ABET6.Our undergraduate program strives to produce engineers who are a step ahead of their peers andhave begun to look beyond entry-level jobs. Our primary goals are to improve the educationalprocess outside the classroom and to encourage students to take a more active role in their ownpersonal and curricular development. In order to connect student activities and abilities to theobjectives of our overall program, we established a set of “six tools” that we feel are essential forgraduates to become successful engineers. Further, we would like to implement a project thatencourages our students to make connections among their curricular options and between theirstudents and extracurricular pursuits. Another goal is to add to the department’s

Thus students can, through a simple programminglanguage, become knowledgeable about objects and object properties including graphics. Theycan write custom functions and create libraries (for example to queuing formulas). They canbuild graphical user interfaces of forms and windows that accept data, import files and provideconvenient navigation for the acquisition of data and the presentation of summaries, so importantto decision support systems.Because VBA is generally

The numerical results indicatethat the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of themindset objectives.

The perspectives shared bystudents show that innovation is a very hard thing to teach; it requires laying a solid foundation,supporting engagement, and fostering intrinsic motivation.This model may not work with all students.

. The forums ofMOOCs represent a possible focal point for learners, providing a venue for tens of thousands ofindividuals to share ideas and insights around a common topic. In terms of learner intent, somelearners might be motivated solely by the availability of thousands of peers in a singlecommunity, and have no intentions to complete any of the course assignments. While thisappears to be a plausible reason to enroll in a MOOC, very little is known about how forumswith up to 100,000 students provide value to learners.To date, most research examining MOOC forums focus on the frequency of use and studentresponses to survey questions about the experience of using MOOC forums.

Students benefit also from the chance to teach others during the session. All students have access to informal discussion time with the instructor, who can move from group to group answering questions and making sure that individual students are actually learning for themselves. Indeed, the peer pressure from other students is expected to help enforce an environment of mutual collaboration based on being properly prepared.
