However, there is noclear consensus on what knowledge students need in order to be able to accomplish the tasks thatemployers are expecting. We are in the process of developing a comprehensive curriculum tailored toteaching students the necessary Data Mining theory and skills in our institution.Our proposed curriculum is influenced by data gathered from syllabi of courses taught in the area of DataMining at different institutions of higher education across the United States. Each syllabus was used togather information for the topics taught in the class, the textbook and reading materials, the primarylanguage used to teach students the concepts, and the frequency of

However,STEAM did not gain as much steam as STEM yet, and it is not as popular either.Qualifications Required for the Position of Instructor for Engineering Courses:A scan of more than one hundred online announcements for engineering faculty positions atvarious institutes of higher education in the US and a few parts of the world was executed. Itrevealed expected similarities as well as differences in listing the qualifications needed tobecome an instructor for engineering courses.

It seemed like the tests were designed to trick not test.” • “The course seems to be more of a survey of many concepts and ideas as opposed to a set of connected concepts that build on one another. This is okay, but I feel like some of the lectures could be reorganized for more flow.” • “I liked that Learning Suite (the online schedule and grading system) was very organized, and the course structure was the same all semester, but I didn’t learn much…It would be more appropriate as a 400 level course to be less broad and delve more deeply into

A community of learning for transformativepedagogy involves “making the classroom a democratic setting where everyone feels aresponsibility to contribute” [1, p. 39]. My efforts to build a community of learning in ENG 3020began on the first day of class. After going through the course syllabus, I devoted time toclassroom conduct and norms.

We recommend similar policies adapted to your courses toincentivize students (e.g., those who benefit from more guiding structure or who are tempted toprocrastinate) to stay engaged and not fall behind.Observations and Tips: This is a very different grading structure that many students are notfamiliar with, so it is helpful to review the grading structure and the retesting process more thanonce (e.g., after the first testing session when they may have more motivation to understand thestructure than on the first day of class when the syllabus was presented).
