Research results showed positive student feedback and notable progress in problem-solving activities. Survey responses by participating students showed positive impact of thescaffolding strategy. Also, the students expressed strong interest to further improve theirproblem-solving skills through similar future sessions. The scaffolding case study requiredextensive planning and preparation for the class sessions. In addition, the instructor consideredthe dynamics of non-cognitive factors especially for minorities and small class size.

Industrial Engineering Technology Curriculum RemappingAbstractIndustrial Engineering Technology curriculum generally provides wide spread knowledge inproblem solving, management of resources, and process planning. This paper remaps a typicalIndustrial Engineering Technology curriculum to align it with the four pillars of manufacturingknowledge (as identified by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers). A case study approach isused to take the courses of an Industrial Engineering Technology program, and develop an as-iscurriculum map. After that, a gap analysis is performed against the four pillars of manufacturingknowledge. The gap analysis is used to suggest modifications to the Industrial EngineeringTechnology curriculum, including addition of

Students for the Academic Job Market through a Training Program Inspired by Peer ReviewIntroduction The existence of a gender gap in the STEM fields is very prevalent across universities inthe United States1. According to data collected by the National Science Foundation, from 2002-2012 roughly 40% of doctoral degrees in STEM fields were conferred to women, yet in 2010,women accounted for only 27% of tenure-track assistant professorships in engineering.2 Thislowered representation of women in upper divisions of academia is not due to a lack of interest.The Royal Society of Chemistry in London found in a 2006 survey that 70% of first year femalestudents planned to be in a research career, yet only 37% had that goal by their third

Dewey describedlearning as a process of participating in an activity, reflecting on that experience and later usingthe conclusions when doing other activities.3 Lewin, a social psychologist, believed that thechallenge of modern education was how to implement “concrete experience” based on Dewey’sprocess.4 Kolb unified the process in 1984 as the “Experiential Learning Cycle”, which connectsthe four actions of learning.4 Kolb’s cycle depicts experience explained by reflection, reflectioncreating new concepts, and new concepts used to plan new experiences.

note that this type of course is not intended as an open elective, but instead as a finalcourse for the completion of a minor in the sciences. Thus, students would likely already haverelationships established with the faculty with whom they will conduct research. Often, theprocess of planning out a project will take place over a semester preceding the research courseitself (for example in Physics, while a student is still taking modern physics). Since researchprojects typically take quite some time to actually start up, this lead in time is essential to getdocuments, papers and sourcing established.

Ethics education is a very important part ofany engineering program. ABET requires that all programs seeking accreditation mustdemonstrate that their graduates have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility[4].Integrating professional skills into the technical content of engineering curriculum has alwaysbeen a
