Instructor Implements Project-Based Learning 1. Introduction & Objectives In the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba, Canada, a novice instructor with more than a decade of industry experience in consulting engineering practice re-designed a third-year structural engineering design course around a project- based instructional method. The impetus for changing the course was twofold: his own industry experience that drove his desire to educate students with the engineering knowledge and skills, and foster in them the engineering mind-set to succeed in industry; as well as the fact that the structural course that he was charged with teaching had

assign students a B if they simply complete the assignment and then I assign higher grades based on a loose definition in my mind of the “thoughtfulness” of the reflection. Since the interview I have been wondering if this is an appropriate metric for grading and whether I should grade the reflections at all. It would be wonderful to remove the extrinsic motivation of grades from the equation and have students reflect simply from the desire to improve themselves as people and as engineers. However, I worry that many students will not put the energy and thought into reflections if there is not a grade attached to it. Perhaps I will have to experiment with this in the future.

research and study directly. While most engineering educatorsacknowledge that they make some explicit decisions, most of their decisions are invisible andunspoken. As researchers, we cannot “see” or “witness” a decision, and therefore must inferfrom observable behavior or participants’ self-reported comments that a decision has been made.The study of the decision-making process is also made more difficult by the ephemeral nature ofdecisions which happen quickly in people’s minds. The challenges related to conducting researchabout making decisions may have contributed to the paucity of studies that examine teacherthinking and teacher decision-making in higher education.Although little has been published regarding teaching decisions within the

course size either does or does not affect course grades, the researchers leftthis question unanswered in the literature. In order to address this question, we opened thequestion to present the answers to the community at large. While the topic of engineering grades remains an important one to our community,[2-9] itcould be easily argued that the subject of the effect of class size on grades is even moreuniversally debated – both outside [10-13] and within the sphere of higher education.[14, 15] Somestudies actually shirk the question of the effect of class size on grades altogether and opt to probeclass size’s effect on teacher evaluations![16] More general and historically-minded reviews of thesubject in higher education are beyond the

difficulty in writing items for the ICAP framework was designing items thatcould be used across all STEM disciplines. The item writers hoped that if the SCAEI couldmeasure across science, engineering, and mathematics classrooms, it could begin to describedifferences between STEM classrooms in terms of how students self-perceive the frequency ofclassroom activities. However, given the diverse disciplinary focuses across the STEMdisciplines, it was a challenge to ensure that all discipline specific habits of mind were addressedby the SCAEI. To address this challenge, the item writers had collective disciplinary expertise inscience, engineering, and mathematics.Methods to Initially Assess the SCAEIIt is important to note that instrument development
