Education, 2018Student Engagement Profiles in a Discrete-Time Signals and Systems CourseStudent engagement has received substantial and growing attention in the education researchcommunity [1]. One of the main reasons for the significant interest in student engagement is itspower in predicting academic achievement and other learning outcomes, including social andemotional outcomes [2], [3]. A large number of studies have explored relationships betweenstudent engagement and a wide range of both predictors and outcomes for various populations.Relatively few studies have investigated student engagement specifically in undergraduateengineering courses. For example, one study examined the influence of co-curricular activities onengineering and computer

: A Comparison Across ContextsIntroductionEngineering work is becoming increasingly global in nature, making it essential that engineeringstudents develop global competence [1], [2]. However, traditional global programs (e.g., studyabroad) present challenges for engineering students who often have to fit such experienceswithin a highly structured curricular schedule. Further, study abroad can be a financial burden formany students who are already paying significant amounts to attend college [3], [4]. One type ofglobal engineering program that has the potential to address these challenges are internationalresearch experiences, which typically take place during the summer and provide students with asalary. Research has suggested that such

Often young students are not engaged by science and mathematics in the classroomthrough traditional teaching techniques (i.e. lectures) [2], as their learning styles are not alwaysconsidered.

Towardcontributing to that investigation, we analyzed student usage of MATLAB coding exercisesacross several universities, looking at usage patterns for completion rate, number of tries, andtime spent on MATLAB coding exercises.

class [1], many faculty are turning to online homeworkbased systems (Pearson’s Mastering, Wiley Plus and/or McGraw Hill’s Connect). These systemsprovide content, grading and assessment of student work, and feedback to the students whilesolving problems. One of the things that is missing from all of these tools is the capability toassess the student’s communication of their thought process as they progress through a problem.Most problems in these systems provide step-by-step guidance where students are asked to “fill-in-the-blanks” with their answers. They do not allow for independent thought for the students toanalyze and solve a problem in a manner that might make sense to themselves. In addition, theydo not allow for analysis of that thought

In this paper, we explore (1) How do LAs notice,diagnose, and consider responding to teamwork troubles within design teams, and (2) Whatideological assumptions plausibly contribute to LAs’ sensemaking around their students’teamwork troubles? To do so, we analyze how the LAs notice and consider responding to issuesof equitable teamwork and participation, as exhibited in three related activities: (i) an in-classroleplay, (ii) observing and diagnosing teamwork troubles (TTs) in the engineering designteams, and (iii) imagining possible instructional responses to those troubles, and students’possible reactions.
