Several factors were shown to affect student resistance including instructoractivity in the forum, forum response times, technological barriers to participation, and theparticipation grading scheme. Implications for instructors seeking to employ asynchronousactive learning with nontraditional students using currently available online forums are provided.Introduction“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”Albert Einstein Einstein explains that his main goal as an instructor was to provide the means andopportunities for students to take control of their own

While at Towson University, he also cultivated good friendships with his advisors and now mentors: Dr. Rajeswari M. Kolagani and Dr. David Schaefer. His research led to his first publication a few years later. Forced by destiny, he ended up at Norfolk State University where he is now pursuing a PhD degree in Material Science focusing on optical characterization of materials for energy harvesting. Through the IGERT fellowship, he is pursuing his ultimate goal of becoming a professor and intends to carry on research in optical materials. - See more at: https://www.asee.org/public/person#sthash.lcrL5s3P.dpufMr. IRVING

During mid-century,however, internal fissures within the engineering profession and among the engineering schools causedthe primary decision-making authority to shift from ASEE to ECPD. With it, the voluntary traditions ofinvestigation and society-wide deliberation that characterized ASEE’s grand investigations gave way tothe more mediated conversations carried out within the particular governance structure set up for theECPD, which

Knowing how to solder electrical components could be a worthwhile skill for constructingsome of the projects. With this in mind, a laboratory session is planned for the students about thebasics of soldering, as well as the basics of electronic devices. This aids their attaining a morepractical perspective of the theoretical concepts that they have heard. For the practice session,each of the students and teachers is given a soldering kit containing instructions and materials tobuild a basic 555 timer circuit. This practical work is fun and interesting, given the fact that theyall have

It’s time to explicitlyrecognize that what is fundamental to engineering practice goes beyond the scientific,instrumental rationality; to fail to acknowledge this is “just about unethical”.”.21Wendy Faulkner22 observes that “Their educational grounding in mathematics and science allowsengineers to claim an identity in the material and (mostly) predictable phenomena governed bythe 'laws of nature', backed up by a faith in cause-and-effect reasoning. And this same materialityand scientificity enables them to claim, as the central contribution of engineering design, that itcreates technologies that 'do the
