computational engineering courses, such as thetraditional lecture and the flipped classroom, and have aspects of a hybrid approach of these twotechniques.In a traditional engineering lecture, the instructor typically transfers written notes to a physicalsurface (whiteboard), or projects them on a screen using physical transparencies or a tabletcomputer. This method of content delivery is generally characterized by limited interactionbetween the lecturer and the students; the content tends to be presented in a linear andchronological manner. Students typically do not practice the art of note-taking, as they would fora history or literature course, which requires active listening and the ability to synthesizeinformation and identify major topics and

How do choice opportunities in EnvE compare to chemical and civil engineering degrees? b. How do choice opportunities in EnvE compare to non-engineering degrees in chemistry, math, and physics?(2) What is the balance of required technical and non-technical courses in top

AssessmentMany of the activities presented in this MOOC were directed at students’ personal growth,while others focused on the mastery of core principles. As a result, a strong emphasis wasplaced on students’ personal learning paths and on building meaningful insights through theexercises and projects rather than accumulating “right or wrong” answers. A task list wasdefined for those students interested in earning a course Statement of Accomplishment thatincluded the completion of 5 of the 6 weekly assignments. To complete a Statement ofAccomplishment with Distinction, students had to fulfill all these requirements and alsocomplete at least 2 peer reviews of other students’ work for each submitted assignment.2.6 Weekly AssignmentsThe six creative

. This is the researcher’s next planned step in the data review process. Lastly, futureinvestigations should provide a more in-depth analysis of the reflective comments presentedfrom the reviewer to gauge the ability of the reviewer to provide feedback to fellow students inorder to ascertain levels of equivalence of review. These are planned future projects ofinvestigation for follow-up. References1. Søndergaard, H., & Mulder, R. A. (2012).

learning can take on many forms – from traditional tests and quizzes towritten laboratory reports, research papers, projects, etc. The focus of this paper will be toprovide a discussion about ways to incorporate writing into the curriculum as well as to providesome examples of how writing-based tools can be used to assess student learning. To this end,the use of rubrics can be very worthwhile for both the students and the instructor. As Spurlin hasindicated and modeled, the use of carefully crafted rubrics can be a useful way to demonstratethat students have met the criterion whether the communication is through either written or oralform3. In addition, the use of a carefully crafted rubric can help reduce the overall time neededto grade a

tocommunicate complex and relatively open-ended meanings.Before class began, Wylie would project a PowerPoint slide of 2-4 cartoons relevant to the day’stopic, much as Cheesman (2006) describes.5 As students arrived, they would read the slide andoften react, with a smile or a groan or a look of confusion. To start class, Wylie would ask theclass about each comic, “What is this author’s message?”, “How do you know?”, “Why is itfunny? Or why is it not funny?”. She was surprised at the variety of interpretations, whichthankfully made for interesting discussions and even debates about a cartoon’s meaning. Forexample, Wylie showed this image on the first day of the large introductory class, to introducethe idea of the interactions between science

In another approach, many published curricula feature asubstantial amount of scaffolding, including task-specific fill-in worksheets and prescribedexperiments (e.g., Engineering is Elementary, Cunningham, 2009; Learning by Design, Kolodneret al., 2003; Project Lead the Way, 2014). Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering reporton K-12 Engineering Education, based on its investigation of literature and curricula, warns:“Although it may be tempting to allow students to direct their modeling themselves, thesuccessful interventions reviewed here highlight the importance of the teacher
