For instance,Anastasi reported that academic performance was similar in summer and full-semester lengthofferings of three psychology courses.13 In addition, Shaw et al. found no statistical difference instudent achievement or engagement between six online psychology courses with half beingtaught in a 16-week semester while the other half were delivered in an 8-week term.14Figure 2 provides plots of the probability density functions (pdfs) for EEE 460 based

This makes for an opportunity to further bolster relevance and context for theinstructor and the student learner.What is a Maker?A Maker undertakes projects of personal meaning, sometimes without prior expertise, generallyresulting in the creation of technical artifacts. The label Maker is a self-determined one assignedby affinity or involvement in a larger Making community. Make: magazine is a centralparticipant in championing making,15 celebrating people engaged in Making as well as startingMaker Faires.

This made it alwaysdesired by empires looking to widen their reach. In its entire history, Egypt has been underoccupation by many foreign powers but this had little or no effect on its identity or culture, andhad, on the contrary, impacted the foreign forces by Egyptian culture.Many of the monuments and temples constructed thousands of years ago are still standing ingood shape. A survey of archeological sites reveals an impressive inventory of Pharaonic, Greek,Roman, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic monuments with magnificent features reflecting the tracesof these cultures. Furthermore, the

With the Erasmus+ Programme and theinitiative of ‘real problem-based teaching and learning’ a tailor-made approach would beunavoidable. Also the end-users are positive towards the pilots of tailor-made course andwhat is interesting to notice, is that tailor-made approaches are seen as an answer tocompetence development regardless of the state of the market (boom or slump) – money orno money; time or no time, tailor-made course was reflected as a possible approach forcontinuing education.The view of the suppliers (universities) were somehow a continuation or inspiration of policymakers but it is

Thisfinding is meaningful in an environment in which high-paying police and military careers formales compete directly with recruitment of males for university STEM studies.This data also presents new questions about how males could be enticed to take up STEM studiesand careers, especially considering the requirements for offshore or industrial work that

course of thenext 4 academic years, the achievement of student outcomes and student feedback on the courseswere monitored while minor changes were made to the curriculum. While student outcomes weregenerally achieved, student dissatisfaction with the course structure was high. In the 2016- 2017academic year, several substantial changes were made to the sophomore and junior lab courses inresponse to this data. Curricular changes included an increased emphasis on pseudo-codedevelopment, routine reflection on assumptions and limitations of models used in lab meetings,and a move of the lectures and discussions to after the in-depth lab assignments. In addition,short modules on data analysis, elementary statistics, and linear algebra were
2008, Henderson et al [4] developed the four categories of change strategiesmodel to classify strategies that have been used to conceptualize or to create change inundergraduate STEM education. The similarity of these categories to those developed through anindependent review of an overlapping literature base [5] suggests that the four categories arerobust and meaningful. Following are the four categories: ● Disseminating Curriculum and Pedagogy: This category is based on the phenomena of tell/teach individuals about new teaching conceptions and/or practices and encourage their use. ● Developing Reflective Teachers: Encourage/Support individuals to develop new teaching conceptions and/or practices ● Enacting Policy: Enact new
problemformat that was less constrained also offered the student a more genuine and creative engineeringexperience.The workshop leverages the LLP methodology to provide the students with an experientialengineering design learning experience. The LLP process forces the participants to formalize aseries of hypotheses [7] that are tested and refined based on feedback provided by possiblestakeholders and customers. Students test their ideas and modify their designs to reflect theirnewly gained knowledge. In this regard failure is an option. Failure of the student’s hypothesishappens on a routine basis and requires the student to go back to the drawing board, figurativelyand literally. These ‘failures’ are used as learning opportunities where the student’s

In graduate laboratories, because there seemed to often beless structure in terms of presentation requirements, graduate students reported having freedomthat enabled the AE style. According to the surveys, advisors were receptive of the AE stylebecause they felt that it “told a good story” and was “easy to follow.” Being unique, the AE stylesatisfied one advisor’s quest for a way to make presentations more exciting. As Figure 5 reflects,though, resistance was faced when two advisors wished to see more information and data on slidesand
undergraduate materials engineering students, as well as any other studentsallowed by their programs to take unrestricted engineering electives. I selected the history ofmaterials because it was a topic that has always been of interest to me, and because it tied wellwith the long history of the places where we would be traveling. The course has now beenoffered three times (May 2012, 2015, 2016) with the course content being continuously revised.There is a particular focus throughout on metals and metals processing, which reflects both mypersonal background and an area of emphasis at my university. Although there is some emphasison German (and European) history, the content is generally global in scope.Course DescriptionThe primary text for the course

