Use of thetechnologies is intuitive for most, which enables broader use, even by people with no previousexperience with the technology.If the intent of educators is to help students plan and realize learning goals for a lifetime, then itis important to understand how students perceive the lifelong learning process in the world ofabundant information, readily accessible and portable through technology, both mobile andfixed

To strengthen theadvocacy efforts of SWE, the committee developed an advocacy statement of what the WIACommittee supports. This statement was subsequently adopted by the SWE Board of Directors.The full advocacy statement is in Appendix A. The key points, which are important to thisdiscussion of what SWE and WIA offer its membership, include the following: ● tools and resources to support the interests of these members, ● advocating with the institutions and universities where these members work and volunteer, ● educating others about this unique career

Overall, 74% of instructors reported they were satisfied with the project, and they especially appreciated the real-time dashboards that tracked student progress. There was a divide, however, between those teaching developmental (remedial) courses and general education gateway courses.

This involves discussing potential theories (often from other fields or disciplines) that could resolve on the unexpected finding. This stage should be treated like ideation in design processes; variety and volume are desired. 3.

Through weekly lectures and studio meetings, instructors work with teamsto apply the design tools to their problem and scope of work. While each project is unique,student teams generally follow a similar process, developing concepts and fully designing thefinal concept in the first semester, and developing and executing a validation plan in the secondsemester. The goal of the program is to provide a significant design experience for studentsthrough which they can apply the various theoretical knowledge and analytical skills that theyhave collected in their previous coursework. Since practicing engineers will employ the designprocess repeatedly, the program also seeks to

Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7].
