librarians now "believe that‘understanding some ethical, legal, economic, and socio-political information issues’ is anelement of IL" [9]. This approach is reflected in the ACRL’s Framework for InformationLiteracy for Higher Education [4].IL instruction for graduate students takes various forms. It can be integrated into a graduatecourse or delivered as a stand-alone workshop. It can also be offered as a one-shot session or as aseries of sessions. The latter offers the opportunity to establish a relationship with students,compared to the one-shot session, and appears to have a much greater impact on studentretention [9, 10]. The course-integrated sessions have the advantage of strengthening the linksbetween librarians and professors and are directly

Results confirmed thatthe instructions and purpose for the exercises were clear: all students either agreed or stronglyagreed with those statements. Students spent less than 45 minutes on each activity, with themajority (17/19 respondents) spending less than 20 minutes. Open feedback was quite positive.Representative comments include: • “I think the "Creativity!" exercises are a great way to challenge students. They not only get us to think about things in a non-linear fashion but they also allow us to reflect on other parts of life where we go with "the norm" and fail to exercise creativity

Leveraging recent literature and faculty expertise, an increasingly deeper integration ofArduino has since taken place, while attempting to maintain the core of team-based mechanicaldesign using morphological methods. The focus of this paper is to identify the challenges andpitfalls in such an endeavor by reflecting on the process of change over three semesters ofimplementation, including the deployment of both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Specifically, identifying andboosting non-thriving students at the end of week four provides each of them with over a week tomake changes before the first exam, which accounts for 15%.The first step in this analysis was to manually calculate an adjusted final grade for each student.This adjusted grade only accounted for scores on each of the homework assignments and twoexams.

The thirdmeans of data collection is interviews with students. Participants are asked interview questions atthe end of the program reflecting on the lessons and how they connected empathy andengineering. The interviews consist of questions such as: was there a time during the day whenyou connected with a peer or teacher and learned about how they felt about their project or thetopic at the time? If so, how did this connection affect you? and think back to a time today whenyou were faced with a challenge. What did you do to try and tackle

This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

So, this wasn’t anything new to me, I guess. But just the way that it [the worksheet] was formatted - I understood the equation - but I know that some of the students had a lot of trouble, since it was a bioengineering class. A lot of kids have a lot of interest in biology, so this wasn’t probably the easiest thing for them to understand.Similarly, it can be seen that while the EV3 brick performed well up to its mandate, it was unableto provide sufficient scaffolding for students for whom the concepts were completely new.

When studying multiple related concepts, it is often helpful to compare their respective strengthsand weaknesses. For graph visualization, the primary choice lies in the selection of a particular layout to draw agiven graph. GraphVisual supports simultaneous visualization of two different graph layouts of the same data set intwo side-by-side display panels, allowing students to make easy comparison through brushing and linking (i.e., theselection made in one view is dynamically reflected in the other view).

The primary objectives of activelearning are to promote student activity and to engage them in the learning process [5], with themost extreme version being project-based or experiential learning. Project-based learningprovides an open-ended project with a variety of problems to solve over the course of anextended period of time. The primary advantage of project-based learning is the opportunity forstudents to experience the activity. However, to classify as experiential learning, students mustalso have an opportunity to reflect and apply what they learn. A survey [6] was sent to approximately 240 civil engineering programs to determine theextent of active learning use in upper-level courses and to
