As gender impacts how students interact on teams and how power plays out inface-to-face conversations, it seems possible that speaker gender and group gender balance maycomplicate whether and how teams express disagreement, and computer-supported interactionmay mediate such effects.MethodsThe data used for this study was collected as part of a dissertation [2].

Atthis point in their undergraduate career, students began to identify as engineers and recognizethat they would persist in their engineering degree.In their final year, tensions and negative emotions reappeared as students began to make post-graduation plans.

Our underlying aim is to achieve a pedagogical transformation that empowers anew generation of engineers equipped with skills essential and relevant to the technicalworkforce. This project was funded by a generous grant from W. M. Keck Foundation. This paper highlights the motivation behind this initiative, discusses the proposed plan ofaction, and presents initial results and observations from a pilot implementation of this initiative,specifically focusing on the curricular enhancement aspect of the project. Efficacy of thisimplementation was gauged using feedback from student-surveys. Progress towards the goals

But, from the author’s experience, with proper planning, this approach hadactually made the learning as well as the teaching process more efficient and easier. It wasobserved that the students were very enthusiastic and fully engaged during both the workshopand classroom sessions compared to the lecture only approach.Technical educators today are required to help learners acquire both soft and hard skills to meetthe industry needs and expectations. More than 50% of the students enrolled in MechanicalEngineering program were sponsored by local industries and the students are expected to bereadily employable upon graduation.

It is noted that the instructional coach was not a workshop facilitator and had no priorrelations with these faculty members.Consequently, this study had two research objectives. The first was to determine the effects ofparticipating in the professional development. This first purpose was a planned objective fromthe outset of designing the IUSE professional development program. The second purpose was todetermine the effects of receiving coaching, in the context of ongoing professional development,on instructional practices, as measured by the RTOP. This second objective was not originallyplanned but emerged when it was noted that faculty members were requesting feedback and

By privileging deeplycontextualized leadership learning narratives over more traditional career path research methods—quantitative analysis of human resource records and large-scale industry surveys—we wereable to generate a dynamic, empirical strategy to examine how engineers learn to lead over thecourse of their careers. This data collection method also provided us with a useful way to test thedual career track model.Our sampling plan involved identifying 3-4 engineers with at least 25 years of experience in eachof eight industries, deliberately diversifying by career path and demographic background.

Engineering Class The goal is to implement HIPs for mechanical engineering students who are still intheir early part of the core mechanical engineering program. This course would be one of thefirst mechanical engineering courses required by the university that is not considered part ofthe general education curriculum. The purpose of this study is to track the effects of HIPs withcarefully planned pedagogies that would provide numerous benefits for the students, such asoverall increased learning gains and graduation rates. There are seven HIPs characteristicsused to measure the results at the end of the semester: these are (1) interaction with faculty, (2)interaction with peers, (3) feedback from instructor, (4) quality time spent on the course
SolidWorks).As the course progresses, the students must transition from being assigned weekly deliverableswhich walk the students through the design project to being able to manage large assignmentsthat require longer term planning. Team size from 3 to 4 in the Fall increases to 6 to 8 in theSpring. In the Fall semester, the students are primarily working on gathering the requirementsand developing initial concepts, thus smaller teams of 3 to 4 are sufficient for this semester. Inthe spring semester, however, the students start prototyping, building proof of concepts andultimately fabricating the alpha and beta prototypes, thus the increase in team size in the Spring.This also allows the students to apply project management course work to the
-secondarylevel. They are usually three-year diploma program under the supervision of respective stateboard of technical education. These programs are kept outside the purview of university system.Often they are called Licentiate in Civil Engineering (LCE) or Licentiate in MechanicalEngineering (LME) or licentiate in other disciplines of engineering. A diploma course inengineering involves classes on fundamental engineering concepts. It is a professional course,planned in such a way that students may still take up jobs in the field of engineering once theyearn their diplomas. It can allow them to transfer into the second year of the B.Tech. or B.E.course. This, in effect, means the student may not have to take the eleventh and twelfth classexams. So

Its growth as a field of study and as astandard of practice is understandable in light of concerns about dwindling resources, populationand developmental growth, and environmental sensitivity based on global warming and othernatural phenomena. Engineering in general, and civil and construction engineering in particular,is a field uniquely well-equipped to tackle the issues of incorporating sustainability into projectexecution.

This talent shortfall is increasing as the scope of society’s cybersecurityneeds continue to expand. To close the gap, several authors [8]–[13] have recommended aneffort to grow the number of people in cybersecurity who have competencies in research. Thisfocus would result in a workforce able to identify and define problems, think critically to connectproblems with solutions, develop projects and related plans, collect and analyze data, drawconclusions, communicate effectively, and work well in teams.This study investigates the role of active team-based learning as a means of developing thisneeded

This form of virtual office hours is also held regularly twice a week, ratherthan as a form of test prep, such as those held by Patrick Lowenthal. Happy Hours are also a mixof pre-planned problems and student guided questions. Prior to the Happy Hour, the instructorsends out a set of problems to all students in the course so that students can view and startworking on the problems before the meeting. At the start of each session, however, students aregiven an opportunity to bring up any questions that they have regarding the course. After that,students are free to
