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 the new material and the language itself. Interestingly, this is resonant withthe challenge of learning to program a computer (learners must master operating systems and thesyntax) for students not in the computer science major. CLT can mitigate challenges in suchcases when learning loads are high. CLT was used to re-design a computer programming classfor mechanical engineers at San Diego State University. According to CLT, information can only be stored in long
by outside sources, referencetags were created. The reader is calibrated with the reference tags via their signal timings andstrength. The three readers then mark the time when the signal is received back from the tags,and the time when the illumination signal was sent to the tag. A single master reader sends theillumination signal while all three synchronized readers read the signal from actual tags. The tagdata captured by the readers is sent back to the server where the user is logged on. Coordinatesare calculated by the server (this process involves triangulation and probability analysis), andstored in the database. The readers update the database on a user specified interval. The userlogged onto the website can now initiate a simple

Students (teachers) learn some of the mathematics andphysical principles behind each model, together with lesson plans for the use of each model inK-12 classrooms. The plans include a correlation to the local, state, and national curriculum. Amanual is being prepared, which includes the engineering and mathematical descriptions of themodels as well as the lesson plans.An earlier presentation1 provided an overview of the teacher class and lesson plans.

As the student progressed toward graduation,his composite scores for all factors increased or remained the same except for his perception ofsense of community at the university level, which decreased. The student’s survey responses atboth time points revealed a very low sense of belonging at the university, department, and courselevels. Based on his goal orientation factor scores, he had a strong desire to master coursematerials (mastery approach) but was not motivated by the achievement of good grades(performance approach) or the ability to navigate a course with minimal work (work avoidance).He indicated an intrinsic desire to master coursework, which was further substantiated by hishigh level of conscientiousness

While transforming our current graduate courses into research and innovation-oriented courses, we also documented our experiences and developed guiding materials tofacilitate the application of the learning
research [30].Indeed, doctoral students who receive constructive feedback and regular encouragement fromtheir advisor have been shown to have improved dissertation skills, which are essential to theirfinal progress and completion of their degree [23]. The same has been found in relation to thestudents’ beliefs on their own research-related abilities at both the masters and doctoral levels,where advisor support has been linked to the development of their research self-efficacy [4],[30]. However, while the work on research self-efficacy is informative, self-efficacy is not aglobal trait, but is rather linked to particular domains of performance [1], [31], [32], and thus ameasure of a students’ self-efficacy towards the writing of their dissertation

. 74.1 Lecture: Interactive MATLAB live script is incorporatedLinear Algebra is extensively abstract. In a typical traditional class, students are easily getconfused by various concepts since they could not actually ’see’ them or connect them withlife, hence it is very common for them to get distracted in the classroom settings. SomeStudents might need to spend much more time after the class to master the concepts, whilesome others might struggle with them for a long time. In addition, it happens very oftenthat students keep asking ‘what they are’ even they can solve problems related with suchconcepts mathematically. In CALM, MATLAB live script is written prior to the class by theauthor to visualize such abstract concepts, so that students
injustices built into our school.” Our traditional grading practices communicateto students that “mistakes are unwanted, unhelpful, and punished” [1, p. 12]. Few college facultyhave received formal training in grading approaches that could lead to demonstrable studentmastery learning and are expected to adopt traditional point-based grading schemes. Traditionalgrading schemes encourage students to adopt a strategy of “grade-grubbing,” which promotesstrategies of earning enough partial credits to pass the course, requesting extra credit to obtain aspecific grade, protesting “unfair” grades, etc. [2]. Yet, the “grade-grubbing” strategy does notmotivate student learning or inspire a goal orientation towards mastering the course content, andit undercuts

ofmastering themselves against external manipulation [9], of mastering inherited knowledge fromprevious generations [10], and of expanding their mastery to solve the problems of the future[11]. Ultimately, the goal of every educator should be to see students increase in trueunderstanding. “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will belike his teacher” [12] requiring the teacher to be “the kind of person the students want to becomelike” [6].So how can engineering educators respond to this challenge? Far too often, the first step is tocomplain: students are unmotivated, fellow faculty are focused on research, COVID has madeeverything worse, etc. Alternatively, engineer educators seek to make their teaching

Middle School is one of the more challenging jobs ineducation today. Many of the students have already developed an attitude of “I’m nevergoing to use this, so why should I learn it.” It is no wonder that only about 10%2 ofstudents in collegiate Engineering and Technology programs are minority when many ofthese students have chosen not to master the basic mathematics skills while in MiddleSchool. This problem is even worse when dealing with minority females, because only20% of engineering students are women3, and female graduates comprise only 8.5% ofpracticing engineers1. So, minorities and women are both significantly underrepresentedin Engineering and Technology programs. The authors have had unique opportunities towork with students who fall