We includegender non-binary respondents in the LGBTQ indicator but because of concerns aboutidentifiability of this small proportion, we do not include gender non-binary as a dichotomousindicator in the models nor provide the precise percent of the gender non-binary population inTable 1. As such, the category “woman” (which includes those who identify as cis-gender andtransgender women) is compared to both the categories of men (which includes cis-gender andtransgender men) and

For example, students commented: ‘My motivation for studying [BE] is that I have always had a passion for the biomedical side of science. I hope to do research in viruses and diseases to help better society.’ ‘I really like the idea of working with living systems using engineering, biology (my favorite science subject), and mathematics. I also like the thought of me in the future helping out the community by doing something I enjoy.’However, many students focused solely on their potential to positively impact the world.

However, it doesnot completely prepare students to handle the breadth of the material instructed in engineeringcourses. A Master’s degree offered in the engineering technology department will have to betailored to match qualifications the undergraduates while also meeting the changing demands ofand the progress of the industry .ConclusionThe researchers examined students’ responses and found that they reflect an overall positiveattitude toward their own education in the construction engineering technology program atFAMU. The student responses derived a reasonable assessment of overall student sentiment.The results indicated that the students
challenges cameradesigners. For example, normal glass appropriate for visible wavelengths tends to reflect ratherthan pass IR wavelengths, and normal camera imaging sensors (CMOS or CCD) have IR-blockingfilters to prevent saturation.21–23 This latter point is required because the silicon-based sensor ar-rays respond strongly to what are called the near-IR wavelengths, as can be seen in Figure 2. Theseand other challenges have been overcome by camera designers, and IR cameras are now availablethat combine reasonable price with acceptable image measurement quality. 10 km 10 m 10 mm 10 µm 10 nm 10 pm wavelength

Our survey results shed light on whether visualizations makegood tools for teaching, and if they have an effect on the rate (how quickly) of learning.Conclusions and
gender as a predictor of the level-1 intercepts andslopes.MeasuresStudents participated in five online surveys throughout the fall semester. The first survey usedcomplete scales for all measures. The second, third, and fourth surveys contained short versionsof each scale. The fifth survey was comprised of short scales for the mindset measures and acomplete scale for engineering identity. Only the means of the short scales were used in theseanalyses.To measure engineering identity, items from Chemers’ science identity survey were adapted toengineers (Chemers et. al., 2010; Estrada et. al., 2011). The engineering identity measurecontained items such as, “Being an engineer is an important reflection of who I am.” Responsesranged from a scale of 1
groups. We found no significant differences acrossQuestions 1 and 4.Conclusions and ImplicationsOur data shows that participation in the Teaching Circle positively improves student evaluationscores for some questions, and it significantly improves them in some cases. In 5 of the 12questions analyzed, the intervention group showed positive improvement after participated in theTeaching Circle (Table 3). From our first analysis using linear regression, while the controlgroup had significantly decreasing scores before and after term 0 for two questions (Questions 15and 23), the intervention group did not reflect this decreasing trend in scores. In one other case,the Intervention After scores were significantly greater than those of the Control After
progress through theSTEM pipeline also depends on the types of opportunities, experiences, and support studentsreceive while in college (Chang, Eagan, Lin, & Hurtado, 2011; Espinosa, 2011). “Theeducational experience and the culture of the discipline (as reflected in the attitudes and practicesof faculty) make a much greater contribution to [STEM] attrition than the individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors” (Chang, Sharkness, Hurtado, & Newman,2014). In addition to the academic and social supports deemed essential for studentpersistence and transfer, there appear to be some specific recommendations that encourageSTEM students in particular to persist, transfer, and ultimately complete a STEM degree
addition, mechanical engineering experiencehelped to take this project’s concept into completion. Utilizing the mechanical engineeringstudent’s experience with modeling and operations research, the group was able to modify theGridLab-D to model the experiment. As the nation’s only urban land-grant university, the University of the District of Columbia hasa special focus on urban sustainability, which is reflected in its curriculum and research focuses.The experience that these students brought to the framing of this project was integral to itssuccess. Collaboration through the capstone project allowed students to share the lessons they’velearned through their internships or research projects in a concrete manner. One student, who haddone

We close by setting research agendas andavenues needed to understand and impact concerns over diversity and inclusion in engineering.Introduction and backgroundDespite myriad calls for and programs aiming to bring engineering into K-12 settings, progresshas been hampered by an already crowded curricular scope, comparatively limited resources forteacher professional development on teaching engineering practices, and a relatively sparseadoption of state standards that include engineering.
