These 31 factors were classified and organized into sixcategories: 1) culture, 2) change management, 3) institutional support, 4) pedagogical knowledgeand skills, 5) students´ experience, and 6) faculty motivation.BackgroundSeveral reports on engineering education make the call to change pedagogical approaches inengineering by increasingly embedding research on learning into teaching practices [1-3].

The term encompasses seven differenttechnologies, as per ASTM nomenclature [1], powder bed fusion, material jetting, directed energydeposition, binder jetting, vat photo polymerization, material extrusion and sheet lamination.These technologies use a variety of feedstock materials such as polymers, metals, ceramics, andconcrete by systematically depositing layer upon layer to create a near net shape of the final partrequired. As opposed to traditional machining techniques like CNC, milling, machining, in AM,material is added instead of

Without a good foundation in calculus, engineeringmajors will have difficulty in applying the knowledge in their junior or senior level courses.Many aspects of engineering require an application of calculus such as: design of storm drainand open channel systems; calculation of forces in complex configurations of structuralelements; analysis of beams (i.e., shear forces, bending moment, deflection, stress distribution);analysis of structure relating to seismic design; design of a pump based on flow rate and head;calculations of bearing capacity, lateral earth pressure, and shear strength of soil; computation ofearthquake induced slope

However,providing individualized feedback to students can be very time consuming for faculty andteaching assistants. Therefore it is important to provide authentic assessments and feedback thatsupport learning [1] while balancing the time required by course staff. New computer-basedtools have been developed to assist instructors with grading and feedback beyond the traditionalmultiple-choice Scantron based test. Learning management

Although team diversity could increase creativity and innovation in teams, if notmanaged well, it could also have negative consequences for teams.

IntroductionWhile the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has identified effectivecommunication as a critical competency and writing skills are widely recognized as beingimportant for practicing engineers and scientists [1], strategies for developing thosecommunication skills in engineering students have been rather limited. Engineering facultytypically feel more certain of their ability to convey technical material than to teach (or respondto) student writing. At the level of an individual course, one common model is for technicalfaculty to collaborate on assignment design and response with co-teachers who specialize inwriting or communication

This means that Unit Ops courses must have a strategy for placingstudents into teams, which by itself is a difficult problem and an active area of research.Instructors have several options for assigning teams. One is team self-selection (allowing studentsto choose their own groups), which requires minimal effort on the part of the instructor. However,there are several drawbacks associated with self-selection, including bad student experiences,team homogeneity, clique behavior, and negative effects on students’ perception of many aspectsof the course. These are well-summarized by

According to Wolf-Branigin (2013) and Heylighen (2008), complex systems shareat least three characteristics: 1. The system is self-organizing: Through interacting with one another, the actors within a system spontaneously (i.e., without direction from a centralized authority) arrange themselves to create a global system structure. In terms of organizational change, this means that change within an organization cannot be generated by a central authority, but rather must be championed and

This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. While many programs utilize UGTAs inengineering or other curriculums, few have done so at an entire college scale spanning both on-campus and online courses or focused on the growth and mentorship of the UGTAs themselves.The goal of the Fulton UGTA program is to provide UGTAs with the motivation to create newvalue in the classroom that wouldn’t otherwise be available and promote the
