While this will touch on some best practices for using clickers, the focus isnot upon convincing instructors how to adopt or improve clicker usage. Much of the authors’prior experience with clickers has been in courses with a large quantitative component. Thispaper discusses the authors’ findings from their first application of clickers in a mainlyqualitative course. The results are consistent with previous results indicating that clickers are

Assessment of student learning wasevaluated through the university’s student evaluation of teaching (SET) surveys, through twoquiz questions, and through an instructor provided single question survey, asking the students,“How did this course change your life?” Some key findings from the student survey included:“This course creates a vision of our personal growth. It is a complete overall course on life, itscharacteristics, other managerial skills and last but not the least it encourages you to be a goodleader.

This delivery method istypically termed Hy-Flex and is an instructional approach very familiar to one of the authors.The course was assigned a classroom with a standard capacity of 100 students, but distancingrestrictions in place for the semester required that no more than 25 students participate in thephysical classroom at one time. Therefore, if students were scheduled to attend alternately inperson, each student would be able to attend one in-person class session every two weeks(equating to approximately seven total per semester). Further, all students and faculty enteringthe classroom were required to always wear masks and maintain a distance of at least six feetfrom one another.Given the classroom

This reinforces the learningachieved early in the program as students proceed through the course of study. As an example,the Project and Operations Management course includes 2 modules taught in the first semester, 1in the second semester, and 1 in the fourth semester. Although different instructors may teachmodules in a particular course, the faculty enforces quality control; each course has a singular“course director”. Each semester, faculty members meet to discuss common projects, integration,and overlap of modules

The contextualinterplay in which we apply our theoretical lenses is directly related to types of practice andinnovation to emerge [25, 26]. Further, integrating our context of practice and theoretical basis atthe outset supports the decision-making processes of individuals working in the field [5, 26].Thus, this section begins by illustrating the use of each of our four lenses in the context ofengineering education.

second research questionFor the second research question, faculty and industry acceptance of smaller lathes as viablealternatives to their industrial size cousins was explored. The ability of the smaller bench-toplathes to perform accurate work was explored in the pilot study. It would appear, based on theresults from this limited pilot study, that both the bench-top and the industrial lathes are capableof producing test bushings within the specified .005” tolerance range. It should be noted,however, that this pilot study was the result of tests done by only two graduate students, and anexpanded study utilizing a much larger cross section of technology students would be necessaryto determine whether the initial findings could be replicated

Leadership is increasingly being recognized as an interactive process that takes place between members of an organization. It is not simply a skill employed by a person in a position of power within an organization.

ASEM has takensignificant ownership for the future direction of EM through a certification process thatstandardizes a quality EM program. Currently, the purpose is different from an undergraduateABET accreditation in that this certification intends to direct the development of new andexisting programs, in addition to recognizing quality programs. The certification processconsists of four requirement areas: faculty, curriculum, student admission and support, andadministrative support.Of the four areas, only the curriculum requirements are reviewed here because we are
