The Minor will be highly informed by best practices for user-centered design,introducing opportunities for self-reflection, trial and error, and action-taking through a student-centered project-based learning approach that recognizes that students are in transition toadulthood. A robust stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to align activities withgoals, involving three undergraduate mentors per year as co-designers and co-facilitators.Although the Minor will be open to all students with basic qualifications, unlike traditional minorsthat require

informaticsmust be designed to cope with a variety of situations that can occur either because of a user’sbackground or due to uncertainties encountered in the physical layout of said user’s workspace.Fourth, the requirements —> design —> implementation —> operation continuum in manycomplex environments is necessarily an iterative process. Effective modeling tools andapproaches can mitigate the risk of inconsistencies across this continuum. Finally, the futurebehaviors of users are likely to be tightly intertwined with future technology advances, and,hence, effective AR systems must integrate the best practices for engaging users in the researchand design of the system. Participatory action research (PAR), for example, prioritizes the

A few of these key areas include engineering identity and mindsets, global competencies, failure culture, first year experiences in engineering, capstone design thinking, integrating service and authentic learning into the engineering classroom, implementing new instructional methodologies, and design optimization using traditional and non-traditional manufacturing. She seeks to identify best practices and develop assess- ments methods that assist in optimizing computing and engineering learning. Dr. Gurganus was one the inaugural

was to combine the skillsets of both art andengineering students- bringing together the best of both worlds. With this in mind, theArts team was mostly responsible for ideation and design of ideas, while theengineering teams led the majority of the practical implementation of the brainstormedideas. Similarly, the survey results showed that the average rating for instructor supportand guidance was 2.5 out of 5. This low score, can be attributed to the nature of designthinking pedagogy where instructor acts as a facilitator and leave students on their ownto explore the whole scope of design and encourage them to work togethercollaboratively. In the open-ended questions, the students showed a high level ofsatisfaction with the selected projects

We start these in thefirst year, first semester, and continue them throughout their years of study. While they are notthrilled about these, they find that putting these experiences on their resumes has resulted in evenrising sophomores receiving offers for data science internships. Returning from their internships,they say: “The first thing they did was put me on a team and assign me an open-ended problem.Then, they had me write something up about it and create and give a

problem finding plays a key role in producing tangible outcomes. Problem finding tasks aremore interesting, engaging, as well as ill-structured, eliciting free associations of ideas [11].Rubenstein et al. found that students who planned to use more elaboration strategies tended toidentify more potential problems and the number of problem identification strategies significantlycorrelated with problem-solving fluency and problem-solving flexibility [12]. This finding haspractical implications for educators of mature students, as it suggests that they should incorporateexercises that promote problem finding skills into their teaching practices. Much recent research addresses the need to improve engineering education. For example, [13-15] discuss

The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines. We also encourage students to take Liberal

, job shadowing programs still exist and have been documentedin the literature.In engineering, most job shadowing experience is in connection with industry. Job shadowingprograms have been found to have impacts on student career trajectories. Engineering programsare expected to help students find internships and job shadowing opportunities in industry becauseit is considered a best practice for students to have this experience early in their careers [3]. Whenpaired with a near-peer mentor and participating in a job shadowing experience, research showsthat there is a positive impact on student retention in STEM programs [4].Many different aspects can influence a successful job shadowing program. As in the definition,job shadowing should involve

Our research questions (‘RQs’)for this paper are as follows:1. Can the MGUDS-S assessment tool be used to investigate weaknesses in the current design and format of the online gPBL programs?2. Do MGUDS-S scores actually have a stronger correlation with students’ ‘self-described’ satisfaction than the traditional ‘how would you rate this course out of 5’ Likert-scale satisfaction questions?3.
