of research has examined students’ epistemologicalviews in engineering learning [10] – [14]. For example, Felder and Brent [10] have found thatstudent who demonstrate higher levels of epistemological development tend to display expertengineers’ thinking patterns. Liu and Zhu [11] found that project-based learning positivelyinfluence students’ contextual constructivist thinking. Frye, Montfort, and Brown [12] reportedthat as students’ epistemological views change, their ability to perform critical evaluation of thereasoning for engineering processes tend to progress as they advance in the academic program.Research ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to examine the multidimensionality of engineering epistemologicalbeliefs among first year

Perhaps one the best aspects of this isthat it is not an activity that is presented as “now we’re going to do something international.”Instead, it is simply the reality that to be successful on a technical project, and earn the desiredgrade, they will have to navigate working on a team that is international.Basic Description of ArrangementThe University of Dayton and Shanghai Normal University are partners in a unique articulationagreement for the Bachelor of Science in

learning in higher education can be integrated into theclassroom using one of two models: formal cooperative learning and informal cooperativelearning [2]. In formal cooperative learning, students work together to achieve a specific task forseveral weeks. In this form of cooperative learning, instructors plan the assigned tasks'objectives, the number of students in a team, the selection process of members in the team, andthe evaluation process for group members. Formal cooperative learning is widely implementedin Engineering education in lab sessions, senior design projects, and project assignments.In the informal cooperative learning approach, temporary groups are formed to work on aquestion or a problem posted in real-time by the instructor

As a result, there has been interestin hybrid learning techniques such as “flipped” learning7 where online lectures are used to open-up time for more meaningful activities in the in-person sessions (e.g., discussions, case studies,projects, problem solving sessions, etc.). Arguably, the flipped approach does not require anonline component – as Cussler8 notes, “flipped” has existed for many years in the form of out ofclass preparation (e.g., reading a play prior to class) – but recording lectures for students prior toclass, does provide a convenient way to free up the in-class time for other activities.The verdict is still out on
