In his research, Hynes explores the use of engineering to integrate academic subjects in K-12 classrooms. Specific research interests include design metacognition among learners of all ages; the knowledge base for teaching K-12 STEM through engi- neering; the relationships among the attitudes, beliefs, motivation, cognitive skills, and engineering skills
fit with the pedagogical principles of active learning.In the critical time just before graduation, capstone courses provide engineering students withan opportunity to apply the analytical and technical knowledge learned throughout theundergraduate curriculum in the context of the actual practice of engineering [7]. In a survey of444 ABET-accredited engineering institutions, capstone courses were typically one or two-semesters long, ran parallel class and project requirements, used extensive team-based activities,and culminated in a final project that often originated from industry or faculty research [8]. Thisdesign process offers a distinct learning opportunity for students by providing structuredoccasions to collaborate with each other
groups to solve problems [1]. Collaborative learning has been describedin college level courses in various forms [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Educators employing collaborativeor cooperative learning methods reported greater student satisfaction with the learningexperience [4], [5], reduction of anxiety [7], and concluding that student performance wasgreater than individual students could have achieved working independently [2], [6].In a comprehensive metaanalysis of 225 studies comparing student performance inundergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses when usingtraditional (lecturing) methods vs. active learning, the results were overwhelmingly in favor ofactive learning [8]. For example, the results of this

solutions could progress toward developing final designproposals with more creativity. Gender-balanced teams with high conflict among teammembers could not generate an idea and create innovative final projects. For having moreinnovative solutions in design projects, Fila and Purzer [24] suggested that instructors avoidforming teams only on the basis of gender and that they facilitate teams during teamwork.Ertas et al.

In 2002, this course was created partly in response to the particular emphasisin the use of methodologies that favor
developing stochastic and probability reasoning; 3) students’ attitudes towardsstatistics courses, among other aspects.In order to be able to design the different modules, first an analysis of the objectives of eachcourse and their relationship to the student learning outcomes was performed.

acrossa curriculum, there exists an opportunity to engage instructional engineering faculty ineducational reform and broadening participation efforts. However, research is limited on theeffectiveness of different faculty development models for these faculty. Through the analysis ofsurvey data, the findings suggest that the workshop series described in this paper provided avenue for community building among participants and exposure to new techniques and ideas.Overall, this paper makes visible the experiences of these instructional faculty. Specifically, thefindings describe how the workshop supported instructional faculty to take strides towardsimproving the learning experiences of their students. The results have the potential to inform
as institutions and student families. One important reason for thissituation is that the national education system does not focus on the development of STEMcompetencies. As a result, the motivation of engineering students in mathematics courses iscontinuously hampered because of deficiencies in prerequisites. This paper reports partial resultsfrom a project conducted in collaboration between mathematics and engineering at UniversidadIcesi, in Colombia. The project involves the Algebra and Functions, Linear Algebra, Calculus I,and Probability Theory (Statistics I) courses. The main objective of this project is to supportmathematics instructors in the process of improving student learning, by continuously reflectingon the effectiveness of the

As specified previously, the fourdedicated facilitators for the PD were graduate students and postdoctoral researchers inengineering fields. However, as the PD progressed, the facilitators began to develop a greaterappreciation for the work done by the teachers. This illustrates an effective, bidirectionaloperationalization of social capital with facilitators and teachers learning from one-another.For each of the aforementioned themes, Table 2 below provides examples of key issues affectingteachers during the PD while Table 3 provides examples of changes induced and observed in boththe
’ learning.IntroductionCollege provides boundless opportunity to a student in his/her personal, intellectual and socialdevelopment. Among different connections that a college student can make, research shows thatstudent-faculty relationships are the most crucial connection within a collegiate community(Duberstein, 2009). A sense of connection with a faculty member helps students feel like theytruly belong at the institution. When students feel connected to the campus community, they aremore often retained and excel academically, creating a winning situation for everyone. Facultymembers who understand the learning needs and interests of their students can appropriatelytailor assignments, expectations, and conversations.The center of this faculty-student relationship is

How are these practices implemented in engineering learning environments?”Moreover, this study will be looking at the successes of the evidence used to facilitate moreeffective learning among engineering students, and how these pieces of evidence became thebasis for designing instructional approaches in teaching circuit concepts.Searching the literatureA comprehensive search was conducted using the

The incentives to focus on student development, andfaculty promotion structures of institutions focused on undergraduate education allows high levelsof time investment by, and coordination among the faculty to materialize education reform andinstitute continuous improvement.

For example, in onerecent effort [22], it was used as a technological tool to aid in the pedagogy of physics, biology,and math lessons, resulting in teachers’ readiness to implement technology as a pedagogical toolin their classroom. The researchers in [22] claimed that a robotics-based learning methodologyhelps students readily visualize and access abstract STEM content knowledge. Recent studies haveadditionally explored varied pedagogical methods for STEM learning with robotics, e.g.,scaffolding [23], visual modeling [24], and project-based learning [25,26], among others.Assessment of

Fortunately, even though ethics has a 2,500-year history,resources abound, as detailed throughout this paper.Why Study Ethics?ABET outcomes offer a pragmatic reason for learning (and teaching) ethics; as noted in Criterion3(f) in the engineering program criteria, students should demonstrate “an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.”3 ETAC criteria for four-year programs are similar;among numerous outcomes, Criterion 3(i) includes “an understanding of and a commitment toaddress professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity.”4Beyond practical concerns of addressing ABET or even FE exam
