.5. Multidisciplinary Learning: Instructors can incorporate civility as a multidisciplinary topicassignment. The instructor can develop a “current topic assignment” where students are requiredto research or discuss a non-technical issue related to their careers. For example, the 2016 U.S.Presidential Campaigns present an opportunity for students to discuss the candidates’ leadershipabilities and policy ideas. When considering the controversial rhetoric spoken by somecandidates, civility can also be discussed. The election of a new U.S. President is relevant forengineering and technology students since it impacts their education and careers. Table 14provides an example of the potential Components of Civility that can be satisfied using

The use of this outline tied the engineering content to education practices tocreate the highest amount of internalization for students in a format that was easy to accessand understand.

course is minimal as theTAs receive course credit rather than pay for this extra time and the course can be taught by agraduate student.Taking an iterative, design research approach to this course, [5] surveys are collected before andafter each semester, and the content is revised as necessary. The TAs response to the courseranges from not seeing the point to becoming deeply engaged and committed to learning more toimprove their teaching. There remains a concern about the need to repeat content for new TAs,aligning the pedagogical theory with the current needs of the TAs, and integration with eachcourse specifically, in order to help TAs develop pedagogic content knowledge.The current iteration of the course is focused more on aligning with the
inverted sections with those in control sections (i.e., traditional coursemodel). Treatment and control students completed the same measures (e.g., content assessmentsand student attitude surveys) and faculty members, who taught in both conditions, alsocompleted reflection papers related to their experiences. The guiding research questions for thestudy and an overview of the assessment measures are shown in Table 1 below (more details onassessment measures are included in a subsequent section of this paper). In the final year of thestudy, the researchers designed what they felt were “best practices” for the inverted model in allsections of their courses and the same outcome measures were used.Table1.EvaluationQuestionsandOutcomeMeasures
. These so calledprofessional master’s or Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees are designed for the individualwho is seeking a competitive edge upon embarking on a career in industry, but is not interestedin completing an in-depth research project and publishing. Students entering these programs areanxious to enter the work force, as such the programs are typically designed to be completed in-residence, in one year or less. While it is not impossible to do so, the large majority of theseindividuals will not continue on to complete a Ph.D. upon graduation from these programs. Assuch, the M.Eng. degree is often viewed as a terminal graduate degree.The professional master’s degree is of course not a novel concept. Around the turn of the centurythe

This communicationdeepens the understanding of both parties.Armed with university7 and financial support3, and cognizant of the personal and publicbenefits15,18, the only remaining question is of specifics. What work can be done? For those withan inclination to educational research, museums can provide an excellent laboratory for the studyof human learning. Many already are engaged in this sort of work31. There is also room forcontributions to the development and evalulation of the practices in the design of outreachprograms27.

ResultsAs noted, students in the Fall 2015 cohort were given the option of attending lectures in-person,viewing videos of the lectures online, or using a combination of in-class and video lectures toprepare for their quizzes.
