engineering students. We targeted industrial engineersbecause of the relatively high gender balance in their student population. The divergentthinking abilities of the students were measured with a two-phase test consisting of thealternate uses task (AUT) and the utopian situations task (UST), with ideational fluency(number of ideas produced) as the critical output measure. Students were asked to completeboth tasks while their electrodermal activity (EDA) was recorded, a biological measure that isthought to reflect engagement. The students’ divergent thinking abilities and electrodermallevels were then compared before and after two forms of feedback: positive and negative(stereotype threat). Results showed that the number of ideas generated was

convergence? ● Third, what are the overall differences and similarities between the KEEN EML framework and convergence?To address the first question, the Convergence Framework of Table 3 was compared to the EMLmindsets and skillsets. A table was created with EML mindsets and skillsets as columns and ourConvergence Framework items as rows. For each row-column combination we rated the“connection” of the two items using a rating value of 0 to 2. Ratings of 0 reflected no connectionbetween column and row items. A rating of 1 indicated a weak, indirect, or supportiveconnection between the two. A rating of 2 indicates a strong connection between the two items;one is required for the other or a vital connection. Each of the three authors conducted

An engineering leadership lab (ELL) where the students met weekly in small teams to face leadership challenges keyed to the “Capabilities of an Effective Leader” [see later in this paper], 2. An engineering leadership class (EL), synchronized to the lab, where the students study the academic background of the leadership areas prior to the related leadership lab, and also discuss and reflect on the lessons learned once the associated lab has taken place. 3. During our brainstorming period, the consensus was clear that an effective engineering leader must have a deep grounding in the technology which s/he

thinking to solve problems, it is important to measure systems thinking abilities.Various measurement and assessment strategies have been proposed to understand thedevelopment of systems thinking skills in engineering graduates and students. A few of theseinclude course-based systems thinking instruction followed by assessment using surveys, fieldreports, reflections, open-ended examinations, quizzes, etc. [4]–[6], [20], [21]. Other strategiesinclude cognitive mapping and concept mapping to explore how visualization techniques can aidthe consideration of multiple dimensions of systems thinking [3], [22]. Another approach, whichwill be the focus of this paper, uses scenario-based assessments of systems thinking skills [1],[2], [19], [23]. Some

An existingjunior mechanical engineering lab course was modified from a set of four pre-defined experimentsto a set of three experiments that provided increasing independence. In the third and finalexperiment, students conducted their own background research, proposed experiments, builtapparatuses, and tested their hypotheses.In general, the changes reflected a transition in the course from passive learning to active learning[2, 9]. Rather than having students passively absorb knowledge and reproduce it by following astep-by-step procedure, the course redesign had them actively pursue experimental knowledge. Inthe first nine weeks of the course, students were gradually trained to become

.* Correspondence: MiguelAndrés Guerra, MAGuerra@usfq.edu.ec.AbstractTraditional exams are widely used to assess students’ acquired knowledge inengineering courses, and although traditional exams have a purpose and a role, it is alsoknown that they bring different levels of stress and anxiety to students, which can resultin an inaccurate reflection of students’ knowledge or even poor performance. Althoughresearch shows this type of exam may not be adequate for all types of students, little isknown about how to improve traditional exam assessment experiences. This pilot studyaims to design an intervention—a coffee break during an exam—to help reducestudents’ stress and anxiety levels and improve their exam performance.

users are more likely to get useful results from theirPIV analysis based on their understanding of PIV algorithms and digital imaging parameters.Usually, this understanding is gained through several years of education and practice using PIV.For example, image background noise (i.e., leaving objects which appear in the imagebackground, allowing reflected light into the images, etc.) frequently leads to poor PIV images,and potentially inaccurate or even physically meaningless vector fields. An experienced PIV userunderstands this as the fact that substantial image background noise reduces the likelihood of thePIV algorithms finding a valid correlation peak. Lacking this knowledge, novice PIV users mayachieve poor PIV results due to the allowance
