However, previous research doesshow that arts education increases students’ interest, motivation, self-esteem andwillingness to try new things [17], which are closely related to creative personality.It is increasingly expected that universities could foster more creative engineeringstudents [18]. However, “evocation of ‘more creativity’ has been limited to rhetoricalflourishes in policy documents” [19]. Educational programs focus excessively ondeep technical specifications, with little room in the curriculum for creativity [20].Some universities have realized this situation and start to pay more and more attentionto creativity instruction. Many ways such as brainstorm become more and morepopular in
that leads it, so rather, so for example, I think um, lectures could still be, could still be an aspect of self- directed learning, but rather than the professor determining the curriculum for the whole, no, whatever skill set you’re trying to learn, it’s, you’re deciding what that skill set is. So lectures could for example, be a component of self-directed learning, but for me, I think the key is that, um, the learner is the main driver.” [person D]EffectivenessThese learners, when experiencing self-directed learning, are concerned with theexpediency and effectiveness of the learning. They view self-directed learning as beingthe level to which the processes are like lean manufacturing. “It means the

While earning her bachelor’s degree, she worked as a computer science instructor at Campus Middle School for Girls. Along with a team of undergraduates, she headlined a project to develop a unique computer science curriculum for middle school students. She then earned her secondary mathematics teaching certification in New York City at Columbia University. Arastoopour then accepted a position teaching
across various fields, like healthcare, manufacturing, and organizationalbehavior ([13, 14]) and since teaming is a critical component of engineering education, morequalitative and quantitative work still needs to be done to understand how psychological safetyaffects the teaming experiences of marginalized students in engineering.Our previous research [17] asked students to indicate their teaming experiences on a Likert scale,and while we saw some small differences in how various groups experienced teaming, theexperiences between different demographic groups was largely the same. From literature onexperiences of marginalized students in engineering however, we know there are more nuancedcomponents to the teaming experiences that we wanted to

Between Violent Extremism and Education. As thetitle suggests, the book probes why there is a sizable presence of people with engineering degreesin right-wing fundamentalist groups, most notably Jihadi terrorists but also neo-Nazis and whitesupremacists.6 While the book offers compelling evidence to support a correlation betweenviolent fundamentalism and engineering education, it is primarily concerned with drawingconnections between the two based on the personality traits of individuals. This leaves thepractices and curriculum of engineering education black-boxed: are people with personalitiesprone to fundamentalism attracted to engineering, or do engineering education programs activelyfoster sympathy for fundamentalist ideologies?

Engineering Mechanics CoursesABSTRACTIntroductory, fundamental engineering mechanics (IFEM) courses, such as statics of engineering,mechanics of materials, dynamics, and mechanics of fluids, have far too long been focused onintense mathematical and theoretical concepts. Bold new methodologies that connect science tolife using active learning pedagogies need to be emphasized more in engineering classrooms.This study investigated the role of a new paradigm in teaching IFEM courses and attempts tocontribute to the current national conversation in engineering curriculum development of theneed to change engineering education—from passive learning to active learning. Demographiccharacteristics in this study included a total of 4,937 students, of whom 4,282

Arguably, data that are measurable and quantifiable yieldresults and pedagogical understandings that are generalizable in the traditional sense. These dataalso provide findings that are not easily contested, especially in the face of skeptics. However, in2004, a “how to” workshop was offered at the annual meeting of ASEE, demonstrating theincreasing relevance of qualitative research to developing a rich understanding of engineeringeducation
