As a recent 1addition to the compendium of research doctoral disciplines, Engineering Education (Eng Ed)programs aim to prepare students to independently conduct rigorous research on engineeringcurriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and faculty development” among other relevant topics [2],[3], [4]. It is expected that based on their doctoral education and training, graduates will not onlyserve as researchers but will also perform leadership functions

Community building can be added to the syllabus aspart of a learning assignment. For example, grouping students for topic search, sharing resources,or any other low-level activities can help build relationships. Forming small groups is always agood idea so that students have the opportunity to contribute equally.ConclusionThis exploratory study contributed to the field of STEM education and, specifically, tounderstanding how STEM graduate students learn in shared collaborative learning environments.The findings revealed that inquiry-based online courses with integration of applied research peerreview activities need

In parallel to recent advances in science and engineering, convergence research — themerging of diverse knowledge — is being called upon to solve complex problems at theintersection of science and society. To align graduate STEM education with the need ofconvergent approaches, graduate students are expected develop skills in problem solving,collaboration, systems thinking, and communication. This article describes ConGrad, aconvergent graduate education framework that combines transdisciplinary methodologies,experiential learning, and learning by teaching, within the context of a project-based curriculum.Using the ConGrad framework, we propose a program in which

In spite of these programs running fordecades, the interaction between universities and companies was not progressing fast enough.Therefore, a few years ago NSF’s Directorates for Education and Human Resources; Engineering;and Computer and Information Science and Engineering introduced ‘Non-Academic ResearchInternships for Graduate Students (INTERN)’. Even the critics of Stokes’ model have recognizedthat ‘working with industry can provide tremendous benefits and generate many new questions offundamental importance’ [5].A key aspect that is absent in these various analyses of research has been the education

Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, 01854 Abstract Balance problems affect more than eight million adults, and the percentage of balance problems increases with age. Globally, the population is aging, making balance problems a relevant topic of investigation. Balance impairments are the primary cause of falls, which result in debilitating injuries, especially for the elderly population.
