks to several months to prepare. Printed handouts prepared during the semester can be accessed using technology such as the text- to-speech conversion software, described in a following section, if provided to the students in electronic form. The suitability of these software systems for the individual must be determined on a case-by-case basis by a disability counselor. b) Equations, commonly found in textbooks on technical topics, are more difficult to render in Braille. An equation that can be written in a single line of text may require an “expanded format” Braille rendering, using larger-than-normal sheet sizes

computer industry was understandable. Even with expanded computer use in ElectricalTechnology, at times the students in one or both options dropped low enough to make fillingupper division classes, especially electives, difficult. This resulted in electives being offered lessfrequently to assure the classes had enough students to be offered.On the positive side, about half of the ELT majors were working in the electrical or the controlsystem field while pursuing their baccalaureate degree. This group of students normally alreadyhad an associate degree. While this resulted in a need for major classes to be offered as eveningclasses, the working students acted as very positive role models for the rest of the class. Theworking student also provided a

students, employers, and the department. The engineering technologyprograms were all strong in that they were attracting large numbers of students (at least relative toour resources) and the graduates were getting good job opportunities, but we also saw many areasfor improvement such as advancement opportunities for graduates, the ability to attract students tothe programs, and the ability to attract new industrial partners and employers. This paper thenoutlines what we believe are the key lessons for: 1) curricular planning and implementation, in-cluding the role of Industrial Advisory Committees (IACs) in that planning, 2) hiring large num-bers of new faculty and integrating them into the experiential learning culture of the department,3) the
