Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers. Administrator (deans, chairs, and decision makers in general)should investigate ways for helping new faculty members gain industrial experienceby spending a semester on-site at a cooperating industry, using summer release timeto work within industry, or allow for a dual appointment, say fifty-fifty, i.e., fiftypercent of faculty time at the College and the other fifty percent at an industry nearby.Perhaps the legal and organizational

Using incentives to encourageyoung faculty to increase their commitment to teaching may help, but continuing tohire new faculty whose primary emphasis and interests is in research, inevitably doesreinforce existing cultural norms that favor research over teaching.Facilitate and Support Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization.

Engineering self-efficacy is emerging as a usefultheory in evaluating the confidence of students to pursue engineering related professions and theconfidence of teachers to teach engineering related content. In particular, Faber et al. [5] andYoon et al. [18] developed the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey and TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS) survey, respectively. Such surveys used in conjunctionwith outreach activities may help allocate time and resources to more influential activities. In summary, the literature provides valuable information about engineering education inK-12, including typical types of program offerings, what has been most effective, andsuggestions for assessment to help evaluate the

In 2015, he won the Ronald S.

His current research focuses on rendering visible and integrating the social justice dimensions inherent in three components of the engineering curriculum—in engineering sciences, engineering design, and humanities and social science courses.

opportunities.IntroductionMost universities use a capstone senior design course(s) to address ABET’s General Criterion 5which states “students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculumculminating in a major design experience” [1]. These programs likely use the capstone course(s)to assess at least some combination of ABET Student Outcomes 3b (design and conductexperiments, analyze and interpret data), 3d (function on multidisciplinary teams), 3e (identify,formulate, and solve engineering problems), and 3g (communicate effectively) [1]. In theory,the benefits students gain through exposure to such an experience and the advantages facultyhave in using the experience for assessment are substantial and well-documented. However,students who have never

When combined with an in-depth understanding of the structure, the creation processbecomes more precise. Furthermore, this program is currently the industry standard, much likeAutoCAD was when it arose in the 1980’s; it has become the design standard and a larger part ofthe Building Information Modeling (BIM) movement within the construction industry and so ifany adjustments had to be made to the actual building, multiple firms could use the files toinform the changes. This also allows for the opportunity to test certain conditions, such as anychanges to be made and determine their impacts within the software prior to construction.Finally, Revit
substantial qualification in engineering education pedagogy.Our assertion is that the USA should not risk being left behind, and thus it is imperative that awider cohort of early career engineering educators should acquire substantial pedagogical andeducational training during their initial year(s) of teaching. “Pedagogy” being taken to meaninstructional techniques, and “educational” to encompass the curriculum and the philosophiesthat underpin pedagogies. Four propositions support this view: 1. Assuming that teaching is a professional activity, it is incumbent on a professional to be aware of the knowledge that constructs the activity and act therein taking into account the evidence available. 2. Without such knowledge it is difficult

how best the curriculum might be changed, tobetter meet this goal. Given Mina’s criticism of engineering students that they are nottechnologically literate, higher education might begin with a general programme of liberaleducation as suggested by Heywood. That model through problem based/project learningprovides a range of contexts that, should in principle, deal with the problem of control indifferent contexts. But, as Cheville recognises this is becoming increasingly difficult becauseof the tension between the increasing gap between technological and educational capability.He suggests that we should all master some (rather than many) aspect(s) of episteme andtechne, and we should learn to teach that aspect within “communities in which
PD (professional development) experience took place in December. I created a unit to team teach with our 8th grade science teacher, Holly. She was very excited about the experience. I shared the lesson plans with her and secured all necessary materials for the unit. I taught the first class and then we team taught the next 2 classes and then she taught the last class on her own. She felt confident by the 4th class. My second PD experience took place in May. I shared BD (another rural teacher in program)’s MagLev unit with Holly… I told her I would help her in anyway except I could not be there to teach the unit… We are planning on meeting this summer to plan a life science unit and maybe more
lead women to think that they are not a fit forcareers in engineering. The authors describe several ways in which women have differentexperiences from men, particularly in confronting sexist environments or supervisors. Inaddition, particularly for women, the authors write, a boring or mundane internship can leadstudents to question whether they belong in engineering at all.The accounts presented in this paper add to this story by highlighting the experiences of studentsat and after graduation. One caveat, however—our sample is somewhat different from Seron etal.’s in that they followed engineers through their undergraduate experience whereas we selectedengineers at career launch (the end of or shortly after their undergraduate experience).

through a “quality assurance” regime. To provide a flavor of thecurrent approach, faculty are required to specify the number of hours students need to spend tolearn specific content; academic credit as well as faculty course loads are then assigned usingthis measure, even as the specified learning outcomes provides the basis for determining whatdegree programs students are qualified to enter at the start of the second cycle. This means thatEurope has embraced a learning outcomes regime far more extensive than anything required byABET EC 2000’s accreditation protocols.6As an institutional historian and an ethnographer of educational institutions, we have reason tobelieve that the changes brought about by the Bologna Process will not occur all
affairs organizations. Organizational structures for student support services inuniversities have been studied for many years, and tend to be updated periodically as newgenerations of students (and parents) arrive on campus with new expectations about supportservices. The structural model for these services is highly centralized within ODOS at ourinstitution. ODOS oversees student programming as well as residence life, Greek life, and othercore services; they also provide routine support to students in need. The overall variety instudent affairs organizational models is staggering[5], and our institution fits neatly intoManning et al.’s “administrative-centered traditional” model, specifically the “functional silo”model.
