Showcasing opportunities in IT or other STEM-related fields may peak students’interest and participation in computing.5,6,7,8,9,10A challenge to these efforts is measuring and quantitatively capturing the impact of theseefforts on students’ perceptions of STEM fields. Some researchers have sought tomeasure changes in students’ attitudes toward IT or CS using descriptive methods.6,9Although descriptive statistics are useful for describing changes among a given set ofparticipants, they have limited use in terms of generalizing to a broader population. Otherresearchers have developed their own instruments to measure changes in attitude towardIT or CS.4,11,12,13 These instruments often lack the evidence necessary to support thevalidity of

A caring faculty can assist in bringing students closertogether through formation of learning partnerships, peer teaching, and sharing data andinformation with one another. It has been astonishing to see how working in collaborativedissertation groups has affected students. Long after their graduation, students recall themost significant aspect of their graduate program being the interpersonal learning and thedevelopment of collaborative sensitivity and mutual understanding among groupmembers.

engineeringproblems, on the other hand, invariably involve information and skills associated with a variety ofengineering, mathematics, and physical science courses. When students do not understand theinterrelations between different subjects, they tend to be less motivated to learn new subjectmatter and consequently less able to solve realistic problems. Recognizing this problem, the pastdecade has seen several universities develop first-year engineering curricula that includemultidisciplinary integration.1,2 A previous paper from a multi-coalition collaboration provides acomprehensive review of the pros and cons of curriculum integration.3The NSF-funded Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education(SUCCEED) was formed in 1992 by

Over the past few years, at the University of Oklahoma, a graduate course titled AME5740 Designing for Open Innovation has been designed, course content and assignments developed and a learner centric paradigm instantiated. Different facets of this course have been described in several publications – most recently in [2], [3]. In these papers, the authors explore the key question: How can we foster learning how to learn and develop competencies? In this paper we document our initial findings as to how far we have succeeded in facilitating students learning how to learn and develop competencies within this course

Mainly I felt I received an experience that placed meinto the context of a historical analysis of the progression of technology.” Another studentcommented that exploring an inventor’s papers aided his or her understanding of the process ofinvention. “It was interesting to see a successful inventor’s first hand notes of what failed andwhat didn’t.” As we have seen in other classes
