and was great review. - I enjoy the team quizzes. I do like that we get to pick our own groups. I did enjoy doing the team quiz more than taking an actually mid term as it's less stressful and also it can be a little fun depending on who the team members are. It does help a little with the team work as one of us is like the leader and kinda assign each member a task they would like to do. I learn more with the Team Quiz then with a Midterm test. ll i f l h h i i b l l f b ildiOverall, both the quantitative and qualitative results show the following: - Students feel that the team quiz activity helped their learning. - Students found the team-quiz exercise to be less

inworkshops attended by the EAs.During the first two years of the program, more than 300 middle and high school students tookpart in the lesson plans taught by the Engineering Ambassadors. At the end of each lessonpresentation, students were asked to complete a survey (see Table 1 and Appendix B) on thepresentation made by the EAs. The surveys included three parts: 1) questions on the lesson planworkshop with Likert-scale responses; 2) a checklist suggesting ways to make the lesson planworkshop better; and 3) open-ended question to make additional suggestions for enhancing thelesson plan workshop.Table 1.

midterm. Similar trends are seen in the final examand final course score. While spatial visualization ability seems to have the largest influence ontest scores and the class performance as a whole, it appears that gender modifies the effect ofspatial visualization, such that male and female students with the same visualization ability maynot have the same experience on exams.a) b)Figure 2. Interaction plots showing influence of gender and spatial visualization ability on (a)midterm standardized score and (b) homework hours.Figure 2b shows that spatial visualization also appears to have some effect on the averagenumber of homework hours reported by students with different spatial visualization
suggested the possibility of three higher order factors: (a) Logical thinking skills (e.g., develop a statistical model of an engineering process, analyze data with a modeling and simulation software); (b) Communication skills (e.g., effectively communicate and document to wider audience progress through the engineering design process ); and (c) Problem Solving skills (e.g., work well with hands, think practically to find a solution to an engineering problem). As an example of a Likert-scale question about students’ self-efficacy regarding their problem- solving skills, students were asked the following question: I can transform an analytical model into a working code to run on simulation software

science education for elementary education majors. As a former elementary teacher, her research and teaching interests are centered around improv- ing elementary students’ science and engineering learning and increasing teachers’ use of effective STEM instruction in the elementary grades. With the increased emphasis on improved teaching and learning of STEM disciplines in K-12 classrooms, Tank examines how to better support and prepare pre-service and in-service teachers to meet the challenge of integrating STEM disciplines in a manner that supports teach- ing and learning across multiple disciplines. More recently, her research has focused on using literacy to support scientific inquiry, engineering design, and STEM

Such colleagues at KPU are still making some resistance to changes in the curriculum.IV. Admittedly, the quality of education provided by the KPU and other Afghan universities is not of the highest standard because of the following reasons: a) The sudden increase in the number of students entering the higher education system in the country. b) Many of the junior academics and lecturers, particularly lecturers in provincial universities, graduated from the national universities with bachelor degrees and do not have

its aims todesign innovative curriculum elements that focus on a particular set of transversalcompetencies and implement these elements in the curricula of participating universities. Forthis purpose, five transversal competencies (Entrepreneurial, Innovation, Communication,Teamwork, and Lifelong Learning) were selected, defined and characterized based on anexisting framework of the Siemens company in the Netherlands (See Appendix A). A rubricfor each of the selected competencies was generated with four descriptive levels(Appendix B). This rubric was chosen as a starting point for competency evaluation as partof the industry collaboration stipulated by the European Union in Knowledge Alliances.Considering Siemens is a worldwide employer of

]. The problem is two-fold: (1) not enough female students arepursuing engineering and technology studies, and (2) those who pursue these areas often leaveearly in their career.The gender differences in entry and persistence in the area of engineering and technology thatleads to the under-representation of women in these fields are due to a combination of somesocial and environmental factors [8, 9, 10, & 11]. Some key factors that contribute to the genderdifference in entry to engineering and technology areas are gender stereotypes anddiscrimination, perceiving engineering as a profession for men, lack of encouragement,inaccurate information about the variety of careers available, negative beliefs about women’sabilities in STEM areas, and

.Conceptualization: Corresponding to the problems raised above, this study focuses on the following two aspects: (a) What are the main implementation paths for new engineering construction in China, and (b) the path selection model for different types of universities in the "new engineering" construction. 3. Coding book: Based on the research problem, the code book and code table of the inductive coding strategy are created. In this paper, the deductive coding method is used to determine the four paths of coding according to the literature analysis. The remaining paths are supplemented according to the interview content. In the coding, the path is selected in AD, the school is at 1-15, the interview object is at 1-27, and the number of paths is changed at
