Such values mightbe self-realization, creativity and innovation, working with people and helping others.”14 For theengineering identity to resonate with civic-minded Millennial females, it must convey the roleengineers play in fostering a strong sense of community, both local and global.3.

. Often they are both.One of the simplest mental models or schemas of how people learn, which dates back at least toAristotle, is the learner as a tabula rasa, or blank slate upon which perception and experienceimprint knowledge which then becomes useful through a process of abstraction. The mind as ablank slate contrasts with the Platonic view of the mind (or soul) as existing before birth andcoming into this world with some knowledge. The tabula rasa view has a long history includingSt. Thomas of Aquinas introducing it into Church doctrine and its adoption in Locke’sempiricism which has a strong influence in engineering [9]. Those who hold this model oflearning view students as learning what we teach them, so the process of education is to

The course is challenging for instructors andextremely difficult for students. Pedagogy in electromagnetism has been an active subject in the researchliterature. We can find many useful ideas about what and how to teach.Instead of the what and the how, our focus is on the internal mechanism oflearning. Two basic questions come under the focus: a) What happens toa mind when it is getting to know a concept? and b) In what way can

From this understanding, engineering educators can develop activitiesand assignments that foster these attitudes and enforce practice in the activities of lifelonglearners.IntroductionIn the West, the educational system shows signs of an imminent failure. Whether by design,negligence, or ignorance, graduates from American high schools lack critical thinking andmastery of basic knowledge to be successful in life, higher education, or engineering [1]–[5]. Inmany ways, the current educational moment has forgotten its two-fold aim: “the systematicdevelopment and cultivation of powers of mind and body” and “the systematic inculcation

When asking engineering students to envision visual notetaking as a design process, it isimportant to keep in mind that not all students might know the language or framing of designthinking, convergent thinking, or divergent thinking. We posit this as an opportunity to introducethe culture and knowledge of design thinking mediated through visual notetaking.Visual notetaking supports cognitive processing in three parts. Computational offloading meansdifferent external representations such as graphs and models reduce the amount of cognitiveeffort to solve problems [14].
