The students then had to use their mechanics knowledge and design a canopy for theentrance of the building that also integrated with the design of their facade. The objective was toallow them to see the feasibility of their designs. This project gave students the opportunity topractice design that is aesthetically pleasing but also structurally feasible. Thus, emphasizing thatthey cannot design abstractly without considering the structural integrity of their designs.The comments from the students in the end of term evaluation highlighted that despite projectsof this scale being enjoyable and beneficial to

. Not only do these practices help to support a strong foundation for educational action research studies, they also serve as a foundation for an educational culture within which transformative learning can occur. 2. Experiential design courses should be used to teach integrated skills, and also these courses should be extended throughout the curriculum in a way that allows for maximum scaffolding, possibly beginning as early as the freshman year in some form. 3. More broadly, experiential opportunities should be developed that complement engineering programs and empower students to build integrated practical and professional/interpersonal skills, to participate in an inclusive, supportive engineering

National and Institutional Responses to the Bologna Process: The Significance ofthe Danish CaseThe Bologna Process was initiated through a 1999 ministerial meeting involving the educationministers of 29 European countries. While expectations of professional labor mobilityaccompanied the Treaty of Maastricht, given the financial and monetary-policy orientation of theearly conversations about European integration, an explicit focus on higher education andworkforce development was absent from these conversations. The main concern behind Bolognawas that European universities, despite their reputation, were not producing the quantity orquality of graduates necessary for Europe to “succeed” in the global economy.2Following the general logic of economic

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

It is expected that upongraduation, most students would seek opportunities in industry [1]. Laboratories offer therequired real-world experience that is reported to significantly impact students’ learningexperience when integrated into the engineering curriculum [2].However, the use of physical laboratories comes with high monetary implications forinstitutions in terms of equipment acquisition, equipment maintenance, and staffingrequirements, especially in a rapidly evolving field like BME.

Notably, concerns have arisen from engineering majors whoexpress displeasure in being required to take math classes as part of the engineering curriculum.While math and engineering professors may find this objectionable, it is a reasonable concern,given that mathematics is often taught as an abstract discipline, and students need to grasp itsrelevance to their future roles as engineers.To address this issue, we have initiated the development of an Integrated Curriculum, startingwith two pairs of courses: MATH 140 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry I) paired with PHYS211 (General Physics: Mechanics), and PHYS 212 (General Physics: Electricity

Cooperative class environments are also perceived as“warmer” by students, which contributes to positive outcomes in a host of learning outcomes (likepersistence in STEM after graduation), especially for female engineers [35, 39]. Finally, reflectivelearning can be an important contributor to leadership development as it leads to interdependencewith others [39, 42]; connecting leadership experiences to coursework can deliberately engagestudent in reflective learning on their experiences.The curriculum is only one of two aspects of students’ college experience that influence theirdevleopment.

The most common and traditionalapproach is study abroad programs, however, a limited number of students can afford themdue to financial and other reasons. Thus, universities try to find other opportunities for the so-called ‘internationalization at home’3 e.g. cross-cultural communication trainings2.
