Our sessions were attended voluntarily by about 10 experienced (mostwith 5+ years of teaching) tenure-line and instructional faculty, all of whom were members ofour usual audience of faculty who are interested in evidence-based teaching.First session on faculty ethics: an exploration of ethical guidelines in higher educationIn the first session we discussed briefly what it means to be a member of a profession, rather thanbeing a practitioner of a craft or just having a job. A profession is a group that is “organized toearn a living by openly serving a certain moral ideal in a morally permissible way beyond whatlaw, market, and morality would otherwise require.”[1] Some of the elements of a profession arethat it

support grit development in first-generationcollege students.Introduction First-generation college students face numerous unique challenges within higher educationthat offer particular opportunities for research and interventions to improve their enrollment andretention. This population has potential to add to the field of engineering as they bring with themunique lived experiences. First-generation college students have been described as invisibleinnovators [1]. Smith and Lucena [1] argue if first-generation college students’ funds of knowledgeare equally valued knowledge as that of the dominant engineering culture, these students’ can belegitimate creators of knowledge and contribute to innovative solutions in the engineeringenterprise

(Practice Paper Category)AbstractTo meet the challenges and opportunities of educating new generations of engineering leadersfor jobs of the future, Engineering Management programs must evolve with a strategy thatintegrates academic education with workplace application. That strategy must address thechanging demographics of technical industries and their workforces. We can meet that challengeby unifying technical leadership fundamentals into an applied experience, internalizingengineering management coursework with a real-life technical leadership scenario that isapplicable across industries.Education research[1] shows that working professional students learn best through case studies,active learning, and project-based activity.

Theseactivities each achieve one or more of the learning objectives: The design activity servesLearning Objectives 2 and 4 by splitting students’ time between two sets of design sketching andfeedback sessions. The build activity facilitates Learning Objective 3. The test activity servesLearning Objectives 4 and 5 through its presentation, load testing, and instructor feedbackcomponents. All activities engage Learning Objective 1 because this is a group work project, andrequires efficient teamwork in order to complete in the modest two-day timeframe. [Figure 1] Three

IntroductionIn the last decade, there has been a significant increase of the number of community engagementprograms and a growth in research on these programs. As a result of this upsurge, newpublication venues have also been established, including the International Journal of ServiceLearning in Engineering (IJSLE) founded in 20041, and the new ASEE Community Engagementdivision founded in 2013.2 Related research has primarily focused on students, with particularemphasis on knowledge and skills; attitudes and identities; recruitment, retention, and diversity;and professional

A fifth dimension for explaining the space of teaming prompts issomething we have called connectedness to capture the various ways in which a prompt can beconnected up to something larger. For example, prompt 3 (with the focus on attendance) andprompt 4 (with the focus on grading) were constructed based on ideas that came up in previousteaming sessions. The prompts about being back on campus (prompt 1), back in the classroom(prompt 2), and back to normal (prompt 6) were constructed to create continuity with worldevents and the general context. The prompts about something you'd like students to know aboutyou (prompt 8) and a situation where you felt cared for (prompt 9) were connected to broaderdepartmental goals.These dimensions are by

The length of the poster session is dependent uponthe number of capstone projects, but enough time is allotted so that the judges may spend at least20 minutes with each project. Students are expected to stay next to their poster the entire postersession and provide a demonstration and answer questions to anyone who visits their area.Typically there are three

Creating a Library Instruction Session for a Technical Writing Course Composed of Engineering and Non-Engineering Students Kevin P. Drees, Kiem-Dung Ta, and Helen Peeler Clements Oklahoma State UniversityAbstractThis paper provides a framework of ideas for librarians and technical writing instructorsinterested in developing library instruction programs to enhance students’ performance intechnical writing courses. A new library instruction program for ENGL 3323: Technical Writingaddresses a concern of engineering faculty that engineering students, the largest studentpopulation enrolled in this course, are not locating the high quality resources needed to round outthe
material. “Most [high school] graduates enter college without the properknowledge, skills and fundamentals needed to succeed [1].” The high school “experiences, alongwith the lack of independence, confidence and expertise that is necessary for higher education,ultimately leave students unprepared for what lies ahead [1].”Summer or winter bridge courses are common applications of this concept [2][3][4]. Whenpaired with a pre-course survey [5], the instructor may then use the gathered wealth of data tocustomize course delivery and content to the particular student population in their classroom.The case detailed in this paper is student feedback analysis regarding a virtual 8-hours-over-2-days pre-course college preparatory session developed during

The purpose of this study was to explorehow AR might affect student motivation for vocabulary learning.An exploratory pilot study of a freely available augmented reality English vocabulary learningapplication was conducted to assess AR’s influence on students’ learning motivation. Semi-structured interviews were used for gathering assessment data. By analyzing the gatheredqualitative data within the framework of the ARCS Model, our results suggest that AR may helpwith student motivation toward the beginning of the application session, but tended to decreasetoward the end of the session.
