Her award citation read ”for outstanding research into how early experiences can lead children to pursue engineering later in life and for working with teach- ers from diverse schools to develop new teaching materials and methods that can help students become innovative and more technologically literate.” The PECASE is ”the highest honor bestowed by the US Government on Science and Engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research career.” Dr Evangelou’s research group is actively involved in research into early childhood antecedents of engineering thinking, developmental factors in

Several questions also probed students' beliefs about the nature ofscience and engineering and the ability of science & technology to impact the world. Using Page 23.438.5exploratory factor analysis, some of these items were combined into a pair of measures ofagency: global science agency (beliefs in the ability of science & engineering to change theworld in a global sense) and personal science agency (beliefs in science & engineering to

post-tests covering conceptual information, and researcher field noteswere used as the primary sources of data. From these data, themes were identified, and actionswere taken to address each of these feedback themes to better correspond to the learning goalsidentified for the lesson.IntroductionThe face of science, engineering, and technology is rapidly changing. The biggest trends are alsothe smallest, as nano-scale phenomena prove to be more and more important in a wide range ofapplications. However, we still have yet to include these nano-scale phenomena in oursecondary science curricula, leaving students unprepared to enter important careers innanoscience, engineering, and technology.Professional development efforts are one way to combat
-based work already existed within the course, so it merely had to be adapted to meet CxCrequirements.In 2006, the CxC Faculty Institute hosted 33 faculty participants, with engineering facultycomprising the majority. The focus of the 2006 Summer Institute was on assessment strategiesin the four communications modes: oral, written, visual, and technological. Not only didparticipants explore assessment strategies and rubric design, they also learned ways to integrateiterative assessment effectively throughout the course of a project and a semester.Engineering Communication Studio.

Technology (ABET) (2006) adapted two cognitivemodels for incorporation into engineering classrooms. Incorporation of Bloom’s taxonomy and amodification of the Kolb Learning Cycle were necessary to show alignment with ABET criteria.The 2006 ABET Criteria marked a decisive change in the direction of engineering education.While earlier calls for change were in the form of recommendations, the ABET criteriarepresented a requirement for continued accreditation. This joined with the specific talents andrecognition engineer educators bring to the incorporation of cognitive science in the classroomand the relative newness of the subject matter, make this a productive area of study.The purpose of this study is to synthesize, through a meta-analysis study
. Results of this important metricwere compared to students’ course grades, engineering efficacy and outcomes-based academicprogram success. Results of this research indicate that engineering students who were mostglobally prepared were also most efficacious and received higher grades in courses. Additionally,diversity in preparedness among the subscales of the index was noted, suggesting that studentswith diverse demographic profiles have diverse preparedness indices.Keywords: Global, global preparedness, engineering education, preparation for globalworkforcesIntroduction We live in an era with unprecedented changes due to dramatic advances in technology onmany fronts.

design problems in engineering education. Inparticular, do we think we know what the design problems are and simply need to address whatdesigners before us have discovered? Have we finished finding the design problems or are wejust starting? In the field of HCI, those grappling with this question note that since our world issocially constructed, and that designers contribute technologies that change the sociallyconstructed nature of the world, then the design problems never go away. There are always newdesign problems emerging. We ascribe to this latter view and believe that we are only juststarting to see the kinds of design problems that we need to address in order to advanceengineering education. If this view is indeed the case, RtD will be a
