With this in mind, new faculty in particular should be concerned Page 26.1727.2about these student perceptions and preferences – they will drive important factors such asmotivation and willingness to work hard for an unknown professor5,6.One of the first (and daunting) tasks of a new educator is the planning of a course. It is temptingto sit down and create one’s syllabus in a linear manner, only considering the content at hand andthe calendar of the term. However, to have a truly successful course, the educator shouldapproach this task as a design task – one is designing

For any value of a the origin is an equilibrium point. Itseigenvalue is equal to a, so it is stable for a < 0 and unstable for a > 0. For a > 0 there aretwo equilibrium points at ±√a. Both these equilibrium points have eigenvalue −2a so theequilibrium points are stable. A bifurcation occurs at a = 0 since at this value, theequilibrium point at the origin changes its stability type and two new equilibrium pointsare created. Hence it is called a

Forinstance, in such research conducted in an elementary school, we see how students are able toidentify and frame engineering problems in their own school that affect the students, and alsothat even young students can make predictions and plan testing of their prototypes when they aredesigning with contexts they understand in mind [76]. And in research conducted using a gamein which girls role-played as mechanical engineers, the girls developed engineering skills andknowledge, and these were particularly supported by having a client and reflecting on progress ina notebook [10

College.On the faculty side during this same period, additional damaging biases were revealed wheninstructors would mention in passing that they had a certain number of GS students enrolled intheir courses. When questioned further, these instructors would explain that they assumedstudents of certain ethnicities were part of the GS program, simply based on their physicalappearance instead of any actual knowledge of their affiliation with the program.The Dean of the College, in his strategic plan, said he intended to grow the program in an effortto increase the representation of diverse students.

A more formal method of communicating team experimental plans (eithervia a short written description or an in-person meeting with the instructors) could go a long wayto ameliorating these issues in future versions of the course.Conclusions and Future WorkThe revision of a unit operations laboratory course to be more open-ended and focus on technicalcommunication resulted in many positive outcomes: increased student self-efficacy in the areasof communication skills and design, achievement of course learning objectives, and increased in-lab student engagement. With regards to self-efficacy improvements, there was no perceivedeffect of

will enjoy the challenge of working with difficult technical issues in the context of advanced technology. The results of our study, particularly the relatively small proportion of time devoted to solitary technical work, have helped to explain some of the frustrations I have so frequently encountered among engineers. Many felt frustrated because they did not think that their jobs provided them with enough technical challenges. Others felt frustrated because they thought that a different career choice might have led to a job that would enable them to make more use of the advanced technical subjects they had studied in their university courses. Many of them were actually planning to leave their

Although it identifies eight dimensions of moral disengagement (moral justification, euphemistic labeling, advantageous comparison, displacement of responsibility, diffusion of responsibility, distortion of consequences, attribution of blame, and dehumanization), the scale is most correctly used as a measure of the single higher order concept of moral disengagement.

As Ball & Cohen(2013, p. 16) put it, “Examining student thinking is a core activity of [teachers’] practice.” Inorder to help teachers develop their responsiveness, teacher educators and teacher professionallearning communities typically rely on artifacts of classroom practice (i.e. examples of studentwork, video or audio recordings of classroom events, or field notes on classroom events) toanalyze pedagogical moves/approaches, to investigate the possible consequences of theirpedagogical approach for students’ learning, and to consider intentions and plans for futurepedagogical

They learn how to apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to make the world a better place through innovation. PLTW students say that PLTW Engineering influenced their post-secondary decisions and helped shape their future. PLTW students are shown to study engineering and other STEM disciplines at a rate significantly higher than their non-PLTW peers. Even for students who do not plan to pursue engineering after high school, the PLTW Engineering program provides opportunities to develop highly transferable skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving, which are relevant for any

In addition,social activities were planned to help the students to get to know each other. To make sure thatthe one hour a week meeting appeared on the students’ schedules, a zero credit course wascreated.

As discussed by the AAUW (2010), “a 2009 poll of young people ages 8–17 by theAmerican Society for Quality, 24 percent of boys but only 5 percent of girls said they wereinterested in an engineering career.”5 In 2006, just over 20% of first year male students plannedto major in engineering, computer science, or the physical sciences.

Did students in CEE 3110 have more concern that the grading scheme did not allow them to demonstrate their knowledge of the material as compared to the comparison group?The fact that the comparison group was from a class covering different material could bias theresults. Questions 1, 2, and 4 are related to course management, so the difference in subject mat-ter is unlikely to result in significant bias. Question 3, regarding the usefulness of the materialbeing studied, is admittedly more problematic.
