The Adaptive Map ToolThe Adaptive Map tool uses a large-scale concept map with semantic zooming techniques, wherethe scope of the material being covered determines the level of detail presented in thevisualization. By having the software present only the most relevant information to the user’scurrent focus, the software is helping to manage the cognitive load imposed on the user. As the information visualization literature suggests, the Adaptive Map tool opens by presentingusers with an overview of all of the information in the textbook covered at a high level ofabstraction.

conceptions” or “misconceptions”[3]. Making errors is an integral part of thelearning process. However, misconceptions could lead to impairments in students’ ability tounderstand and learn new material [2].Two main forces are driving students’ transfer out of engineering: students’ lack of interest orloss of interest in engineering, and students’ difficulty in their math courses [4-7]. Helpingstudents succeed in their math courses is essential to improving the retention of students inengineering. This paper summarizes the results of a study aimed at improving students’ mathand engineering reasoning skills. In this portion of the study, the investigators evaluatedstudents’ misconceptions and issues related to solving math and engineering

proposed curriculum should be designed with a “veryholistic approach” of “mindfully considering all the aspects that go into how to train an engineer,because it's not all about what courses they need to complete.” Others echoed this desire forrevised or redesigned engineering curriculum for undergraduate students that better suited theirneeds as diverse modern-day engineers.As with the pedagogies employed in individual engineering classrooms, participants providedtheir thoughts on engineering Curricular Policy Changes and Discussions.

Modification to improve performance of small Stirling engine model was introduced during the second summer, and problem solving with an inexpensive drone was implemented during the third summer. • Attendance and passiveness were observed with some participants in the first summer. Routine clicker assessment was implemented to confirm the participants’ understanding. The program also included assessments after

Situated cognition experts contend that knowledge only exists in context and hasvery limited meaning and usefulness when taught out of context 1, 6, 7. An educationalneed exists to better integrate engineering students within the context of engineeringpractice and to develop and implement curricular materials that represent this integration.The lack of a target cognitive model and associated situated and research-based curricularmaterials impedes students’ abilities to be

This is a justifiable approach from astudent perspective, given that the coin distributions did not affect how students were graded.For future work, it is recommended that CDRM be integrated into the scoring of multiple-choicequestions.Second, the use of CDRM should be expanded to other assessment instruments. In this case, itmight be better to evaluate this method on exams rather than short quizzes to ensure a higher rateof participation across the spectrum of student levels of conceptual understanding. Given that afraction of students were absent for each quiz in each semester, it is

With the success of case-basedinstruction seen in medical and law curriculums, an increasing number of science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) instructors have begun to integrate cases into their courses. A newchampion for the use of cases in the sciences emerged in 1994 with the work of Herried andfunding from the National Science Foundation to form the National Center for Case StudyTeaching in the Sciences (NCCSTS).
