Relative to students taking other courses in the College ofEngineering, a higher percentage of Applied Computing students are female andunderrepresented minorities (Engineering: 19% female, 22% URM) [10]. The most popularmajor among Applied Computing students is Psychology, followed by Economics and lesscommon majors such as Sociology, Behavioral Science, Communication Studies, and Business.Additionally, the majority of Applied Computing students have limited or no programmingexperience prior to enrolling in the minor.

Participants helping to organizeand take part included students, faculty, administrators, postdoctoral researchers and othersconnected to the world of engineering education. The intention of this week of action (directlyfollowing E-Week) was three fold. First, we aimed to test approaches from social movementsand assess

[4] concluded thatvarious types of learning were effective on the performance scores of students in different stagesof a design problem through the studio process and that there is a shift from the learning thattakes place by experiencing and learning by doing, to learning by reflecting and learning bythinking. Therefore, in producing these two major design projects in the Architectural Designcourse, specifically the students’ own individual designs, the students would have to draw fromtheir learning experiences from their construction and design related courses where applicable.The aforementioned process would necessarily be valid as Oxman [5] notes that ArchitecturalDesign

AbstractBroadly stated, accountability for a regional university is value created versus cost.Value reflects social and economic needs of the community, state, and region. Cost ofcreating value is cost of implementation strategies to achieve institutional goals. The state’shigher education coordinating board, a university board, and faculty senate are proxiesfor engaging community, state, and regional stakeholders in institutional accountability.Complex endogenous and exogenous challenges require an effective means for allocatingresources within the organization, monitoring effectiveness of institutional strategies, and, asnecessary, adapting strategies to ensure institutional accountability.This paper examines these issues and recommends an

Particularly, professional skills such as communication and cultural andglobal adaptability enable future professionals to work on transnational teams.Working effectively with multicultural teams is becoming more relevant. While it is clear thatengineering and construction education has made some change to preparing future professionalsfor working in these complex teams, much more progress toward preparing students as holisticprofessionals is needed [4] to work in an increasingly globalized economies. Students must betaught in such a way that develops not just technical skills, such as math, but also professionalskills, such as creativity and reflection.

Little is known about middle school designers’perspectives on their own communication challenges or their perspectives on peers’communication challenges. Further, few studies report on interventions aimed at improvingyoung students’ ability to negotiate communication challenges during collaborative designsessions.In previous analysis of students’ self-reported data related to communication challenges duringengineering design teams, we found that middle school designers grew in their metacognitiveawareness of their group’s communication patterns across an engineering design-reflect-designprocedure

Theydid, however, emphasize the ways that the abilities they acquired in their engineering education-- namely technical problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork -- werewhat allowed them to succeed as engineers. To the surprise of our current students, the panelistsall agreed that one of the most useful classes they took was public speaking. Recognizing theneed for a broad curriculum that reflects the diversity of skills engineers require, including thosewithin the liberal arts, we have started a new major in General Engineering. In

-directedlearning towards problem-solving. Throughout the problem-solving process, IRE students areengaged with purposefully designed metacognitive reflection activities. The reflection activitiesinclude writing memos centered on their learning and problem-solving strategies utilized whilethe projects are ongoing to completion, and when completed, they write on the processes thathave gone into the projects, including what went well or what could have gone better. Thesewritten memos serve as metacognitive tools [3] that help students to monitor and control theirthinking in the process of attaining desired outcomes—both critical components ofmetacognitive procedural knowledge—and to take stock of what they have learned to helptransfer their newly gained

Still, the majority of currentAR literature reflects the prior point: researchers’ attempts to evaluate and measure studentlearning in AR applications has little basis in learning science or educational literature. Webelieve our guide will add to the literature by designing AR applications within the situatedlearning environment.Situated LearningSituated learning theory is based in the situative conceptual framework and examines howlearners gain knowledge through social contexts and interactions with materials and people.When discussing theory, it is important to understand the nature of knowing and consequentlywhat signifies learning and

In 1949,Shrodes identified four stages of developmental bibliotherapy: 1) identification - where thereader identifies with a character in a story; 2) catharsis - when a reader is able to experience theemotions of the character of the story; 3) insight – a deeper understanding which is achievedthrough reflection on the identification that the reader makes with the characters and situations ofthe story; and 4) universalization - when a reader is able to apply the insights the reader hasgained through reflection to situations they encounter in

Where ideas changed markedly either due to some idiosyncrasy or in response to achange in the lesson plan, I note that.
