active learning interventions and the prevalence of flipped classrooms have increasedin recent years (Koretsky et al. 2015). While still not universally accepted, some studies suggestthat both active learning interventions and flipped class approaches can increase student learningand performance (Freeman et al. 2014; O’Flaherty and Phillips 2015). Active learninginterventions can be generally defined as any instructional method that engages students in thelearning process (Prince 2004). Several core elements of active learning include student activity,student participation in the learning process, student reflection on ideas presented in the coursecurriculum, and regular assessment by students concerning their degree of understanding andhandling

Most of the interviewees touted the efficiency of these mobile paymentapplications, as well as the targeting of deals and customer rewards as attractive features, butwhen asked why they do not use these applications their answers ranged from inconvenience,uncertainty regarding the benefits of the payment platform, and mistrust of the platformregarding privacy of their personal information. It is noteworthy, that the privacy of personalinformation is a factor that encourages adoption in the NFC platform, but discourages adoptionof online mobile payment platforms. This is reflected in Figure 5 which shows that adopters ofNFC payment and cash payments are more sensitive towards disclosure of PII with a scoresignificantly above

Understanding the prosand cons of the lecture method is a helpful starting point.Lectures have a number of characteristics that does make them, for the right subject matter,desirable in the classroom (14) .It does, to a great extent, depend on the abilities andexperience of the lecturer.

Then the company displaced manufacturing toChina, and Zach had to tackle non-engineering related issues. Zach began to reflect on his workand subsequently determined he should either seek a new position or enroll in graduate school.Zach realized most of his time was spent working with CAD software for tasks that did notrequire an engineering degree. He felt the medical device company’s other divisions(orthopedics) were doing more important work. Zach considered leaving the medical devicecompany when his wife relocated for a medical residency position. At that point, he had twooptions: find a test

-12 educationresearch, neither McDermott nor Kohn have been cited in the Journal of Engineering Education.So engineering education seemingly missed the conversation and the opportunity to reflect onthe value of competition in its pedagogy and culture. Thus exploring the element of engineeringculture as competitive is more challenging to do in a historical review. Competition is somethingmany in engineering education would acknowledge, in many meanings of the word, yet fewwould feel the need to question, problematize, or even document it. Indeed, it seems few have: Ihave not found incisive historical ethnographic accounts of the development of competition orcompetitiveness in educational or professional settings to the same extent as other

Although Texas is improving at increasing college completions for students from groups that traditionally have not earned certificates or degrees in large numbers, the state has not improved quickly or broadly enough to keep up with the changes in demographics. Completions in Higher education must reflect the population as a whole. (THECB, 2015)The report continues to state that: While continuing to pursue increased knowledge and higher standards of excellence in teaching, research and innovation, two- and four-year colleges in Texas will need to consider more explicitly the primary reason most students attend college: to get a better job and achieve a better life

, misunderstandings were common because of differences in their disciplinary languages,tools, physical models, and skill sets, and also in terms of mental models of other disciplines andstereotyping. Reflecting on this experience, we have been able to develop procedures and toolsthat have reduced some of the uncertainty and friction. One example of a tool is a semantic webtool to help team members to get informed about each other’s roles and disciplines (Donate et al.2015).Current Course Offering:Thirty three engineering students from computer engineering, computer science, and electricalengineering enrolled in this elective course on app development.

Three othereffects in AudioWorks are also briefly introduced: harmonic distortion, low and high-pass filters,and amplitude modulation. For this activity, students are encouraged to bring their own electricinstruments and use the iPad running AudioWorks as an effects processor, which provides aunique opportunity to visually relate the sound of various effects to how they modify

To compensate for a lack of an item describing“associational thinking” in the original Dyer scale, two additional statements were developed todescribe this construct.Finally, to convert the modified behavioral statements from an agree-disagree scale into a self-efficacy measure, the scale instructions were adjusted to reflect a self-efficacy intent (“Pleasethink about how confident you are in your ability to do these activities”). A comparison of theoriginal Dyer et al.

Another limitation to this work relates to the pre-constructed questions and responses built intothe focus group design. The space from which students could draw questions relevant to their designwas constrained in a manner that may not be reflective of what they might ask in a true industrial set-ting. This could be remedied by an open question format; however, this is difficult to regulate withinan epistemic game environment. It would be possible to further determine student valuation of thedesign metrics through qualitative analysis of the notebook logs students maintained during theseactivities.
