to take notes is important because the process allows them to internalize whatthey are reading. They practice how to organize the information for themselves and identify moreeffective studying practices to prepare for the course assessments. In a sudden situation, e.g.,when the traditional face-to-face courses are rapidly converted to remote learning during thepandemic, note-taking can serve as a critical practice for students. When students have tosuddenly participate in the class activities remotely, students may not have the environment thatprovides the right conditions for reflection and engagement with the content. By taking notes,students can focus their attention and thus manage the surrounding distractions. If the learner
2020, the lab experiments were modified to use Arduino basedsensors that allowed for experimentation either on campus or at home. The Arduino kits were thesame for on- and off-campus students, and all lab groups contained students from both cohorts.Students shared data from on-campus and off-campus experiments to complete the lab reports.These hybrid labs were in place for Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. In Fall 2021 students returned tocampus full time. Rather than reverting to the previous on campus labs, the Arduino basedexperiments were modified slightly for students working completely in the lab. Student reactionsto the labs before, during, and after the COVID interruption were assessed using student surveys.These surveys probed whether

Given the makeup of the students in the class, this relatively simpleactivity, which is more commonly found in K-12 STEM programs, was intended to forge initialconnections between science and math concepts and a tactile experience. The next lab began athree-week popsicle stick truss bridge design, construction, and testing arc. Students didbackground research on common truss bridge designs, learned to solve truss problems, andbrainstormed designs that would satisfy one or more of the design objectives: strongest bridge,highest specific strength, and aesthetics. As lecture material progressed past the static mechaniccontent, lab assignments included problem sets on modeling dynamic control systems and lifecycle assessment
]. The 2009 paper detailed initial findings ofthe project which include students showing a lack of internalization of professional ethics despite therebeing, “much real engineering ethics being taught” [21, p. 13], and students not seeming resistant to ethicseducation. As research continued, eight more institutions were included in the data set [11]. This studyindicates that although students identify a high quantity and quality of ethics during their undergraduatecourses, the lack of ethics knowledge amongst students indicates there is still a disconnect in studentinternalization of ethics knowledge. The study assesses this knowledge through responses to five ethicsquestions based on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exams. The focus on

This is often spurred by ‘it worked’ and, more often, ‘it didn’t work’ moments.To illustrate, Darren recounts: Darren: Yeah, I would say [it] did not go well when I initially welded my tubes on, and then I was like, "All right, let's see if they're strong." And I snapped it right off.ME203 students respond to such moments by referencing their internal map and accessing one ormore learning resources through: (1) observing, (2) asking, (3) practicing, or (4) being

headed the IA program at the University of Maryland from the 1950sthrough the 1980s, represented a very different philosophical approach to IA curriculumdevelopment. As Maley later assessed the landscape of the profession in the 1960s: “There wasan overemphasis on the materialistic elements—projects, processes, and materials—with a veryminor concern for the individual. Teaching processes were dominated by the teacher, and whatwas learned was limited largely to what the teacher knew or could demonstrate”15. Looking morelike Dewey and other progressive educators of the turn of the century, Maley’s “Maryland Plan”curriculum focused on students and method, rather than content, as was the focus of IACP andother curriculum models of the 1960s.

We contend that what is needed is a necessarytension between the affordances of contextualized experience offered by typical apprenticeshipprograms, and the affordances of more highly structured experiences traditionally enacted inclassroom environments.

If a participant requested additional information theadministrator would provide information from a broad set of categories, for example: budget,neighborhood opinions, specifics about the area, or materials costs. The sessions were video andaudio-taped, and the audio tapes were transcribed. The transcripts were segmented into ideaunits (independently segmented by two coders, reliability checked, and discrepancies resolved byconsensus). Previous analyses of these data were conducted by assigning a code based on a pre-determined coding scheme of the engineering design process.Each participant produced a playground design. The quality of the designs was assessed using ascore comprised of three components, which added together resulted in a
contributor is struggling to assess how thedevelopment of his or her knowledge and commitments relates to the emergent image ofeducation for global competitiveness. Some call attention to additional goals to complementeducation for competitiveness. Some emphasize alternative goals. Many resist the dominance ofcompetitiveness as a primary, unquestioned justification for international and global engineeringeducation. The significant news in this project is that all these trajectories are responding to andchallenging dominant practices of engineering education more generally. The key issue is not, inthe first instance, about economic competitiveness. A recurring outcome of discrepant experiences adding identities outside countries was
