for universities with first year engineering programswhich have lectures for hundreds students at the same time and very high student per professorratio. One example of such a course can be Mechanics (Mora, Sancho-Bru, Iserte, & Sánchez,2012). ePortfolios could be designed to help assess formative, continuous, and transfer of learningin courses with a large number of students, as well as for assessing graduate engineering programs(Kajfez et al., 2013), or supervision of final engineering projects (Filella et al., 2012). Furthermore, ePortfolios can document experiential learning and research-based learningthrough online engineering labs through cloud-based personal learning environments (Terkowsky,May, Haertel, & Pleul, 2013
as many of the 2015-2016 ECS Faculty Development Seminars as possible • Attend the ECS Faculty Half-day Teaching Workshop on December 8, 2015 • Attend a luncheon on December 8, 2015, with past KEEN Innovators to discuss lessons learned/best practices • Design an implementation plan to design, develop, and deploy the module(s) produced in the award timeframe • Assess the initial results of the module(s) • Make the module and all related teaching materials available for use throughout the KEEN network • Results of implementation and assessment will be published in a discipline-appropriate venue in the 2016-2017academic year. One faculty member has already published his results in the spring 2016
. As illustrated in Figure 1, the focus ofthis problem-based activity is to promote students’ learning in the core concepts related toHyper-Text Transfer Protocol Secure, or HTTP over SSL. The learning objectives for thisparticular activity are: (a) review firewall, network design and web server configurationprocesses; (b) identify differences between HTTPS and HTTP; (c) migrate a website from HTTPto HTTPS; (d) acquire, activate and install certificates; (e) identify potential vulnerabilitiesrelated to data security; (f) define best practices related to HTTPS implementation; and (g)delineate optimal encryption method. Figure 1 presents the MEA.Once the learning objectives were identified, the next step in the process was to apply the
students can more easilyobtain manufacturing experience while building on their design knowledge and producing theparts that they need for their projects.The Artisan and Fabrication LaboratoryThe Artisan and Fabrication Laboratory (AFL) at a large Midwestern university providesengineering students, faculty, and staff with hands-on access to a state-of-the-art manufacturingfacility in a “maker-space” like environment. The mission of the AFL is multifaceted, but highlyfocused on student learning. Essentially, students are provided the opportunity to manufacturetheir own parts while being overseen by laboratory staff that provide expert training on not onlymachine operation, but also on safety best-practices. The laboratory is designed to mimic

She completed her PhD in Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder specializing in Physics Education Research. Chandra’s work involves designing and researching contexts for learning within higher education. In her research, Chandra draws from the perspectives of anthropol- ogy, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences. Through in-situ studies of classroom and institutional practice, Chandra focuses on the role of culture in science learning and educational change. Chandra pur- sues projects that have high potential
next section of this paper presents some typical characteristics of a UAS in Germany. It is anestablished type of a higher education institution differing from the traditional universities by itsapplication orientation onto practice. The intention of the section is to highlight the specificimportance of UAS graduates in ongoing innovation processes. Section 3 introduces the topic ofempathy in design and technological development as a crucial requirement. Role playing isintroduced as a means to bring about a more empathic thinking in Section 4. Section 5 describesthe case study, the schedule of the full day seminar, and the intended learning outcomes. InSection 6 the learning outcomes for the teacher and students are discussed followed by a
boundaries coincide with those of a country, it does make sense for engineering students to gain experiences with people who are participating in, responding to, and/or challenged by cultural perspectives that differ from their own, regardless of how these differences might map across or within countries.” (2006) With an acknowledged need for our engineering students to graduate with some level of global competency and awareness, the focus currently rests on how best to define, achieve, and measure this competence for our students. Several approaches are available and under study which provide opportunities for engineering students to develop global and multicultural skills. Some of these approaches incorporate experiences where to varying

These materials are currently beingadopted by members of the Center for Infrastructure Transformation and Education (CIT-E)community of practice. CIT-E is a group of faculty from 25 universities in the U.S. and Canadaseeking to improve infrastructure
idealized systems to which thebasic textbook principles can be applied. This modeling process bridges the gap betweentextbook theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom, and the application of this knowledge tosolving problems in practice. “Research confirmed in the 90s that students learn more bygrappling with open-ended problems, like creating a computer game or designing an alternativeenergy system, than listening to lectures”1. For example, in the area of structural engineering,the process of defining a system involves defining the system geometric model, material model,load model, connection model, boundary and support conditions, and the analysis model. In atextbook problem, all of the above are explicitly given to the student who simply
