, that is, theidealized vision of the curriculum design put forth by designers in the printed materials used forthe course. Yet, it must be noted, curricula are generally not implemented as planned, and maynot even unfold the same ways under the guidance of the same teacher in different class sections.Consequently, analyses of the intended curriculum paint a foundational but incomplete picture ofa course that gives so much attention to in-class group project work. To address thisshortcoming, Porter and colleagues22 distinguish the intended from the enacted curriculum. Theenacted curriculum refers to the specific content as it is actually taught by teachers and studiedby students during the course of learning and instruction.Analysis of the

The paper shows howcooperative learning can advance academic success, quality of relationships, psychologicaladjustments, and attitudes toward the college experience. A number of relevant questions docome to mind, including: What needs to be done to move the process forward? What are the keycomponents of successful deployment of active learning in general and cooperative learning inparticular? How to foster and expand the community of engineering faculty who decide to usecooperative learning? What plans and resources need to be mobilized to institutionalizepedagogies of engagement including cooperative learning, at the department or college level?Achieving the change needed in

She also noted that there are staff members who help parents locate childcare intown, but without way to assess the quality of those facilities. She suggested that the universityshould have a system to help the childcare facilities plan for additional resources in order to meetthe high demand of these services on campus. Lastly, she felt that twelve weeks of parental leavewas not enough to find suitable child care for her. In the box below, a dashed line was

This group develops then researches games designed to help school-agedchildren learn to “think like a professional,” developing games for engineering, urban planning,and journalism. The epistemic frame helps researchers think through what “thinking like aprofessional” actually means in the context of people’s speech and actions.

We argue here that the typical descriptions of innovation competencies arecorrect but incomplete, lacking critical dimensions that are essential for planning an educationalcurriculum and assessing progress within it.The foundation of our model of innovation competencies rests on our definition of innovation:The ability to develop novel solutions to problems that result in significantly enhancedstakeholder satisfaction. As engineering educators, we believe that innovation is only effectivewhen it includes the full cycle leading to delivery of improved stakeholder outcomes, and thisintroduces challenges
