distinct disciplinary patterns2. This research training is central to transformingthe student into a producer of knowledge, so much so that departments design specializedtraining programs to meet the needs of individual disciplines3.The majority of engineering graduate students spend their graduate school years as part of aresearch group4. These groups are generally organized around the research specialty of aprimary advisor, or collaboration between faculty advisors, depending on the size of the researchgroup5. Doctoral students, master’s students and post doctoral researchers work together underthe guidance of these faculty advisors, often in shared laboratory and office spaces6. It’s thisgroup environment where the majority of student learning

), which is a five-year program. For the four-year programs, the total credits required forgraduation range from 129 to 132; 160 credits are required for AE. The programs have scienceand math course sets that are aligned with accreditation requirements. The majority of theremaining credits are engineering science, both inside and outside of the major. All majorsexcept Computer Engineering have a first-year design course, in addition to the capstone designcourse. Chemical Engineering has the greatest number of laboratory courses at five. Theprograms have an emphasis on math, science, and engineering science with a focus on analysis.Thus, they are similar to the common model of U.S. programs described by Sheppard,Macatangay, Colby & Sullivan15

During the second week, they were invited to bring two studentsas part of a teaching laboratory. During this week, the teachers were responsible for teaching themodules to the students in a highly supported environment, surrounded by SENSE IT staff, whowere available to assist with any questions or concerns. This gave the teachers the opportunity toreview the materials, as well as to see how they work with students, thus enabling them to betterprepare for full classroom teaching.The SENSE IT teachers also participated in four full-day professional development workshopsduring the school year.

, helping to minimize any variation in estimation of average response. However,their use in merit, promotion, and other decisions engenders some controversy. Student ratings of courses are not perfectly reflective of student learning. For example,laboratory studies have suggested that while instructor enthusiasm significantly impacts studentratings, it does not much affect student learning. In contrast, lecture content appears to have amuch greater effect on student learning than on ratings. (Abrami, Leventhal, and Perry 1982)And correlations between average ratings and average learning (based on standardized testresults across multiple course sections) generally fall well below 0.5. For example, Cohen’smeta-analysis (1981) deduced that the

paradigm proposed here combines the advantages of laboratory teaching (e.g., hands-on experience) with an effective teaching of scientific methods and problem solving [1]. Ofcourse, a primary benefit of this method is that students play an active role in tackling ab-stract concepts, which have not been traditionally conducive to such participation. Further-more, these exercises result in an improved competency of the students in using spreadsheetsfor engineering purposes, thus preparing them better for their future professional endeav-ors. [1] The novelty of the proposed technique resides in its objective to illustrate abstractconcepts. This is a departure from prior efforts to use spreadsheets, CFD, or software toolssuch as Mathcad in the engineering

LaterMcKeachie says “From the standpoint of theory, the activity of the student, the sensorimotornature of the experience, and the individualization of laboratory instruction should contributepositively to learning.”A note about the lectures required is appropriate; Many Machine Design texts leave one or bothof these labs’ subject areas out of their coverage. Last year, one of this paper’s authors surveyedthe coverage of torsion loads by six common Machine Design Texts. He rated only three of thesix as giving complete torsional coverage, one as giving inadequate partial coverage, and two astotally inadequate

through a transition in higher education for thecreative development and leadership of technology which is beyond the “technology is applied science” paradigm.12As Wulf, president of the National Academy of Engineering, has pointed out, “Engineering is not applied science”— nor are creative engineers applied engineering scientists. Wulf further noted that, “Science is analytic — it strivesto understand nature, what is. Engineering is synthetic — it strives to create what can be.”13Whereas, Bush recognized that the primary responsibility for scientific progress is dependent upon that small bodyof high caliber men and women in the research universities and in the government research laboratories, whounderstand the fundamental laws of nature and are

laboratory projects in the middle years [27]–[29].Engineering teams offer a mode for interdisciplinarity and task delegation so students can finishlarge and complicated projects within the span of a course. What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18].

, several faculties have devised different mechanisms for engaging studentsat the early stage of their entry into the STEM departments. This includes pairing new studentswith their senior college mates at the laboratories to create more directed mentorship and co-research opportunities [41], thus enabling the programs to adapt to the ever-changing WOCSTEM student interests [42], [43].3.0 TheoryIn 2012 Strayhorn conducted a study to explore the experiences of Black males engaged in Blackmale initiatives.
