In order to design such artifacts, engineering faculty must make a seriesof teaching decisions, each of which can impact their students’ learning and engagement withcourse activities. Given the importance of decision-making in engineering education, we hopethat by beginning to characterize engineering educator decisions, educators will gain a greaterawareness of decision-making by recognizing

In addition, they rated each other’snotes and it appeared that this would continue throughout the term. However, as the semesterprogressed, less and less voting was

Instruction modes need to allow studentsto grow as critical thinkers with proficiency in learning, and in creative problemsolving for increasingly complex and uncertain engineering environments.For example, students are shown to learn more effectively when actively involvedin the learning process11, and such active learning strategies promote higher orderthinking. As a result, several non-traditional learning approaches, such as project-,problem-, or case studies-based learning, have been developed and applied inengineering courses.

It is interesting to note that instructionalmaterials not directly related to the design project or homework assignments were rarely used.Although the materials did not need to be delivered in a classroom setting, a choice was made torequire the students to attend a scheduled lab time to use the instructional materials.
