In addition to a largecommon lecture section, the students have labs and writing/speaking activities in smaller groupsof about 30 students. The “Exploring Engineering” course includes technical lectures,presentations from departmental representatives , and many hands-on activities.The objective of this paper is to summarize the results of surveys conducted over each of the pastfour years of the engineering majors. The s urveys were intended to gauge student opinions as towhy they selected their declared major. Surveys were administered in April of each year, in the

Specifically, investigations are planned tostudy if providing students with a worked-out-homework solution (from a similar but notassigned problem) before the assignment is due is a more effective intervention than providingsolutions after the due date.Bibliographic Information[1] Steif, P.

We use S/U/- (satisfactory/unsatisfactory/Not Available) notation toidentify whether a student met one or more of these criteria in a given course. An S roughlymaps to grades of C or better, but is not always a given. Thus, each faculty member shouldmanually record these letter grades for each of his/her course students in a given semester.

The primary research question was: What are the learningpreferences for college students taking a fundamental engineering design graphics courses? As afollow-up question to the primary question the investigators explored: Do students taking acollege engineering design course and categorized as “at-risk” have different learningpreferences than students categorized as “not at-risk?” The primary research question wasinvestigated and analyzed through frequency-based ordinal data pertaining to student learnerpreference(s).

of institutions each having common FYEPs. Having acommon FYEP means that, all engineering students take the same introductory engineeringcourse(s). Common FYEPs were chosen because they are not discipline specific which providescontinuity across institutions and because they tend to focus on common topics such asteamwork, communication, graphing, problem solving, etc.For this analysis, we draw on five semi-structured interviews, each from a different institution, toprovide a broad picture of GTAs’ views on teaching competence. While this is a small sample,we believe that the interviews chosen are a strong representation of the experiences of GTAs andtherefore our qualitative analysis yields rich, meaningful and impactful results.
