project results in learning analytics tools for practice-basedSTEM learning that are appropriate for real-world learning environments.IntroductionThe PELARS1 project is intended as a testing ground and generator of 21st-Century STEMknowledge and skills. The project generates, analyses, uses and provides feedback for analyticsderived from hands-on, project-based and experiential learning scenarios. These scenarios are: 1. European High School level STEM classrooms. 2. Postsecondary Science and Engineering practical environments. 3. The more open-form studio environments of the Interaction Design Schools (which form the basis and inspiration for many of the project’s orientations).The project serves to help better understand learners' knowledge

fororal communication acts (Item 8; mean= 75; S.D. =18).At the other end of the spectrum, students reported the least increase in their confidence onItem 1, their ability to identify objectives in speaking about their work, (mean = 76;S.D.= 18).As Table 4 shows, there still was a statistically significant increase in this measure, but notthe strong increases shown in Items 3, 5, 6, and 8. Part of this lower measure of self-efficacymay have come from the highly directive approach of the design team in which studentswere not invited to think about their objectives but instead had a specific activity prescribed.Students then were instructed to complete that activity. A slower pace and more autonomymight have given students time to think critically

Crumpton-Young indicated that engineering leadership is the influence and ability to lead otherengineers and technical staff to design, create, innovate, implement and evaluate and assessservices and products [2].

These laboratoriesare accessible via the Internet 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. These advancements havebeen possible because of the growing advancement of Internet and networking technologies aswell as new developments in e-learning and e-work tools. The forerunners in this area areengineering disciplines and the natural sciences.Active learning by means of online laboratories is especially valuable for blended learningapproaches.

The educational project1 of the University of Valparaiso, reformulated in2012, has been defined as “learning outcomes oriented”, which is a nuanced interpretation ofthe learning outcomes educational model. This approach was undertaken to allow the initialintroduction of the learning outcomes model in a public and traditional university, whereresistance to change and administration formalism are serious threats to a massive curriculartransformation. Hence this definition does not necessarily force to completely change allcurricula, but rather a conceptual change that involves four key elements2: 1.

laboratories based onsimulations are called Virtual Laboratories [1-5]. On the other hand, hands-on/physicalexperiments require equipment. With the traditional approach of performing experimentdirectly with equipment, the need for equipment grows proportionally to the increase ofthe number of students, often resulting in considerable expenses. Following hands-onapproach, the only way for universities to share the same equipment is if the students of aother universities are moving physically to a given university to perform their laboratorysessions. We all now know that one way to overcome this drawback is the use of remotelaboratories [6-14]. Remote laboratories allow students to access and manipulate realequipment located anywhere in the world

produces significantlearning gains for students, although research is sparse on learning thataccrues from internships and co-ops in engineering (Linn, Howard, & Miller,2004). Still, it is estimated that thousands of students participate in either co-op or internships annually, 67% of recent college graduates completed atleast one internship while in school, and 56% of employers expect to hiremore interns in the future. Despite their widespread use and popularity, weknow relatively little about the influence of co-ops and internships on URMstudents' learning in engineering. This is the gap addressed by this study.                                                                                                                1  There is

Such a different, ifnot unique, pedagogy is developed based on three basic premises: (1) contextual understanding isbest achieved via direct engagements (as opposed to linear lecturing), hence the "inverted"learning, (2) what students learn depends on with whom they learn (instead of from whom theylearn), hence the "interactive" learning, and (3) diversity increases learning opportunity foreveryone, hence

leading to increasing strategic value of the application ofdesign in businesses (see Figure 1), the ‘Design Ladder’ model (DDC (2003)) highlights the value of design forcompetitiveness. Typically, companies’ design maturity, exhibited by their attitude towards design, is reflectedin how they integrate design thinking as part of their innovation process. In the first step of the ladder, design is anegligible part of their business. When design is applied as ‘style’, it is typically seen as an appearance attribute,relating to the final physical form of the product, which may be the responsibility of a designer or someone elsewithin the company. In the third step, design is not the result, but a method, which is integrated into the
