mustfit the criteria established by the constraints of the system. Impractical solutions are notentertained other than to remove them from consideration. Continual reflection (e.g., “Am Icloser to solving the problem?”) guides all the remaining considerations. Pragmatism is forward-looking (what can and should be done) rather than focused on exploring the past. In this way, thepragmatic approach is direct and actionable; practitioners seek a direction and justification to thenext steps one should take.The theoretical frameworks most suited to the Lean LaunchPad®/Customer Discovery processare action research and design-based research (DBR).

Consequently, the first step in creating this tinkering and technicalself-efficacy instrument was to survey experts in the field of engineering. The experts consistedof a volunteer sample of engineering faculty, students, and practicing engineers, who aremembers of ASEE. There were a total of 101 respondents (71 members of ASEE, 24 engineeringstudents in a design course at a large university located in the southwest, and 6 engineeringfaculty at the same institution). The gender composition of the ASEE experts is unknown butthere were two females in the ASU faculty group and four female engineering students.

. Where questions about educational missionand values are skipped over, assessment threatens to be an exercise in measuring what'seasy, rather than a process of improving what we really care about.2. Assessment is most effective when it reflects an understanding of learning asmultidimensional, integrated, and revealed in performance over time. Learning is acomplex process. It entails not only what students know but what they can do with whatthey know; it involves not only knowledge and abilities but values, attitudes, and habits Page 12.289.5of mind that affect both academic success and performance beyond the classroom.Assessment should reflect these

emergence of new global cultural forms, media, and technologies ofcommunication, the relations of affiliation, identity, and interaction within and acrosslocal cultural settings have been reshaped, which is termed globalization (Burbules &Torres, 2000)[6]. Although globalization in education is highly recognized and upheld byscholars and educators, the target needs of students in global education courses are stillseen as content and language focused. The experiences, beliefs, and cultural expectationsof students from a variety of backgrounds are not yet reflected in the pedagogy andevaluation practices (Pincas, 2001)[27].

This pattern of correlation coefficients suggests that Construct M2 is representing a latenttrait that may not be reflected in engineering coursework. Further, the pattern of results is differentthan that observed for Construct M1. We did compute the Pearson correlation coefficient forscores representing both M1 and M2.

Complexquestions feature “a community” as a crucial element of study, and reflect activities within asocial environment. Different people can answer these very open-ended questions differently.Moreover, complex questions connect together with other questions. Indeed, the benefit toconducting

In addition,this paper uses the answers to these questions to comment on the educational significance ofwriting effective annotations.IntroductionBecause research tells us that “experience alone is a poor teacher,” [1] the engineering educationcommunity is exploring activities that can support the student’s making meaning (and learning)from their experiences. Recently, much attention has been devoted to having students constructportfolios—collections of artifacts, possibly annotated, put together to tell a story and/or supporta set of claims. Such portfolios can provide students with an opportunity to reflect on theirexperiences, share their experiences with others, and see experiences as a building block forfuture

This adjustment weighted cases based on the population and response distributions by gender, discipline, and race/ethnicity within an institution as well as varying response rates of a campus so that the sample reflected the overall population of undergraduate engineers from the sample of institutions.

While some recent work hasexplored stress and mental health indicators of engineering undergraduates, comparisons of suchindicators across disciplines are scarce.

instead of being passivelisteners. Active learning is defined in [13] as “any instructional method that engages students inthe learning process.” The motivation comes from educational experience when students dealwith active learning and reflection [14-15]. However, traditional engineering education involveslistening to lectures, completing homework, taking exams, and receiving feedback after gradingis done. This education model may adversely affect the students’ active participation.The utilization of information and communication technologies in engineering education canallow students to be active learners by letting them control how, when, and where they studydepending on their learning needs and styles [16]. Therefore, engineering education
