their abilities in mathematics and/or science and they challengedthemselves by choosing to take advanced courses in their curricular plans (Martinez Ortiz et al.,2017).Intrinsic motivation is not the only correlation to self-determination. Self-determination alsocorrelates to educational phenomenon such as optional functioning, personality integration, socialdevelopment, internalization of extrinsic motivations and personal well-being (Reeve, Hamm, andNix, 2003; Deci & Ryan, 1985b, 1987, 1991, 2000; Deci, Vallerand, Pelletier, & Ryan, 1991;Grolnick & Ryan, 1987; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Sheldon & Kasser, 1998; Vallerand, Fortier, & Guay,1997).Self-Determination “is the ability to have choices and some degree of control over

In 1992 he became CEO of MAN Miller Druckmaschinen GmbH and was responsible for production, logistics, quality, services, personal and factory planning. He also was responsible for a certain product range of the parent company MAN Roland AG. Prof. Dr.-Ing. U. Lindemann succeeded Professor Ehrlenspiel in 1995 as head of the Institute of Product Development at the Technical University of Munich. Within the time since 1995 until today he served as Dean for Study Affairs and as Dean of the Faculty Mechanical Engineering. Today he is a member of the Academic Senate of the Technical University Munich. He is

Co-teaching allowed us to put engineering inconversation with policy making. We also strategically assembled student teams so that eachteam was comprised of students from each of the engineering departments 1. This providedstudents the opportunity to engage with members of their cohort whom they may have littlecontact with over the course of their studies as a result of sub-discipline tracking. Importantly,course participants also collaborated with representatives from city and the county agenciescharged with managing the local sewer system and a
total of 4computational thinking competencies: Abstraction, Algorithm and Procedures, PatternRecognition, and Problem Decomposition. Pattern Recognition was the most observed CTcompetency with 5 instances. Sam engaged in Abstraction on 4 occasions when giving buildingblocks representations of real world objects (i.e., a stack of rectangular blocks referenced as awall). The Algorithm and Procedures competency was observed during moments where Samfollowed instructions from his mother to participate in building structures. We observed only 1instance of Problem Decomposition when Sam discussed the plans for building the puppyplayground at the beginning of the task. Case #2: DanDuring the engineering design activity, we observed 9 instances

While compliance with federal lawsis important, it is not regarded as an indication of a commitment to continuous improvement andexcellence in education. Furthermore, since ABET accredits programs

Theauthors found that students who participated in the creative lab demonstrated a higher confidencein continuing in engineering coursework than those who did not. As the study states, “Creativityis an important attribute for engineers practicing their profession in a global society” [12].Although students struggled with the open-ended nature of the design problems, they enjoyed thecourse and saw the value in the addition to their curriculum. Illustrating the importance of incorporating real-world engineering design problems, Odehet al. write, “Nowadays, engineering education needs to meet the requirements and needs ofbusiness and industry. This can be achieved by collaborating with the local
educator and the industry professional field those questions. In practice, theprofessional fields questions about project implementation, while the educator fields questionsabout project requirements. When students are happy with their project, they upload their WARfile to the server and the educator grades it (project grading is not automated).Live, online Q&A sessions are held one evening per week and only last about an hour.Attendance is not mandatory, but we do require students to view the recording if they cannotattend. Even though they are called Q&A sessions, we almost always have something planned. Acommon occurrence is that the educator will share his screen and will begin going through theproject on his computer. The industry

In explicit form, the equation of a surface is z = f(x, y). The explicit formrequires the values of the two variables x and y in order to compute the value of z and locate thepoint, P(x, y, z).

disengage in certain circumstances. Although it identifies eight dimensions of moral disengagement (moral justification, euphemistic labeling, advantageous comparison, displacement of responsibility, diffusion of responsibility, distortion of consequences, attribution of blame, and dehumanization), the scale is most correctly used as a measure of the single higher order concept of moral disengagement. • Experiences (17 items): Students were asked about their participation within the last two years and their plans to participate in the future in seventeen types of experiences: 1. Volunteer regularly (1+ time per month for 6 months longer) 2. Mission or volunteering trip (any location) 3. Work or internship in a non-profit

As Ball & Cohen(2013, p. 16) put it, “Examining student thinking is a core activity of [teachers’] practice.” Inorder to help teachers develop their responsiveness, teacher educators and teacher professionallearning communities typically rely on artifacts of classroom practice (i.e. examples of studentwork, video or audio recordings of classroom events, or field notes on classroom events) toanalyze pedagogical moves/approaches, to investigate the possible consequences of theirpedagogical approach for students’ learning, and to consider intentions and plans for futurepedagogical
