deficiency in education, where the knowledge necessary for an engineer iscompromised. Allied with this fact, the evaluations of these students are also traditional,based on tests and descriptive evaluations. In Brazil, this scenario is prevalent because theresources designated to public universities for investments and improvements in teaching andlearning are limited.From traditional teaching methodologies, the development of professional skills can also becompromised [11]. The student needs to work in a team and work with structured problems inthe literature [12]. Other consequences observed in the literature are the unpreparedness ofthe future professional, school dropout [13], and lack of student commitment and cooperation[14].There are different

Prior to joining Wentworth, Dr. Donovan was program chair for mathe- matics, data analytics, and cybersecurity at Lasell University. Chairing three unique data-rich disciplines under one umbrella enabled an interdisciplinary approach to meeting student needs and curricular devel- opment. She was also responsible for the development and implementation of university wide quantitative reasoning initiatives. Scholarship has focused on first year programs, student success, and diversity & eq

He was also one of the lead project developers for the first-year multidisciplinary project-based learning course (ENG 1P13). Dr. Yu’s pedagogical approach focuses on experiential learning, collaborative learning, gamified learning, student-centred education, and design-led materials science education. Dr. Yu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the U. of Victoria in September 2022 as an Assistant Professor. He leads a research group (”Hybrid 3D”) that leverages additive manufacturing to develop new generations of hy- brid materials that are lightweight, recyclable and highly tunable to solve global sustainable development
Paper ID #38817A comparison of shared mental model measurement techniques used inundergraduate engineering contexts: A systematic reviewMr. Gregory Litster, University of Toronto Greg Litster is a PhD student in Engineering Education at the University of Toronto in the Institute for Studies in Transdisciplinary Engineering Education and Practice. He received his MASc degree in Man- agement Sciences (2022) and a Bachelor of Knowledge Integration degree (2020), both from the Univer- sity of Waterloo. His research interests are focused on mental models for engineering design teams, group dynamics and how collaboration

This course aims to bringtogether undergraduate students across disciplines from engineering, public health, pharmacy,anthropology, sociology, and other social and basic sciences to learn from each other throughco-designing solutions to address health disparities.

He has over five years’ experience in applied Ontology, Linked Data and Semantic Web work. Currently, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science under the auspices of the Department of Defense through the Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART) scholarship program.

that utilize a WATPS are more competitive in the global workforce[3], [5], [6]. However, there is reluctance to adopt a WATPS due to a lack of class time, time toprepare, and incentives; student resistance; and the faculty researcher/teacher identity tension [7],[8], [9], [10].A forced change requires instructors to adapt their teaching practices. Forced changes comeabout as a result of pandemics and natural and humanitarian disasters as well as accreditationmodifications and department and university unilateral academic policy decisions. In all of theseexamples of forced change, the motivation for change is external and may be time sensitive. Oneexample of a forced change was the COVID-19 pandemic; it provided an external reason
learning pedagogies ofproblem-based and project-based learning (PPBL). Using PPBL as a teaching and learning strategyfacilitates cooperative learning, critical thinking, systemic reasoning, creative approach, andsocietal awareness, which are the core values of sustainability. However, translating this into aworking curriculum is quite complex, and raises implementation issues such as physicalarrangements for an active learning environment, changes in the assessment and grading system,providing both teachers and students with at least rudimentary knowledge of PPBL methods,achieving institutional support, etc. Another issue is the program-level decision of having a fulldedicated course on sustainable engineering, or introducing modules on
