Building self-efficacy (self-perceived ability to successfully engage in a task) 2. Encouraging idea generation 3. Instructing and assessing creativity 4. Rewarding creative ideas and productsWe enacted in a design class the above four approaches to promoting the development ofcreative thinking. Students were enrolled in either a fall or a spring section of a BME designcourse based on development of software and fabrication skills. One of the sections includeddaily, brief creativity exercises with non-academic rewards. On the first day of class and

Teach Design: Implementing Research ResultsAbstractWhile design has been increasingly taught in engineering courses over the last decade, there arestill many opportunities to improve the effectiveness of design learning. One opportunity is toleverage research on design processes in classrooms as design is taught. This paper presentsstudent work from two instances of a small seminar course in which empirically-based designprocess timelines were used as the basis of teaching undergraduate engineering students aboutdesign processes. Design process timelines are graphical representations that display how anindividual allocates time across a set of design activities as they engage in a design process.These

. Student engagement was one of the greatest successes in this FLCfor rapid EML micromoment implementation. As noted by one participant: “The greatest success was that the activities broke the monotone nature of the lectures; the students seemed more active and engaged during and after the activity. Both activities that I tried, I believe, also helped the students learn the concepts better.”All respondents agreed to recommend this EML micromoments FLC to other faculty andincorporate micromoment activities in their future courses. One of the respondents concurred thatthese activities are low effort and can make a significant impact. If multiple classes implementthese activities, the students will learn the entrepreneurial mindset

this paper, we present ourstudy of the performance of students in two partially flipped electrical and computer engineering (ECE)classes, where we compare students’ performance in the flipped modules to those in the non-flippedmodules. This comparison enabled us to evaluate the potential impact of flipped instruction on studentlearning within a single course offering. Also, we studied the students’ perspectives on flipped learning andthe activities conducted during class time.The elements of flipped classroom generally include (a) an exposure to the content prior to the classmeeting, (e.g., video lectures), (b) a motivator for students to prepare for class, (e.g., pre-class oraccountability quizzes), (c) a method to assess student

First, the majority of Fellows expressed worrythat they might be a burden to the high school teacher. Second, a few of the Fellows articulatedconcerns that their assignment was likely to lead them to work with students that might not needtheir help. Instead they would have preferred an appointment in a high school with fewerscience resources.Time emerged as a major theme for the Fellows on both the survey and in the interviews.Most of these students are actively engaged in research projects either for their majoradvisor or in preparation of a

Significantly, one of the seasoned instructors had no identified failures versusanother seasoned instructor had a 12% failure rate. The new instructors had statisticallycomparable results for failure rates. The significant conclusion from Table 1 is that teachingexperience may not necessarily impact the rate of student failure. This is counterintuitive, but isimportant to consider that a well trained teacher is as effective as a seasoned professional.
