That is, a traditionalclassroom from the first semester is compared to a “flipped” classroom the second semester. Thisintroduces a wide variety of irregularities between the two semesters: test structure and content,professor interaction, lecture inconsistencies, and other variables.Bishop conducted a literature review on the topic of flipped classrooms, and found 24 relevantstudies.1 Very few of these studies examined a flipped and traditional course the same semester.In addition, only one study, from Day, examined student performance throughout the semester

: Developing a New Degree ProgramAbstractIn this paper, we report on the development of a new industrial engineering program, framing itas a systems engineering process in the context of higher education curriculum development. Thecurriculum is described in detail, and innovative characteristics of the program are discussed.The resulting program is flexible, allowing the pursuit of accelerated graduate programs, asecond major, various minor options, and study-abroad; relevant, tailored to the needs ofindustry partners in the vicinity; and practical, providing hands-on education, resulting inemployment-ready graduates.1.

The Kern Entrepreneurial EngineeringNetwork (KEEN) defines curiosity, connections and creating value as three core components ofan entrepreneurial mindset. These 3Cs coupled with associated engineering skills forms KEEN’sentrepreneurial mindset framework. An entrepreneurial mindset enables engineers to developsound technical solutions that address customer needs, are feasible from a business perspective,and have societal benefit.The Tagliatela College of Engineering at the University of New Haven is working to develop anentrepreneurial mindset in its engineering students through a four-faceted framework based onKEEN’s constructs that includes: 1) developing an entrepreneurial mindset amongst

Even as enrollment trends for humanitiesmajors have been declining in recent years [1], there are still consistent calls for humanitiestopics to be a part of STEM education [2-4]. Unfortunately, adding additional content to alreadypacked STEM curricula can be very challenging for institutions operating under total credit hourrestrictions. One promising strategy for incorporating humanities into STEM courses is tostrategically weave the individual humanities topics into existing courses. Toward this goal, thecollege has

A popular approach is the use ofsurvey instruments. Lichtenstein and Zappe [2] reviewed 22 instruments developed to assessentrepreneurial mindset.We have developed a rigorously validated assessment instrument to explore the entrepreneurialmindset of engineering and computer science students [3], [4]. This instrument was developedbased on a framework in which an entrepreneurially minded engineer is defined as one whopossesses curiosity about our changing world, habitually makes connections to gain insight frommany sources of information, and focuses on creating value for others.

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

classes at Stevens do not rely heavily on these skills or that students can make up for themin other ways, e.g. teamwork. Future work will address these questions.IntroductionSpatial-visualization skills (SVS) are known to be critically important to success and retention inSTEM fields. At the same time, these skills are often learned through life experiences such asplaying sports, or playing with certain toys, rather than being taught explicitly in a formal setting[1-4]. Due to this reliance on life experience, the levels of spatial skills displayed by women andunderrepresented groups are typically lower than that of other student populations. Importantlyhowever, spatial skills can be learned and improved with appropriate training.One of the most
