A sample itemreads, “It doesn’t matter how hard you work – if you’re not smart, you won’t do well.” All theitems of the scale are listed in the Appendix. Each item of the scale was answered on a six-pointLikert scale (Strongly disagree = 1 to Strongly agree = 6).

It was concluded that service-learning has a highimpact on their ability to learn technical skills and suggest service-learning as an effectivepedagogical tool. Similarly, Dukhan et al.3 studied the effect of service-learning experiences as apedagogy technique to increase social awareness in engineering students. The students wereevaluated using reflective questions that focused on the impact that their projects had on society.Through this study, the authors concluded that through reflective thinking, the humanitarianaspect of the

Just as important, it provides both student andinstructor with feedback regarding student understanding of the concept.Concept Inventories have emerged in many science and engineering fields.4-16 Similarlynumerous studies in physics, chemistry, and biology classrooms have shown that active learningpedagogies that are based on concept questions (ConcepTests) are more effective for studentlearning than traditional lecture.17-27 This project intends to encourage and shift the focus oflearning in chemical

In addition tothe facilitator’s knowledge, the use of outside resources provided research-basedinformation and kept the conversation focused on teaching and how to improve teaching.For example, some of our groups used How Learning Works: Seven Research-BasedPrinciples 10 to foster discussion and keep the group focused on developing their teachingpractice.

In this type of environment students feel that they are important, that their needscan be met, and that others experience joy and satisfaction in helping them get theirneeds met. It is also argued that when the teacher is able to focus on assisting the studentsin meeting their needs, teacher’s own needs get met. In concluding, the author presentshis own reflections based on his experience as an engineering student and a facultymember. The author has a firm conviction that the only professor who belongs in aclassroom is a caring professor.IntroductionA caring faculty understands, encourages and supports students’ individuality and issensitive to students’ needs.

However, even the qualitative analysis can be useful. Outcomes2 and 4 seem to be least addressed. The apparent lack of coverage of Outcome 2 is a reflection Page 24.18.5of the fact that Table 1 only includes the analysis problems; significant coverage of this outcomewas provided by traditional homework problems. The limited coverage of Outcome 4 is notsurprising since developing problems that cross traditional boundaries is not easy. This wasexacerbated in 2013 due

Theyfurther state that design intent should be more comprehensive than shapes and sizes of features,but must encompass consideration of manufacturing methods and relationships between features.A student’s ability to accurately model an object correlates with their ability to visualize andassemble the objects cogently.Zhang and Luo state that CAD illustrates design intent through its history, features, parameters,and constraints16

. They found that the provision of active learning opportunities in TPD made teachers’ useof new classroom practices increase. Fisher, Lapp, Flood, and Moore (2006)21 described a CPDinitiative that guided teachers’ instruction by linking teaching and assessment. After this CPD,teachers improved their knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and they were able to apply whatthey learned from the CPD to improve their students’ learning. Taitelbaum, Mamlok‐Naaman,Carmeli, and Hofstein (2008)22 reported that teachers became more reflective and aware of theirteaching practices after they participated in a CPD program. de Vries, van de Grift, and Jansen(2012)23 explored the link between teachers’ beliefs about learning and teaching and theirparticipation

If an innovation is effective in oneenvironment, developers usually desire to share it with other instructors and institutions to have alarger impact and improve education more broadly. Additionally, funding agencies like theNational Science Foundation require a “broader impact” component in all grant proposals. Oneaspect commonly missing when an innovation is shared is a reflective, evidence-baseddescription of the process as the innovation moves from the home institution to other institutionswith different faculty, different students and a different culture.

behind the approach and methods found in this paper: to succeed inleadership, indeed in life in general, one must be aware of and appreciate what motivates oneselfand others. This requires reflection and answers. Where is your (their) passion? Answering thisquestion is at the heart of Mary Poppins’ insights. When she sings, “A spoonful of sugar helpsthe medicine go down” and says, “in every job that must be done there is an element of fun …”,she is trying to motivate the children to take medicine that, without sugar, would otherwise havea bad taste. She is also making a job fun that the children did not want to do (picking up clothesand clutter). Mary motivates with sugar and fun, rather than raising her voice, behaving harshly,or worse. There

because it fails to value ways ofknowing outside positivist empiricism.Biesta26 further argues that Dewey’s theory of knowing can provide an alternative epistemologyfor education research, because it is not based on a dualism between mind and materiality.Instead of separating the self from the knowable world, Dewey conceived an action-theoreticalframework in which ways of knowing are active – they are ways of doing. Biesta notes that forDewey, knowledge is not prescriptive, and research would not dictate practice: “no conclusion ofscientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art” (19).29 Reflexivity(a practice of reflection that is critical of its own power relations) requires integrating knowledgewith reflection and

IntroductionIn recent years, the College of Engineering at Villanova University has increased its emphasis ongraduate research programs, thereby supplementing its traditional focus on undergraduateeducation. This is reflected in the increase in externally-funded projects, resulting in a pushtowards developing a nationally-recognized graduate program. The Department of MechanicalEngineering has played a key role in this movement, where the number of Ph.D. graduates hasgrown from the program’s inception approximately 10 years ago to an anticipated 9 graduates in2014.One important element of growing a graduate program lies in the recruiting and retention ofquality graduate students.
