Engineering at Kettering University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018Synergies between Experience and Study in Graduate Engineering EducationAbstractVarious programs and research initiatives seek to support the success of master’s students inengineering. However, as programs can have diverse groups of students, supporting their successmay not be a one-size fits all. Our work focuses on a group we define as Returners, who spentfive or more years in industry before returning to university for a master’s degree. As part of alarger survey with approximately 300 engineering student participants who were pursuingmaster’s degrees, we asked them to evaluate the influence of their prior work experiences ontheir
potential contributionsto the typology of effective teaching strategies. The study is anchored by a research question:what student-centered teaching approaches do exemplary engineering instructors employ topromote knowledge-building in their courses, and how do these approaches align with theirbeliefs about teaching?Data CollectionTo address the research question, the study employed the participatory action research (PAR)methodology, which prioritizes the invaluable input and expertise of participants. The PARapproach is best suited for this study because it actively improves social practices [10], involvingparticipants in designing data collection, reflecting on data, and testing identified practices intheir own contexts.

Previous studies have highlighted a link between students’ performance inintroductory mathematics courses and graduation rates. Focusing on a crucial foundationalcourse within the
previousNational Science Education Standards (NRC, 1990), The Framework and the NGSSoutline a learning progression of science and engineering practices for which studentsshould develop increasingly complex skills as they progress from early elementarythrough high school. Moreover, The Framework and the NGSS outline grade level andgrade band performance expectations related to engineering design. As a result,students are expected to engage in engineering design projects and engineering-relatedproblems in their science coursework. In an effort to address the need for high quality K12 engineering curricula, wedeveloped, implemented, and piloted the Biomedical Engineering Curriculum (BMEC, apseudonym for our program).
