One student stated that thisteaching approach elevated his confidence in his knowledge of the course content. During thefirst semester that this approach was tried, word got out to the students about the structure of theclass, and other students in the program asked when their classes would be structured in thisfashion.Figure 2 shows the distribution of when the video modules were watched. The review course wasoffered on Tuesday nights. Students tended to watch the videos immediately before class.Unfortunately, this did not allow time for reflection between watching the videos, taking theknowledge area assessment and asking a

Each function member, then, can reflect their fractional full-time equivalent(FTE) in the corresponding tiered elements (activities) of the original WBS, now depicted in theresponsibility assignment matrix (RAM).From these two entities, the WBS and RAM, human resource shortages and over staffing can beseen.

In the future, the controller will no oversupply the load, as can be seen from time 0 - 4.5 s, instead this power will be used to charge the battery. The load of the simulation will also be updated to accurately reflect the transition in demand of the variable load, opposed to the current, instantaneous changes in demand. This poses a future challenge of programming a controller to recognize the changing demands from the load and activate the battery to improve system response. ResultsI.

And know I just know a lot about climate change and a Copenhagen debate that didn’t solve any issues - The teacher used easy terms for us to understand the key ideas and how we can relate it to our life which helped us connect engineering to our lives. - My understanding of engineering has not changed because of this class because the professor only talked about climate change. Climate change has nothing to do with engineering. - Climate change has a lot to do with engineering.The self-reflections show that there were very different ways in which the students absorbedand

Some have even mentioned using activities from the website that were not part of thetrack they attended at the workshop but fit their classroom curriculum. There was a wide breadthin the ways teachers implemented their classroom kits. Some teachers mentioned they use theactivity as an introduction to a new concept, while others used them as hands on reinforcement ofa concept they had already taught in a traditional fashion. Teachers who used the kits mentionedthat they encouraged them to try new teaching strategies in their classrooms

have been skewed by thepresentation of the topics in classes and the assignments. However, the data was collected across6-7 sections of the course taught by different instructors in each of the two years during whichdata was collected. Therefore, the data should reflect some averaging. For example, if oneinstructor taught sustainability well and with enthusiasm in one class, while another taught thetopic poorly, then the responses of students from one class should offset the responses from theother class when the data is pooled.Summary and Conclusions A survey-based study of first-year engineering students was conducted at the University ofNew Haven to determine their personality types and interest in topics such as visualization

modernized bachelor-level program at BSU’s MBE Department was developedbased upon a range of stakeholder inspirations, one of the most critical being student feedback.Through course evaluations and direct reflection of learning, undergraduates had requested moreflexibility with class selection, more hands-on engineering, and more themed learning tracks.The faculty recognized these inquiries to be of similar premise to those presented by numerousmechanical engineering education reform initiatives and publications. In these documents, thediscussion of the disassociation between industry needs and what mechanical engineers new totheir careers are prepared to provide is relentless. With the understanding that the presentcurriculum had not been

To act responsibly, they should reflect uponthe wider impacts of their work, consistently supporting the public good” [1]. This statementmakes it clear that a student cannot consider their work in a vacuum, and it also makes clear that astudent must connect their work to the impacts of that work.ABET accreditation guidelines for colleges and universities include a student outcome thatstudents from an ABET accredited undergraduate program will have “an ability to recognizeethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations” [2].

There was,however, no alignment between students’ prioritization and their values. Early interventions thathelp balance students’ priorities, supported with ongoing reflective practice, may help bringstudents’ priorities, practices and values into alignment.LimitationsWe believe that the participants in this study represent all Canadian undergraduate engineeringstudents, but recognize they are not statistically representative.

This is reflected in low scores on concept inventoryexams.1,2 Continued poor performance in thermodynamics courses is linked to students notgrasping the key concepts and failing to recognize how to apply relevant concepts in solvingproblems.3 Even when students pass thermal and fluid science courses, many fail to achieve a deepunderstanding of the fundamental concepts.

%. Two main aspects were studied:students’ success in the class and students’ results per gender and ethnicity.The first finding refers to students’ success in the class: The percentages of mixed-modestudents successfully completing Statics and advancing to other courses was in average morethan 5 percent points higher than the F2F sections. The grade distribution also reflected animportant increase in A’s and B’s with a decrease in C’s, D’s and F’s.Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted. From univariate analysis, it wasfound that race, level, overall GPA prior to the course, gender, number of prior attempts andinclusion of mixed-mode instructional delivery approach are potentially important variables forpredicting future

This knowledge helps createsbalanced teams which is critical to ensuring healthy competition in the fourth phase. During the competition, teams assume the identity of a design-build firm, dividing upindividual roles by sub-discipline as outlined previously. Team leaders are charged withproviding overall guidance and ensuring the final products reflect a fully coordinated design andconstruction plan between sub-disciplines. Teams compete to “win” the job by having the mosttechnically sound approach and best integrated design. Examining Table 1 highlights a few important similarities between The Crucible and theASC design-build
course ends (e.g., as peer tutors or project mentors), • help improve the course (e.g., by creating new active-learning exercises over the material, or scoping out new technological developments that could be incorporated into the course), and • keep you in contact with current industrial practice (e.g., by serving as a scrum master or training others in the practice).This way of looking at a course reflects a subtle, but important, difference in devising courseprojects. The question is not, How can I specify projects that will familarize students with thecourse content? but rather, How can I design projects that will help students find their role inpromoting their own learning and that of their classmates? This
infeasible for humani-tarian operations (Balcik et al. 2010). However, this has not yet been reflected in operations andsupply chain management education. Typically, practitioners who are educated on how to operatecommercial supply chains self-adapt when faced with humanitarian supply chain challenges in thefield (Duddy, Stantchev, and Weaver n.d.). Hence, there is still an urgent need to develop models thatadapt to the unique relief environment to help understand the uncertainties involved and determinewhat can be done to improve the supply chain performance, particularly in terms of coordination.However, the literature lacks studies that analytically address coordination in humanitarian reliefsupply chains.

The prevalence of these rankings in the public mind have promptedmany universities to strengthen their enrollment management strategies in order to expandenrollments, maintain better balance across enrollment swings, and to manage their discountrates (amounts offered through financial aid) to keep their institutions solvent—a pressure that islikely only to intensify due to the fiscal impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Manyinstitutions report that the downside of national rankings is that they do not accurately reflect thequality of education offered by their institution, and therefore do not make for an efficientmarket.
