teachingcommunication are geared towards small class sizes and are difficult to adjust for large groups ofstudents. Directly scaling this approach would require a large number of qualified instructors—i.e., to support and assess students' communication activities—at a significant cost. Someresearchers have addressed these problems by developing online writing centers, resources andtutorials for communication skills4-7 .Online peer tutoring has also been suggested as a potentialapproach8. However, these efforts are still new and further investigations are necessary.Despite the increasing efforts, a large scale survey by Reave9 found that there is still a “large gapbetween the workplace needs and graduating engineers’ communication skills.” Based onReave’s work

. Page 26.1763.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Work-in-Progress: Conflict-Driven Cooperative-Learning in Engineering Courses Abstract Conflict and cooperation would seem to be ideas that are diametrically opposed to each other. But, in fact, classic work by Piaget on how children and adults learn shows that when learners engage with peers in critical discussion of ideas concerning which they have different understandings, that contributes very effectively to learners developing deep understanding of the concepts involved. At the same time, getting students in undergraduate engineering

One student volunteered to be blindfolded and two studentsvolunteered to give instructions. The blindfolded student had the objective of traveling from oneside of the room to the other side based purely on the instructions of his/her peers. This exerciseemphasized the level of precision necessary to describe a sequence of steps.Standardized Test Preparation: System of Equations The students were given a pair of linear equations and instructed to solve for the unknownvariables using an algorithmic approach.

The idea andmotivation behind the tool is to facilitate the method of Peer Instruction in a programming class.The instructor can create programming assignments and test cases built around expectedmisconceptions in order to observe student problems during class in real time so as to directly beable to address these. PCRS is written in Python and is designed for the Python programminglanguage.

experiential learning [19]. The keywordsfrom this cycle are shown within parentheses in Figure 1. FIGURE 1. KOLB EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING CYCLE WITH GREENWAY’S KEYWORDSThe concrete experience stage is used to engage students in performing some sort of activitywhere they apply their ideas and skills. Experiences from activities generate facts – the events,moments, and details associated with the activity. Next, the reflective observation stageencourages students to reflect on their experiences through mechanisms such as self-evaluation,peer discussion, and instructor feedback. Reflections generate feelings, an assessment of theexperience from various modes of input. During the abstract conceptualization stage, studentsintegrate their

. Experimental activity took place from Week 11 to Week 17. Duringthat time, in the first half of the classes, the teacher lectured in classroom and then conductedreading and discussion sessions. Students were asked to read individually and then discusstheir reading with peers. That is, students learned course related knowledge and also shared itwith other; in this way their reading comprehension and professional knowledge acquisitioncould be enhanced. In reading discussion activity, group B students recorded their notes andannotations by hand writing. Group E students could use the system to read learning materialand take digital annotations on learning content. Thus, the system recorded learning behaviorand operational processes of students in group E

This is the period when students are expected to form teams for the CapstoneDesign course so that they can begin writing and submitting bids for various projects of interest.By gauging the mutual interest of other students in various projects as well as seeing whether theyhave complementary skill sets, students can reach out to these students via alternative means suchas email or in-person to discuss opportunities for team building and formation.Finally, as a team, students submit bids for projects they are interested in and assign a priorityrank for each of their bids, which ranks their willingness to take on a particular project.

If no alternate time could be scheduled, the student would bethanked for their time but no interview would occur. Students were informed of this plan (and itsreasoning) both in writing and verbally before they signed up. In the case of this semester ofinterviews, all 12 students who signed up were able to be accommodated.Demographic information of the 25 recruited participants can be seen in Table 1.

Nearly all students (96%) providedfavorable ratings about the trustworthiness of the video library and most students trusted the MEOnline videos more than other videos available online. They were particularly happy whenfinding videos by their favorite instructors who were clear, engaging, and knowledgeable. Moststudents plan on using ME Online as alumni for both professional and personal reasons – 88% ofthe students reported they expect to use ME Online to study for licensing exams, graduate schoolwork, professional work, and/or just to learn new things.The study also explores the potential for video libraries like ME Online to help addressachievement gaps among historically disadvantaged
