Position Verification in a GD&T Course: A Longitudinal StudyAbstractA Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) course has been offered at Illinois StateUniversity since the Fall of 2016. This course was added as an elective to the EngineeringTechnology curriculum at the recommendation of the industrial advisory board to help givestudents a better understanding of dimensioning and tolerancing through the design,manufacturing, and product inspection processes. The course includes weekly study of GD&Tconcepts, measurement/inspection activities, and CAD modeling and drawing activities. Acritical topic in GD&T is locating holes using the position tolerance rather than conventionalplus/minus

Increasing access and fostering a greater sense of belongingmakes students want to stay enrolled and graduate.OER in E/ET ProgramsOER history dates to 1994, when an NSF grant led by James Spohrer resulted in the creationMERLOT to identify and provide access to mostly free, online curriculum materials for highereducation [7]. Rice University’s Connecxions (now OpenStax) and MIT’sOpenCourseWare project were seen as the first two recognized OER project, though the openeducation movement predates this event with roots in open source, open and distance learningand open knowledge. David Wiley coined the term open content in 1998 and

The data were collectedthrough interviews, which sought to capture participants’ motivations for serving as allies,examples of how they serve as such, and the ways in which their ally status affectedrelationships. Data analysis was conducted using both inductive and deductive coding. Findings demonstrate that participants in this study possessed a number of sharedcharacteristics, including an awareness of the additional barriers that women must navigate andrecognition of the importance of building relationships with undergraduate women, both ofwhich seem to be beneficial in allyship efforts. Further, while allies understood that their role asadvocates evolved and developed over time, many participants

We sought answers to the followingresearch questions: 1) How do scholars define storytelling? 2) What benefits do scholarsconjecture storytelling and personal narratives provide to students in higher education? 3) Whatpedagogical approaches have been used to integrate storytelling into learning activities inhigher education? 4) How have scholars approached studying the impact of story-drivenlearning in higher education? After querying Google Scholar and applying ourexclusion/inclusion criteria, we identified 37 articles that centered on story-driven learning inhigher education. Although the articles ranged in terms of educational discipline and form ofstorytelling focus

There is some suggestion thatthe behavioristic or neobehavioristic theories may provide some interesting facets ofintegration in new theories along with the information-processing conception which hasbecome more and more popular in recent years. On the other hand, we could defineinstructional theory as an integrated set of principles which prescribe guidelines forarranging conditions to achieve educational objectives. It is assumed that these principleswill be applicable to educational situations in which a teacher is present as well as to thevarious contemporary educational methods implemented primarily through the design ofeducational materials. It is also assumed that instructional theories in

Additionally, academic librarians and libraries encourage and foster a sense ofbelonging for students via events, programs, and employment, as well as by helping themdevelop academic and job-relevant skills [26], [24], [27]. These many student-centered effortscan, and often are, implemented to support specific under-represented populations, such asdisabled students. With focused intention, self-education, and sustained effort, librarians canbuild in support for disabled

In this paper, we focus attention on program development considerationssurrounding our undergraduate BS in Design Engineering program. This program is built upon a“general engineering” framework with two significant exceptions. First, the programsystematically situates “design” expertise at the program’s core, both in terms of students’ expertidentity and in terms of the curricular structure. Second, the program offers wide-ranging “focusareas” as an alternative to disciplinary depth. The curricular logic is that students developdomain

]. We defined engineering identity as a socio-culturally and personallyconstructed view of yourself as an individual who can do engineering design and who feels asense of belonging within engineering. This definition is an adaptation of the PEAR Institute andthe sociocultural perspectives reviewed by Verhoeven and colleagues. Future studies ofSUPERCHARGE will utilize the Common Instrument for students and educators from the PEARInstitute [7]. The STEM Learning Ecosystem model was used as a lens to explore the factors ofinfluence in engineering and STEM identity development in this study.MethodologyParticipantsThis study is a work in progress and at this time the participants included four undergraduatestudents who were working as curriculum

Parents’ experiences with CT and engineering areconsistent with literature suggesting that CT and engineering should be integrated with otherdisciplines [15]; [21]. As Yadav et al. [46] indicate, using CT vocabulary across the curriculumcan reinforce students’ understanding of the terms and help students see their applicability acrossthe curriculum and in daily life. Hence, it is vital to develop parents’ knowledge of CT andengineering and its core components if it is to be infused early into children's education [47].Furthermore, parents

Studies have suggested facilitating EM projects with the makerspace areexcellent opportunities to develop student skills in areas related to entrepreneurial mindset such asopportunity recognition, learning from failure, stakeholder engagement, and value creation [1, 2].

An empathy map, a design thinking tool, was used by investigators toanalyze each interview, identifying needs and insights about students’ engagement in eachcourse. Based on this initial understanding of student learning challenges, researchers generatedideas to improve learning. Participants were then invited to join small focus group discussions toshare their feedback and contribute their own ideas on the reimagined learning experience.From researchers’ reflections and collaborative discussions, three themes emerged in relation tofundamental learning problems

In this case,an ethics education program may focus on helping students to deepen their understanding ofthese principles and apply them in a variety of different contexts.To assess our current ethics education curriculum, we used the EERI as a pre-test and a post-test.The pre-test was intended to assess students' baseline knowledge and understanding of ethicalprinciples, while the post-test was administered after students completed an ethics educationprogram. We used the EERI to assess students’ growth in engineering ethics understanding atboth the course and program level to

since not all ECE students take a course on computer networks.A decision to make while designing the course is whether computer networks would be requiredas a prerequisite for the information security course, especially since network security is animportant part of the course. We decided to not add that prerequisite so as to make the coursemore accessible. It is noted that there are two programs in ECE, namely electrical engineeringand computer engineering. Computer engineering students are required to take the informationsecurity course (in a recently revamped curriculum), while electrical engineering students cantake it as an elective. Also, computer networks is a core course in the computer engineeringprogram, but not in the electrical

Forexample, it has been argued that engineering education should put greater emphasis onengineers’ social responsibility toward "an equal distribution of rights, opportunities, andresources in order to enhance human capabilities and reduce the risk and harms among thecitizens of a society" [4, p. 10]. Thus, complementary education on social justice implications ofcivil engineering may benefit civil engineering education further.We argue that integration of social implications
