Finally, this work points to the next step in this evolving redesign.Introduction Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) provides guidelines to present information in a mannerthat encourages learning and optimizes intellectual performance [1]. As an example, considerthe obstacles in learning new material in a non-native language. Clearly, there is an overload:learners must master both the new material and the language itself. Interestingly, this is resonantwith the challenge of learning to program a computer which faces those students not in thecomputer science major. Such learners must master
. Intellectual AuthorityThe Intellectual Authority is considered high in intellectual excitement and low in interpersonalrapport. These teachers can be highly effective and inspiring. They are masters of the subjectthey teach, provide fascinating lectures and are highly respected. Despite being clear andorganized, they can also be distant, unapproachable and impatient. They are often highlyrespected, sometimes feared – but rarely loved.The ultimate example of the intellectual authority is Professor Charles W. Kingsfield (JohnHouseman) in the law school movie “Paper Chase”. He won an Oscar for his performance as thestern and demanding professor who makes James T. Hart’s (Timothy Bottoms) life particularlymiserable. Kingsfield is known for publicly

concluded thathomework did not significantly correlate with student performance on exams and that variationsin homework methods had little impact on student performance in the class. Time surveysconfirm that students often spend their time studying for the next quiz or exam. However,mistakes made on previous quizzes and exams are often repeated on later exams; suggestingstudents may not spend sufficient time in reflecting and improving their mastering of topicscovered in previous quizzes and exams.As such, the authors have implemented exam wrappers to obtain students’ reflection on theirquiz and early exam performance in current course offerings. Wrappers formalize the process ofreviewing quiz and exam performance by asking students to formally

Deep reading also served as apoint of discussion within these small groups, to create a rated list in order to determine whichaspects of student writing are the most important. At the end of Day 1, the small groups werebrought back together and a master list was generated as a summary of what the groupscollectively felt were aspects of strong student writing. Rubric development results will bepresented in the following section.Day 2 began with the presentation of a draft rubric based on the master list that was created inthe discussion at the end of the previous day.

generated using established soft lithography and replication techniques[7], resulting in the ability to make several PDMS devices from a single silicon master. Flow isintroduced into the device by connecting two inlet ports to two syringes containing the blue andyellow fluids via Tygon tubing (Figure 1B). The use of the colored fluids (which consist of dH2Ospiked with blue or yellow food coloring) eliminated the need for fluorescent microscopy andallowed for the students to easily visual the mixing phenomena that occurs in the device. As forfabricating the devices, as discussed above, this requires a multi-step process, some of which areperformed by the students with others being performed by the undergraduate student helpers.The fabrication and
successful researchers automatically convert to an effective teacher. Although transferring skills is important and can be good for the academic career, it by no means suggests that industry experience or research success will be enough to make a faculty successful. Some of the advantages of new faculty having industry experience are discussed below. Transferring Skills from Industry to Academia Industry and academia are both similar and different in many ways. They both require a set of skills that must be mastered in order to be successful. Of particular interest are the skills acquired and utilized by engineers and engineering managers during the performance of their duties.

Using Videos to Elicit Self-Explanations of Emergent Electromagnetic ConceptsIt is well documented that students have more difficulty comprehending and mastering emergentschemas in comparison to direct-causal schemas or concepts. Compared to some otherdisciplines, electrical engineering tends to have many emergent concepts, particularly inelectromagnetics where most phenomena are not directly observable by humans and manyobserved behaviors arise from spatially distributed charge and field distributions. One methodthat has been shown to help students understand emergent concepts is to elicit self-explanationsof these concepts. This paper reports on the use of student-produced videos for self-explanationof concepts in a

Mastery learning and assessmentcan be used to evaluate individual learning weaknesses and suggest remediation actions1.Mastery learning and assessment is an approach that has existed in education for decades. Thereare two main approaches for mastery learning: Bloom’s Learning for Mastery and Keller’sPersonalized System of Instruction2-4. Both approaches hinge on the idea of dividing the coursematerial into basic modules. The students have to master each module before moving to the nextmodule. Student’s mastery is assessed via set of tests where each test is focused on a certainconcept.Mastery learning and assessment

The sustainability venn diagram is then reviewed.Next, the instructor assembles students together in groups of 3-4 to discuss their pre-classhomework—identifying potential positive and negative impacts of general infrastructure withrespect to People, Planet and Price (see Table 3). Each group summarizes and compiles a new3P impact table. Next, the instructor rotates between groups to prepare a “master” table of 3Pimpacts for the class. The idea is not to make an exhaustive list, but to help students identify thatthere are many potential positive and negative impacts within each of the 3Ps, and that theseimpacts will support a rating of any project with respect to each of the 3Ps.
