Project is to keep present students invested in a welcoming environment andmake sure new students feel welcomed and know that they are expected to welcome others.Though it was a minor event, we put a put a 6-foot sheet of poster paper out before a new studentevent and asked present students to write messages welcoming the new students. We made itclear that the poster was a Diversity Project Poster and there were many messages of support toALL new students. We felt that just writing that on a poster reminded the present students to begood classmates as well keeping them invested in providing a welcoming environment to thenew students and each other.

numerous elements. The System Engineering and Freshman Designcourse at the University of Southern Indiana is intended to help students develop qualities neededto prepare them for the remainder of their collegiate courses and for their career. In addition,freshman students gain exposure to engineering design early in their college education which is 1essential to continuing in the engineering courses. Researchers suggest that the learner-learnerinteraction can enrich learning outcomes [1]. Thus, peer-oriented educational activities such as thecreation of a functioning miniature racing car are critical in the learning journey of engineeringstudents

Students areexpected to attend all the disciplines regardless of their background and intended area of study.Beginning in the summer of 2013, the chemistry portion has focused on student preparation forChemistry I, which is required for almost all the undergraduate engineering programs at MSOE.However, due to the diverse student backgrounds and lack of motivation, as noticed through theyears by faculty teaching Carter Academy, the chemistry enrichment experience was

. Systematic review techniques have recentlygained traction in the field of engineering education. A systematic review performed over aspecific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of bestpractices.This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identifiedthrough a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results wereexamined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, andlimitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review. The results of thereview may inform educational techniques employed in post

the day. Education was not necessary to earn a living, it was merely a luxury for the elites and the rich. Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production. Industry needed lots of people to do same type of tasks and the education paradigm evolved to meet that need. Engineering education, which modeled the industrial set-up most closely followed a highly linear path with curriculum being divided into a set of courses with a distinct prerequisite structure where students would have to pass one class to move onto the next. This arrangement, mirrored the assembly line and turned out to be the most efficient

Capstone designcourse or course sequences are offering a common way that the engineering programs meet thesecriteria, being key elements in engineering and engineering technology undergraduate programs.Students usually engage in these course subjects near the beginning of their senior year. Thesenior capstone design projects course has several objectives. One objective is to enable studentsto integrate theoretical and practical skills gained throughout their lecture and laboratory courses.Another objective requires that senior capstone design experiences build on knowledge gainedfrom earlier courses.

The new aspects of this statics course are: (1) the blended format; (2) thedevelopment of novel activities for the classroom and laboratory; (3) the use of a “lightboard”, inwhich the instructor writes on a glass board while facing the video camera, to record the mini-lecture videos; (4) the flexibility for the instructor to “flip” any desired percentage of thesemester’s lectures; (5) the collections of videos and activities are available for instructors acrossmultiple campuses.

Despite this successusing Google Docs, there remains questions of anonymity and the willingness of some studentsto share information when peers have visible access to their responses.Many studies [12] [14] recognize the importance of teaching center or facilitator intervention inthe mid-semester evaluative process.

Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2

In addition to working in parallelduring the lecture phase, immediately following the lecture the students try in-class exercisesdesigned to reinforce the concepts from the lecture. The hands-on in-class exercises havereceived very positive feedback from the students. Often the material seems to make sense whileI’m lecturing and giving examples, but when the students have to write the code themselves, theyoften realize they do not know the material as well as they thought they did. Students can askquestions and get one on one help during the in-class exercise portion of the class. The greatestimpact of the in-class exercises is a higher level of retention

They aremandated to teach STS concepts to undergraduate engineering students, often fulfilling specificaccreditation requirements. The embedded STS department model can thus be understood as aresponse to these requirements chosen by a small number of engineering programs from among avariety of other avenues of response. Perhaps the most common response chosen has been torequire engineering students to fulfill the non-technical accreditation requirements by enrollingin ethics courses or writing courses offered by departments outside of engineering.

desired performance level. At this point, students are self-regulated learners: they canset their own learning goals, determine how to best accomplish these goals, and monitor their progressin accomplishing them [1, Part II]. When self-regulated learners perceive deficits in their learning, they exhibit adaptive help-seeking:asking others for the resources necessary in order to learn independently [16], [17]. Students may engagein formal (approaching an instructor) or informal (approaching a peer or friend) help-seeking behavior.Students who use more metacognitive, cognitive, and resource management strategies are more likely toseek help when needed.
