behaviors.This research is cross-cultural, since culture has been shown to affect behaviors and thoughtsrelated to ethics, and the educational and working environments of engineering are more cross-cultural and international than ever before.IntroductionThis paper describes the motivations for and nature of a website being developed to hosteducational modules on engineering ethics, as well as to collect information regarding cross-cultural moral psychology.These motivations include improving access to and the quality of ethics education, while at thesame time conducting research based on information collected through the site, to trace the resultsof ethics education and increase the likelihood of long-term ethical behaviors. The goal is notsimply to
diverse and engaged specialists who know how to acquireknowledge as an independent and interdependent learner.Yet, the responsibility for proactive learning management was too much for some students. Sucha reluctance may potentially be explained students’ K-12 school experiences, through which theyhave developed the habit of being dependent learners and allowing the system keep track ofprojects, grades, and learning directions [9]. Indeed, some PI students felt quite at a loss inguiding themselves through the process of working towards and receiving badges. Thisuneasiness may be explained by the non-linearity of badges (i.e. the order of badges is suggestedbut not required) and the number and complexity of activities or challenges within each

, andquickly moved to examples to illustrate major ethical frameworks, such as character-based frameworks, ends-based frameworks, rule-based frameworks, and rights-basedframeworks. In addition, we introduced a 12-step approach for enhancing ethical literacyand analyzing ethical challenges. The step-based approach to analyzing ethical cases hasbeen developed and adapted by several ethicists [15]. We adopted the 12-step approachfrom the Rock Ethics Institute [18]. This approach involves iteratively going through thenext 12 steps: “1.State the nature of the ethical issue you’ve initially spotted. 2.List the relevant facts. 3.Identify stakeholders. 4.Clarify the underlying values. 5.Consider consequences. 6.Identify relevant rights/duties
statistical differences when in practicality there is no useful case formaking a differentiation.Before students embark on learning design experimentation, they should have a grasp of basicstatistical concepts. This goes beyond the ability to calculate a mean and standard deviation of asample. Students are expected to be able to make practical inferences about differences inmeans. Without the ability to phrase hypothesis testing results in concise and statistically soundlanguage, students will be lost and will fail to grasp experimental designs.Therefore, we suggest a review of the following statistical concepts before embarking on adesigned experimentation exercise. First, given two sample populations (about 20 observations)calculate the mean and

was to score based on low,medium and high participation across all peer led team learning activities because participationdropped later in the course when students recognized the score in the class was high enough notto be impacted by reduced participation in the peer groups.Problem-solving through peer learning and group work allowed for an increase in engagement ofstudents with peers compared to simply memorizing and taking tests. Presenting students withchallenges that had to be solved through a small group systematic process helped studentsdevelop peer relationships beyond the instructor-student relationship. This was particularlyinsightful for best practices to support Veterans and active military adult learners that aretraditionally

The professor activelyfacilitates learning through discussion, feedback and other interactive models and thus servesmore as a teaching mentor and guide rather than a traditional lecturer. An example of activelearning is a student providing a differential equation for a hydraulic system and then challengedto learn everything they need to know to solve it.

Even though, the use of LEGONXT brick has been in practice and prevails in today’s K-12 classrooms, this paper willprimarily focus on how the use of NXT can be expanded to students in colleges anduniversities at freshmen and Sophomore levels using simple DAQ board and prototypeinterface unit. Originally, NXT was intended for use by children at home or in theclassroom, but the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system has been acquired by tens ofthousands of
