succeeding in a continuous working world that doesn’t assign an end-‐of-‐project grade. Teaching students how to perform peer review and how to utilize constructive criticism for improvement is essential for their future. Yet despite the long-‐term benefits recognized by academia, students are largely unfamiliar with peer review. Sitthiworachart and Joy9 reported that of their 215 first-‐year students taking a computer programming course, 89% of them had not ever experienced peer review prior to the start of the course. Guilford10 found that only 39% of undergraduate engineering students understood peer review as it related to scientific

The types of extracurricular activitiesidentified in the Likert scale questions were extracted from a previous tool development phase ofthis research project, where students identified the activities in which they most participated.The extracurricular activities that were mentioned most frequently in this tool development phasewere then integrated into the survey. Therefore, the extracurricular activities noted in Table 3represent a majority of what our study participants do outside the classroom. A separate block

It is normal for student groups to partitionthe assignment so that individual students can work independently on a distinct portion. In aflipped environment, students often work cooperatively during class time. The instructor is thenavailable to facilitate healthy team-building discussions and peer teaching to help students buildmeaningful skills in this area. I liked the flipped course for many reasons. The main one is because we were able to work on the homework in class with other students. Being able to ask questions to the teacher is also a

For instance, theintegration of social sustainability into curricula has been shown to improve students'understanding of community-centered design, enhancing their ability to create innovativesolutions that address local needs [30]. Additionally, hands-on, experiential learning opportunities,such as those provided by international collaborative projects, significantly contribute to studentlearning and awareness of social impact [9]. These approaches enhance technical competenciesand inspire a sense of responsibility and leadership among

saw a tremendous increase in federal funding of academic research.Seely describes the magnitude of this change: An avalanche of federal money, primarily from the military and the Atomic Energy Commission, displaced the smaller industrial research projects that had been conducted by a few engineering colleges before 1940. Trade associations had been the key research supporters in the 1930s, and a few thousand dollars a year constituted a large project. After 1945, however, federal grants worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year supported not just researchers but entire graduate programs with marvelous new facilities and expensive equipment [8, p. 289].This increase in

Additionally, the existing literature has not examined how faculty respond to students’lack of math readiness. To better understand this issue, this study examines engineering faculty’sperceptions of
