classrooms are part of the educational movement toward student-centered and problem-based learning [3]. In a flipped classroom, more of the traditional didactic portion of the classtakes place online, often using video tutorials. The videos are ideally much shorter and morefocused than typical in-class lectures [4]-[6]. This frees up class time to engage in higher-orderlearning strategies, rather than the more basic transfer of and review of information. Theclassroom is used to foster connections and active learning, with students engaging in hands-onactivities, projects, and/or problem solving [3],[7]-[11]. Students spend more time learning asstudent-to-student and student-to-teacher interactions increase [10],[12]. Faculty can provideimmediate
mounting evidence in support for collaborativeapproaches like problem-based or project-based learning. In thinking about creating classroomenvironments that encourage collaboration and critical thinking, types of assessments should becarefully considered.Using Assessments to Promote LearningHow instructors measure student success influences course outcomes. Course assessments are akey tenant of course design and determine the metrics of measurement for student proficiency incourse learning outcomes (Wiggens & McTighe, 1995). Traditional assessments, like multiplechoice tests and problem-sets, are prevalent in engineering education (Claris & Riley, 2012;Nicol, 2007). While the literature includes some benefits of these types of assessments
marketing [7], andpedagogical improvements [8]. Our project focuses on a relatively unique area, i.e., curiositydetection in text. This paper presents preliminary, yet promising, results of empirically miningwords that demonstrate a curious disposition (of the students) in text data produced by studentsin response to thought-provoking and critical-thinking exercises. The success of our projectcould positively impact efforts to assess both curiosity and its impact on educational outcomes.For many decades, psychologists have wrestled with understanding the nature of curiosity.Recent work by Grossnickle [9] has provided a framework for understanding facets, factors anddimensions of the construct of curiosity that are relevant to the education audience

AM machines are used widely bystudents [1]. The ease of prototype manufacturing in 3D printing encourages students to preferAM machines to conventional manufacturing machines in building their projects. One majorquestion remaining unanswered is that how well the AM manufactured parts will perform underload and pressure in an industrial application. Providing the students with hands-on experiences

Role-playIn order to investigate the effect of AR on the communication and interaction in acollaborative setting in higher education, a role-play was developed and implemented into anexemplary lecture on Agile Management in Technology and Organisation at the RWTHAachen University. The lecture mainly addresses students of Mechanical Engineering whohave hardly or not had contact with agile project management during their studies before.Thus, this way of organizing tasks is a completely new, mostly uncommon and often abstractway of working to them.

The paper could form the basisfor in-class discussion or a written reflection if an instructor generated appropriate prompts.There are also more detailed case studies related to privacy that would be good vehicles forinstruction, including Google Street View [40, 41] and “optimizing schools” [42]. These cases donot explicitly discuss a human rights perspective, so this framing would need to be added by theinstructor.Right to Property – Article 17Article 17 relates to the right to own and not “be arbitrarily deprived of [ ] property” [1].

Hegarty’s theoretical framework [22], students integrate both verbal and visuospatialinformation into a mental model of the concepts encoded within the representation. Thesefindings of the context-dependent nature of comprehension align well with the knowledge inpieces perspective of conceptual change, which posits that students’ conceptual knowledge is acollection of pieces that are cued depending on the context of the problem. While there is stillconsiderable debate about whether conceptual knowledge is in pieces or more monolithic [2],[7], [26], [27], we based our project on the knowledge-in-pieces perspective based on itsalignment with prior findings in the micro-level view of representations.The context-dependent nature of cognition has been

reasons for the shortfall in assessment practices: 1)Introducing engineering students to entrepreneurship is a relatively new trend and it will taketime for the successes to be quantified and assessed; 2) There are inconsistencies across differentengineering entrepreneurship programs; 3) The program can involve a single course, multiplecourses, projects or experiential learning; 4) The concepts can be taught by engineering faculty,business faculty, practicing engineers, or a mix of these. These program differences lead tovariations in assessment methods and instruments. Most importantly, there is lack of a clear,consistent and comprehensive definition of engineering entrepreneurship characteristics withinthe community.Based on the framework
learning, and problem solving experiences and can be enriched usinghands-on project-based learning.10 Even the best students often do just enough to pass an exam,after which they forget everything they learned. The material taught in a course quickly fadesunless the student has applied the knowledge in some way. There are two things that stay withstudents after a class ends: the interactive and stimulating hands-on experience they gainedpracticing the use of some instrument or software package, and any material that was ofparticular interest to them. This is why it is as important to spark interest, building motivation forstudents to learn the desired material, as well as to provide relevant hands-on activities. Excitement is contagious. One of

More specifically, in our research, a problem was discussed bythe TA using a document camera and projector.
