written document also provides a basis for grading of the technical content.5. Plan for the assessment of learning objectives. Some of the learning objectives that are generated for these role plays can be assessed through standard grading procedures for labs or assignments. However, objectives that need to be assessed with coding of performance during the role plays or with self-report surveys. This may require some planning. We have used both paper and online surveying tools for the self-report surveys. We have also coded student performance in the role play by videotaping the deposition. Another option is to have the person role playing the lawyer to rate the engineering student’s performance after the role play. This

also share their plan for the future research.IntroductionThe primary goal of engineering programs is to prepare the engineering students for theirprofessional careers in the global setting 1. Ideally, the educators should teach in a well-managed,student-centered environment with reasonably structured framework. They should stressfundamental knowledge, equip the students with solid skills and expose them to cutting-edgetechnologies 2. It has been found that obtaining practical knowledge from college is morebeneficial to the students’ professional career than mastering any new technology 3. An effectivelearning environment should help the students enhance their ability to solve practical problems 2.Globalization of the engineering enterprise

Two sections would meet for lectures two days per week in themornings and the remaining two sections would meet on same days for lectures in theafternoons. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the instructor could not report to teaching for thefirst two weeks of classes. He was assigned a Graduate Assistant (GA), who taught the courseduring this period in the absence of the instructor. He was in constant contact with the GA andextensively discussed the semester plan for the course with him. They had multiple telephonicconferences in order to finalize

We will work with the college totrack students’ persistence, but in the meantime we will estimate students’ intent to remain inengineering majors through reflective essays and surveys. Students will be provided multiple-choice responses for each survey question. The responses have not yet been collected. Thesurvey questions related to conation include: 1.

The longevity of this program is supported through cross-disciplinaryresearch, course development, and mentoring of EWB projects containing interdisciplinary,multi-component systems.

technology, followed bymath, and then science. No respondents indicated the highest level of interest in engineering.Many school systems and states include “math” and “science”. Most elementary school teachersdo not have engineering training6 so often when teachers hear “engineering” they think thesubject involves more than they are capable of teaching and is therefore out of their comfort zoneand abilities. As noted in the conclusions, efforts will be made by the planning to committee toaddress this perception.Approximately half of the teachers were interested in pursuing a Math or Science endorsement ifthere were local opportunities. The percentage of teachers willing to pursue professionalopportunities increases to 58% when a stipend was

While students learn that the basics of product planning and the innovation cycle thatestablishes incumbent and emerging companies in the marketplace, the intent is to have studentunderstand that these downstream market influences greatly influence the upstream materialsupply and value chains of a materials producer.Factors and Policies Influencing Materials InnovationMaterials do not move easily from invention to the marketplace and thus can take severaldecades.1 Furthermore, once in use, a technological innovation is subject to diffusion pressuresas copies or similar competing products

Nelson (2005) asserts that safety training can occur only when management and employeesare taught how certain tasks must be accomplished in order to prevent injury, including specifictraining on how to develop an adequate work-execution and pre-task safety plan [18].Typically, construction companies faced several challenges associated with safety training thatthey need to be overcome. For instance, the extent to which workers' learning experiences areaffected in safety training sessions and the extent to which workers learn safe practices intraining sessions is among these challenges [6].

Included in the process is a requirement to test out our hypotheses (e.g. our valueproposition, possible income streams …) through a minimum of 100 customer interviews. Theprocess ran throughout January and February and was nearly a full-time effort. After February,we have continued to work on the plan we developed (to create a new division at ASEE to bringsome structure and support to MOHS pedagogy). There was also a one day workshop at ASEE inwhich the 9 pilot groups presented to help educate and recruit the next cohorts. Based on thesuccess of the pilot, the decision was made to expand I-Corps to include learning. In addition tohelping us
learning styles as assessed by the Myers-‐Briggs Inventory [3]. Additionally, when considering the external obstacles and characteristics of NT students, it cannot be assumed that students are largely isolated from worldly concerns. Students may have learned to recognize “A” level mastery of the subject matter, and have a good idea of how long it will take to achieve it, but still have their plans interrupted by externally imposed changes in work schedules, by sick children (especially in single parent households) or other non-‐academic factors. These constraints are less severe with traditional students however divergent constraints are greater
. Entrepreneurship education has evolved since it was first taught in business schools in themid-1940s. As it continues to be incorporated across disciplines, entrepreneurship education hasseen a number of innovations and has benefited from advances in student learning6.Entrepreneurship education has expanded well beyond single business plan classes. Recently,engineering colleges have been the most aggressive at incorporating entrepreneurship at differentlevels, from individual course development, certificate creation, to program development3,4,7. In2010, over 50% of ASEE engineering programs offered entrepreneurship opportunities to theirstudents and approximately 25% had a more structured opportunity, such as a minor7.

In a case-based module, students identify solutions to grey-watersystems that do not meet current local codes. Course modules were developed with an advisorycommittee including building code officials, architects, construction managers, disastermitigation experts, and academic faculty. Advisory members anonymously submitted feedbackfor each module. Feedback was compiled, discussed and course content edited. This review-discuss-edit process was repeated until a final version was agreed upon with the advisorycommittee. The course and content is a free resource for educators.
