There is no doubt that hydraulic fluid power is a maturetechnology, and the new applications present numerous challenges, but it is evident that there aresignificant benefits. Therefore, there is a growing need to have

First Year Engineering student is assigned an advisor that theywill work with throughout their first year.During the spring semester of 2016 we began requiring all first year engineering student tocomplete a five-semester plan before their mandatory meeting with their advisor during theregistration period. Originally we had students upload their plan to Microsoft SharePoint, whichwas not part of our university’s LMS. For the fall 2016 semester we created a section for allentering first year students in Canvas, our LMS. Students already use Canvas for all of theiruniversity courses and therefore are familiar with its design and structure. The benefit of using anLMS is that it allows users to “organize content and multimedia resources into

Moreover, knowledge of fundamental business functions is increasingly importantfor civil engineers.To address these needs, the authors developed a course, Leadership for Engineers, and usedan interactive and highly engaging business simulation, ScrimmageSimTM, to create anactive learning environment where students are placed in leadership positions and arerequired to develop basic business operating plans; execute these plans in the simulation;and reflect on their team’s successes, failures and missed opportunities. The authorspiloted the course during summer 2017 with students majoring in both engineering andbusiness.This paper addresses the development, execution and assessment of this course.

This was a qualitative research study using modifiedlesson study and participant observation. All planned lessons and related activities were videorecorded, and teacher planning sessions were audio recorded. Data was analyzed using open andaxial coding. Findings from this study showed that the preschool teachers’ ability to plan for andimplement specific components of the EDP improved over the course of the six-week study,moving from the researcher having to consistently remind the teachers of the EDP and theteachers unsure about how to include steps, to the teachers being

In its original embodiment, we knew that ourstudents learned a great deal about product-market fit, design, and business models, butthe course lacked content that provided direct learning about the students’ aspirations,professional growth, and career planning. To address this gap, we integrated designthinking about the students’ own lives

Researchersrecognize the critical role that school and district leaders play in implementation of educationalreforms as well as the lack of best-practice STEM education expertise held by school and districtleaders. The program, STEM Integration for Education Leaders (STEMi), was developed by theSTEM Education Center at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to guide school and districtleaders in the process of developing a strategic plan for STEM integration.

noting that teaching a simpler notionalmachine is not enough to assist novices, as there are always layers of abstraction hidden from thelearner. Du Boulay et al.’s plan for instilling a notional machine likely fails because it assumesfact can be assembled into a working mental model. Many novices fail as “[m]ental models areoften not the product of deliberate reasoning; they can be formed intuitively and quiteunconsciously” (Sorva, 2013, p. 8:9). Developing a notional machine seems more like otherprocedural tasks, such as riding a bike. “If you have tried to … teach a child to ride a bike, youwill have been struck by the wordlessness and the diagrammatic impotence of the teachingprocess” (Bruner, 1966b, p. 10).
