Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.The training is to be applicable to all types of GTA contexts: lab, discussion, and lecture. Becausemany of our engineering students’ career goals are within non-academic settings, students oftenhave little natural motivation to develop effective pedagogical skills. As explained in our previouspaper 1 , the team made a strategic decision to combine the teaching of leadership skills and peda-gogical skills in order to appeal to GTAs who plan to go into non-academic careers. In this paper,we will present our logic model for the iELITE program, which has four categories of inputs:GTAs, Engineering Faculty, Administration (College and Departments), and External Partners (in-dustry sponsors

, full implementation, program administration, andfuture plans.Introduction For the past few decades, there have been numerous calls to improve education in theUnited States from cradle to career. Of particular importance is the demand for better STEM(science, technology, engineering and mathematics) educational programs at all levels. Whilenumerous programs have been implemented across the country to address STEM education,there is still much more to be done in order to meet the STEM workforce growth, to close theperformance gap for underrepresented minorities, and the rectify the lack of quality STEMteachers [1]. The growth of science and engineering employment opportunities is predicted tooutpace the growth of jobs in general [2], thus

Whilethere has been recent discussion of CFT in the literature, there is no clear consensus on adefinition of cognitive flexibility or how it is directly measured, particularly in complexproblem-solving situations such as engineering design. One common definition of cognitiveflexibility is the ability to switch between thinking about two different concepts and being able tothink about multiple concepts simultaneously (for example, multiple design criteria or constraintsin an engineering problem or multiple

From course to course, the kinds ofproblems that are solved and the specific knowledge and skills required can be very different.But across a wide range of courses we can define categories of knowledge and skills that arerequired for solving most problems. By referring to these categories while teaching, studying andpracticing, we can develop a framework for learning. This framework provides a location and astructure for storing important knowledge, making it easier to recall.Let’s call these learning categories the Seven C’s. 1.
