For this stage, we used data fromthe 2016 cohort of RSAP, which included 91 students who participated in three different tracks:Europe (Italy, Switzerland, and Germany), China, and the Dominican Republic. Demographicinformation for this cohort is in Tables 2 and 3. In general, the program has larger representationof women and underrepresented students than the population of the College of Engineering(CoE), and the 2016 cohort is no different.

, which opens up questions about howto determine what amounts to a “good” concept map. This is particularly evident when student-generated concept maps cannot be analyzed against an absolute target,. Further, without theability to define hierarchies of key concept to sub-concept in dynamic socio-technical systems,there is a challenge to assess the orientation of knowledge acquisition for students [3], [4]. Thisresearch considers traditional scoring of concept maps that tend to emphasize node andconnection quantity [5] (i.e., the number of concepts expressed), which might be problematic forliberal arts courses demanding engineering students critically reflect and rethink their priorassumptions and heuristics about the relationship between

unfortunate realities14. Although the 3 large fundamental engineering courses in this study pose a different set ofissues, which often implies that quality teaching is not possible in large classes, researchers ineducation10,42,54,75 suggested the contrary –quality teaching is quite possible in large classes whilefocusing on student-centered, cooperative, active experimentation, and high-level thinkinglearning, instead of the traditional teacher-centered, individual, reflective observation, androutine-drill learning. Almost 2 decades ago, Felder23 had recommended the need to change the pedagogy usedin engineering classrooms. According to his study at that time, many engineering classes in1999 were taught in exactly the same way that

Therefore, these higher levellearning skills become not just purely aspirational goals but need to be actualized in order tomake the KI based pedagogy effective. This is where an active learning model can prove veryeffective. This paper describes such an active learning model developed and implemented in2017 for the introductory electronics course in the junior year. This learning model consists ofthree key components which are described in details - the concept introduction or pre-workcomponent, the concept exploration or classwork component, and the concept reflection orpost-work component.

This is most likely a reflection of loss of 9interest in the individual items that make up the composite such as gaming or game design orhardware, for instance.

In fact, student reflections on teaming activities andcases of conflict in teams decrease over the course of the semester. Instead, we believe that thisshift occurs as students learn more about what it means to be a good team member, become morecomfortable giving their peers feedback and subsequently deliver ratings that are more realistic.As part of understanding students’ perceptions of working on diverse teams, we have beenpaying close attention to how

As part of a person’s “style,” empathy is considered apsychological trait, one that reflects an engineering designer’s personality. The concept “empathic design,” coined by Leonard and Rayport, had gainedprominence prior to its presence in engineering education [18].
