The classculminates in an open-ended design project in which the student proposes a system that uses amicrocontroller to accomplish a useful task. While open-ended “capstone” design projects are amainstay of engineering curricula, first-year “cornerstone” projects that introduce the designprocess to novice engineering students have recently become more prominent (Sheppard et al.,2009, pp. 84, 91; Vest, 2005; Whitfield et al., 2011; Zajdel & Maharbiz, 2016b). We propose thatsuch design experiences would be impactful to non-major students’ technical education as well.Students outside of the engineering disciplines can develop these technical

easilyaccessible, creativity lectures by faculty can be complemented by AUT-based assignments wherestudents can also evaluate their responses – as a team or individually. Similar in-classassignments or creativity tasks in laboratory conditions can also be rapidly and robustlyevaluated, accelerating research outputs in this domain. As shown herein, SemDis resultsconsistently mimic human’s comprehension, identification and rating of distance across words.Although further studies are needed to enhance the sample size, and to further diversifyparticipant groups and the set of object names used (engineering vs. common or lay), the presentstudy provides evidence that warrants the continued development of SemDis and supports theuse of such automated methods for

In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering education in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr

For those working in academia, workshifted away from research and teaching activities involving face-to-face interactions withstudents and colleagues or access to specialized facilities/laboratories in order to conduct theirwork. The burden of transitioning work to a fully online environment led to respondentsreporting that the pandemic shifted the focus of their work away from research/writing

Many studentsalso reported learning that research can lead to a range of careers in academia or industry(including entrepreneurial ventures). A few students talked about being surprised thatundergraduates had enough background to be able to contribute to research, and more expressedsurprise that concepts they were learning in second-year are used in research. A number ofstudents indicated that they were now considering research as a career (while a few mentionedthat they were now more certain that research was something they did not want to engage in).For the 2019-20 third-year laboratory course, 18 students completed both pre- and post

at theundergraduate level: civil engineering and architecture. In contrast, at a global scale, there arethree majors related to the conception of infrastructure: architecture, civil engineering andconstruction engineering/management with more than 20 areas of specialization. In Ecuador,civil engineering students may share their faculty with other engineers, while architecturestudents may fall under the faculty of arts, history, and design.Throughout each major, there are different ways to develop activities that require group orindividual assignments. Knowing these methods is relevant to understand how collaborativework is fostered. In the first semesters of civil engineering at USFQ, in some activities and inalmost all laboratories

The assembly line was designed to have seven (7) stations based onthese factors. The line was designed to produce two models (Sports Car and Airplane) from aLEGO creator 3 in 1 product, making it a mixed-model production line.

]. Bakırcı & Karışan [8] found that math PSThad lower STEM awareness than science and primary PST teachers. Many teach how theylearned within traditional settings [9]. PSTs can feel intimidated and overwhelmed whenincorporating engineering design or STEM [10], and need more help creating interdisciplinaryideas when un-siloing STEM content [11]. Katehi et al. [4] suggest that for teachers to teachengineering confidently, they must either have a STEM background or partner with someonewho does.PST education programs have a variety of methods to integrate STEM and Engineering into theircourse work. Some have a specific university course where PSTs learn about STEM and visitSTEM laboratories within the university [12] [13]. Others have a design

addition, tracking student gestures during laboratory work and explanationscan also reveal when students are in transitional knowledge states and are highly receptive tonew instruction. In particular, discordant gestures indicate a students’ heightened readiness tolearn [21] and can signal opportunities for instructors to enhance the learning experience.Gestures also reveal the importance of eliciting and cultivating embodied learning experiencesfor students. Highly math-centric approaches to engineering education do little to engage thepowerful and flexible resources for grounding and embodied simulation that are available to alllearners.Finally, this study has several limitations. The sample of size of this pilot study is small and thestudents
syllabus isuniform with standardized lesson objectives. Teams of instructors within each academic term areresponsible for developing homework assignments, exams, laboratory exercises, design projects,and in-class problems under the supervision of a course director. The course director schedulesperiodic lesson conferences for the MC311 team to assess course progress and to map outupcoming activities. It is both efficient and effective to work together to provide the best learningexperience.Retraining ApproachThe road to mastery in any field of human endeavor assumes a unique path based on theindividual.
