inthe program and to collect baseline data on their attitudes towards research and publicengagement. A section of the survey was developed based on a pre-existing instrument by theFINS/RIESS project team [9]. The original instrument was used to examine how post-PhDresearchers view themselves as researchers as well as their feelings towards research and theresearch community [9]. Questions were adapted from this survey to apply to faculty members inour context.Survey questions asked about the researchers’ engagement with research and their currentresearch community. We related these items back to Self-Determination Theory. These questionswere scored on a 7-point Likert-style scale. The researchers were also asked to answer open-ended questions

The work incorporates the four phases of DBR identified byKolmos [3]: design; implementation; data collection and analysis; and findings and conclusions.The DBR phases were adapted and combined with Andriessen’s [4] dual purpose of DBR modelas illustrated in Figure 1. The focus of the program design is progressive refinement through theproblem statement; defining the design and learning objectives; planning (project management)of the curricular design, development of the curricular ideation and selection of a design forinitial implementation; and ultimately a continuously

uncertainty in problem solving. The habits of mind framework used to guidethis study was first published in the Project 2061 initiative led by the American Association forthe Advancement of Science (AAAS) and further developed by the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE). This exploratory work was guided by the following question: What habits ofmind do undergraduate electrical engineering students use when answering conceptualquestions about electric current? The data for this study were student interviews conductedusing a think aloud protocol. The questions on the protocol were aimed at uncovering students’conceptual knowledge and possible misconceptions about basic circuit concepts. The findingsfrom this work can potentially address key questions
then compare their findings to analyticalresults. The lab has a final project involving an experimental modal test and the creation of afinite element model of a structure of the students’ choosing. Students are required to proposeexplanations for the differences in the results from the test and the finite element model.Assessment results show that students have developed a much more sophisticated understandingof analysis and testing as a result of these experiences, and by the end of the course, they useappropriate technical terminology when discussing the differences between test and analyticalresults.BackgroundAccording to the National Research Council report How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience,and School [1], one aspect of effective

In this example, the instructorkeeps the weekly homework assignments as "concept checks” but then develops projects forstudents assessing the higher-order learning outcomes.In the fourth unit, "Learning Activities,” instructors discuss and explore learning activities thatfoster more student-centered learning environments. While the previous unit might be achallenge for some STEM instructors, this unit is the most challenging for all STEM instructors.Instructors struggle with activities that are authentic for student learning within engineering andSTEM courses. It could be logistically restrictive, for example, to have a course in a constructionmanagement class visit a construction

The project begins in a third-yearinstrumentation course when student teams develop a prototype instrument design. During asubsequent computer data acquisition and control course, the students use their prototype withthe addition of an embedded processor (microcontroller) to create a “smart” instrument. Thestudents are given loose specifications for the design of their fluid level probe. The specificationshave enough freedom to allow for creative variation in designs but key factors are tightly definedsuch that the performance of all of the designs can

These exercises are a powerful and effective way to help engineering andarchitecture educators teach spatial visualization.Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphicsclasses present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multipleviews, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Exercises present the objects inincomplete multi-view projections, and ask the students to add missing lines. They use mostlyreal 3D objects that are easily recognizable to help the student correlate 2D with 3D.This new method uses a different approach. Each view of the solid
