Additionally, inquestion five, students generally agree that participating in a numerical and experimental heattransfer project was more instructional than a similar project performed on paper. Questions 6and 7 indicate that the lab setting not only helped

. Historical event discussion suchas the longbow deployment in the English-French 100-year Conflict is a well-known examplewhere technology determined the outcome, although the physics of the longbow technology wasfinally put forward by Newton 200 years later. The technology of the atomic bomb and thephysics of the Manhattan Project is another example that society demanded physics applicationand created nuclear technology. However, we found that the learning motivation of the studentshave not improved much with this strategy of showing how physics is related to historical eventsin terms of feasibility and the consistency with all known physical laws. Therefore the physicsadvances relevant to the historical events are supplemented with parallel

Forexample, the Construction Project Management courses can be taught effectively by utilizingonline software such as bidding, scheduling and Construction Management software.Class lectures can be recorded and uploaded on course pages. Also instead of homeworks,classroom work can be given to students so that they can work under the direct supervision of aninstructor. This enables the students to ask questions and get into discussions. Also,communication can happen through internet via email, social media and internet video chatrooms.For the purpose of communication, lots of software is available for use including “BlackboardClassroom” that helps in interactions among students with video

Third-party curriculainclude Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way, and The Infinity Project, and schools havealso developed their own programs, either on their own or with other institutions, to make engineering aclassroom option for students.We asked three questions to hone in on specifically how outreach programs might be working to bringengineering directly into K-12 classrooms: • Does this program work to bring engineering into the K-12 classroom through student teachers

theatre. If we reframe day-to-dayinteractions as offers, it’s easy to spot effortless ungenerous offers and their effects. We all knowthe feeling of being asked, “How was your day?” and reluctantly trying to create and edit asatisfying narrative of our day for another’s entertainment and edification; our return offer ismost frequently an uninspired “fine”.When we reframe ours’ and our students’ interactions together as offers, a litany of activelearning stumbling blocks take on new clarity. An excellent example of this was shared by Dr.Raquell Holmes, who led a group of four students to write a book on cell modeling over multiplesemesters. Intentionally, this project required a lot of stretching on the part of the undergraduategroups. They were

Project Lead theWay, engineering education in K-12 is mostly not public, and the role of teachers in developingthese experiences has to date been limited. In this paper we seek to show why this is a problem,particularly for creating pathways to engineering for students of low socioeconomic status andstudents of color. As the Next Generation Science Standards come online, and as more and morestates adopt engineering standards for K-12 education, how can engineering education bedelivered as part of public education, involving teachers and unions fully in the process?

Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways.

One subject experienced a negative first workassignment which ties back to the importance of quality work assignments for engineeringstudents and the importance of feeling like part of the team. This subject mentioned that hergroup “set me up pretty poorly…with how it was run. So that was kind of discouraging because Icould not show up and no one would notice. So I hated that.” She mentioned that she overcameher negative feelings about the group by proactively seeking information from others in hergroup and learning all that
