In addition,traditional techniques are still used such as an abbreviated, concise board lectures and hand-written exams.Aside from the peer learning methods implemented and discussed in this paper, the othersignificant change that was made from Spring 2013 to Spring 2014 is the total amount of in-classcontact hours.

Using these statistics, the authors identifiedthe need to offer motivating experiences to freshman in STEM while creating a sense ofcommunity among other STEM students. This paper reports on the impact of two interventionsdesigned by the authors and aligned with this need. The interventions are: (1) a one-day multi-disciplinary summer orientation (summer15) to give participants the opportunity to undertakeprojects that demonstrate the relevance of spatial and computational thinking skills and (2) asubsequent six-week spatial visualization skills training

theimpact of PFX on students’ prototyping awareness.    In this study, students at a large Mid-Atlantic university were taught three prototyping lensesbased on the PFX methodology: (1) Prototyping for Viability, (2) Prototyping for Feasibility, and(3) Prototyping for Desirability. This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods. ThePrototyping AWareness Scale, or PAWS was created for this study, and we discuss its internalconsistency and future iterations. Data were

At ECU DoE, two sequential project management and design coursesare required before students begin the capstone course as part of a spiral curriculum [1].

These skills, referred to as softskills or professional skills, are often assumed to be acquired as a result of performing academictasks and “constant” communication with other graduate students and faculty members [1]. TheCanadian Association of Graduate Studies (CAGS) recognizes the duty and responsibility ofuniversities to train these soft skills. CAGS defines professional development as knowledge thatmust be provided along with practice and continuous coaching within the graduate programs [2].During their first year of graduate studies, many engineering students

and BackgroundNot all learning is the same. In other words there are different types of knowledge as there aredifferent ways of learning. This is the idea underlying the 2001 revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy[1] that identified factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive forms of knowledge.Furthermore effective means to promote student learning are dependent upon the type ofknowledge. For example techniques used to teach factual knowledge—the basic elements thatstudents must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems in it [1]—may not workto master conceptual or procedural knowledge. A third way that learning is not uniform is thatdifferent forms of knowledge may be harder to acquire than others. This paper results on
