subjectmatter of the course, and reciprocity with the community partner. The approach of S-L, with itsroots in experiential learning, is consistent with the theories and empirical research of a numberof leading educators and developmental psychologists, as documented by Jacoby (Jacoby, 1996).The approach is also consistent with the relatively recent change in paradigm in education from afocus on teaching to a focus on learning (Bradenberger, 1998).More recently, Astin’s group reported that its 2007-2008 survey of over 12,000 full time facultymembers at 379 institutions that the percentage of faculty who found it “very important” or“essential” to encourage commitment to community service rose 19 percent compared to 2004-05 (55.5 % vs. 36.4 %), the
intendedmeaning of each dimension would be measured. Based on the difficulties measuring costreported in prior work,20-23 cost items were generated along two different types of cost, task effortcost (i.e., time spent) and emotional/psychological cost,21 to increase the likelihood of producinga factor measuring some aspect of cost. All STV items were displayed as a single scale whichasked respondents, “Please indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree to the followingstatements about your first position after graduating with your bachelor’s degree(s),” on a five-point Likert (bipolar) scale, from 0=“strongly disagree” to 4=“strongly agree”. Nunnally andBernstein26 recommend the use of Likert scales because they are easy to create, produce

The FRAM consists of four steps: (1) functionidentification and description, (2) variability identification, (3) variability aggregation, and (4)control mechanism identification [25]. The functions that comprise each model, identified anddefined in the first step, represent all actions that occur within the system. Each function ischaracterized by up to six factors: input(s), output(s), precondition(s), resource(s) or executivecondition(s), control(s), and time. A function may be a foreground function if it is the primaryprocess of concern or a background function if it affects the process but is not directly involved.The first three

(2) Wecould not interview students, so all results are based on students’ reflections of teamwork. Futurework should explore this further with control groups to better identify if it is online instructionthat lends itself to improved teamwork.References[1] K. S. Koong, L. C. Liu, and X.

, as such, we do not work to account forstudent variation in student responses to the interview in terms of the teacher differences.The interviews were semi-structured: interviewers were given a set of themes on which to focusand sample questions. The expectation was that interviewers would engage in a conversationwith the interviewee in which they worked to elicit student’s thoughts about 5 focal themes. Asa result, we consider the interviews a “negotiated text” 4 (p. 663) that was co-constructed throughthe conversation of the interviewer and interviewee(s). For the purpose of this paper, we focuson 2 thematic categories, including: 1. What is the student’s understanding of the engineering design process? 2. What STEM concepts did the

In the sameway our intuition tells us that the chemical word Fe can not be broken down into anymeaningful parts. In contrast, the word Fe(s) seems to be made up of two parts: the word Feplus an additional element (s), wich indicates the solid state of aggregation.Inflectional versus derivative morphemes‘Tree’, ‘eat’ and ‘Fe’ are called free morphemes; while ‘–s’, ‘-ing’ and ‘(s)’ are calledbound morphemes. Two or more morphemes in combination give a complex morpheme (acomplex word).Bound morphemes can be inflectional morphemes as in the above
. This individual treatment of engineering competencies was also reflected in thetreatment of the ABET learning outcomes at the onset of their accreditation changes to outcomes-basedassessment. For example, in an unpublished review of the Journal of Engineering Education from2006-2011 conducted by the first author to explore publications on the teaching and assessing of theengineering ‘professional skills’ (e.g., teamwork, communication skills, ethics, professionalism, andlifelong learning) in response to Shuman et al.’s 2005 article3, 11 out of the 12 articles that met thecriteria focused exclusively on one or two student outcomes4-15. During this time period, there were noarticles published in this journal that considered the conceptual or
higher education for ways to use data for improving teaching andlearning, new fields such as educational data mining and learning analytics have emerged. Thesefields can support the development of engineering-specific theories of learning and thecharacterization of different aspects of learning processes at the level of individuals, groups, andinstitutions.References:1.
