Paper ID #37080Reflection on Design Teaching Before, During and After PandemicDr. Reem Roufail, University of Waterloo Reem Roufail is a materials engineer that is interested in engineering teaching and applying new technolo- gies to engage students in class. Reem believes that learning is a continuous process that does not end with earning a degree. This explains her willingness to explore different fields of engineering as opportunities to learn. She explored mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, petroleum engineering, sys- tems design, and biomedical engineering in her career paths from an academic
to as the digitalrevolution. Arguably the adoption of digital technologies, integration of robotics and automationare some of the key drivers of the third-industrial revolution. Although the third-industrialrevolution is still evolving, the invention of the internet and widespread use of digitaltechnologies and satellite communication systems fueled an entirely new period in the industrialrevolution. This new period which closely overlaps with the digital revolution is the fourthindustrial revolution, commonly came to be known as Industry 4.0 (I4.0). Figure 1 shows atimeline of evolution of industrial revolution.The term Industry 4.0 (I4.0) was first coined by the German government in 2011 as a part oftheir High-Tech Strategy for Germany [8

theseopportunities to students.To help better prepare students for work in the academy, self-efficacy [2] plays an important rolein determining their confidence to carry out research. This means that students must havepositive perceptions of their abilities and capabilities in order to achieve success within the REUprogram. Self-efficacy also includes recovering from challenges and perceived failure in order tolearn and improve in their capabilities and confidence. Overcoming these challenges is key tohelping students grow in their self-efficacy around research activities such as preparing andpresenting research forums and poster sessions, working with experienced faculty to conductresearch, and integrating as a member of the research community.This paper

not require a lot of effort to identify parts of theproblem as in interpreting engineering problems. Different kinds of symbolic information requiredifferent kinds of processing and place different demands on the students [30]. Similarly,different success criteria for solving mathematics and engineering problem may require adifferent level of evaluating strategies. Solving an engineering problem often requires anunderstanding of the context, understanding the issues and ways to evaluate the process. Studentsneed to identify more involved criteria and constraints in solving engineering problems.The findings of the study may carry implications for teaching and learning improvement in anacademic setting. For example, integrating group
betweennegotiating tasks, comparing assumptions, and aiding each other in understanding courseconcepts. Implications of this work include forming a better understanding of how students makedecisions, judgments and build knowledge when working together on an ill-defined modelingproblem. Similarly, the results may assist professors in iterating on assignment design to furtherengage students in knowledge creating and engineering judgment practices.IntroductionIndustry engineers are often tasked with solving ill-defined problems in a group with fellowengineers [1], [2]. Although engineering curriculums are constructed to prepare students forindustry, there is a documented disconnect between the ways that many students currently solveengineering problems in

U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social

This was primarily due to the culture of engineering and its focus on efficiency andrigor in the curriculum [31], evidenced by an “efficient and cost-effective transfer of a certainamount of content in a lockstep process” [77] (p. 258).

CHE LabAbstractA multi-dimensional survey was created and administered to better understand the change inself-perceived and actual student abilities in a CHE laboratory course between two differentstudent cohorts. One cohort experienced a traditional lab structure with a companion face-to-facelecture course (N=47), and the other cohort included pre-lab modules integrated with in-labactivities that served as intentional scaffolding for the student learning experience (N=18). Theoverall study was motivated by the desire to understand the impact curriculum revisions have onstudent experience and abilities, with the goal to improve the educational experience usingevidence-based practices. The guiding research questions driving this facet of the
approaches have demonstrated that students who utilize a wide range offactors in their consideration of a complex problem tended to produce better solutions.Humanitarian engineering has proven to be an effective approach to instilling students with theneed to consider multiple complex factors in solving global problems. Humanitarian engineersdevelop solutions that provide access to basic human needs and enhances quality of life [11-12]. The United Nations Millennium Development goals and the current SustainableDevelopment agenda have identified accessible clean water, shelter, waste disposal, health,and well-being for improvement in developing countries (www.undp.org).

aptitude [2]. When community service is integrated into a school’s curriculum, it hasbeen found to increase students’ enjoyment of learning, academic motivation, and performance[2-3]. In adults, reports have shown that volunteering improves physical and mental health,boosts self-esteem, and increases overall happiness [4]. Students who support communityengagement initiatives such as volunteering related to their discipline, gain applicable experienceand advocate for their careers [5].Service learning is one type of community service in which projects are assigned within astudent’s curriculum [6]. Within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM), [7] research has been conducted on how to improve student retention

This reflection occurs in their working groups.The modified ILD combines the theoretical class (mainly exposition by the instructor) withthe experimental class to offer students an integrative experience. This study involved 47students from two groups of a first-year university course in acoustical physics.Applying the modified ILD methodology, a qualitative study was conducted analyzing thestudents' responses to the guides and their conclusions. This study presents the results of theanalysis with a focus on determining the students' scientific skills in obtaining data

, which considers how individuals’ neurocognitive variations contribute to humanecosystems to support persistence and adaptation. This approach provides a framework forviewing neurodiversity as an integral part of human adaptation and suggests that the inclusion ofneurodivergent individuals in STEM fields may enhance our collective potential for innovationfor the benefit of society [39]. We also take a strengths-based approach that emphasizes theassets related to neurodiversity, while acknowledging individual challenges and questioning therigid conceptualizations of “normality” [40].Researcher Perspectives/PositionalityOur motivation and approach to this work is shaped by the personal experiences of severalauthors with ADHD and/or dyslexia, as

The study outlines thedifferences in the brain regions used by mechanical engineers from those used by architects [2].Another crucial factor to consider is the motivation of the students toward these designexperiences, especially throughout the curriculum. Research on student motivation has proventhe dynamic nature of motivation, even over a short time. Another study has shown that essentialmotivation factors also vary with the study year the student is currently enrolled in [3].Additionally, the influence of the presentation of problems in design projects is an importantaspect that educators may consider.
