Design in Engineering Education
Design EngineeringEducation (TIDEE) project has yielded assessment tools intended to measure engineering designlearning outcomes, including communication, teamwork, and design outcomes. 4, 8, 9Missing from these measures of student outcomes, however, are reflective accounts from thestudents themselves, though Pierrakos et al. did explore student perceptions of learning using a Page 26.1425.350-item survey instrument. 10 But capstone design is a complex instructional environment thatoften results in a diverse array of learning experiences; surveys or rubrics may overlookadditional or unanticipated outcomes. To address this gap, we present an

As such, genres reflect thevalue systems of individual organizations (e.g., a stand alone business) and also large scalecommunities (e.g., engineers). Being a proficient writer means becoming intimatelyknowledgeable of the conditions of participation in a given community of practice.

These also significantly exceededthe fall, 2013 URM STEM enrollment figures which reflect a student body consisting of 9.2%URM. When awards were evaluated in terms of student enrollment category we found that 40%of awards went to first-time, full-time students, 28% went to transfer students, 22% to returningstudents and 10% to second degree seeking students.When the retention of FTFT students who received awards was examined, we found that 71.4%of awardees were retained in STEM one year later, and 81.6% were retained here in any major.This favorably compares with STEM FTFT retention figures

In Given/Find,students are required to use appropriate variables and notations to represent what is given and whatis to be found. By relating given information to relevant principles, tentative strategies along withthe associated rationale are presented in Strategy, followed by governing equations. When a systemof independent equations for the equal number of unknowns is obtained, Matlab is used to findnumerical solutions.

Tool in Addressing Gender BiasAbstractAfter decades of addressing the gender bias in engineering and computer fields, there areexpectations, particularly by women in these fields, that the biases would have been eradicated 1long before 2014. However, an Implicit Association assignment addressing the Gender Gap inmultiple recent semesters of a Computer Ethics class produced results which the author foundboth surprising and disturbing in the biases reflected, and justified, by current students. As astrategy in dealing with this, Problem Based Learning (PBL) was used as the basis of a moreextensive, team-based project in the Spring 2014 iteration of the class. The three

The activism of the second wave of feminism produced the majority ofcurriculum feminization and raised concerns about the effect of feminized curriculum on boys.The third wave, also called post-feminism, is a time of confusion for most girls and women whobelieve they live in a society of equality but experience sexism in many obvious and hiddenways. British Columbian curriculum documents no longer mention feminist requirements butfocus on aboriginal and racial diversity, reflecting the post-feminist culture that women are equaland sexism no longer needs mentioning.

The survey findingsshowed that students were most frequently “active or very active” in laboratory groups andinformal study groups and least frequently active in study abroad programs, activities sponsoredby the home college, and women/minority organizations (Table 3). More frequent and activeparticipation in lab groups and informal study groups reflects overall the emphasis and prioritythat engineering students place on their studies,19 while on the other end of the spectrum, theinfrequent participation in study abroad programs is consistent with generally low participationin such programs by engineers nationally,20 and may also be a result

In the present study,the emphasis will be on understanding the connections through the developed and implementedinstructional strategies and teacher reflections on the experiences during the elementary sciencemethods course. The following questions guide this study:  How does the collaboration between engineering students and pre-service teachers impact the subject matter knowledge needed to design and implement instruction for science and engineering?  What are the affordances and constraints that pre-service teachers’ identify as impacting the process of designing and implementing

There has been significant research into the creation ofconcept maps as well as their use in assessing student learning [5], [6], [7]. Concept maps havealso been used to assess student learning in the specific area of sustainability [8], [9], [10].For one of the sustainability problems on the final exam, the students were asked to describe theinteraction between the earth and the sun.

Of the 640 REU sites currently listed, only 4 include community colleges(nsf.gov).The processes and people involved in this definition also influenced what went in theengineering curriculum and what stayed out. For example, Rolston and Cox argue that by takingthe “mind out of the shop” and into the university, engineering educators throughout the 20thcentury recreated a class division with significant social justice dimensions: “The shift in focus of engineering training from the job
