Each of these sections combinedtheory with practice through panels with experts from academia and industry and hands-onworkshops, encouraging the students to consider multidimensional aspects of their chosenchallenge and its consequences for the entire system it links to. A variety of design thinkingmethods were introduced for exploring the challenges holistically to define and reframe theproblem at hand, identify ethical dilemmas and understand the needs of stakeholders forsuccessful collaboration.At the end of each section, students were asked to reflect on their incorporation

In each divergent thinking exercise, students were asked to generate multiple ideas fora given “problem” under a strict time constraint. After each exercise, a facilitated reflection sessionallowed for students to learn the idea generation approaches that were used by their peers. Weexamined the effectiveness of the DTSD module using two measures: (1) changes in self-perceptions of creative ability and mindsets and (2) reflections on the influence of DTSD training.Questionnaires containing the Short Scale of Creative Self and Creative and Fixed Mindsetmeasures were administered before

There are limited opportunities for STEM content teachers and English as a SecondLanguage (ESL) teachers to collaborate, particularly because STEM content teachers may seethemselves providing only STEM content while dismissing any language-related responsibilities[6].In recent years, dual language programs have expanded in the United States reflecting a betterunderstanding of the connection between language and content knowledge [7].

This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

, we focus on human diversity as reflective of “broad heterogeneity in socialidentities and statuses represented among individuals in a shared engineering experience” [1].We see these dimensions as situated in, interacting with, and influenced by the cultural andsocial norms in which individuals operate. In turn, individuals affect those cultural norms.Understanding these aspects is increasingly recognized as an important part of learning tobecome an engineer. Though traditional engineering education has been, and to a large extentstill is, focused on students acquiring technical knowledge [2] [3], in the workplace engineers arerequired to bring more than technical expertise to solve problems. As part of their work, theyoften draw on different

For this module,groups of students considered the unique design needs of a marginalized stakeholder who relieson the material properties of single-used plastic straws (e.g., individuals with strength andmobility issues) to recommend an alternative material for the straw (e.g., paper, metal, silicone).In doing so, they must consider the larger economic, environmental, and social impacts of theirmaterial recommendation, and also consider how engineering design and public policy canunintentionally exclude vulnerable populations.

In twoways, current engineering education research (EER) does not adequately reflect these multipleinterlinked experiences that contribute to competency formation. Firstly, while much EER hasbeen devoted to students’ classroom learning [4, 5], less emphasis has been placed on work-integrated learning and the synergies arising from learning inside and outside classrooms.Secondly, the potential of existing data sources, such as administrative data, academic recordsand student surveys which engineering schools routinely collect, remains relatively untapped.These data sources are

We found that students reliably accounted for the decisions observed.Based on these subconstructs, we developed Likert statements written as simple concepts [48]with a 7-point bipolar scale, with a middle option to reduce measurement error [49]. Researchsuggests that using item-specific scales, as opposed to the commonplace agree/disagree scale,can improve the quality of responses [50]; we thus avoided agree/disagree scales and focused ondeveloping scales that reflected the construct we sought to measure. For instance, we avoidedscales that focused on frequency (e.g., always to never), as in our discourse analysis, weobserved that even infrequent decisions were sometimes very impactful. This

feasible. The new LMSsystem is supposedly more friendly toward this but is not scheduled to be deployed until the2020-2021 academic year.Second, in pure standards-based grading, the only measurements made are assessments ofachievement. This, however, goes against some of the practices that encourage good studentlearning and prevent procrastination, such as an early submission bonus which encouragesstudents to start assignments before they are due. [12] [13] The current rubrics still have an earlyperformance bonus because it does encourage students to start earlier and work throughassignments, and it also is quite popular with students. But it does go against pure standards-based grading. Another area is a reflection bonus which is used in a
