Similar to Cushner and Chang (2015), He Lundgren and Pines(2017) did not see dramatic growth on the IDI, but did see some positive changes in theparticipants’ beliefs, insights, and teaching practices.Using a different assessment strategy, Oken, Jansen, Hoffman and Coelen (2022) foundinternational experience to have a significant positive impact on developing the interculturalcompetence of teachers.

In addition, qualities emphasized by Atman, Haik, and other researchers1, 3, 5, 17 weretaken into consideration before rating a particular design model. Overall, particular ratings areobjectively based on experience.The evaluated models come from various engineering journals and books.

Additionally, there is a concern that engineering should better reflect the nationalpopulation. Increasing diversity amongst engineering practitioners is important both from anequity perspective as well as a workforce development perspective (a more diverse populationmeans more diverse perspectives are represented, leading to innovation; also, to attract asufficient workforce we will need to attract women and underrepresented minorities).

The main purpose of the meetings was tomake the students accountable for keeping up with their research, to discuss the journal articlesthat they were assigned, to provide opportunities for presenting their results, and interacting withtheir peers and the faculty supervisor. The following excerpt from the course syllabussummarizes the expectations for this research course: Laboratory notebook. The student will keep a notebook recording all his/her findings.

School Psychology Programs developed a task force to address issues with thepracticum.Practicums are common in a Master of Social Work program. Lee and Fortune (2013) conductedresearch on practicums in MSW programs in order to evaluate the importance of “thinking”activities in addition to “doing” activities. They concluded that student reflection is an importantpart of the learning process in a practicum, and that “school faculties can facilitate students’reflection by focusing on application of theories in practice situations” (p. 657).Several business programs require a practicum. At Stanford University, the Graduate School ofBusiness considers the practicum to be “a key element in the revamped program” for PublicManagement (Stanford

In contrast, students in traditionallecture pedagogies receive information from the lecturer and their participation andengagement is minimal. As Smith, Sheppard [26] express: “students learn more whenintensely involved in educational process and are encouraged to apply their knowledge inmany situations” (p.87). According to Bonwell and Eison [22], the amount of informationretained by students declines considerably after ten minutes of listening, so traditionalinstructional strategies may not be effective, specially in engineering education.

Shaping engineering education with this idea in mind is attentiveto the role of identity in what people do,30 and can serve to provide intellectual, conceptual, andnarrative resources to assist professionals as they navigate their work world. Engineering,similar to other professions, has a language,18 and that language frames how practitioners thinkof themselves and their work.27 As Korte notes in a 2013 study, “the developing professionalidentities of new engineers are reflected in the narratives they construct regarding

Below, we summarize some ofthe relevant works on cognition relating to our research based on the extended summary ofcognition, value and decision-making research by Sprehn18.Earlier studies on cognition began in 1940s, where laboratory studies aimed at identifying groupsof people with significant differences in their cognitive processes. Some of the predominanttheories of this epoch are: 1) Perceptual versus Conceptual Groupers3, 2) Sharpeners andLevelers4, 3) Field Dependency/Independency5, and 4) Impulsive versus Reflective Thinkers6,7.We refer the readers to Kozhevnikov8 for an in depth review in this area.

We hope thefrequency at which those attempts are correct increases with practice. How then should wedivide up the overall task? Critical to that division is its granularity – how small are the actionsthat are deemed to reflect individual skills and how many different skills are recognized amongthe different actions of the same general type.To illustrate issues of

Theseinclude:  Using the Index of Learning Styles (ILS)4-6 to categorize learning style preferences and tailor information delivery. The ILS is a relatively simple measure of how students prefer to receive information. The survey divides learning style preferences into four domains with opposing descriptors, visual-verbal, active-reflective, sensory-intuitive, and sequential-global. Using these domains, it has been established that students tend to prefer visual, active, and sensory modes, despite the fact

Open-ended assessment methods, such as essays and presentations, are usualalternatives to objective tests that disclose more about knowledge structure, but are oftenaccompanied by subjective scoring rubrics that are difficult to apply30. In addition, studentinability to produce acceptable artifacts (e.g. reports or posters) may be mistaken for lack ofknowledge in the domain30. Consequently, traditional open-ended assessments may beunfeasible for broad and accurate sustainability

Extracurricular involvement caninclude a wide range of activities, which can have numerous academic and personal benefits (andsome drawbacks).
