know has a correct answer,and I think this made a big impression on the students.”These issues reflect the underlying challenges and misconceptions of the scientific method forstudents who are new to research. Because students are typically given close-ended problems intheir high school courses, where there is a specific “right” answer, it is difficult for them tounderstand that most real life applications of engineering and science are open-ended and thatmultiple solutions can produce the same result. This has been evident in prior research [15],showing that restricted lab procedures in high schools frequently result in moderate learningprocesses, as students do not spend adequate time in sense-making (i.e. making sense of orgiving meaning to

course evaluation comments. These comments came at the end of thefall semester of 2019.Most negative comments reflect the students’ desire to spend less time in lecture in general andmore time on their projects, as exemplified by the following two comments copied from thecourse evaluation. I extremely disliked the lectures and the other assignments and readings for this class. They were pointless and a waste of my time. I just wanted to work on my senior design project and the other assignments and readings for this course took up time I could have spent on my project. I thought the first portion of book club was helpful, but the latter seemed a little unnecessary. Rather than having a bunch of presentations, I

Most review problems relied on content from thesebecause understanding how fundamental mechanics principles apply to the design of steel orreinforced concrete structures is vital.

A key purpose of the NSPE code of ethics is to engage the members towork and behave according to the principles of the association and to protect the organization’sinterests [14].With experience practitioners acquire both knowledge about ethical issues and better strategiesfor working through ethical problems [12]. The survey results might reflect a lack of trainingand experiential learning in the practice of engineering as well as a need for greater

Merriam(1998) maintained that case studies are interpretive in that they draw upon descriptive data theinvestigator uses to develop conceptual categories that in turn illustrate, support, or challengeexisting theoretical assumptions held prior to the data collection [19]. The primary data-gathering strategies employed were participant observation of project activities over a two-yearperiod.

Therefore, it was necessary to: (a) use a familiar context such as a food stand with which most students have some experience with; and, (b) keep the complexity level of the system relatively low to focus on learning database-related concepts rather than on understanding the underlying dynamics of a com- plex system/simulation. For advanced database courses, it is recommended to use contexts with more complex entities and relations that may not have simple visual representations (e.g., database design for human resource management or medical records). This would further enhance how the I-SBL module reflects a future professional context.This paper presents a first attempt to develop

One of the key metrics that demonstrates this wasthat students provided significantly lower scores for ”Communicate Effectively with Instructor”when the instructor was telepresent instead of co-located.Interestingly, students also gave lower scores to the telepresent instructor for questions about theirinterest in doing future work. In response to questions about their interest in doing future workdesigning such projects and in working with hot glue guns, students gave the telepresentinstructor significantly lower

Their interview responses also diverged in terms of how they explained thefunctionality of their design prototype features. Not only did they suggest different purposes forthe same component, they also differed in what kind of model they understood the designconstruction to be. At one end of the spectrum, some Group B team members explained howlight and sound were actually absorbed or reflected by the particular physical materials theychose for their construction, while others framed the physical materials as “stand-ins” for whatthe design would be composed of at larger scale.Group A’s strongly shared understandings of their design concept were consistent

These findings are paramount in engineering education as they reveal the emotional effectsand the actions taken by students when grades are not favorable. Low grades can further beassociated with student disengaging from lecture sessions or from the entire course.The open-ended responses reflect that most students will increase their effort to study more whengrades are not as expected, others will simply pass/fail the course.

Aneffective strategy to motivate students to contribute in their group is to implement a peerevaluation system where the students evaluate their group members and themselves.Including a self-evaluation is a critical aspect of the group evaluation because it providesthem an opportunity to reflect on their performance and see where they can improve. Fromyears of experience in analyzing group evaluations, students tend to be honest on self-evaluations and are sometimes even harder on themselves than they are on their groupmembers.

Still, from an outcome-oriented perspective,students leaving STEM and excelling in their non-STEM discipline would be expected to have anincrease in GPA, though the challenge is to separate what proportion of that increase is due todifferences in program match and what is due to differences in program rigor.Causal Implications for Policy. Related to the above, the RISE serves as a diagnostic, but notnecessarily a prescriptive tool for changes to improve student success.
