In today’s competitive employment environment, proficienttechnical skills are a starting point for initial job opportunities. However, for sustained careersuccess, technical skills need to be supplemented by the ability to effectively interact with co-workers, customers, and other professionals.1 Often referred to as “soft skills,” universities needto provide training to engineering and technology students on these social or people

In order to optimize the advising process in the setting previously defined and keeping inmind a systems approach to this challenge, we are proposing the application of a multi-agenttechnique that will allow the students to take more control of their individualized advising. Thisproposed system is similar to the smart grid concept which was chosen due to the positivefeedback from the implementation of such distributed control systems5. In this context, thestudent tool becomes an agent and the program administrators become operators that provide(with certain flexibility

We used the College and University Classroom Environment Inventory(CUCEI) to assess the classroom climate in both the flipped class and various control classes that werenot flipped. This inventory includes seven psychosocial dimensions of classroom climate:personalization, involvement, student cohesiveness, satisfaction, task orientation, innovation, andindividualization. Our specific research questions were: 1. Do students perceive a more positive classroom climate in a flipped classroom vs. a traditional lecture-based

Thus, in recent years, the framework of engineering identity and the factors thatencompass it, based on previous research on physics and math identities, has been used as a lensto study engineering students.Engineering identity is both a subset of and affected by the larger student identity, which alsoincludes personal and social identities.1 Identity can be defined as how students

SFIP isproving to be a potential solution for promoting diffusion and for creating lasting change in thefaculty in this institution.IntroductionThe Summer Faculty Immersion Program (SFIP) was created as a response to the followingissues: 1. The recognition that teaching methods in engineering are not often aligned with the goal of providing relevant learning experiences that lead to deep levels of conceptual knowledge, as noted by Litzinger, et al, in Ref. [1]. 2. The affirmation by the National Research Council of the National Academies that innovative teaching in STEM courses requires time that exceeds normal course development, as well as additional funding [2

Other impeding factors reported have beenthe influence of students’ prior misconceptions, the abstract nature of the content, inadequateinstructional strategies to provoke conceptual conflict and inadequate preparation of studentsfrom pre-requisite courses. However, a gap that still exists is the direct interaction between: (1)students’ prior knowledge, (2) the types of learning activities and (3) the design of the learningenvironment fueled by the decisions made by professors on how to teach circuit concepts.This
