Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) Scholars’ program recentlyfunded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that focuses on students who transfer at the 3rdyear level from 2-year schools to our university. With scholarship support from NSF, we aim torecruit, retain and graduate a total of 75 transfer scholars in our engineering and engineeringtechnology BS degree programs. The NSF scholarship is in addition to grants and aid awardedby our university. In support of this project, the university will contribute $50,000 to ensure thatTiPi scholars have continuing financial support after the grant expires and help them graduate ontime. This support indicates the university’s enthusiasm, a firm commitment of service to ourengineering and engineering technology

This phase iscalled ‘CREATE’ on which the students create their own projects.As described by Lee et al.6, the goals of these phases are to learn three major terms calledabstraction, automation and analysis that the authors have found as an effective way to describeCT to youth; however, issues and challenges such as the lack of curriculum standards,infrastructure and lack of opportunities for teachers to learn CT make it difficult to implementCT in day-to-day classrooms activities 6. As such, many programs have been focalized inimplementing after hours CT activities. An example of such projects is the Project GUTS(Growing Up Thinking Scientifically)7.With the current implementation of the Common Core Standards (in particular the

While theteacher should determine what should be learnt the traditional methods of the stage of“precision” will not achieve “romance”. Methods more akin to those used in primary(elementary) schools are better tuned for its accomplishment e.g., projects and case studies.Whitehead attributed the success of the Montessori system to the dominance of romance in theprogramme [8, p 62) but as has been shown project work and case studies and methods likedebating also require the completion of the other stages of the cycle. It is to quote EdmundHolmes “the path to realisation” [cited in 8, p 66]. It provides the initial basis for insight into thefield of human inquiry and human opinion that

Finally, furtherimplications for practice and future directions for research are identified.MethodsThe research method was a systematic review of research articles. Following systematicreview procedures proposed by Gough, Oliver [18], the goal of the search was to identify arepresentative set of articles describing the use of active learning in engineering education,specifically focused on the use of TBL. The search was done simultaneously using twojournal article databases: The Journal of Engineering Education and Engineering Village.The second database provided coverage of the primary journals in engineering and
overbearing; however, it is very true thathumanity’s future relies on the creative mind. As educators, we look forward to inspiring,motivating, and fostering students’ creativity. Most technology and engineering students tend toquickly focus on the technical aspects of a project, and design students tend to focus on usability,quality, innovation, and the aesthetics of products [2]. In this paper, we discuss our collaborativepractice to integrate these two tendency directions and inspire creativity in the practice.

manufacturing facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of engineering and management principles. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department. She worked in the Commercial Buildings group, developing energy effi- ciency programs and researching technical and non-technical barriers to energy efficiency in the buildings industry. She has a background in
industry partners. The project subsequently identified towhat extent, and how, each skill is contained as a student-gained competency within thecurriculum.In order to identify and understand the skills required by employers, they must be engaged andinvolved. Often this entails an educational institution creating a forum where an employerrepresentative can experience the institution’s commitment and communicate their knowledge ofrequired skills.The NSF project mentioned previously identified critical technical and non-technical skills aswell, and further created linkages between courses, programs, and careers. The project, originallybegun in 2008, consisted of a one-day planning conference with manufacturing representativesto learn their views

Engineering Education, 2014 A Mature Approach to AssessmentAbstractEducators can tend to focus on teaching rather than student learning. As such, assessing studentoutcomes is perceived as additional work not directly related to their craft and is an occasionalexercise required to meet the demands of program accreditors. This attitude parallels that ofsoftware developers who see the need to deliver a software project on time and on budget assomething that constrains their creative work. The Capability Maturity Model has been adoptedby many software organizations as a framework to help change attitudes and improve thesoftware development process. In this paper we show that the same principles can be applied tothe assessment
Page 24.66.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A Method for Adjusting Group-Based GradesAbstractGrades for assignments completed as an individual are a reflection of a student’s actual work,whereas the grade for a group assignment is easily confounded by the effects of their teammates(positively and negatively). Assigning grades to individuals for a group project is importantbecause instructors want to assign grades that reflect effort as well as content. Since all studentsin a group typically receive the same grade for a group assignment, group grades have theundesirable effect of obscuring a student’s true performance. Thus, it is desirable to develop amethod which could be
