For example, a study of over 1,000 students attending a diverserange of institutions [1] evaluated engagement in terms of the nature and amount of academicwork a student performed, the frequency of student participation in class, and the degree ofparticipation in other educationally fruitful activities. Bivariate correlations between theseengagement measures and GPA were significant for all three forms of engagement (p < 0.01) andbivariate correlations between RAND test scores (representing critical thinking and studentlearning) and student engagement were significant for two of the three forms of engagement(academic work and participation in other educationally fruitful activities).

Moreover, the number of students in the classroom has increased while departmental fundinghas decreased, resulting in fewer resources and smaller increases in compensation for faculty.Taken together, these conditions are likely to impact the teaching satisfaction of ECE faculty.Although teaching satisfaction of ECE faculty specifically has not been studied, other researchhas shown that faculty well-being, which includes teaching satisfaction, has been linked tofaculty retention and turnover intentions [3] as well as faculty performance of job responsibilities[4].

We hypothesized that as students acquired greater engineeringknowledge and were exposed to greater use of metacognitive thinking and strategies that focusedon that knowledge across their education at IRE, the sequencing of their utterances wouldindicate the following differences from the pre to the post problem: (1) greater sustained use of engineering knowledge when solving the post problem; (2) increased metacognitive monitoring occurring before and after the use of engineering knowledge on the post problem; (3

Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the

learning and development [1]. Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering

The idea was to represent ‘knowledge domains’ in a visual, logical sequence with anemphasis on the relationship between the various elements or ‘concepts.’ At the very least,concept maps help to organize the contents of a knowledge domain. At its best use, concept mapshelp students recollect prior knowledge, link the various courses in liberal arts, science and math,engineering, and economics and summarize their learning. A list-based syllabus does not connectthe previous knowledge to the one pursued in the current course. The syllabus also does notenlighten the student about the holistic nature of transdisciplinary education in the

The role of the teacher in implementing collaborative problem solvingactivities in face-to-face STEM classrooms has received increasing attention in recent years [2],[3], [4], [5]. According to these researchers, teachers must implement strategies that can facilitatestudent interactions in groups which, in turn, can positively impact the group progress towardsthe goal of solving the task during the activity. These strategies must take place prior to thebeginning of the activity, during the activity, and at the end of the activity [3].
