. Systematic review techniques have recentlygained traction in the field of engineering education. A systematic review performed over aspecific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of bestpractices.This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identifiedthrough a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results wereexamined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, andlimitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review. The results of thereview may inform educational techniques employed in post

For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change.

This work is framed bytwo seemingly simple questions: 1) What does technology education teaching look like? 2) Whatare technology education students learning? We charted this path because of the dearth ofresearch on Technology Education teaching and learning. In the early 1990s, Zuga conducted acomprehensive review of Technology Education research and concluded the vast majority ofresearch and scholarship in the field to that point had focused either on curriculum developmentor on teacher

As an example, one might consider breaking a 3 credit-hourfinite element analysis course into 4 course modules that combine to form the total course. Themotivation for a modular structure resides in the fact that students who enroll in off-campuscourses cannot always schedule sufficient contiguous uninterrupted time to allow completion of
