Program AssessmentOne of our programmatic concerns was to develop pedagogical practices that were best suited tothe needs of students we aimed to attract. In order to monitor the impact of our efforts, wedesigned surveys and conducted focus groups to gather students’ feedback about the courses andthe ACBSS program in general. In this section, we briefly report assessment results including(1) surveys completed by ENGR 120 students at the end the of Fall 2016 and 2017 semesters, (2)focus group results conducted by an external evaluator for ENGR 121 in Spring 2017, and (3)focus group results for ENGR 122 in Fall 2017.In addition to

These themesare mapped out to design an instructional scaffolding strategy model.More effective pedagogical practices to improve engineering students’ knowledge constructionin online learning have been the subject of much argument from researchers and deserve furtherinvestigation. It is important to understand the design process of an instructional scaffoldingstrategy. Designing instructional scaffolding strategies as a platform for metacognitivescaffolding approaches can help instructors to improve engineering graduates’ knowledgeconstruction in terms of higher order thinking.Keywords: Instructional scaffolding, knowledge construction, online learning1.0 INTRODUCTIONThere have been numerous technological

(i.e., searching for the heroic leader [6]). Recent work by Goleman [7]described knowledge of self, and its companion, self-control, as two of the four domains thatmake up Emotional Intelligence.While emotional intelligence also deals with social awareness and relationship management,other researchers have developed approaches specifically focused on how the leader connects tofollowers and motivates them to do their best. These approaches include leader-memberexchange [8], situational leadership [9], resonant leadership [10], servant leadership [11],transformational leadership [12], and path-goal [13].In leadership literature, leading a cause is a process defined by the technical requirements of aproject as well as the political (regulatory

essential skills for becoming an impactful, well-rounded engineer [14], educators arejust beginning to experiment with and share their techniques and frameworks for better educatingstudents in this skill to help fill the gap.Empathy is very much a learnable skill, so the lack of educational frameworks may be due morein part to the newness of the concept, rather than the difficulty in teaching it. In fact, teachingempathy has been a key aspect of educating social workers for many years [15].When specifically looking to implement empathy-building exercises into design and engineeringeducation, Reimer recommends a variety of techniques, including implementing elements ofself- and context-awareness, decision-making and action planning, research and

approaches,and negotiate with their peers on the best way forward [7]. Collaborative problem solving alsopermits the opportunity for peer-coaching, which may synergistically lead to deeper, moreinnovative learning for both the tutor and the tutored than classroom instruction and individualproblem sets alone. Practicing engineering learning in this way prepares a student to integratewith real-world teams and work to solve complex, multi-faceted problems upon graduation. However, the incorporation of digital technology in the classroom is not enough to keepcollege education relevant in the long-term to digital natives and the increasingly-digital society.Nor is collaborative problem solving a triple win for the digital native student, the school
Activities or SolidWorks in the course?While not unanimous the clear majority of the students agreed that the hands-on activities werebeneficial for their learning (see Figure 1 for results). It was interesting to see that a significantnumber of students listed the engineering design project (EDP), SolidWorks and other classdemonstrations as the best hands on activities, even though we had not initially thought of themas hands-on activities. The EDP and SolidWorks were major components of the course redesignand some of the students clearly appreciated getting to work with them in this course. The EDPespecially seems to have had a favorable impact on students’ views of the course as they felt ithad real world application and allowed them to do a

the ability to conduct research are needed. The majority of tenure-trackfaculty jobs include duties related to teaching, research, mentoring and service. A 2001 surveyby Golde and Dore noted that noted 82% of the graduate student respondents identifiedenjoyment of teaching as being what attracted them to academia as a career [16]. However, 52%of the respondents indicated that they did not learn about teaching during their graduate studies.These results along with other factors have led to pleas for national educational councils [17],[18] to improve undergraduate STEM teaching. The implication is that by improving training inteaching, the number, diversity, and quality of STEM graduates would increase.Goals and approachThe specific goals of
