This should bedone about three years earlier in our curriculum! I definitely think that more time should bespent on technical report writing. It was helpful look for mistakes in other students’ papers tounderstand the importance of clear writing, as well as to see other ways of approaching theproblem solution.

Additionally there are several team lead workshops (10)designed to develop team management skills for the whole class (group decision making,presentations, conflict resolution, meeting management, and project planning and scheduling,etc.).

These students group reported that theirexpectations were challenged when they were required to ask and answer questions in class forparticipation points. Because the questions were very focused on class sessions, the focus groupsdid not identify any new types of resistance. The participants at Site B reported that some students reacted by verbally communicatingdiscomfort with their peers (soliciting agreement and validation for their perceptions) and bydropping the course, perhaps with the intention of retaking it in another term or with anotherinstructor that did not require as much active participation. It is important to note that askingstudents how others reacted was
and authentic, the belief thateach member brings different and potentially useful information to the task, and theopportunity to iterate design ideas over time. Framing agency provides a lens forunderstanding the kinds of design learning experiences students need to direct their ownlearning and negotiate that learning with peers in design projects.IntroductionManaging design projects in undergraduate coursework is challenging, in large partbecause design problems are ill-structured, meaning there are many possible solutionsand framings of any design problem [2]. As engineering programs have increasinglyincorporated design challenges into first year and core courses, faculty must makedifficult decisions about feasibly managing design

While there aremany types of accommodations that can help an LD student, one common characteristic most allLD students have is that they require more time to assimilate any newly presented material. Thiscan present a problem if the active learning activity is immediately following the lecture. Forexample, the minute paper activity requires the student to write on the topic just covered for oneminute. Then present or otherwise submit the writing perhaps for a grade. A learning disabledstudent may not be able to acquire sufficient knowledge from the lecture part, in the time given,to be in a position to write such a piece. Furthermore, the process of writing itself may presentadditional problems as many types of learning disabilities
of designing solutions for ill-structured problems [2]. Wewanted to understand this reflection-in-action component. Like the “water” that the fish swimthrough in Wallace’s story, we see parallels to the ways in which our design students navigatethe design processes they engage in. Here, questioning “what the hell is water?” is a moment ofreflection-in-action. Schön writes that professional practitioners often consider their actionswhile they are doing them and states that they ask questions like “‘What features do I noticewhen I recognize this thing? What are the criteria by which I make this judgment? Whatprocedures am I enacting when I perform this skill? How am I framing the problem that I amtrying to solve?’” (pg 50).Our goal for our
), specifically supported five of the 14 outcomes: a, b, e, g, andk. The assessment tools comprised prelab homework, exams, an experimental design project,written reports, oral presentations and team/peer evaluation. The senior capstone design course,taken in addition to ME Lab, accounted for another seven outcomes. It was decided by thefaculty that one or two courses are not sufficient to demonstrate the necessary assessment of theprogram outcomes. There were several outcomes, though, which made more sense to beassessed by a laboratory course. For instance, all accredited engineering programs must have acomponent of experimental design in their curriculum. ABET Criterion 3b states “Engineering
meaningful to communicative, i.e., independent comprehension. With respect to writing, current pedagogical trends take the emphasis off the final product, seen only by the instructor (a dependency), and places it on the student and their peers (independence). The emphasis in writing is on the process or development of the piece, whereby the student controls the various versions, not the instructor. Page 25.139.8 4.

And anytime you kind of like make a small error it's really easy to see what other students are doing too, and it's easy to correct your errors being able to see what your peers are doing. So it makes sense.” “I'd also say [groupwork] was helpful. I guess, getting to know more students. Because otherwise you're just sitting in the lecture and not really talking to each other. So it was a good way for us to

Children in K-12 learn about the world through firsthearing stories, then reading stories, writing stories and telling stories. In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom. A teacher may relay astory they have read or heard to emphasize a point, encourage students to tell their ownexperiences that relate to a lecture subject, create a hypothetical story to encourage deeperthinking of a concept or share
