value of writing as a tool for uncovering a student’s misconceptionshas been noted in other disciplines such as the medical field [21]. Unfortunately, grading andproviding feedback to students on their written work is time consuming. This burden on instructortime may be a factor why, beyond common written works such as laboratory reports, courses suchas electric circuit analysis or statics and dynamics are almost exclusively computation based. Theauthors of this paper do not suggest eliminating computation problems in gateway STEM courses,but rather to complement such problems with conceptual writing exercises as such exercises maybe the key to effecting conceptual change particularly in the case of robust misconceptions.The remainder of this

We selected mechanicalengineering for three key reasons: 1) the relative size of the department (approximately 1200students); 2) the focus on creative product design and; 3) access to the student population throughdepartmental listservs. First, the mechanical engineering department is the largest engineeringdepartment on campus, and so it offered the greatest potential to stratify student samples accordingto relevant demographic

Such alliances offered an excellent opportunity for minoritized students to getearly exposure to the knowledge content, language, vocabulary, and philosophy of the discipline,as well as become engaged in research laboratory meetings to acquire skills, protocols, andpractices designed to move a beginning graduate student to an engaged researcher and scholar(Barker, 2011; Felder et al., 2014; Twale et al., 2016).Table 1Theoretical Support of the RDI WorkshopsWorkshop Content

Next, we looked at the profession of the engineer doing work. This constructincluded codes of a designer, technician, tradesman, mechanic, builder, driver, craftsman, factoryworker, or an object/engine (if the child drew an object rather than a person). Lastly, weexamined the activities that the engineer was involved in, which includes images ofbuilding/fixing, designing, drawings/blueprints, products of mechanical engineering, products ofcivil engineering, trains, laboratory work, engineering design process, SEEK class activities andusing tools.In addition to these

What is the dynamic relationship between educators and learners in highereducation settings?

engineering degree studies. Extensive surveys ofthe current practices related to senior projects, as well as of engineering teaching through seniorprojects are available in the literature [1, 2]. For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform
