In the literature of visual and tactile aids for teaching and learning, there are numerousstudies providing supporting evidence that such aids enhance students’ learning outcomes aswell as possible rationales, for example, aids reduce the burden placed on short term memoryfor engineering problem solving. Abstract concepts without direct physical representations can be found in manyengineering knowledge domains such as industrial engineering, systems engineering, andengineering management. Domain topics having abstract concepts include supply chains,enterprise computing, and complex engineering projects. Teaching and learning suchconcepts is

7th Grade (AB7G) has been launched as a pilot program from National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates (NAMEPA), hosted by the University of Cincinnati and Purdue University. The program begins with students in the 3rd grade and continues each year until the 7th grade where the students are exposed to Algebra and hands on projects. The students’ progress and test scores are tracked and monitored. Our pilot sites meet two Saturdays of each month. All participants are required to have access to the Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) web-based student assessment system or a similar software program. The system can measure which skills the student has mastered and skills in which the students need more

Jennifer Blue, Amy Summerville, Brian P Kirkmeyer1 A sense of social belonging appears to be a crucial factor in student success and retention in STEM. As part of a larger NSF-funded project, we collected data about students’ perceived social belonging in the department for a calculus-based physics course taken by the majority of engineering majors and in an early programming course. Students completed surveys in the first two weeks of the semester, and again approximately one month later, after the first exam (6-8 weeks into the semester). Students reported a decrease in belonging over time. We examined whether this pattern differed for several historically marginalized groups: women, non-white

With their shared subject interest,those students typically are taking similar courses. Many LLCs also require all residents to take acommon course, attend community building activities together, or work on projects together [5].LLCs also tend to offer additional resources including a faculty in residence, a staff of olderstudents to study with, department engagement events, and required advising.One example of an engineering LLC is at a four-year public university in the pacific northwest.This particular LLC houses roughly 68 first-year students per year in a coed residence

Beyond the limitation of the cost-per-use model,there are four main challenges around collection management. First, we engineering librarians havemany responsibilities besides collection management including instruction, reference, public servicesand outreach.

The simplicity of those rubrics does not permit the identification ofdeficiencies in problem solving skills. In this project, a problem solving rubric developed forPhysics students was adapted to assess the problem solving skills of engineering studentsenrolled in a first semester engineering course. Unlike most rubrics used in engineering courses,this rubric grades the thought process, and splits the problem solving approach into separatecategories: Useful Description, Engineering and Math Approach, Application of Engineering,Mathematical Procedures, and Logical Progression.
