interaction of assessment withlearning and teaching. As an integral part, assessment provides an opportunity for teachers and students alike toidentify areas of understanding and misunderstanding. With this knowledge, students andteachers can build on the understanding and seek to transform misunderstanding into significantlearning (N.R.C., 1993). Assessment as ‘learning’ is not a third-party research project orsomeone's questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing, driven by afaculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Narayanan, 2007 & 2009). The author has tried to follow such a philosophy while gathering data for this project. Inthis presentation the author provides some guidelines for

been no attempt previously to understand whether there is anyagreement across BME about what type of computing is important. While many universitiesoffer elective courses in computer programming that can expand students’ knowledge, thepresent project was done to determine the frequency of requiring different types of programmingcourses, and whether generalizations can be made about the state of undergraduate BMEeducation in this respect. Required computer courses for BME students can be assigned toseveral categories: 1) MATLAB, 2) object-oriented programming (e.g. Python, C++), 3)programming of microcontrollers for on board sensing or control of electromechanical devices,4) computer-aided design (CAD), sometimes used in conjunction with
werestereotypes based on the “double bind” of being a woman of color in engineering and leadership[12]. Finally, being unable to be authentic was also prevalent among the students of color in thisstudy. For example, a Latina woman discussed how she tailored her behavior when performingher leadership duties: “The way I converse, definitely a male thing. Because I definitely talk a littlebit differently when I'm with family and people I know very well.” Thus, failing to includeracialized and gendered experiences may overlook factors that can act as stressors on the leadershipexperiences and development of engineering students.AcknowledgementFunding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation under grant EEC-ENG1738132.

The materials are being developed tobe integrated in several courses taken by undergraduate students beginning in freshman year andinclude lecture demonstrations, laboratory exercises and design projects. The development ofthese materials is motivated by the need for engineers well-versed in high-frequency electronics,the desire to cast common concepts learned at the foundation of the curriculum in terms ofpractical engineering applications and to introduce students to one of the many specialties inelectrical engineering.

engineering curriculum has long been recognized.However, students often do not complete a hands-on, comprehensive design project until theirsenior year capstone design course. While this is obviously a very valuable and appropriatelearning experience, students benefit from and desire earlier and more frequent real-world designexperiences12. One reason design experiences are often delayed is that students do not have thetechnical breadth early in their academic careers necessary to complete a comprehensive designproject. While students in the first-year course, Fundamentals of ECE, do not have the breadthand depth to successfully carry out a completely open-ended design project with a level ofsophistication expected from senior students, they do have

These skillsare especially important in hand sketching and computer-aided design (CAD) of engineeringgraphics, when it is necessary to visualize and represent three-dimensional (3D) objects andassemblies. Educators and researchers have developed various types of tests to assess students’abilities in spatial visualization tasks. Conventional visualization tests usually use axonometricdrawings, mostly isometric projections, to represent 3D objects. However, isometric drawingsare dimensionally distorted and lack many features

In particular, the project closely examines parent-childconversation within a range of informal engineering contexts that exist at the intersection ofparents, children, and meaningful STEM learning. In this study we examine a pre-schoolprogram where parents and children can play with engineering-focused toys, a family-orientedengineering event for elementary students and their parents, and an engineering exhibit within ascience museum. This paper focuses on the first setting, the pre-school program where parentsand children play with toys to engage in engineering-related activities.Drawing from the literature on both engineering education and informal science education,video-recordings from 30 daughter-parent dyads are analyzed for

Furthermore, decadesof prior research in education have shown the effectiveness of formative feedback and anauthentic, active, and collaborative environment in promoting student learning. It is in thiscontext that the authors redesigned a class to take advantage of several blended learningapproaches in an effort to provide a higher quality learning environment.The purpose of this project is to implement and assess the impact of integrating blended learningapproaches in a case study based systems design class that faces growing enrollment.

In this project a dedicated, studentcentered, high technology, active learning classroom was developed and used to teach variousclasses in the STEM disciplines, including the fluid mechanics class. Various approaches toimplement active learning in this class, including the use of the technology items available in thededicated classroom, will be explored.The effectiveness
