Education, 2016 Effective building and development of student teamwork using personality types in engineering coursesAbstractEngineers have a high calling of contributing to the betterment of humanity. Engineering projectshave become more complicated in recent years. One solution to solving complex problems andworking on engineering projects is team building. Competent and effective team buildingrequires time and effort in the workplace or school. To best prepare students to meet theengineering profession’s demands and the needs of experienced professionals, teamwork andteam building need to be taught in the educational system. Teamwork is also a necessarycomponent of an engineering education. This paper presents

To illustrate, sometimes an idea stews for a good while in the form of an initial concepton which a team of colleagues continues to ponder and explore a direction for a particular topic andthe viability of the project. Conversations through collaborative interaction, among team members,are critical in bringing the most effective articulation of proposal pieces, and the multitude of pointsof views, from a collaborating team, enable a powerful array of avenues in building to the mostcompetitive proposal: in short, a group genius approach is far more productive than a solo centeredmodel. For example, the working group may have continual conversations, read, try things in thelab, ponder and pilot aspects of the work, etc., before even

systematic way of thinking havealso been used – leading to student performance being measured by project results [7] [16]. Thismethod of learning is beneficial in face-to-face situations where students may engage in groupactivities. But it becomes more challenging to replicate in online courses. There is evidence thatthe CIQ is widely used in various levels of education [5, p. 177], but there is only limitedevidence of how the CIQ is used in engineering online teaching environments. Keefer describesthe pedagogical value of this type of research: “We want to better understand the experiences and perceptions of the student learners, for the more we can understand them, the more we can teach in ways that may meet their needs” [5

Herpipeline includes the following categories: conceiving new ideas, draft proposals, proposalsunder review, data collection, data analysis, manuscripts in draft form, almost ready forsubmission, manuscripts under review, in revisions, revisions under review, and inpress/published. She suggests that candidates regularly check where projects are in this pipelineto prevent stagnation and holdups. She also suggests keeping projects distributed along thepipeline.I personally use Google Drive for storing data

The goal of this five-year project is to build a culture that fostersstudents’ engineering identities. Many changes have been made to the curriculum and coursesthroughout the curriculum so students could experience real-world engineering with practicingengineers. Engineering design courses for senior design projects provide students not only theopportunity to work with industry engineers on real-world design problems, but also thepossibilities to learn the highest level of professionalism. In the past couple of years, notablechanges in Engineering Design courses include using

These philosophies were correlated tofive teaching styles: expert (who is interested in knowledge transfer), formal authority (whonever hesitate to give negative feedback), personal (who encourages students to follow theirway), facilitator (who present alternative and encourage students to take the initiative andresponsibility to construct knowledge), and delegator (who expects students to studyindependently in projects). Saritas argued that teachers mostly adapt a facilitator teaching styleand prefer experimentalist philosophy [12].Typically, we develop TPS with administrators and promotion committees in mind. However,Brinthaupt et al. debated that there is an exclusion of the students’ feedback in

Alearner-centered approach requires that students are engaged and become responsible for theirown learning process and that the instructor becomes a facilitator of their learning, instead ofbeing the center of their learning process. When I taught using the flipped-classroom learningenvironment, my students watched videos outside of the classroom and took online quizzes totest their understanding. In the classroom, students applied their learning by completingindividual or team activities and projects, with my guidance, on their own chosen topics ofinterest.The main problemThe main problem when you transition from one paradigm to another is that, as explained at thebeginning, your expertise and previous success in one paradigm, does

In fact, implicit biases can directly conflict with our explicitly held beliefs.This makes implicit bias a sensitive subject by nature.To introduce students to common implicit biases and spark reflection on their own potentialimplicit biases, each student takes an online Implicit Bias Assessment from Project Implicitdesigned at Harvard University [15]. This is done in class, and each student is given an implicitbias worksheet to guide their reflection and keep them engaged in the process. This worksheetincludes questions such as: (1) What assessment did you choose to take?; (2) Without sharingyour results [to protect student privacy and avoid discomfort on this sensitive topic], did yourresults surprise you at all?; (3) Based on your

The short- and mid-term outcomes of this project to develop abroader awareness on campus of alternative teaching strategies for STEM classrooms andincrease comfort level in using alternative teaching strategies, such as active learning, wasachieved. Participants demonstrated alternative teaching strategies in their individual short peerreviewed teaching demonstrations. However, the goals to develop relationships and increasecommunication between the multiple STEM departments at SUU were less successful. The post-survey data is somewhat contradictory. The lowest Likert-scale numbers indicate that some ofthe participants are less likely to follow-up with the peers they met at the

Is such a numerical marker valuable to a learner in reflecting on their progress andaccumulated knowledge? The broad answer to such questions is that points are largely arbitrary,varying wildly in meaning across institutions, courses, or even across assignments.Trends in pedagogy have shifted strongly in the direction of more experiential, authentic learningactivities such as project-based and active learning. As the nature of the classroom activity haschanged, important questions have been raised about the efficacy of traditional grading schemes.Separation has been observed between course objectives and assessment practices, and theability of the

In fact, modern expectancy-value theories argue that individuals' choice, persistenceand performance can be explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activityand the extent to which they value the activity [9, 10]. For example, a student chooses to engagewith different course materials because they believe it will increase their performance or overallunderstanding. Likewise, interest in a topic and empowerment to make choices in their learningengagement can determine whether or not a student performs well in a course. To betterunderstand the expected value of different course materials, the project leveraged a popular,validated survey methodology known as the MUSIC Inventory. The MUSIC Inventory measuresthe five
