ethics and effects of students’ useof solution manuals on their performance during exams [1-6]. One study surveyed the facultyand students in a large mechanical engineering department to seek their perspectives on theethics and the educational values of employing solution manuals in solving textbook homeworkassignments. Many instructors had ethical concerns regarding the students’ use of solutionmanuals, while many students did not consider the use of solution manuals as scholasticdishonesty [1]. Few studies have shown that the use of solution manual has an adverse effect onstudents’ learning [2-4]. Other studies have suggested few new strategies for assigninghomework problems [5, 6].The authors of this paper have been teaching engineering

students would use the learning from the intercultural assignments to work better inthe binational teams and therefore be more effective in the project.One working hypothesis for the class was that the combination of these components wouldincrease students’ intercultural maturity and make them engineers who are better prepared for theglobal market. An important aspect of this course is that it is integrated into the engineeringcurriculum. A common issue with global competency courses is that they add extra courses tothe students’ curriculum. Therefore, demanding additional time and effort from the students whowish to develop those global competency skills.

Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group. We found this difference to be statisticallysignificant after controlling for GPA and whether students worked alone or with a partner.2 IntroductionTesting is an integral part of software development that

professors often fall into the deductive approachto teaching. This contradiction serves as a barrier for effective learning amongst thestudents, especially those studying engineering. This is especially true for geotechnicalengineering and in understanding soil mechanics where students are constantly studyingengineering principles that are not easily accessible to observe or visible because it alloccurs underground. The connection between theories of why things occur is not easilyconnected with how they occur. In order to do so, a senior design team at the universitydeveloped, designed, and constructed an interactive laboratory demonstration that shallbe utilized in a soils engineering curriculum to aid in the understanding of importantconcepts

deeper understanding of the phenomenon [16]. Overall, according toCapobianco et al. [17], there is no universal approach to teaching the engineering design processin an elementary classroom. As such: Integrating the engineering design process is a complex activity that requires teachers to consider the resources they have available, knowledge necessary to understand and apply the design process, and understanding of how students can learn and engage in the engineering design process effectively and productively. [17, pp. 13]Young Children’s Understanding of EngineeringChildren’s early learning experiences, both positive and negative, have a cumulative effect onlearning [18].

Facultyeffective team buildings IV. CONCLUSIONDesign courses in engineering curriculum should be given special attention to prepare studentsfor the real engineering life after graduation. Senior Project Design (Capstone) has the rule inpreparing the students for their future career. To have succeeded in SPD, rewards should begiven to the in-charge faculty. An active relation with industry should be also be established.Summer training program and other design courses should be involved while Capstone isconsidered. ABET criteria is a key element for the Capstone that need to be implemented in allengineering courses. However, the actual implementation of the course should be customizedaccording to the group of students

effectively we can impress upon students the benefits ofgrowing grittiness. The discussion will center on EduGuide’s features, accessibility, and reportedeffectiveness.IntroductionThe research of Angela Lee Duckworth that culminated in her New York bestseller Grit: ThePower of Passion and Perseverance [1] brings forth two big ideas: first, that grit (comprised of aperson’s perseverance and passion) can be among the most important predictors of success, and;second, that one’s grit can indeed be self-developed. The popularity of these ideas hasencouraged a conflagration of efforts to incorporate and integrate grit into every facet of theeducation system, from curriculum development to personal and professional development.As posited by Duckworth, the

At the1995 Civil Engineering Education Conference, 235 participants considered a wide range ofissues and collectively identified four major areas for focused action by ASCE: (1) facultydevelopment, (2) an integrated curriculum, (3) practitioner involvement in education, and (4) thefirst professional degree.1Following the 1995 conference, the ASCE Educational Activities Committee (EdAC) assumedresponsibility for the faculty development issue area. EdAC proposed to the ASCE Board ofDirection that a standing Committee on Faculty Development be established and provided withfunding to plan and implement a teaching effectiveness workshop
data framein the pre-program data was not collected from an identical frame in the post-program datacollection. In effect, this would bolster the representation of women in their programs notbecause more women were recruited, but because the set of units used for the data wereexpanded to include new, more gender-balanced sub-disciplines. However, because ES-UPrecommends creating these types of program expansions or features (“multiple pathways”) as away to increase women, variation in the data frame speaks to the benefits of using this strategy.Nonetheless, the authors were not able to identify if this had occurred among the seven schoolsused in the study.References[1] U.S. Department of Education, “Integrated Postsecondary Education Data

We define sixlearning stages that assimilate the standardization process and identify key learning objectivesfor each. We discuss our experiences when employing the proposed methodology at BarcelonaTech in Spain, compare the approach with an equivalent class at Virginia Tech in the US andmake the following observations: (1) The complexity of standards need to be abstracted andpresented in a form suitable for a given class.
