Since executing the enhanced lesson that is Boodler’s Pizzeriarequires considerable effort by the instructor team, a key question remained - how effective isthis endeavor in terms of making the course content memorable and applicable? Student scoresacross homework assignments, mid-term exams, and final grades were analyzed to determine ifthe effort improved student learning.

impacts of engineering (ESI) isan important part of undergraduate education. Despite the inclusion of these topics inaccreditation criteria, professional codes of ethics, and engineering bodies of knowledge, there islittle consensus on the most effective approach to educating students about ESI. BetweenSeptember 2016 and April 2017, 37 interviews with faculty experienced in ESI education werecompleted. The interviews were designed to gain insight into the courses or co-curricularactivities in which the educators teach ESI. The semi-structured interviews explored the teachingapproaches used, including topic selection, pedagogy, and assessment, as well as motivatingfactors in the course design, perceptions of student impacts, and the overall

Since students sometimes enter university with veryheterogeneous backgrounds, it is of great importance to provide students with the possibilityto catch up. For example Johnson and ‘O Keeffe [18] examined the effect of a pre-universitymath transfer course for adult learners. They concluded that there was an increase in retentionrates of students who participated in the transfer course. A similar study investigated theeffect of a summer math intervention program. The participants took a math readiness exambefore and after the intervention program and the scores were significantly higher [21].Another option is to offer remedial support after enrollment.

Specifically, the builtquality of the final prototype was improved in projects that focused on mechanical design, butthese improvements did not extend to other types of projects or to other late steps in theengineering design process. We discuss our findings in terms of the spacing effect, and othermeans by which engineering design behavior might be reinforced.Control yearThe control year of this design course was based around (a) a semester-long project thatculminated in an alpha prototype, and (b) a series of 1 to 3-week

Concerns related to this growth in engineeringemployment include the attraction, retention, and quality of students in engineeringdisciplines. Research has shown that achievement in engineering courses is correlatedwith spatial ability3-6 and that spatial ability skills can be improved through training3, 4.However, whether a correlation between retention and spatial ability exists has beendisputed in the literature.Sorby and Baartmans7 developed a course at Michigan Technological University entitled“Introduction to Spatial Visualization” to improve the spatial ability of freshman studentswho were identified as at-risk due to poorly

Research was conducted on theintersection of Ghana’s social and environmental climate and crop storage practices andtechnologies with a specific focus on the effect of behavioral and gender roles on women inagriculture. From this information, an educational module was designed for the volunteers whowould train the farmers on how to improve their storage practices.
