refreezingThe stages of evolutionary and revolutionary change identified by Kuhn (1962) in his treatise onthe development of scientific theories are so widely known that his terminology has becomewidespread in the academy. Periods of evolutionary change, or the state of “normal science,” asKuhn (1962) referred to it, can be planned and managed. Kuhn suggested that revolutionarychange, or “revolutionary paradigm” shifts, cannot be planned and managed because they areunpredictable and relatively swift compared to the state of normal science.Numerous authors, such as Chin and Benne (1985) and Schein (2002) have expanded on Kuhn’stwo broad categories. Schein (2002), for example, described three types of change: 1. Natural evolutionary changes 2

We also expand to discuss how second graders were engaged,including a detailed learning plan. An appendix goes into technical detail about an interestingcollaboration between a high school student and university students.Pervasive stereotypes portray engineering work as completely objective and technical, despitemany engineers operating in social, creative, and innovative spaces [2, 3]. Publications havehighlighted the value of integrating art and humanities into engineering education [4], althoughbringing these perspectives together is not

The competenciesprovide a framework for intentionally exploring learning opportunities available at the Universityof Michigan as students create a plan for

PD sessions includedtime for teachers to develop lesson plans, explore resources, and reflect on their learning.We used a mixed methods research design to investigate the impact of the PD program onteacher self-efficacy and classroom pedagogy with a focus on cultural relevance and engineeringdesign. Quantitative pre/post data was collected using three survey instruments: TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS), Culturally Responsive Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale(CRTSE), and Culturally Congruent Instruction Survey (CCIS). Qualitative data includedvideotaped classroom observations, individual teacher interviews after each design task, andteacher focus groups and written reflections during the summer and

The usage of AR/VR tovisualize these difficult concepts and structures is thought to be an effective tool to implementand enhance the learning experience.This exposure and usage are depicted through a hands-on laboratory session within the coursewhich is provided for instructors in the next page. This activity entails a short lesson whichintroduces the concepts of AR/VR to the students with some built-in small discussion points toreflect upon how these technologies can be applied to the real world. Next, the students then getto experience VR through the Merge Headset and lesson plans (e.g., “Make Carbonic acid”). Forthe AR sections, students use the Merge Object Viewer app to project molecules

Parents suddenly had to become teachers; teachers who never received training to teach.That was especially true for parents with early elementary-aged and younger children. Parentsused available resources to help their children learn different subjects. Resources on somesubjects were more accessible and available than others. And teaching subjects like engineeringthat had very limited resources became the least of parents’ priority, if not eliminatedcompletely. Thus, in an effort to help parents with young children, by using resources previouslypublished [6-9] and to expand engineering education resources for parents, we planned a seriesof workshops for parents to help teach their kids engineering using

This work analyzes exit ticket responses from eight sections of introductoryengineering physics courses over three semesters (approximately 240 total students). Thesetickets provided two prompts after each lecture period: 1) What question do you still have aftertoday's class? and 2) Apply today's topic to something in the world around you. No more thanfive minutes of class time each day was allotted for these assessments. I discuss the formativevalue these prompts had for lesson planning in my introductory engineering
part.Conclusion:The purpose of this exercise is to better prepare the engineering students for industry, where theymay need to produce a practical prototype of the designed circuit. To make this process moreefficient, the instructors plan to use the simulator software to generate the PCB layout and use PCBplotters to fabricate the PCB circuit. Although it may take considerably longer time to print circuitsfor all the groups, these steps will introduce professional techniques to fabricate an accurateprototype. All the student groups successfully implemented the PCB-based amplifier circuit anddemonstrated the amplified output signal. Several groups needed multiple attempts to get thecorrect output and needed to trace their PCB layout to find the fault with
