. Shirley Ann Jackson [4] noted that “[s]ince that time, there has beencontinuing concern that engineering education does not sufficiently incorporate liberal studies…As engineering and the technological revolution continue to transform our world, we must assurethat those who steer these changes understand the totality of the human condition, and that bringsus back to the liberal arts.” The chorus of calls for change has included soul-searching reportssuch as that by Grinter (1955) [5], which was soon overwhelmed by the urgency of Sputnik andthe Space Race insisting on the primacy of purely technical competence, and Olmsted [6].Olmsted’s 1968 ASEE Report Liberal Learning for the Engineer praised a few exemplarystudent-driven, socially
. This would reduce institutionalbias, especially if the grading is done through a ‘double-blind’ process. Additionally, responsesfrom all participating institutions can be reviewed by a single (or small group of) ‘knowledgeexpert(s)’ who are not implementing the instrument at their own institution. This latter strategyplaces a higher level of consistency in grading and providing increased reliability in theinterpretation of results, though they may come from variable sources.In undergraduate geotechnical engineering courses, future research may be needed on bias andprecision in instructor grading on high-stakes assessments such as examinations. Ultimately, thegoal is to work towards reducing bias and increasing precision in instructor grading
questionnaire questionsPresentation Questionnaire1. Instructor explanations were clear and carefully explained.2. The instructor(s) was knowledgeable in the subject matter.3. The use of a "roaming" lecturer helped me learn the software.4. This topic is very important to my career.5. I preferred the use of peer teachers to learn Microsoft Project.5. Results and AnalysisData collected from the pre and post questionnaires show that there was a large increasein preference of peer teaching over more traditional learning. In general all questionsdemonstrated an improvement after the intervention of the peer teaching methodology.Table 3 and Figure 1 summarize the results of the teaching group pre and postquestionnaire

with member(s) who had completed themodule and incorporated a microcontroller board into their design was also compared to the restof the class by comparing average final project scores. Final project scores for the RubeGoldberg machines were assigned based on performance, complexity, and professionalappearance. The performance score was based on how well the task was carried out and includedpoints for the precision of the device’s timing and for successfully completing the final step(unlocking the door). Project complexity was assessed by counting the number of different stepsin the process from device activation to the door being unlocked. Finally, projects were expectedto be professional in appearance with the team’s name, logo, and theme

). Rubrics are oriented toward performance ofthe required work, but not necessarily quality or depth of that work; that is, a reflective essay thatexhibits shallow or misdirected learning can be as equally valid for course completion as one thatshows a career-changing experience. The key concern is for authentic and conscientious work onthe deliverables; this is an important course characteristic in light of the varying quality of HILPmentoring and experiences outside the control of the academic faculty. Deliverables deemedunsatisfactory are returned to the student with a one-week opportunity for a single revision. If allthree deliverables (including revisions) are satisfactory, the student receives a grade of “pass.” Ifunsatisfactory deliverable(s

- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate. Toprovide a low-cost and scalable approach to

Asimilar pattern appears for S7, whose essays were nearly all classified as Week 3, suggesting thatthere was very little change in what this student was reporting across the homework essays.Basically, the algorithm could not detect significant shifts in the content of that student’s essays.Table 1.

twosentences that the intention is to ‘understand how a steel, circular bar, loaded under torsion,behaves until failure.’For the second section of improvement, the preceding lab manual mostly contained experimentalprocedures in paragraph format, as shown in Figure 2, which made it difficult for students to followand understand. Thus, the authors decided to reformat the procedures in a numbering, hierarchicalscheme such that each step would be followed accordingly (Figure 3). This modificationeliminated the need of having to search in multiple paragraphs for necessary information anddeciding what to implement. In addition, the revised manual specified exactly the type of table(s)needed for recording experimental data. This allowed students to include

established by the United Nations in 2015.Students had to identify a firm on which to base their project, and then determine which of the17 goals would be most relevant and appropriate for their firm to support, based on its context.This was intentionally open-ended, and could include, for example, the firm’s environmental,social, and economic impacts, sphere of influence, stakeholder interests, and how the firmcould affect or be affected by the issue(s) related to each goal. Students worked in small teams to identify and contextualize the problem associatedwith the selected goal, and then to develop a set of proposed objectives, targets, and actionsfor the firm to contribute to the global goal over the next five years, and present the
semester ifthey plan to work in the vacuum industry or to enhance their skillset in this area. However, theonly way vacuum course(s) can currently be incorporated into the EET program is as technicalelective course(s) taken during the fourth semester. A result of this mis-alignment in sequencingbetween institutions was that some parts of the Introduction to Vacuum Technology course weretoo rudimentary for fourth semester students. As a result, the EET department has since maderevisions to the program that allow for one technical elective course during the third semester.This will allow students to take the introductory vacuum course during third semester and one ortwo advanced vacuum courses during the fourth semester. This will also allow for the
