Afterwards the evening was centered around connecting through whole group games, followed by a conversation with one other attendee (three rounds). The night concluded with an unstructured bonfire, and each cabin group was led to their cabin by pairs of seniors who served as resident guides.2. Monday: The day was built around eight small group activities. Each student was assigned to the same group which then travelled to different locations around the camp to engage in a variety of design, teaming, and reflective activities. The evening focused on the whole cohort coming together for a welcome to engineering

sustainability when students pursue the certificate. Proceedings of the 2007 ASEE North Midwest Sectional Conference However, students in both the ISD and PCMI program complete an international experience which greatly increases their knowledge of sustainable development. 2. A content analysis of student reports (fully described in Fuchs and Mihelcic, 2006) showed that students have knowledge of sustainability “language” as determined from the Sustainable Futures model. Their use of certain words and not others may reflect a) the research or project topic, b) the project or client needs, or c) that certain concepts are taught better than others. Credits ISD

and sustainability is essential to address the issue identified above. The curriculum should provide a breadth of material to equip students with the concepts and means to incorporate sustainability design awareness into PBE. Sustainability and PBE themes should be reflected in the individual courses and in the overall CEE program. The basic components in integrated course design (Fink, 2003) for significant learning include: formulate the learning goals, select the teaching/learning activities, and design the feedback and assessment procedures. Learning Goals When the principles of integrated design are applied to the framework of integrating sustainability and PBE into CEE curriculum, the following

This discussion naturally leads to discussion of another analytical method – namely, the solution of the problem of wave reflection at a two-layer interface. This is carried out for the general case, and provides an opportunity to discuss reflection and transmission coefficients and surface waves.E.) Review of vector space concepts A transition is made at this point in the course to shift from finite-difference methods to other techniques used in computational electromagnetics. Since several of the other methods rely heavily on vector space concepts, a review is provided of the concepts of inner products, norms, orthogonality, etc.F.) Variational methods Vector

Podcasts have the advantages of pause and replay by thestudent, important for such reflective course elements like lecture. The podcast, andcompanion web site, directed the student to appropriate textbook material. Class timethen built upon the podcast “lectures” with a mix of hands-on activities, problems, fieldtrips, and discussion. This learning process is depicted in Figure 4. The PEL cycle, anadaptation of that by Kolb,3 creates an interdependence of the three learning elements: thepodcasts, the textbook, and the in-class activities.

review materials and resources multiple times allowing a much more student-centered approach. The instructor should use this to their advantage whenever possible. For example, promote the concept that the student is the owner of their learning process and that they should take time for reflection and be promoted to share that reflection, in the classroom, in breakout rooms, and in assignments themselves. Additionally, do not just rely on teacher-student interaction. Remember and encourage student-student and student-content interactions. - Opening Communication with students - If this means the instructor meets with smaller groups and/or getting TA or Teacher Assistant assistance to engage smaller

The effect appears to weaken as the student approaches mastery, and thedegree to which such abilities are sufficient or necessary for advanced work across all STEMfields remains unclear. In engineering, however, spatial reasoning has been identified as a corecompetency for students at both the K-12 and university levels (ABET, 1998; Barr, 2012).Researchers are still exploring what factors may contribute to students’ abilities to reasonspatially.

This traditionally comes from the training one gets and reflects innegotiation techniques one follows. Formerly, companies used specialists and seniormanagement for such efforts, but in the baby boomer age it is now on the shoulders of juniorengineers.

When the resources required to conduct various organizationalfunctions are finite, one can imagine how difficult it would be to negotiate priorities whenorganizational actors or units have a hard time seeing the value of organizational aspects otherthan the ones they are advocating for. The tendency to reduce the complexity of organizationallife into what is explained only by one or few of the organizational aspects, cannot but result in a‘paradox’ - the organizational elements are logical when considered independently, but seemcontradictory when juxtaposed [2].
