A Systematized Literature Review of Scholarship on Ethical Development and Perspective-taking in Engineering Students Brooks M. Leftwich* Purdue University bleftwic@purdue.eduAbstractThis report is a systematized literature review of published journal articles about frameworks,models, theories, and approaches that support one’s ethical development with a focus onperspective-taking as an integral part of that experience. Ethical development is essential toengineering students because the decisions they make – whether good or bad, right, or wrong –impact individuals, communities, the environment, and even the world
their paper citing the changes made to the way graduate students are evaluated for admissions. She also serves as the Associate Director for the $18M Center of Emergent Materials and is Co-PI and Consortium Director of the $40M Air Force Research Laboratory Minority Serving Institution Consortium agreement. Dr. Stiner-Jones received her Bachelor’s and PhD. degrees from Wright State University and her MBA from Capital University. After completing her PhD in Biomedical Sciences, she completed postdocs, in neuroimmunology and psychoneuroimmunology at Ohio State. Her area of expertise is the impacts of psychological stress on the immune response. Her work has been published in numerous scientific journals and
], so having students reflect on their confidence right after an assessment question instead ofafter seeing their performance could improve calibration.Open Learner models (OLMs), individual learner models shared with learners, have been shownto facilitate self-regulated learning, but not enough literature points to the use of OLMs infacilitating student calibration. One of the most used features in OLMs is comparison, which hasbeen shown to increase the learner’s motivation and engagement [16]. OLMs can be combinedwith a variety of visualization tools. A learner can reflect on their own understanding of coursecontent by seeing what concepts they are underperforming, possibly through multiple assessments.A learner can also understand how
, Cummins Inc. developed the“Cummins Powers Women” initiative in 2018. Through this initiative, Cummins has partneredwith non-profits from around the world such as Girls Inc. in North America and RISE UP in SouthAmerica, Africa and Asia to establish programs focused on teaching and mentoring young womenand girls, encouraging entrepreneurship and providing leadership training. One such program isthe “A World in Motion” (AWIM) after-school STEM Curriculum that Cummins employees havedeveloped for Kindergarteners to 4th Graders in collaboration with the Society of AutomotiveEngineers (SAE) and our community partner Girls Inc. of Johnson County. Through this after-school Project-based Learning (PBL) program, we aim to inspire young female students
during normal class time under the guidance of the instructor, eachstudent has a specific role to play such as manager, notetaker and researcher. These roles can helpprepare students for roles they will fill at various points in their careers when working on project teams.Among the process-oriented skills POGIL is designed to promote are: oral and written communication,teamwork, information processing, critical thinking, problem-solving, management, and assessment. 4However, it is the mastery of content that has been the primary motivation for implementing POGIL.What is now known as POGIL was started by Franklin & Marshall College Chemistry professor RichardMoog in the early 1990s. He was frustrated by the lack of success of so many of his
communities, increase student self-esteem,reduce student learning anxiety, and promote critical thinking skills, among other benefits (Laal& Ghodsi, 2011; Johnson & Johnson, 1989; Pantiz, 1999). CL is often a key component oftransdisciplinary learning, a method of engaging students with peers outside of their discipline.Transdisciplinary learning creates collaborations between education and society whileemphasizing knowledge integration and joint problem definition for students (Biberhofer &Rammel, 2017). Transdisciplinary learning is produced from the outcome of interdisciplinarywork, pushing individuals to go beyond simply working and communicating with those fromother disciplines to the point that the acquisition of knowledge and
learning [4]. Teachers' competencies need to rise to the need above the knowledge of thesubject matters but develop flexibility and mastery of remote learning, where digital interactivityhas become the primary way to communicate with their students.[5]This need for adaptation required a review about promoting the remote learning practices oflaboratories and other types of hands-on activities. The process to adapt in-person laboratories toremote laboratories requires attention to the design of both the pedagogy and thetechnological/delivery infrastructure and how these elements interact. [6]. According to Gamageet al., 2020 [7], the majority of the laboratory classes are performed in the actual laboratory, notaccessible at the time of the pandemic
-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 36054This paper will describe the peer mentorship program at Anderson University, provide aframework for assessing the impact of mentorship on the areas of community connection,retention, and student academic success. This framework aims to measure results pertaining tothe specific research questions described in the abstract but restated here: RQ1: Do students feel that peer mentorship was valuable in connecting to the engineering program and community? RQ2: Does peer mentorship lead to better retention outcomes? RQ3: Does technical mentorship by upper-level engineering students promote greater academic success?Peer Mentorship ImplementationIn this study, peer
videos made anduploaded by YouTube users.The teaching assistants were mostly undergraduate/graduate engineering majors. We had a goodmix of students, including those that identified themselves as women/men and also African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian. This mix was vital to impress the girls thatengineering is pursued by people of all races/sexes. Since one assistant was linked to a group ofstudents for the entire duration of the camp, there were interactions beyond the content of thecamps that included how/what/why these assistants took on engineering careers. We believe thatthis aspect of our camp may influence the girls to consider STEM careers.To maintain high levels of engagment and attendance, the girls were promized
Paper ID #36099Manufacturing a DC Power Supply with Internet of Things (IoT) ControlDashboard for Embedded Systems EducationDr. Tom M Lucas, Purdue University Dr. Lucas’ primary goal as a professor is to engage with students in the classroom and inspire them to develop their passion, understanding, and appreciation for STEM-based research and industry roles. This is accomplished by providing well-crafted and innovative learning experiences in engineering tech- nology courses and through extracurricular outreach. His research background is in 3D (out-of-plane) micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor and actuator design
