Discipline-Based Educational Research Outside of the ClassroomAbstractThis “tricks of the trade” paper seeks to support new researchers interested in conductingdiscipline-based educational research outside of the classroom setting. Based on national calls,we need to increase science literacy and expanding our efforts to informal science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) learning will support these calls to action. Traditionally,discipline-based educational research in STEM has been conducted in typical classroomenvironments. This can include classrooms from preschool through higher education. However,there is an ever-widening set of opportunities afforded to people to learn about STEM careersand STEM topics outside of the classroom. To better

One of the most powerful of these metaphors likens the market system “to theebb and flow of a tide. The market environment is a culmination of time, place, technology,society, government, suppliers, customers, and competitors. It’s an emerging system where newentities, business models, inventions, and ideas spin off the “ebb and flow” of the possible.Entrepreneurial opportunities exist as rocks uncovered by the “ebb and flow” of the tide” (p. 75).Extending the metaphor, Hunter explains that “The “ebb and flow” of the tide embracescomplexity.

Both of the other speakers reallytouched on a critical issue, which essentially boils down to us versus them. Unfortunately, we’vecome to a place in human history where the kind of technology we have available to us,particularly with social media, allows us to develop a very hyper-specific sense of what ouridentity and our in-group is, and we create this very specific kind of bubble, which we define by aset of beliefs or ideas or world view that we feel most comfortable
Session 2793 The Continuum of Distance Learning in Engineering Education John W. Martin, Ed.D., M.B.A., Mohammed E. Haque, Ph.D., P.E. Texas A&M UniversityAbstractDistance education has rapidly emerged in the global university. The American Council ofEducation estimated that 85 percent of traditional colleges and universities offered, or soonwould offer distance accessible classes. China alone produces more than 100,000 graduates, withmore than half of China’s 92,000 engineering and technology graduates having attained theirdegrees through distance education.

Developing an Approach to Measure Engineering IntuitionIntroductionSolving complex 21st century engineering problems requires an ability to judge the feasibility ofsolutions. This engineering judgement is an essential skill for today’s engineering practitioners.It is imperative that we prepare the future engineering workforce to exercise this judgement,informed by engineering intuition, while avoiding graduates who simply take output at facevalue without critical analysis. This requires that we first understand the construct of engineeringintuition.This project seeks to characterize and develop

The group presentation requires thestudent groups to present on one emerging technology and the information can be obtained froma variety of sources such as journals, magazines, and technical reports. The midterm projectrequires students to research and understand the working mechanism of a micro fluidic mixerand apply the knowledge to design a serpentine micromixer. Student performance on each ofthese activities is rated as either Poor, Below Expectation, Meets Expectation, and AboveExpectation. The assessment data shows that the percentage of students achieving

Through the data collected from the student survey, educators can gain insights into the specific areas where AI tools have positively impacted student learning. This information can guide curriculum development, ensuring that the incorporation of AI tools aligns with the desired learning outcomes. Furthermore, the student survey will provide vital feedback on areas where improvements are needed, allowing educators to address any challenges the students face in utilizing AI tools effectively.
