literature search, data extractionprocess was established. The search ensured that the chosen studies were peer-revieweddissertation, theses, conferences, reports, and journals. The instructional practices identified fromthe gathered literature were categorized as strategies used in teaching electrical circuit conceptsbased on student learning as manifested in their active roles and class engagement. Thesefindings serve as indicators of success that will be classified as the evidence itself in EBIPs.Based on Cronin’s work in undertaking literature review [16], studies obtained from the refinedsearch according to the title of the paper, author/s, source and year for the first pass of literaturesearch will be gathered.Analyzing and integrating the
STEM topics, Very few are more familiar with LEGOs and robotics and so it was very new to them… you know low socioeconomic[s]... It's not surprising because they do not have that type of exposure and so it's really important and I think was fascinating for them to have that exposure to see what STEM is all about and they seem to really enjoy it.It appears taken for granted that Jill’s and Bob’s students are familiar with LEGOs, and someeven Mindstorms. In contrast, Deborah’s consideration of the social and economic inequities thather students face does not allow her to make such assumptions.Teachers found the STEM connections educationally important in and of themselves, but alsoarticulated hopes that they inspire
benefits and deeply heldcultural beliefs within some organizations about the negative connotations of a doctorate degreein engineering. Participants also described how university policies, such as partnership degreeprograms or inconvenient course times and modalities might compliment or conflict withemployer policies and further shape an employee’s decision to earn a PhD. These findings offersome initial insight into the employer-level factors that could inform returners’ thinking thatreturners, employers, and universities may want to consider in future decision making.

born afterthe mid 1990’s, are acutely aware of their privileged place in the world and are looking tomake a difference. The rise in student outreach clubs, study abroad, service learning andcommunity based learning all demonstrate that students are more attune to social justiceissues. In fact, biomedical engineering programs have been early adopters of includingvalue thinking, most especially through Devices for the Disabled (Enderle, 1999),Engineering World Health (www.ewh.org), e-NABLE (enablingthefuture.org), and theproliferation of programs that specifically consider design for the developing world.Strategic Thinking and Design ChallengesStrategic Thinking was born out of the business literature. It also has been a hallmark ofengineering
into their careers andlives after graduation. Such approaches are often referred to as high impact pedagogies [1].The American Association of Colleges and Universities classifies service-learning as a “highimpact pedagogy” [2]. While the roots of service-learning, also called community engagedlearning, date back to the 1860’s with the Morrill Act and the 1920’s with the work of JohnDewey, curricular integration took root in the U.S. in the 1970’s. In the 1990’s there was asignificant increase in the adoption of the pedagogy within many disciplines in higher education[3, 4]. Research has shown that service-learning, can have benefits on student persistence [4-12],learning of core disciplinary knowledge and the broader skills needed in today’s

The Powermodule is configured to automatically send the system into LPM3 as soon as the systementers an idle state. This will happen while the system is waiting for the Battery OKhardware interrupt and in between Clock ticks. This idle, low-power state accounts forabout 98.6% of overall runtime. The Semaphore module provides an inter-thread signalingmechanism within the RTOS. In this project, a semaphore is posted every 2,000 Clockticks, or every 2 s.

This assumption appears in theuse of ‘mother’ and ‘father’ as identifiers throughout questions about parents and guardians.Problems with typical approachThe shift of traditional family structures has been well documented31, as has the changing shapeof the modern family30. However, documentation of the shift in familial demographics has notalways been adapted to quantitative instruments seeking to understand more about collegestudents’ parents/guardians. Items seeking information about parent(s)/guardian(s) are used tounderstand students’ family life, to understand their access to education in the form of socialcapital32, and as a proxy for SES. Such items often assume a traditional familial structure: Onefather or male
to explore variation in how engineeringstudents experience innovation. Phenomenography is an established qualitative research methodfor identifying a limited number of distinct ways individuals interact with a particularphenomenon6,7. These distinct ways of experiencing the phenomenon are regarded as resultingfrom the interplay between the characteristics of the individual and the forum(s) through whichthe individual experienced the phenomenon. Several important phenomenographic studies haveoccurred in engineering education over the last few years, including investigations of thevariation in ways engineering students and engineers experience human-centered design8,sustainable design9, and design10.

In the late 2000’s ASCE established a vision forthe future that frames five critical learning outcomes [4,29]: (1) master builders, (2) stewards ofnatural environment, (3) innovators and integrators of ideas and technology, (4) managers of riskand uncertainty, and (5) leaders in shaping public policy. Based on this vision, there have beenrenewed studies in the last 10 years on capstones to meet current demands.

Junior level students inVehicle Design I used CATIA V5’s Generative Structural Analysis workbench to analyze theirindividual FSAE chassis designs.
