Also, candidates may prefer explaining problems with a pencil on thepaper or on a computer using an integrated development environment. Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

This innovative model for integrating team science training within an existing biodesigneducation program was previously described, along with preliminary evidence of effectiveness[2]. The team science model for the EIH program and evaluation activities were adapted from thepre-pandemic learning environment to the remote-learning environment instituted during thepandemic, allowing for comparison of outcomes before and during the pandemic.MethodsPrevious course adaptations around team science were made and tracked by the teaching teamduring each of three academic years (Y1: 2018–2019, Y2: 2019–2020, Y3: 2020–2021) [2].Impacts of adaptations on team functioning

We engagenot only within our office, but in the classroom, around the dinner table, at a picnic, in groups,one-on-one. This ability to get to know this student, from their upbringing to their roommates tohow they engage with other members of their support network, creates deeper connection andunderstanding regarding their experiences and situations.

This integration suggests thatwhile not always explicitly labeled as “Design thinking”, the essence of this approachis nevertheless present and emphasized through the practical application of itsstrategies in developing the curriculum.In this regard, design thinking could be viewed as an hidden component in education,underpinning the creation of learning experiences without always being an explicitlytaught
this need was amajor outcome of the recent “Engineering Design and Practices Roundtable: Working Togetherto Advance Pre K-12 Engineering Design” convened by the Museum of Science in Boston inJanuary 2015. Without a shared understanding of what engineering design practices (orcomputational thinking in this case) look like in pre-college settings, researchers and curriculumdevelopers will result in numerous inconsistencies across the broad spectrum of implementation.The project reported in this paper aims to integrate computational thinking into an existingintegrated STEM curriculum. In order to develop computational thinking supplementsappropriate for young children, the team analyzed the existing curriculum and videotapedobservations of
intended outcomes. The researchers then analyzed enactment with anactor-oriented perspective to understand educators’ learning goals, decisions about what toimplement or adapt from a unit, and reasoning for implementing in these ways. We used these two lenses to examine how a sample of educators enacted the OSTengineering curricula. We asked: 1) How did educators implement OST curricula? 2) To whatextent did they implement the curriculum with integrity? and 3) Why did they make thecurricular decisions and modifications they did?Methods We used a multiple-case study approach [19] to examine integrity of implementation andactor-oriented perspectives of four educators as they facilitated an engineering design curriculumwith youth in

Dr. Suazo’s central work is on exploring learners’ integration of different types of knowledge when working on tasks. Following Dewey’s (1938) theory of experience and Schwab’s (1969, 1983) conceptualization of curriculum, Dr. Suazo explored the concept of personal practical knowledge (Elbaz, 1981) with an eighth grade mathematics teacher. This construct encapsulates different ways of knowing that teachers refer to when interacting with their students. She has also explored K-12 learn- ers’ experiences working on STEM units and tasks involving real-world contexts. For example, as part

While there areundisputable benefits to integrating design problems into the curriculum during the freshmanyear of engineering education, it's important to acknowledge that such integration often demandsa substantial commitment of faculty time and resources [15].Project Based LearningProject-based learning is an educational approach that promotes students to acquire a diverse setof skills and knowledge by creation of their own projects. This approach not only expands theirunderstanding but also develops problem solving abilities and critical thinking.This review article targets to explore the effectiveness of project-based learning in the freshmanyear of engineering education. In response to this educational trend

It isvirtually impossible to use the course delivery and assessment methods previously used in face-to-face classroom setting without modifications for use in an online setting. The activitiespreviously used in a face-to-face classroom setting have to be replaced with similar activitieswhich are conducive to be used in an online setting.The course delivery methods and instructional activities part aside, assessments methods must bemodified as well for use in an online setting. While one of the reasons being that some of theassessment methods cannot be effectively used in an online setting, the other
facilitated the emergence of faculty-driven affinity groups that will serve as onevehicle for increasing pedagogical risk-taking among faculty. The development of othermechanisms to spur additive innovation and pedagogical risk-taking are also underway.At Colorado State University (CSU), a team of educators are working to overcome the failings ofthe current engineering educational system by reimagining the roles that faculty play in theteaching and learning environment within the Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE). The team is implementing a new pedagogical and organizational modelwhere the curriculum is no longer treated as a set of disparate courses taught in unconnectedpieces, but as an integrated system that fosters
effectiveness. Closed-loop implies performance data is compared to a referencevalue and depending on the magnitude of the difference, the implementation strategy for theacademic program is modified.SPK functional areas derived from the following ABET General Criteria [12] are: 1. Students: Ensure students are academically prepared and scheduled to be in the right place in the program at the right time. 5. Curriculum: Ensures an integrated set of courses and laboratory experiences from the discipline BOK to develop knowledge, skills, and behaviors of students and satisfies accreditation and university requirements.Extra-Curricular, also an SPK Functional Area, consists of non-curriculum related programactivities that also develop knowledge

To assist students in developing theirprofessional identity and behavior, an immersive, first-year experience with shadowingcomponents was developed to renovate the Introduction to Bioengineering course at theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This type of experience is designed to exposestudents to the professional environment with a didactic and self-reflective curriculum, therebysupporting students in their early professional development. The class was taken from a passiveseminar series that broadly covered the bioengineering field to one split into three career-centered foci, each with an overview and experience: i

Engineering designeducators grapple with integrating substantial knowledge content, transcending industry anduser-centered design approaches, and addressing design as a practice in an age of complexsystems of interaction. Additionally, they continue to seek ways to incorporate real-worldproblems and dynamics into the classroom setting. While human-centered design thinkingapproaches, alongside experiential learning practices found in Kolb’s Experiential Learning, arebeneficial, there is still more that
