But at the end of my first year my ideal position turned into the president of a university. It was like, “Go, broke, or go home.” When it comes to the initial purpose and the drive. I still have that, because I remember when we started the program they asked for a little bio, for them to post on Twitter. They were like, “Oh, just tell us about yourself, and why you decided to pursue a PhD program with us.” And I wrote that I want people to have that “Ah-ha!” moment.

and expectations of their discipline.However, with regards to professional training in engineering that was independent of thedisciplines, EC 2000’s architects defined a separate set of “student outcomes” that focusedprimarily on the professional skill sets--teamwork, communication, professional and ethicalresponsibility, designing systems that met social, political, and economic constraints, acommitment to lifelong learning, etc…--that were consistent with the “desired attributes” of anengineering graduate in the post-Cold War era. In its practical implementation, these becameCriterion 3 (student outcomes) and Criterion 4 (in the original version, now Criterion 5(curriculum)).This was an arrangement that recognized that the expansion in

Reflectivethinking is an increasingly necessary skill in the complex work of engineers, who need toconsider various contextual factors such as local, social issues, environmental impacts, andsustainable, long-term outcomes when addressing multifaceted problems of global significance.The training of engineers has traditionally focused on technical rationality at the expense ofpreparing students for the complexity of professional practice in the real-world (Schön, 1983,1987). Our premise, consistent with Eisner (1986) and Bertram (2019), is that incorporating thearts and humanities into the engineering curriculum will facilitate and

However, this is dependent on the formation ofeffective student teams which may involve more thought on the part of the instructor. There are limitations of the active learning implementation method and this assessmentstudy that should be noted. Specifically, the addition of in-class collaborative learning activitieswithout any out-of-class videos to offset instructional content necessitated a slight reduction inthe level of detail covered during lectures. Due to the structure of the curriculum in the School ofBiomedical Engineering, this reduction is not expected to have any effect on future studentsuccess in the program

These courseswere offered at the Missouri University of Science and Technology and through MissouriOnline distance education. The primary audience included students of environmentalengineering as well as students of civil engineering and architectural engineering andstudents of nursing. The module included an overview of community engagement,gathering community information, co-identification of a problem and a solution, andtesting the solution.While many forms of community engagement often aim to unearth problems and co-design solutions in a partnership between the researcher/scholar and

During the program period, the students work on sensor and processor selectionand integration, algorithm development, flight testing, data collection, data processing, andvalidation. The students are highly encouraged to present their work during student andprofessional conferences. All this provides an intensive research environment where thestudents learn, by means of hands-on learning, state-of-the-art in UAV technologies. Thestudents also attend weekly research seminars held at Cal Poly Pomona. Often times, theundergraduate students work with graduate students. The students attend a weekly meeting withthe research supervisor.The projects usually address or try to address the problems that the

Thesepresentations were designed to provide a background on some of the broadening participationchallenges we were interested in addressing. In addition, since many of the attendees wereinvolved in informal learning, examples of results from two large initiatives were provided. Thepre-workshop survey indicated that almost 60% of workshop attendees were new to networkedimprovement communities, thus they were provided with some webinars that were developed forNSF INCLUDES Launch Pilots (www.includescenter.org).Once at the workshop, participants spent time developing a preliminary driver diagram (Figure2) and defining next steps for the NIC.

They chose the third formof scaffolding approach, and the results showed that scaffolding (and the other methods theystudied) have an effect on student performance in the class currently taken and in the followingclasses. One of the recommendations of the study was to encourage faculty to use scaffolding intheir classroom instruction. Girgis used scaffolding for teaching the techniques of problemsolving to underrepresented minority students. 9 Using the second approach, he conducted a one-week case study in three sessions with increasing complexity, and structured guidancethroughout the sessions. His study showed notable progress in students’ problem solving skillsand received positive feedback from the

In essence, by leveraging an awareness of students' beliefs,faculty can create an environment that not only imparts knowledge but also cultivates theessential skill of critical thinking, empowering students to approach learning with a discerningand analytical mindset.Adapting Curriculum. Faculty's awareness of students' prior knowledge and beliefs is pivotal intailoring curriculum and course materials to enhance the overall learning experience. Byunderstanding the diverse backgrounds and perspectives students bring to the classroom,educators can make informed adjustments to the

For STEM students, the growing needfor enhanced communication and interactions on SMPs makes it necessary to integrate onlinesocial networks into the classroom in a more accessible way, thus enhancing the traditionallearning environment [23, 29]. Mentoring in an online setting poses many difficulties eventhough online engagement offers different expected benefits. The potential interference ofincluding SMPs in the classroom is one of the main issues [30]. Another study exhibited thatover thirty

Riddle Aeronautical UniversityKatrina Robertson, Embry Riddle Aeronautical UniversityTrey Talko, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Small Shifts: New Methods for Improving Communication Experiences for Women in Early Engineering Courses Abstract: This paper outlines methods and initial data from an educational intervention based on previous research published at ASEE. Students in introductory engineering courses face challenges communicating and integrating their ideas in team projects. Often these challenges with team communication fall along gendered lines, where women students experience marginalization in team settings. This paper builds from previous research in the field of engineering education which integrated
mentioned areas that allowed opportunities to be inclusive. Inside theclassroom, there were opportunities to create an inclusive environment by how the educatorsinteracted with students and how they conducted themselves when students were present andteaching was in action. Finally, educators also talked about what things they thought about orconsidered (mindsets), similar to Integrity of practice, in that educators had a reason for theirpractices [4] when doing any preparation or working with students. Practices are found in Table1 with the following codes: ● CS- Inside Classroom- with Students ● CE- Inside Classroom- by Educators ● OC- Outside the Classroom ● IP- Integrity

Although shortlaboratory reports and two presentations were required and graded, there was not explicitinstruction or feedback given on writing. Instead, a majority of the focus of technicalcommunication instruction was on developing clear and well formatted plots and tables.Integrating an additional writing assignment explicitly designed with a revision process couldgive students an idea of what college level scientific writing looks like.Section Lecture/Activity Excel + Computer Math Laboratory
