Living in an International World: Assessing Students’ Global Awareness Somer Chipperfield, Kelly Yoder, Sadan Kulturel-Konak, Abdullah Konak Penn State Berks AbstractEngineers are now often working internationally and across diverse cultures in today’s globaleconomy. Therefore, students should become increasingly globally aware in order to be betterprepared for a career in an international knowledge-based society. Measuring students’ globalawareness is not a simple task. In this paper, our primary emphasis is on understanding Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students

valley and broaden the use of evidence-based practices in engineering classrooms. In the majority of cases, these efforts are focused on particular interventions, e.g. encouraging instructors to incorporate in-class group problem solving or to use a particular technology tool3. While the particular intervention may prove useful for some instructors and some courses, it is not always chosen with the needs or challenges of the instructor in mind. We argue that efforts to broaden use of innovative instructional techniques can be more successful when faculty have ownership of how change is implemented in their classes (rather than having strategies mandated). Higher education faculty members do have significant autonomy in their teaching, and we
need for time consuming andexpensive manual balancing procedures and equipment. Therm-Omega-Tech is a majorsupporter for Sam Houston State University (SHSU) whose goal is to extend academic studiesfor future engineering technology students. A group of engineering technology students andresidence life office staff have been challenged with a multi-year instrumentation project. Thestudy started in May 2012 and continues to challenge young minds after multiple phases of theproject have been completed. Students were given multiple tasks to install circuit solver TRVvalves in university dorms to test the valves. The first task was to work with an engineering firmto learn the required design work. After approval of the design work, students worked
“Troubleshooting” in engineering education?Here, responses of design students to Questions 1, 2, and 3 are summarized. Based on the responses toQuestion 1, where the importance of design is similarly recognized at the beginning and the end of thesemester, the respondents change their mind, regarding the importance of the teaching of troubleshootingwithin design courses. Regarding the Question 3 survey, we notice a progress in term of understanding ofthe difference between two aspects of problem solving: design and troubleshooting.
