Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

, technological literacy is absolutely essential in order to allowpeople to function and be productive in our competitive society today.Martin14 (2002) stated that “In a democratic society, technological literacy has individual,societal, and environmental implications…. As individuals, people need (a) to developtechnological abilities so they will better know how to use products; (b) to assess the impacts oftechnological actions; and (c) to develop better decision-making abilities in order to determinewhich technological system or process to use or not use (p.52).” According to the InternationalTechnology Education Association, ITEA3, (1996) “The technologically literate personrecognizes the possibilities advances in technology create and the choices

. Since the syllabus did not clearly specify a grading scheme for writing quality in particular, the quality of the lab reports was below standard. As a trade-off, the decision was made to remove a great deal of points from unacceptable work, with an offer to restore them if corrections were made by the student. In this manner, the student is not penalized for initially expecting low standards, but they must still improve the quality of their work to acceptable levels if they want to obtain full credit. The authors also realized the importance of the assessment scheme on the quality of student learning, and it was noticed that the students’ training on technical writing was not emphasized enough in the practice

research done in situ, we struggled with balancing the tradeoffsbetween the best data collection process for student learning and the best process for rigorousresearch. Having students work in pairs to develop their rankings should require the students toarticulate their reasoning and think more deeply about the task. The result is then a negotiated setof rankings that belongs to the pair of students, rather than the individual students, which makesit difficult to analyze the correlation between individuals’ performances on assessments with therankings. We considered giving the ranking task as a homework assignment, but that option hasseveral disadvantages. First, we could not observe them as they performed the task and thereforewe would lose a

Another design aspect that hadto be considered was the orientation of the plane as well as the main camera that is filming the“scene” of VR.

In our research, we applied disciplinary identity theory, with a focus on computingidentity, to explore participants’ perceptions of the experiences and the impact of the Guild ontheir future computing aspirations. Towards this goal, we used a convergent parallelmixed-methods approach. We conducted pre- and post-workshop surveys of (n = 34) students’impressions and goals.

These can be an excellent tool for studentsand TAs alike to learn how a grading rubric is to be applied to an assignment.

Before diving intoo deeply, it is important to step back and think about alternatives, and what is most appropriategiven the scope of the program.While there could be many approaches, let’s consider two basic approaches to justifying anundergraduate research program: the first is to spend nine months creating a theoretical basis,and the second is to run a pilot and assess the results. • For the first approach, we will assume two people each spend 25% of their time doing research, meeting with stakeholders, and surveying students and faculty. If each person makes $100k per year and works on this project for 9 months, this amounts to a cost of $37,500 for the first approach. • For the second approach, someone

Previous work specific to engineeringdefines engineering intuition as “subconsciously leveraging experience to assess a situationand/or predict a future outcome” and situates its usage in the problem solving process as a toolused by experts when the problems they are tasked to solve face constraints [10].

This should include notonly theoretical discussions about ethics but practical case studies and real-life scenarios thatengineers may encounter in their professional lives. Additionally, departments should emphasizedevelopment of professional skills like communication, teamwork, and ethical decision-makingin their curricular assessments [13], [23], [24].

These sessions need to adapt to“each student’s learning style and personality” (Facilitator 3, para. 1). Initial assessment as alearning coach is needed of students’ abilities and needs in different areas of their lives, such astime management, communication, academic progress, career development (e.g., interviewingtechniques, resumes, cover letters, etc.), open-ended problem-solving, job etiquette, personal lifematters, and more (Facilitators 1-5).
