Paper ID #15487The Charles Sturt University Model - Reflections on Fast-track Implementa-tionProf. Euan Lindsay, Charles Sturt University Professor Euan Lindsay is a Mechatronic engineer, a discipline that integrates computers, electronics and physical hardware. Prof Lindsay’s PhD investigated whether remote and simulated access alternatives to the traditional in-person laboratory experience could provide the same learning outcomes for students. Prof Lindsay’s work in Remote and Virtual laboratory classes has shown that there are significant differ- ences not only in students’ learning outcomes but also in their

While internships have been studied invarious disciplines, few studies have tried to understand how civil engineeringstudents demonstrate their learning behaviors during an internship. Previousstudies used Kolb’s experiential learning model as a theoretical framework toexplore students’ learning styles as part of an internship experience. This studyextends the use of Kolb’s model as a theoretical framework by focusing on civilengineering students to examine their internship experiences and apparentpatterns of learning styles. Kolb’s experiential learning theory involves fourlearning modes: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstractconceptualization, active experimentation; and four

Additionally, the reflective writingassignment revealed students' awareness of various issues, including operational and economicimpacts on operators and users.

This paper describes the design and assessment of a service-learning module in arequired junior-level course in probability and statistics for engineering students at a large publicuniversity, which typically enrolls 90-100 students. This course is ideal for service learningbecause students struggle with the material, complaining it is “too theoretical”, and can feelanonymous in a large lecture course. Yet, there are few examples of how to successfullyintegrate service-learning ideas, including reflection activities, into a high-enrollment course thattraditionally focuses heavily on quantitative fundamentals.This paper details the design, student work

This paper focuses on the integration of intercultural competence in thecontext of developing future engineers who have both the skill set and mindset to understandengineering projects and services within a “global context”. Central to this goal is a baselineunderstanding of intercultural learning theory which is briefly delineated from a theoreticalperspective. The course is then examined as a case study.

Further, expanding racial (and gender) representation of engineering faculty hasbecome a top priority in many engineering colleges and departments across the country. Despitethe best intentions, many organizations have failed to reflect societal demographics within theirfaculty ranks. Techniques and strategies exist to recruit candidates from traditionallyunderrepresented groups, yet the full participation of these groups has not been achieved [6].It is clear that the engineering programs within higher education must improve their teachingapproaches to address issues of diversity

The dilemma was presented in an inquiry-based fashion for Group Aand required that they share their thoughts about the dilemma. Group B, on the other hand wasjust presented with the dilemma and not asked to comment on it. Both groups were asked toreflect on Owl’s Solution at the end of each week or Concept. Figure 10 shows the percentage oflearners in each group who reflected on Owl’s Solution. Group A learners were consistentlymore likely to reflect on Owl’s Solution than Group B learners. In weeks 5 and 6, 12.9% and15.4% more learners from Group A reflected on Owl’s Solution than learners from Group B.This indicates that Group A learners were more engaged with

Simplystated by Harold Hongju Koh, “Theory without practice is as lifeless as practice without theory isthoughtless 15.”It is well researched and documented that problem based learning is well suited for engineeringprograms for students to engage in complex, ill-suited, and open-ended problems to fosterflexible thinking and support intrinsic motivation 16.

Who makes up the CIT-E CoP, and how does it reflect the demographics of CEE faculty? 2. To what extent is the model course being used, and by whom? Why? Which lessons are being accessed the most? 3. What skills have faculty members gained from their association with CIT-E, and has it made a meaningful impact on faculty professional networks? 4.

professional engineers were very confident in their ability to listen toothers, while engineering students rated themselves proficient at listening to others [5].However, the extent that these self-perceptions reflect reality is unclear. In general, listeningreceives almost no attention in formal engineering education [4, p. 529]. For example, listeningwas characterized as the weakest component among the communication skills within anelectrical engineering curriculum [6].Listening can be linked with a number of the 21 outcomes in the ASCE Civil Engineering Bodyof Knowledge 3 (BOK3, [7]), including all 6 of the professional outcomes and 3 of the 7technical outcomes; proposed links are shown in Figure 1.Figure 1.
