includes four categories of how anindividual processes and evaluates information29. The first category describes how a personinteracts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energy frominteractions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer more of arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how a personprocesses information. A person who process data with their senses is referred to as a Sensors(S) and a person who sees where data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensorversus iNtuitor category is an interesting area of study when it comes to engineering education,because professors are historically intuitors while most engineering

Throughout the semester, students will be given short-quizzes atthe end of most lecture periods. Short answer and true-false questions will be included on thesequizzes and the type and difficulty of the question(s) presented during each short-quiz willparallel the type and difficulty of the questions presented on the pre-quiz to ensure parallel formreliability. As a result, the five short-answer questions on the short-quiz can be compared toparallel questions on the pre-quiz to assess comprehension (per lecture).

their practical course-support needs and industry practitioners can post theirofferings (e.g., specialization(s), ongoing innovative projects, type of support, and availability),and the instructors will be intelligently matched with industry practitioners who can meet theirneeds. We hypothesize that by intelligently matching the practice needs of students (andinstructors) with the potential offerings of industry practitioners, students’ noticing andawareness can be disciplined in the practice of construction engineering, and they can begin toidentify with the construction CoP. The key question to be addressed in this research is: Howdoes the accessibility, facilitated by ConPEC, translate into improved disciplined perception andstrengthen

Team membersrecognized what the literature on culture change has long described: that dissonance motivateschange (as in Festinger 1962). Team members often described culture change as their goal; in thesame sentence, they would indicate that they welcomed uncomfortable conversations becausethese conversations, when approached with openness and listening ears, drew out the best ideasand created a supportive team environment. On a larger scale, we see these discussions as beingconsistent with Bowe et al.’s (2003) recommendations relating to identifying contradictions

There are anumber of faculty though who have little knowledge of EBT and who must be providedbackground information before they can think of applying it. To this end, STEER has institutedtwo different types of faculty retreats:(a) Departmental retreatsSTEER personnel attend departmental retreats at the invitation of department chairs. Typically,they are allowed 1.5 to 2 hours to present an overview of EBT practices and evidence of theirvalidity. After the overview, several practices are generally

Whenpresented with a problem, they are equipped to quickly identify which style of learning andtechnique(s) best apply to the situation enabling them to address problems in a timelier manner.While metacognition and SDL skills sets can be applied to familiar problems, they also providevalue in approaching unfamiliar problems. IRE alumni consistently reported earning confidencefrom peers and supervisors through a versatile ability of routinely solving unfamiliar problemsmaking the alumni valuable workplace assets.Future Directions and SignificanceWe have identified three areas of research we intend to pursue.

technique allowed them to produce a much higher quality presentation than they wouldhave been able to by themselves. This finding was echoed by the comments from advisors, whowere pleased with the students’ presentations and who appreciated having the EA trainer(s) teachthe technique in such detail. A second major theme that emerged from the interviews was thepositive reaction to the critique sessions, including the expectation that they would not beenjoyable (but they were), and the degree to which their talks improved as a result of thesessions. A final theme that emerged from the interviews was the positive reaction to being ableto network with other students. The only consistent comment that was not positive was about theamount of work that the
other related disciplines have changed substantially, and so we are really out of touch (speaking broadly not individually). o As an example, the singular-value decomposition (SVD) in linear algebra is a widely used technique in statistics, computer science, engineering, finance, and economics, and yet many pure mathematicians are unfamiliar with the topic, in large part because good numerical algorithms weren’t developed until the 1960’s and 1970s. To many mathematicians, linear algebra is the study of the algebraic properties of vector spaces and linear transformations. Some mathematicians pay little attention to the geometric
