In addition to that, all of the groupswere asked to compare their results with their home countries in terms of any major differ-ences or even similarities. The results were presented and discussed in class during one of theearly live sessions. Hereby the students simultaneously gained knowledge about their futuredestination and challenged their personal understanding about their own cultural background.Furthermore, they were introduced into the home countries of their future classmates. Anoth-er activity in this course part was dominated by several discussions about the essence of theengineering profession, necessary competences for successful careers in

contradicts a careful study of four institutions constrained in terms of educationalinnovation by accreditation, not because the process itself was cumbersome, but because of thenorms and constraints imposed by ABET evaluators and the broader engineering culture. 33Because ABET relies strongly on “old-boy networks” – exclusive relationships of mutualsupport and influence – to select leadership from Program Evaluators on up, the decision-makingstructure has a pronounced problem of underrepresentation (even by engineering standards) ofwomen, people of color, and younger engineers. Have any ABET evaluators been educatedunder EC 2000? How many have a true appreciation for professional skills? How many havespent careers focused narrowly in technical

In addition, categories of learning domains whichseem very relevant for the engineering industry and career-related requirements may not bepractically easy to implement when it comes to classification, measurement of PIs, and realisticfinal results for CQI measurement.A hypothetical Learning Domains Wheel as shown in Figure 7 was developed by the Faculty ofEngineering to analyze the popular learning domains models available, including Bloom’s, with aperspective of realistic measurement of outcomes based on valid PIs classification that does notresult in a vague indicator mechanism for CQI in engineering education. Learning domainscategories mentioned in this paper specifically refer to broad

So far, as shown in Table 9, the Noyce program hasenrolled 16 interns (undergraduate students who have demonstrated some interest in teaching as a career)and 43 scholars (undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the college’s teaching certificationprogram). Cumulative demographics for all cohorts (I through IV) indicate a distribution of 55% femaleand 45% male students. The interns have no obligations for the summer support they get other than takinga CMST course (e.g., CPS 101) afterward but the scholars are required to

renewable energy-based nanotechnology education module that is focused on the development of next-generationsolar cells. This specific topic was selected due to the rising interest of early-career engineers inadvanced energy conversion technologies. Furthermore, the local expertise regarding thisspecific form of solar energy conversion allowed for a complete, yet simplified, picture of thefundamental scientific and nanotechnology principles to be communicated to the FYE students.That is, by having a technical expert that was both familiar with the utilization of quantum dotsolar cells and the FYE program at Purdue, a clear overlap in student abilities andnanotechnology relevance was established.Quantum Dot Solar Cells.
