Currently, visual representationcan be used as a valued practice for capturing or translating desired information into visual formsin a speedy but creative way. That said, many visual representations can be initiated to interpretneeds and problems and visually presents their conceptualization with hand-drawnrepresentations. At a first step, it purely displays ‘the idea’ and more ideas can then be refinedand iterated. Also, multiple representations can be performed to
effectiveness[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. These explorations have contributed profoundly to reshaping ourunderstanding of instructional methods and approaches, emphasizing the need for diverse andadaptive teaching strategies. A notable contribution by Johnson and Johnson [4] highlights theeffectiveness of cooperative learning, where students work in small groups to achieve learninggoals, demonstrating improvements in academic achievement and interpersonal relationships.Furthermore, research by [6] on concept mapping and learning highlighted the effectiveness ofthis approach in improving student comprehension and retention of complex concepts. Nesbit andAdesope [6] emphasized the importance of integrating cognitive theories and technology-enhanced tools in

but internalize agile values and principles.This initial work suggests that teaching agile practices, common now in university curricula,does not lead to an agile mindset, and that more is required to develop the mindset in students. Itis an open question as to the best way to do this, and to what extent a student needs todemonstrate the mindset compared to what is expected of professionally mature softwareengineers. In our work we are continuing to refine our pedagogy for teaching agile. The SER516class emphasizes critical inquiry through paper reading, discussions, and personal reflectionthrough free response assignment questions and concept mapping. However, in these initialresults these students did not demonstrate a more agile mindset

in person interviews. These interviews involved a set of structured questions, acalculus concept inventory, and a concept map that represented their view of engineering. Thefirst part of the study, the survey, is where the data for this paper came from. One of the areas ofinterest to the project were the experiences of returner and direct pathway online graduateengineering students.Findings. There were 88 returners (R) and 242 direct pathway (DP) students who returned thesurvey. Of these, 73 R responded to the question regarding online or traditional coursework. 32,or 44% of these respondents were online learners. 47 DP of 184 respondents, 26%, were onlinelearners.

Using a wealth of simulation tools,students will brainstorm to generate concepts, use decisional practices to select solutions andbenchmarking to determine the final solution. They will explore concept mapping notions. Nexttopics will explore design aspects, from embodiment design, detail design to robust design. Theywill use modern tools such as CAD modelling and CAE simulations in developing several designalternatives to be used in concept selection process, Virtual Simulation CAD modeling and CAEsimulations. During this process, they will use several
workshop, how instructors mapped their empathy experiences from students onto themodel revealed several insights. We used the concept mapping tool Miro to set up a space whereinstructors could do this, which included spaces for experiences that did not fit on the model.While instructors were able to relate many of their identified student experiences to parts of themodel, the distribution across the model was not always even. One instructor noted that therewere considerably more experiences in the upper left-hand side of the model (i.e., imagine-otherperspective taking in needfinding), although the distribution was different in the second round ofthe same workshop with a distinct set of participants.

projects. The end of both design projects reserved one day to focus on EMand asked them to reflect on questions they had about engineering, to create a concept map as agroup about EM, and to identify the value they had created for stakeholders in their projects. In2021-2022, this was the first introduction to EM for both projects and was designed as areflection. In 2022-2023, it was the first introduction to EM for the robot project, but theresearch-based project had heavily focused on EM and value creation throughout the semester.Student workload across the design projects was reduced in 2022-2023 compared to the yearprior. For example, students were given additional time to brainstorm their designs and createthem, reducing the overall number of

For students in this program, learninghow to observe clinical settings to identify unarticulated needs has been transformative for somestudents. Some medical personnel say “there are no problems” when you ask. Yet, when thestudents watch – even for a short while – they can identify possible avenues for how engineeringsolutions can decrease the global health burden.Moving forward, the team plans to complete a more formal assessment of the developedmaterials. In the future, we would like to assess the materials three different ways: • Use concept maps to track the evolution of students’ understanding of topics and skills in

metacognitiveawareness [5]. Specifically, five lifelong learning skills are: goal setting, self-direction and self-evaluation, information seeking, application of knowledge, and adaptation of learning strategiesto different conditions [6]. Metacognitive engagement plays a crucial role in developing lifelonglearning skills [7]. Metacognition enhances an individual’s awareness of their learning process,which assists in the judgment of their performance and influences their learning choices [8].Individuals can be metacognitively engaged through the use of activities such as think-aloud,concept mapping, and reflection.In engineering classrooms, reflection activities are commonly implemented to promote students'metacognitive engagement [9] and to aid students in
