process) and POED 4(prototyping, testing, and post-mortem analysis) represent the two largest areas of student focus,but with POED 2a (concept generation) the second largest individual category. By comparing Figure 6(c) and the terms we highlight in Figure 6(a), we observe that thewords most frequently cited overall seem to approximately map to the POED most frequentlywritten about by individuals. We note the frequent use of the word ‘team,’ and the fact thatPOED 1, which deals with several issues pertinent to team formation, organization, andmanagement, both represent areas frequently explored by individuals in the LS. Similarly, weobserve that ‘concept(s)’ were extremely well represented in the writing samples. Those wordscould refer to

learning are ways of teaching that better connect the component parts of engineeringwork"8(p174). Sheppard et al. identify five key insights for rethinking the education of engineers:“Engineering work is inherently interactive and complex; Formulating problems and solvingproblems are interdependent activities; Engineering has many publics, Engineering incorporatesmany domains beyond the technical; Engineers affect the world.”8(p175) However, pockets ofinnovation suggest that transformation of engineering education is underway. In order tomeasure this transformation, it is important to benchmark the current practice, or 'signaturepedagogy', of engineering.Signature PedagogiesA signature pedagogy “organize[s] the fundamental ways in which future

Figure 5The data indicates that students’ success attaining this performance indicator, was higherin part 2 (75%) than in part 1 (50%). This is as expected result, since part 1 requiredmore critical thinking skills, than part 2. Overall, the students performed 63% percent.This level of success leaves much room for quality improvement, but at least there isconfidence that the assessment procedure outlined in this work is a good tool formeasuring and demonstrating ABET outcome E.[1] www.abet.org[2] Dudeck, K., Grebski, W.

Whenyou're a kid it ha[s] a great influence on you, because ... your dad just looked like an Einstein.”For Sean, being a good son was tied up in being a good teacher and a good engineer, as successin one indicates success in the others. He also drew on his experiences and identity as a non-native speaker when talking about his work teaching engineering, as demonstrated in thefollowing quote: “One of my students asked me, ‘Oh my god. I got a minus work, a negative work.’ ... Don't feel bad about the negative work…. This negative means that this is work out of your system, not into your system. For example, the pump work, and the rankine cycle is positive

“professional knowledge” as a type ofknowledge arising from engagement in reflection activities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s(2008) notion of accountable disciplinary knowledge. In other words, reflection activities canhelp students gain or advance their knowledge in relation to course learning objectives,knowledge and skills required for accreditation, etc. In talking with students to explore whetherthe reflection activity did result in professional knowledge, we might be interested in statementsfrom students such as: “I learned something relevant to the course objectives,” “I learnedsomething relevant to my degree,” and “I learned something related to getting a universitydegree.”Factor 2: Personal knowledgeReflection activities have the

efficiency of transaction processing. Mobility refers tothe capability of mobile payment transactions to be carried out at any time and in any place. Easeof use is the ease with which transactions can be performed using mobile payment methods.Mobile payments are completed in a relatively short time when compared to other forms ofpayment, hence the speed attribution, and the security of mobile payments is also a benefit thatmakes mobile payments adoption particularly advantageous [1][4][5]. The ease-of-use, speed,and efficiency of transaction processing are factors that boost merchant adoption as well [2].“The acceptance of mobile payment method[s] by merchant[s] especially small and mid-sizedbusiness[es] (SMBs) has risen tremendously…[to] 21% of

The experience students gain with CAD, CAM, FEA, and CNC machining during thisproject, both through their successes and failures along the way, prepares them for a betterchance at success while working on other projects in this course and in their capstone designprojects, and, of course, after graduation and throughout their careers as engineers.References[1] Perez, D., J.
