After each of the five conference calls, the student group writes a reflective paperabout what they have learned. This method differs from the traditional case study approachbecause the students do not just read what is written, but can ask initial questions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what is important by the inflection of the mentor’svoice and hearing the mentor convey it in his/her own words.This research is for the purpose of sharing best practice with other instructors and understandingthe key factors to the program’s success.

However, smallperturbations in degree programs strategies of flagship institution can be major problemsfor regional universities because of insufficient resources to quickly adjust for unintendedconsequences of these strategies.

The Agenda reflects the importance of the state’s educational system forleveraging economic development.

of statistical concepts, enhanced by the necessary technical foundations intheory and programming.IntroductionCritical thinking is an important skill for engineering students and is the central theme of ourcourse redesign in one of our core Industrial Engineering (IE) courses. According to philosopherPeter Facione, critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, orcommunication, as a guide to belief and action [4]. In layman’s terms, critical thinking isreflectively thinking through and making decisions about a problem using logic and

They alsolisted the main concepts that they will include in their usability portfolio.Usability Portfolio was the last assignment that students completed by the end of the semester.Students were asked to build an e-portfolio to use as a resource when conducting future usabilitystudies.

Before the next 90 second trial, the groups discuss how their assemblyprocess worked, and what changes they will make in the method and process to improve thethroughput. A second trial is done, with completed cookies counted. A handout is given outwith questions to prompt the teams to reflect about what they learned, how they might applywhat they learned to a manufacturing facility, what equipment would help, and any suggestions.This, then, provides the basis for a class discussion on what Industrial Engineering is, and whatthey have learned from this experiment.At MSU, groups of three to four students are given an assembled Lego motorcycle with enoughparts

. Page 24.808.4 2. Any course that is taken to satisfy required courses or university core requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in IE cannot be used to meet the cognate requirement. This requirement simply ensures students do not attempt to double count credits and then fail to meet the overall degree credit requirements. 3. At least six (6) credits of the cognate must be at the 300-level or above. This requirement ensures that students move beyond superficial topics and obtain some depth in their chosen area of interest. 4. The credits must represent a coherent area of study relevant to some aspect of IE as a discipline or practice. This reflects the very definition of cognate and helps ensure that

Participation in the demographic surveywas voluntary and only eleven students completed and submitted a demographic survey. Thedemographics are reflective of the UTPA student demographics. All students in this course wereHispanic. 55.6% of students reported a family income of $60,000 or less.

Survey: Self-efficacy statements regarding three different aspects of thecourse - statistics, RStudio, and theory - were included in the survey. Since each methodinvolved RStudio and theory, it was crucial to look at each of those measures in thesurvey. Likewise, quality control is part of the statistics curriculum for industrial andsystems engineering so we found it important to include a few statements on statisticsself-efficacy as well.A. Statistics self-efficacy: The survey asked students to reflect on their comfort with statistics as well as their feelings about learning more statistics. Although quality control is a specific type of statistics, we were interested in how the course changes students’ perspectives on statistics in

Disciplinary Grounding: students must have fundamental knowledge from all of the disciplines needed 3. Integration: students must know how to integrate the different worldviews, approaches, and tools used by the different disciplines 4. Critical Awareness: students must be able to reflect on the appropriateness and utility of taking an interdisciplinary approach for a given problem.Students apply for the LEP at East Central State University at the end of their first year and, ifaccepted, are in the program from their sophomore through senior years

The restof the students (that is, more than 77% of the students) solved the problem without addressingthe ethical issues. The reason could be that the problem does not reflect an ethical dilemma forthem. However, and although this is beyond the scope of this paper, this should be an indicatorof us (the engineering education community at large) doing not such a great job in conveying theimportance of ethics to engineering students.

The insensitivity of students’ scores to their knowledge is a major limitation of standardmultiple-choice exams. These exams are not incentive compatible, in that they do not encouragestudents’ responses that reflect their beliefs. A set of scoring rules is needed that encouragesstudents to set their responses equal to their beliefs. Such a class of scoring rules does exist andis discussed next.Strictly Proper Scoring RulesA strictly proper scoring rule T is a scoring function such that the student strictly maximizes herexpected score by setting r = r* = p; that is

The essential and unique point is that learners s must pose, clarify, and define problems,not simply solve them.And, at the same time, learners should practice metacognitive skills such as reflecting on how theyare building these schemes.

Preparing students to understand the social contexts of the technologies theycontribute to, requiring students to define problems by listening to stakeholders, and promptingthem to critically reflect on their work, can all reduce their Saviour Complex and the unintendedconsequences of their designs [19, 20].
