This is notsimply the wish of a social scientist trying to elbow her way into the engineering curriculum.Socio-technical bridging is an empirically confirmed engineering phenomenon. Our careerhistory research in engineering workplaces demonstrated that one of the most powerfulleadership development paths was carved by “boundary spanners” [31], engineers with deepexperience in multiple divisions, departments, and organizational communities who learned toblend their technical training with iterative social development. These engineers were fantasticleaders, not only because they had mastered

relation to the design of the automatic blood pressure measurement device: a) Electrical and computer engineering; b) Human physiology/biology; and c) Medical/health care. In assessing their responses, we defined the following numerical rubric scale: 1. Limited (score 1): the student was unable to describe most of the major activities; 2. Satisfactory (2): the student was able to describe several but not all of the major activities; 3. Mastered (3): the student accurately described all of the major activities. Two instructors performed the assessment. On a 1-to-3 scale, the mean was 2.23 and the standard deviation was 0.62. We feel that this result is good, but we hope to improve. Spring 2012 Mid

driven by a problem or a set ofproblems. Some typical problem solutions are demonstrated by the instructor and studentspractice problem solving among other activities in order to master the learning outcomes.Problems could be realistic or abstract. Recent research suggests that abstract problems havesome advantages over others (Kaminski, Sloutsky, Heckler, 2008). However, unlike PDL, animportant aspect of PDT is that instructor plays an active role in teaching activities.In a PBL environment, students are usually divided into teams to work on problems. In thismodel the problems are expected to drive the learning activities, a common practice in medicalscience, particularly in psychiatry (Adamowski, Frydecka, & Kiejna, 2007). In this strategy

quality of their teaching, assessments, or exam rigor. While part of my findingsindicates a focus on preventing cheating, much of the emphasis appears to also be place onvaluing the problem-solving process and progression over simply obtaining the correct finalanswer.Through various statements and grading practices, ID1 promoted an understanding-drivenassessment style that possibly nurtured student learning, comprehension, and growth in a mannerdistinct from traditional academic grading systems. This focus on process rather than outcomemay hint at an educational philosophy that values the underlying mechanics of problem-solvingas fundamental to mastering engineering principles. For example, ID1 awarded substantial creditfor showing the correct

legislation followed the recommendations of A Master Planfor Higher Education in California 1960 - 1975, whereby different functions were assigned to theUniversity of California, the CSU, and the California Community Colleges1. The CSU’sprimary mission was to prepare the state’s workforce through superior teaching and service tostudents. Research assumed a minor role. This mission was modified by a 1989 revision of theEducational Code acknowledging the centrality of scholarship, research and creative activity tothe CSU mission (CA 66010.4). This was followed by a 1997 Cornerstones Report2 thatidentified these faculty activities as essential components of the CSU teaching-centered mission.Finally in 2007, the Provosts of the CSU asserted the

When looking at the bad scores the butt joint was the most difficult at 30, while the tee joint was easiest at 57. The decent scores were similar for the lap and butt joints–73 and 74 respectively– while the tee joint was 82. Finally, the tee and lap joints proved to be easily done, after some practice a Total Score of 96 for both was achieved. However, even with practice the butt joint was difficult to master, achieving a good Total Score of 89.
