this transfer in a more effective manner [3]. The process of knowledge transfer ishighly dynamic and dependent on its content and relationship between student and teacher [4]and needs to be tailored to both for an effective outcome [5]. A number of different teachingmethods emerged over the years including active learning [6], flipping classroom [7, 8], problembased learning [9] to name just a few.After teaching mechanics courses in a traditional format for a number of years it becameapparent that any quantum jump in student learning success requires structural departure fromthe old teaching method and substantial overhaul modifications which would integrate differentpedagogical experiences and insights along with implementation of modern

Similar to the previously described components, the emphasis on the exchanges and training is the Water SDG. For example, the recent mission had joint research group meetings where alignment of research with the Water SDG was emphasized, a curriculum streamlining meeting that assessed the degree programs and their alignment with the Water SDG, and an Executive Seminar on Achieving the Water SDGs in Pakistan. The exchanges and training activities support development of all four capitals, with an emphasis on human

For instance,one of the participants mentioned that his program designed the curriculum to prepare theirgraduates for professional life: I hope all of our courses are getting our students ready [for] professional life.

This information could be coupled with pre andpost interviews of students regarding their attitudes towards empathy across disciplines. Whileboth more challenging and susceptible to our own biases, such an approach could provide morespecific data about the impact of our course.Why not just do service learning?Service learning classes are an integral part of the way in which engineering is taught at USD.Our new general engineering department has been founded on the premise that engineers needmultiple opportunities to understand the social context of their work

These experiences fit well within a dictionary definition of engineers,namely, “a person who has scientific training and who designs and builds complicatedproducts, machines, systems, or structures.” (Merriam-Webster). And yet, studentoutcomes for ABET accredited engineering programs include design within social,health, and safety constraints as well as broad education incorporating global and societalcontext.While there exist a myriad of potential approaches to integrate ‘practice’ into theengineering curriculum, the examples available often in the engineering educationliterature tend to focus upon opportunities for authentic learning such as the creation ofcapstone

Research experience is nottraditionally offered in an undergraduate curriculum, especially for community college students.An effective approach to address this gap is to offer summer research experience forundergraduate students.

To support this goal, the team will run summerworkshops where 4th through 12th grade educators from regional schools will be identified andthen trained in the relevant technologies. These workshops will last two weeks where the firstweek will be “teaching the teachers” and the second week will be devoted to assisting theteachers in developing appropriate curriculum that integrates the technologies discussed aboveinto their classroom

In particular, innovative strategies thatcombine Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with literacy have beenfound to provide beneficial gains in reading as well as in STEM subjects.4-13 One example of thisis the Seeds of Science, Roots of Reading (Seeds/Roots) curriculum which integrates literacywith scientific knowledge to provide a fun and authentic context for learning both subjects.5, 6, 14Another example is the Engineering is Elementary Curriculum which has a story book that goeswith each of the STEM activities
Training Programs Province Figure 2 entrepreneurial Capability Training System in XJTU3.2.1 A Research -and-Teaching-Integrated Model for Engineering Education InnovationResearch and teaching integration consists of two parts: entrepreneurial curriculum and collaborationwith industrial partners. To begin with, XJTU creates an overall systematic plan for practicaleducation that features a comprehensive entrepreneurial curriculum. With inputs and participationfrom the industry, XJTU’s plan increases the proportion of practical education in students’ credits.This is done in part by creating for-credit entrepreneurial courses. The plan also providesopportunities for industry to play a greater role in cooperative education

Give students first-hand experience by putting them into project teams and have them work a semester together to develop a product. • Understand the need for lifelong learning. We provide the students with case studies to then describe tools of lifelong-learning that they would use.We measure the effectiveness of the class in several ways. One is through feedback of an alumniadvisory council. A second way is through industry input. A third way is by measuring how wellthe students meet ABET outcomes. The fourth way is by surveying recent graduates
