The captions in the videos helpstudents understand the specific terms. Music does not play an important role in the videodesign. They pointed out that the tiered examples in the videos and tiered quiz questions easedtheir anxiousness and helped their comprehension of the materials.

As a prime example, Wentworth Institute of Technologyis an undergraduate-centric college, without a day-time graduate program or on-campus graduatestudents. This likely puts the undergraduate students at a disadvantage, as they are not exposed toa graduate community; as well as decreasing the overall interest in graduate school, as studentseither don’t know it is an option, or don’t understand what they will be doing in graduate schooland why and when it matters for career success.A team of

Furthermore, it is important to link the curriculum to research andscholarship in engineering and applied science education to foster the use of the best pedagogicalpractices and to create visibility for the curriculum model. Over the last several years, a few institutions in the country have established separateDepartments of Engineering Education to spearhead innovative teaching practices and conductresearch in engineering education. However, a separate Department of Engineering Educationcan become yet another “silo” within the engineering college with its own values that do notpermeate into disciplinary departments.

Specifically, research centersstaffed with non-faculty researchers – who typically have lower teaching and administrativeworkloads than faculty – may be particularly amenable to mentoring, since student retention isenhanced by the amount and frequency of student-mentor non-classroom contact (Pascarella,Terenzini, & Feldman, 1991).
