In November 1962 sheaccepted an appointment as an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Library Science atthe Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia. In addition to teaching courses in the MLISprogram, Takle conducted research on foreign technical information. From 1963-64, she was theassistant director and senior investigator of the Foreign Engineering Literature Research Project.At the 1963 ASEE conference in Philadelphia, she presented her research on Germanengineering literature.[17] Takle’s academic career was short-lived.

It can benoted, however, that the spreading in student opinion is relatively large since a part ofstudents was not very positive to the project. From the teachers’ perspective, the new projectwas a source of many interesting discussions with students that were really relating andapplying their new thermodynamic knowledge to their own experience. In conclusion, theproject fulfills its purpose to increase motivation and widen the understanding ofthermodynamics.Active learning and the phenomenographic approach in engineering thermodynamicsThe project idea follows the phenomenological approach3, which is recognized for stimulatinga deep-level instead

To my mind, foremost among its contributions is the idea, developed duringthe 1990s, that that which a culture treats as physical or mental capacity derives from socialvalues and conditions.

dialogues. However, instructor facilitation may result in an instructor-centered discussion whichlimit students’ participation and voice [18], and student-facilitated discussions provide analternative approach. Peer facilitation can foster a sense of student ownership and help studentsfeel more at ease in expressing their opinions [19], and allow practical hands-on experience ofbeing a discussion facilitator [18]. Compared to instructor-facilitated discussions, research onstudent-facilitated discussions is still limited focusing more on the student facilitation techniques[11], [20]. This study aims to explore how overall design and management of student-facilitateddiscussions influence peer interaction and critical thinking in engineering
teacher educator, she has added engineering to her elementary and early childhood science methods courses, and developed a Teaching Engineering Design course for middle school pre-service teachers in a science track. Since 2008, she has partnered with Harford County Public Schools in Maryland on the SySTEmic Project, a district-wide project to implement elementary engineering instruction using EiE units of instruction. More recently, she has provided science and engineering professional development to Tunbridge Public Charter School, Baltimore City, and to Cecil County Public Schools, Maryland. Her research largely examines factors that support and those that hinder elementary teachers as they learn to teach
them to generate systems that areinterconnected as one can evolve to generate a process that can give a solution to natural orpeople-made problems. In this current project, there is still space for further development inregards to the testing and optimization of the overall system design due to the limitation of aroughly 10 cm range in the detecting of the RFID tags due to the low frequency of operation ofthe RFID reader.Bibliography1.

If, for example, one “googles” the keywords “engineering school diversity professor student,” one will easily find a number of universities addressing the diversity of their student populations. When students work together, “it remains a big challenge for students with different educational backgrounds, practical experience and ethnic backgrounds, to coordinatetheir knowledge, thinking and activities”17.
