ERSP runs during the full academic year starting with thefall semester. In the first half of the program, students learn basic research skills that are commonacross CS and they develop a research proposal as a team. In the second half of the program,students work on the research project proposed and are directly supervised by a faculty orgraduate student research mentor. This design offloads some of the research training that facultymay have to do with undergraduate students new to their research lab.ERSP is structured using a cohort-model so that

This skill isrepresentative of what is expected by software development organizations but is one that isdifficult to include as a learning objective in a traditional lecture-based course. The collection oftechnologies that the authors have chosen to use for this course are not presented as the only onesto be used in IoT development; rather, students are provided with a basis in the underlyingtechnical infrastructure and recognize that the particular choices are simply representative.The course is delivered using a combination of Lectures and hands-on Project Assignments,similar to other Project-Based Learning courses [14][15].

Morebroadly, even less is known about how first-year experiences differ for students from regionalcampuses or for students who transfer institutions. This project aims to better understand how thefirst-year experiences of students from various pathways affect their development across theircollege career through a series of first-year surveys and longitudinal interviews. We specificallyfocus on students’ engineering communities and engineering identities using Wenger’sconceptualization of Communities of Practice as our theoretical lens [1].For this work, engineering

STEM graduate students oftenlack the formal communication training needed to easily share their work with the generalpublic. Conveying research through a narrative structure with appropriate language and tone foreach audience greatly assists in the understanding of science and its appeal to a broad audience,not just to experts in similar fields (Mooney, 125). Although the scientific community agrees thattraining in oral communication skills will benefit our future colleagues, relatively little emphasisis placed on this training, and the research in this area is lacking (“Rising Above..”, 168).This project described

Also, recent advances in technology andin ideology have unlocked entirely new directions for education research. At the center ofthis discussion is the flipped classroom. This paper presents an ongoing study on how tointegrate MOOC courses with an on campus course, adopting both the flipped classroomand self-directed learning paradigms. The authors created and recorded four courses, 2DCAD, 2D CAD project, 3D CAD and 3D CAD project, on Coursera, a popular MOOCplatform.

At ColumbiaUniversity, we have an established program for teaching biomedical design to undergraduateswhich culminates in our capstone ‘Senior Design’ course. However, no specified designexperience exists for terminal degree BME Master’s students. Design courses are traditionallytaught utilizing a textbook, lectures, and a team design project, with often limited time forinteractions between and among teams and instructors in the classroom. We also recognized thatthe background and educational and professional goals of undergraduates and graduate studentsare unique. Therefore, we saw a valuable opportunity to
social responsibility of engineering (Harris Jr.,2008; Zandvoort et al., 2013). Many have championed a new paradigm for engineeringeducation that integrates strong, technical knowledge with real-world economic, ethical, social,and environmental concerns (Harris Jr., 2008;Volkwein, Lattuca, Terenzini, Strauss, &Sukhbaatar, 2004). Team-based projects and multidisciplinary applications that requirecollaboration with non-engineering students were also recommended (Volkwein et al., 2004).As engineering education moves to engage with the social context of engineering and the socialresponsibilities of engineers, it must focus on the way that students understand engineering ethicsand on whether and how engineering ethics will influence their
