a quick study for new topics that must be mastered in a timely fashion, and ● The relative importance of systems thinking writ large in our program as opposed to more traditional Systems Engineering programs in which areas like the V-shaped model for example can have an entire course devoted to it, or areas like requirements engineering and quality engineering are focus sets of courses. These more traditional programs of Systems Engineering have been, are, and always will be an important part of the landscape of industry needs for “Systems Engineers”. However, the emphasis we place on "soft skills" (a

gain heavier workloads meant that having a smaller workload in this one really allowed me to be successful, and I feel like I still learned the material of the course even with a lighter load.”As indicated by the results above, the intentional decision to decrease course workload bydecreasing the amount of problems had a positive effect on overall student learning andcomprehension. By emphasizing quality over quantity, the students learned and mastered course-learning objectives. Additionally, by lowering course workload, students were empowered toallocate valuable study time to other areas of their coursework.Instructional and Pedagogical Supports (Question 4)The fourth pedagogical strategy implemented to proactively address

Everyone knows what theyare supposed to do with laid out ground rules. I think this helped us really to meet our deadlinesand complete project.”We also interviewed all members of Team 8. This team had 4 members. One was enrolled in aPhD program, one was at Master level, and the others were seniors. For the first two weeks theydid not make a good use of media tools to communicate with each other. When they set upGroupMe, Google Docs, and Slack, they could reach out to everyone at
directed.Despite instructors’ aspirations, students who have mastered the procedural tasks for a givenexam – and even those who have gained a deep understanding of the relevant concepts – stillmake errors when working out answers to exam questions. Different types of exams handle thesemistakes differently. For the purpose of this paper, common math exam types are categorizedinto three groups: 1) essay, 2) multiple choice, and 3) computer assisted. These types varyprimarily along parameters of a) scoring entity and b) partial credit. Exam type is often selectedalong these parameters for practical reasons such as class size and grading time required (seeCherkas and Roitberg [2]).The possibility for exams to be used as formative assessments exists.

Data Gathering: In order for the students to develop a revitalization plan for their assigned community, students must have a thorough understanding of the current conditions of the community and the residents’ needs. As part of this step, the students performed the following: Review of existing data and development plans. The students obtained demographic, socioeconomic and health data and studied nine different revitalization plans that pertain to our city and its communities. These plans include the City of Birmingham Comprehensive Plan, Sidewalk Master Plan, B- Active Plan, and others. Attended community meetings. During the meetings, the students learned

In theinterest of introducing a complex process in a short period of time, a series of data visualizationactivity worksheets were used to facilitate the process. The data visualization worksheetapproach has been used in many platforms for teaching the design process for data visualization[4] - [5]. The goal of these methods are to develop data visualization systems. It was beyond thescope and unrealistic to expect a visualization system as a deliverable for

The article alsopoints out that some PD cases involve project leaders (e.g., professors from institutions of highereducation), master educators, or some combination of both [9]. Some educators referenced inthe article have more computing/technology/pre-engineering backgrounds than sciencebackgrounds, while others are more science-oriented based on their academic discipline [9].Ultimately, this paper illustrates through multiple cases the differences in how educators aretrained, their backgrounds, and the emphasis of the engineering education programs.
