focus ofthis paper is on graduate-level education, where students encounter the discipline in depth, thesefoundational issues play a critical role in shaping statistical literacy.Learning ElementsGraduate statistics courses at Wright State University address the dual need for technical expertiseand transferable skills by integrating design project-based learning, problem-solving, and peerreview. These methods enhance critical thinking, communication, and the ability to evaluatestatistical methods, preparing students for real-world interdisciplinary challenges. Project-basedlearning (PBL) provides a practical framework to engage students with real-world problems,fostering active participation and deeper learning [8] [9]. Studies have shown that

The facultylectures covered three main areas: structural analysis techniques, project management and designfor manufacturability.Another aspect of the course involved bringing in outside speakers to give seminars. Several ofthe speakers were practicing engineers from industry. Topics covered by the guests includedProject Management, design for manufacturability, and a Intellectual property.” The challengein presenting some of the research talks was keeping them at a level that undergraduate studentscan comprehend. One seminar was a joint effort with the local ASME section and hosted by adistinguished ASME speaker. If possible

Particularly, the addition of reports and briefings where the students presented ideas and recommendations that they had generated, researched and refined through direct observation gave the students a sense of professional practice and real buy-in. • Projects which activate the students directly as agents of their own knowledge creation, in a sense pulling data to them according to self-defined needs rather than acting as passive receivers, provides considerable franchise and satisfaction to students.

Role and Level - The use of roles provides very interesting profiles, but additional definition isrequired to understand the experience level and course levels of instructors, senior instructors,associate, and full professors.Generally assistant professors have been faculty for fewer than 6 years, are heavily focused ongaining tenure generally through research, and, therefore, may teach more graduate level courses,depending on institutional priorities and faculty development

-Lincoln has embarked on a department-wide transformation of advising and retentionpractices to support undergraduate student success. The department has three undergraduatemajors across two different colleges. The motivation for the transformation included rapidlychanging advising systems and processes at the institutional level, institutional goals forretention and graduation rates, faculty, and staff desire to enhance student belonginess in thedepartment, and increased faculty-staff partnership. The theoretical framework used for thetransformation was the ecological validation model designed to foster student success byfocusing on the strengths, needs, and experiences of students.

experiences often focused on practical issuesrelevant to daily life, but when educational settings became more structured in the form ofschools, students were often not able to see the relevance of the topic they were learning. Sincethat time, teachers have been aware that these formalized educational settings often lackefficiency and effectiveness, some of which can be attributed to the lack of a sound theoreticalbasis for learning and instruction 1.Any particular learning theory has with it an implied set of classroom practices for the design ofinstruction and the assessment of learning. The manner in which educators select learningmaterials and design classroom experiences for their students is dependent in large part on howthey define “learning

ofa common good.Yet among the younger generation there is some understanding of the common good in theirefforts to cause us to change our behaviours so as to reduce the impact of climate change. Butthat conception is limited because it only focuses on one aspect of human behaviour.Underlying all human action is a set of values that help us to say yes or no to the actions thatjoin us one to another interpersonal or through object design. Thus in the model oftechnology presented in exhibit 1 the basis of technological design, for that matter all design,is the value system of the designer(s). Developing a value system (call it philosophy,theology, ethics- what you will) is part of human development, and therefore, part of humanlearning [29], and
