their strength as self-directed learners [6], [8], [9]. Designing a project which is appropriate for the concepts presentedto the learners is an example of a course design element which empowers the adults to be activeparticipants in the course.Adult learners derive their self-identity largely from their great depth of experience [6], [8], [9].Because of this pre-existing knowledge, the participants learn from each other and have a richerfoundation of experience to which to relate new experiences [6], [8]–[12]. In contrast, adults canalso be less open minded due to fixed habits and an unwillingness to change. A constructivistapproach enables the learners to be in control of their own learning, takes advantage of priorknowledge, and aims for

EngineeringFaculties’ Responses to Nature of Engineering Instrument (Work-In-Progress) AbstractEngineering faculty have advanced experiences with engineering that non-engineers do nothave, but what Nature of Engineering (NOE) concepts do engineering researchers hold? For K-12 engineering education, having an informed NOE understanding is an essential part ofengineering literacy. Yet for the higher education engineering community, NOE is hardly everdiscussed. Understanding engineering faculties’ NOE views can be a valuable contribution tocurrent NOE research. Our project is part of a collaboration between a southwestern US highereducation institute and a Vietnamese University. The cohort of Vietnamese engineering
experience differs noticeably between studies. Early work in productdissection focused on the benefits of learning how products work [3, 4, 16], while more recentwork has investigated how product dissection may be beneficial during product redesign as asource of inspiration or to provide a jumping off point for creative idea generation [17-20]. Theuse of product dissection as a tool in product redesign is important, because a goal of engineeringeducation is to teach students how to apply the design process to improve their ability to utilizeinnovative processes in industry. [21, 22]. Through the use of project based learning, educatorscan integrate product dissection into the design process and promote creativity; both of which arepart of ASEE’s
