Skill Half LifeOne of the largest complaints that rapid-fire programming environments is the “short half-life”of the acquired skills [8]. Dr. Gary, a Project-Based Learning associate professor for SoftwareEngineering at Arizona State University, criticizes “short-term, skills-focused learning activities”as they “do an inadequate job of placing those skills in context: a student might master skill Xbut is unable to assess tools and techniques that address the same problem space differently,” [8].However, Dr. Gary is primarily criticizing weekend programming courses, claiming that“Hackathons and Maker Faires are

‘Formulating the NEET Approach’. This included stakeholderanalysis, extensive discussions in the weekly core NEET faculty committee meetings,consultation with individual members of the extended NEET faculty committee, and deliberationabout high-level goals and master architectures in a workshop with students, industry, alumniand faculty that was held in September 2016. The concept of ‘New Machines and Systems’emerged during this stage. This led to in-depth conversations in October 2016 with the extendedNEET faculty committee at a workshop titled ‘Gathering the Evidence’ as to what kind ofevidence needed to be gathered, from whom, and what the modalities could be. The two artifactsthat emerged from this stage were a synopsis of the NEET initiative, and

From the 1862 Morrill Act and its focus on educational access and themechanic arts; to the 1958 National Defense Education Act as constructed in response toSputnik; to the 1960 California Master Plan for Higher Education and its role in creating one ofthe most envied and emulated higher education systems in the world, developments withinSTEM education have brought about significant shifts in higher education.Thus, we would want to trace the extent to which current efforts to transform engineeringeducation amount to a broader transformation of U.S. universities, one more suited to currentconcerns surrounding economic globalization.

how best the curriculum might be changed, tobetter meet this goal. Given Mina’s criticism of engineering students that they are nottechnologically literate, higher education might begin with a general programme of liberaleducation as suggested by Heywood. That model through problem based/project learningprovides a range of contexts that, should in principle, deal with the problem of control indifferent contexts. But, as Cheville recognises this is becoming increasingly difficult becauseof the tension between the increasing gap between technological and educational capability.He suggests that we should all master some (rather than many) aspect(s) of episteme andtechne, and we should learn to teach that aspect within “communities in which
essential to engineering design [4]–[6]. Engineers must be able tobalance multiple, often competing ideas, issues, and criteria in a design and make decisionsabout how to balance these tradeoffs. This requires using evidence from a variety of sources inthe decisions [5]. Therefore, an essential aspect of engineering education is teaching students touse evidence, tools, and processes to make their decisions. Experienced designers use a varietyof tools and processes to help them gather the evidence they need to make their decisions. Thisnecessitates technical scientific and mathematical knowledge, but also other skills and strategiesthat take time and practice to master. For example, one way that engineers gather evidence tomake their decisions is by
designed as demonstrations in supportof lecture topics rather than as data-collecting investigations. By this analysis, some lab classesmay seem to be deceptively titled, or to have wandered from their missions. In another type ofstrategic study, Litzinger [3] explores the question of what a lab course ought to be like, andfinds that most undergraduate lab classes offer poor models of learning environments. In hisanalysis, labs can be distilled into those focusing on component, or mechanical, skills—involving mastering the use of instruments or analysis methods—or into those that seek to fosterthe cognitive skills that we characterize as thinking. The takeaway from this analysis is that labsneed to be conceived in a way that cultivates particular

This model includes problem generation and/or invention. The environment is constructed in such a way that it represents, at least in certain aspects, reality or reality in a constrained form. This model includes two-way communication on equal terms, using either linguistic representations or other adequate kinds of language. Teaching III has strong links to constructivism. From a constructivist point of view, learning is considered as an

exploratory ActionResearch methodology involving Narrative Analysis, the authors concluded that while“engineers may struggle with the concepts of reflection and reflexivity, with support andencouragement such difficulties can be overcome” (p. 4). The fourth paper (Glew, 2014)described the model of critical reflection that has been used at the Master- and Bachelor-degreelevels in these same U.K. work-based programs. Their “triple mode learning model” incorporatesSchön’s (1983) idea of “theories in use” with experiential learning to integrate theory withpractice through a cyclic process of imitation, experience, and reflection. Finally, the last paper (Baier & Pongratz, 2013) described an innovative course andsupport network known as “Blue
