and moving forward. Alternatively, the script at the start of each sectionseems forced and somewhat unnatural, and continues to feel that way as we progress with ourinterviews. A few bulleted phrases about the next series of questions might be best, though I do notfeel pressured to use the script. The one piece of the interview that continues to be difficult toeffectively capture during the interview is “Translating the Reflective Activity.” While the“experience” and “meaning” are readily articulated, the other three sections (features, lens andaction) are reflective activities for the interviewer and take practice to formulate by the end of theinterview. I have not mastered this portion of the interview and prefer to take time after the

With the problem statement addressed on multiple fronts by the differentdevelopment teams, mentors could better maintain focus on system-level coordination.Mentors identified potential topics based on applicant resumes that could be used to organizethree subsidiary development teams: programming the master control system as well as theancillary embedded sensors, smart load characterization and incorporation of renewable energy,and construction of the testbed. Some tasks, such as load characterization, were estimated to takeless time or be perceived as less desirable to the

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma and currently is involved with research into design-based engineering education. After completion of his Master’s degree, Jackson plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.Prof. Farrokh Mistree, University of Oklahoma Farrokh’s passion is to have fun in providing an opportunity for highly
engineering design professors do with their students while doing engineering education research in 1989-92 and completing my MS there. Teachers were not noticing naive designer behaviors and habits of mind when they showed up in their students’ actions and comments. I wanted to help teachers, most who were neither engineering designers nor designteachers, build the “professional vision”25 that would enable them to notice what master designteachers took note of when working with beginning design students. I started formulating a paper-based observation tool for teachers that they could carry around with them while visiting designteams.

Projects were the first time I’ve gotten to research and test something on that scaleand of my own interest. Though the math was difficult, I know this is the class that I will remember the mostfrom conceptually. Coming into UD I didn’t know where I wanted to take my Mechanical EngineeringDegree, however through my journey I have learned that I am extremely interested in aerospace and thisclass just increased my desire to go into aerospace engineering. Though it is going to be extremely difficult,I hope to eventually get my masters in this field. Thank you for the great semester.” - Eric I Page 16 of

Theymay have resources to help you create your own videos, or they might be able to connect youwith colleagues who have found videos you could leverage in your course.How do I develop in-class activities for the flip?Anna – Start with the learning objectives for the individual session: what measurable skills andknowledge and even attitudes must students have as a result of that session? Look for activitiesthat will allow students to engage with that course material in an active rather than passive way,and that will provide feedback to you and to them about how well they have mastered material(formative assessment). Some CTLs have lending libraries, and staff there are happy torecommend resources or
of student involvement and motivation actsagainst their learning skills and that graduates often lack an understanding of the complexity ofreal industry related projects [6]. According to [5], knowledge-acquisition approaches are oftenout of alignment with professional practice. Students are more focused on obtaining short-termrewards as exams and passing grades than in knowledge discovery. Commonly, to excel in theserewards they usually rely on memorization which leads to poor long-term retention. Moreover,by the use of these methods, students are being trained to seek the one correct solution instead offinding alternatives [6]. Learning requires feedback, and students are able to really master theoryuntil they can apply their knowledge [5
