The unstandardizedcoefficient, B=.629, suggests that for every one unit increase in engineering speak, studentswould experience a .629 unit increase in conceptual

Allsessions are both theoretical and practical and are directed by engineers in practice andprofessors from academia. Methods such case studies, group dynamics, debate groups,brainstorming, and open discussion are used. In addition, leaders from various companies andpublic sector organizations share their experiences with the students, communicate their ownvision of leadership, and discuss them in an open environment

Additionally, satisfaction and career efficacy scores were Page 15.697.6significantly correlated (r = 0.335, p < 0.001). The grade a student received in the introductorycourse also had a significant impact on career efficacy (F = 2.74, p = 0.030).

until you know what theproblem is.” In other words, primarily, instructors should select a few prominent assessmenttasks in their courses (Dick & Carey, 1996, 2001). It is also important to observe that all courseassignments need not necessarily be identified as assessment tasks. It may be adequate if aninstructor can designate one or two tasks from each of the chosen courses (Brookhart, 1999).Authentic Assessment Fallon, Hammons, Brown and Wann (Fallon, 1997) define authentic assessment tasks arethose that (a) are meaningful to both students and the teacher, (b) are individual to each student’s experience in order to demonstrate his or her achievement, (c) require students to locate and analyze information as well as to

Due process allows for equity and fair play.21 Safety engineering as the instrumental arm of injury epidemiology, including the codedevelopment

Manufacturing is a field where boundariesbetween disciplines disappear opening opportunities for multidisciplinary research. The researchprojects and faculty mentors participating in the program represent 5 different disciplines in thecollege of engineering. This offers the teachers a multi-perspective view of how underlyingmathematical and scientific concepts are integrated in
reflection on these observations, we came to a conclusion that a good way toaddress the question above would be to gain experience in (and test-run) Project-Based Learning(PBL). It appears that engineering has inherent appeal due to its strong “hands-on” component –we have not met a student of engineering yet who wouldn’t be fascinated by the applied natureof the subject, which translates into “building something” or “seeing something work.” PBL isalso advantageous from the perspective of structuring the coursework to maximize its impact onthe students’ ability to a). Find a desirable job, and b). Succeed in it – and it’s no secret thatpresent-day industry operates in terms of projects. Thus, it has been decided that our teachingproject will focus

The mean responsewas a 3.85 over all questions indicating that the students felt the course had been a positiveexperience. The highest scores were given to questions 1, 3, 5, and 7 and indicated that hands-onactivities and ‘human factors’, including communication between the instructors and the studentsand lecture style, had a significant impact on the students’ evaluation of the course. From theirresponses, the students felt that the visual and active learning tools (e.g., visual images,experiments, CFD simulations, scavenger hunt, ‘fluids in the news’) used in the course hadsignificantly
