communication and other workplace skills as described in [18]. Writing togetherwith other students as well as to read and discuss others students’ texts are also considered tocontribute to strengthen writing ability. Only 3% see a strict peer-to-peer-review as way toimprove writing skills. Based on the teacher-student discussions and the discussions amongteachers, the author expected the students to be more positive to the cooperation within andbetween student groups. The reason for this will be investigated further.When the students’ responses are linked to the theories initially presented, concordance appears.Although the survey is limited, certain things are highlighted. It is valid for, among other things,the students’ awareness of need for this

, rather than listening passively to a lecture. If students informally assist one another inthis process, the technique is deemed to be collaborative learning [2]. PBL builds on ACL byintroducing engaging real-world problems for students to solve as part of a group [2]. A newtwist on PBL is the inclusion of student skills associated with an entrepreneurial mindset, such asintegrating information from many sources to gain insight and/or identifying unexpectedopportunities to create value. The resulting EML activities emphasize “discovery, opportunityidentification, and value creation with attention given to effectual thinking over causal(predictive) thinking” [3].Atman et al. [4] reported on the Academic Pathways Study to address research questions

short courses and research gatherings to facilitate discussion within an emergingcommunity of educators and practitioners (e.g., the Fourth Annual Conference on ScienceDiplomacy scheduled for 14 September 2018).A limited number of institutions have also begun to offer courses on science diplomacyincluding: Tufts [8]; Columbia [9]; and NYU [10], among others. Recently, SUNY has created amassively online open course (MOOC) in science diplomacy with a specialization in health [11],and in February 2017, the AAAS launched the, “SciDipEd page… as a platform to bring togethereducators and students in the United States and around the world interested in science diplomacyeducation,” [12].

connections lead to enhanced opportunities for students before and after graduation. • Robotics Engineering has proven to be a boon for the university and a source of pride for the students in it.6.2. RECOMMENDATIONS TO FURTHER ROBOTICS ENGINEERING EDUCATIONTo further Robotics Engineering education, we recommend the following: • Robotics Engineering should soon become a recognized branch of engineering. • Development of a set of robotics-specific criteria by ABET, following identification of a lead and cooperating societies from among ASME, CSAB, IEEE, and possibly others. • Enhanced robotics and mechatronics education community-building activities, including IEEE Robotics & Automation

practiceIntroductionEngineering work relies on effective collaboration and communication among diverse groups ofengineers and scientists, and engagement in partnership with broader constituencies (managers,technicians, end users, among others). There is a long-standing expectation that graduates fromengineering programs be proficient communicators and team members, and outcomes relevantto communication and teaming survived the recent re-visioning of ABET criterion 3 (Graduateswill have … “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” and “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences”).

Pre-College Engineering Education

beapplied to engineering education, the nature of engineering design is distinct from other STEMdomains. As such, teacher must be able to support and evaluate students’ learning fromengineering design problems, in part, by determining the quality of students’ solutions (Brophy,Klein, Portsmore, and Rogers, 2008). Prior research illustrates the wide range of contentknowledge and pedagogical skills for engineering design among K12 teachers. Hsu, Purzer, andCardella (2011) showed that many teachers do not feel prepared to teach engineering designdespite acknowledging its importance in K12 education. As a result, K12 teachers needprofessional learning experiences with grade-band appropriate content knowledge alongsideengineering design processes
