Sometimes, in engineering disciplines “Kinesthetic” and “Visual” may slightly overlap. In a laboratory setting, the students can actually “see and observe” certain operations when they “perform” experiments. See and observe may be interpreted as visual.

practice, a skill set that is essential forstudents pursuing faculty careers, may also be a useful metric for graduate training more broadly.In the initial design of the course, we chose to move away from traditional assignments andassessments (such as quizzes and tests) to maximize the accessibility of the course. Given thatour course participants are graduate students with research responsibilities, reducing the timeburden for this course was a top priority. Still, we believe that utilizing a limited number ofungraded assessments will increase opportunities for active recall and spaced repetition without asignificant increase in participant time burden.For (3), one of the driving motivators in the inception of the course was creating

Model for Teaching Physics and Mathematics to Engineering Students Session topic: Innovation and best practices around the globeAbstractThis paper presents details of the implementation of an educational innovation in an internationalcontext. In Mexico, we designed a classroom that we call the ACE classroom. ACE comes fromthe Spanish acronym for “Aprendizaje Centrado en el Estudiante” (Student-Centered Learning);also, the pronunciation of the acronym in Spanish is identical to that of the verb “do”, and thusconveys the idea that students learn by doing in this classroom. The ACE classroom we designedis similar to the SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for UndergraduatePrograms) classroom

Inthis paper, examples of research-informed practice for university graduate and undergraduateprojects are given, and service-learning is discussed as a powerful tool in education. The paperfurther discusses case studies of research-informed service-learning as a complementary approachto project-based curriculum and educational activities
