members spread around distant geographical locations. According to Jensen et al. [3],groups involved in engineering design or manufacturing may be working in differentdepartments, plants, countries, or even continents. CAD software permits the rapid exchange ofdesign and manufacturing information regardless of where the team members may be locatedaccording to these authors. Successful teams master and use communication tools effectively towork with their teammates. Sophomore students are already capable of using smart phones,computers, and other technology for communication. However, their use is often for personalneeds, entertainment, or social interaction. Using technology to communicate in engineering isnot simple. Brewer [14] writes on the
revisions. If a student does a second activity on the same days as the previous activity, there is an almost 10% chance that that activity will be a revision – Figure 9. It appears that while bingeing on topics on the same day, students are regularly sprinkling in revision of previously mastered topics.When students do not complete another activity until the next day, the percentage of activities that are revisions halves. As the time gap grows the rate of revision does increase, although there is a small drop if the gap is two or more weeks. Generally, the more significant the gap, the more likely it is that the student will start with a revision, although they are still more likely, for every time gap, to begin with a Learn. When examining this
fairly good practical knowledge on the basics of materials and machining whichthey learnt through “Learning by doing” approach [1], Project based learning PBL seemed to bethe most appropriate methodology to adapt for this course since the focus is on the application aswell as the integration of previously acquired knowledge.2. Literature ReviewAs an integral part of a global society, engineers today are expected to master a combination ofdisparate capabilities, not only technical competencies concerning problem solving and theproduction and innovation of technology, but also interdisciplinary skills of cooperation,communication, project management and life-long learning abilities in diverse social, culturaland globalized settings. Thus, in
, students are expected to model complicated systems using free-bodydiagrams (FBD) in mechanics courses, or create state and logic diagrams in computer sciencecourses. To best master these skills, students should be able to attempt these questions multipletimes, with a variety of different forms to ensure a breadth of knowledge in the topic. 1 It is alsoessential that students receive prompt and meaningful feedback on their submissions, so that theymay improve and learn from their mistakes. Research has confirmed the importance of buildingdrawing skills in undergraduate mechanics courses. Shryock and Haglund 2 stress that providingample practice to draw free-body diagrams helps students understand key concepts in physics andmechanics, and can clear

Conforming to gender scripts around interests and passions, particularly aroundwomen as helpers and men as technically masterful, is a way for both men and women toreinforce their gender identity6.Sex segregation of the labour market is a world-wide phenomenon, with female representation inengineering in particular being negatively correlated to GDP, suggesting that as women gainaccess to more educational and occupational opportunities, they increasingly conform tostereotypical gender roles and expectations7. Sociologists distinguish between genderessentialism, which is the idea that there are innate differences in capacities based on gender, andgender as a social
D,W,F percentage for ten semestersof Elements of Structures at 10.6% (p = .000531). A central concern for engineering educators is how to get students to master so manyequations and definitions while also understanding the physical mechanisms in such a limitedtime [2]. Recent research initiatives have demonstrated that engineering faculty do not possess agood solution. They found that contrary to high passing rates, students are failing tocomprehensively understand the concepts that they need to master in mechanics of solids courses[3]. This failure has prompted many researchers to investigate potential causes of thisdiscrepancy with the intention of identifying teaching and learning approaches that can helpstudents develop a

This theory statesthat information is stored in one’s long-term memory by means of a network of interconnected concepts.Based on this theory, if someone needs to master a new concept, they need to place it at the right placewithin this network and the right place will be determined by the position of the related concepts and pre-requisites. This places the emphasis on the understanding pre-requisite concepts before teaching a newconcept to the students. However, previous work25 shows that a large fraction of students in a coreengineering class do not satisfy this requirement. This might lead to the lack of understanding of

West Region TransportationWorkforce Center was additionally interested in learning what role industry engagement andexperiential learning plays in the educational process during degree attainment. An onlinesurvey instrument was created using Qualtrics. The survey queried university and communitycollege representatives regarding what construction specialization areas were covered, at whatlevel, and how much time was devoted to specific safety topics for each responding institution.Respondents were asked about competencies students would be expected to master by time ofgraduation, as well as institutional expectations regarding work-based and experiential learningexperiences obtained by students during program enrollment. Respondents were
other groups who are assigned the same aspect, and after mastering the material, return to the “home” group and teach the material to their group members. Each student’s part is essential for the completion and full understanding of the final product. This technique engages all students and is very effective.” Figure 1 displays the Jigsaw Technique using a puzzle analogy. From the figure, it is easy tosee how the original team is divided into experts which reunite with the original team once thematerial is mastered. Experts are held accountable to their original team. Team members aredependent on the other members to learn the material. The Jigsaw technique is not a newtechnique and has been used in its original form

argumentation is a promising approachto teaching engineering, the National Research Council (NRC, 2012) contended that studentsshould master “constructing a convincing argument that supports or refutes claims” for solutionsabout the designed world – a recommendation that was adopted by the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS Lead States, 2013, p. 63).Although argumentation can help both students and engineers achieve positive outcomes(Gouran, 1995; Zohar & Nemet, 2002), it’s not always a simple skill for students to master(Wilson-Lopez & Garlick, 2017). Consequently, we argue that there is a need for more researchrelated to best practices for supporting K-12 students in engaging in engineering argumentation.The purpose of this review is to
