The continuum may bedescribed by four types of motivation: 1) intrinsic motivation, a state of enjoyment and inherentsatisfaction; 2) internal regulation, a state where initiative in the learning activity is prompted byidentified value; 3) external regulation, a state where initiative in the learning activity isprompted by external rewards and punishments; and 4) amotivation, which

Clients who worked with theStitt Scholars highlighted their effective communication skills, which will be discussed later inthis paper. The student teams also engage in deep collaboration. By empowering them to owntheir projects, each student was able to fully engage in the project work, discussion forums, andreflection sessions.

“active learning” [1]. Despite the benefits of active learning, researchers have found that studentsdo not always respond well or participate in these classroom activities [2]. Instead, students mayexperience a negative affective response, feeling negatively towards the activity or failing to seeits value [3] [4]. They may also have a negative behavioral response, becoming distracted [5] ornot participating [7]. To better support students’ affective and behavioral response to activelearning, researchers [6] have begun examining factors that influence how students respond toactive learning to identify potential points of inflection where targeted support and interventionsmight be particularly efficacious. Of particular interest has been classroom

Over the years, wehave evolved to a more student-directed approach, where current Fellows help to recruit andtrain new cohorts and students propose and develop their own projects with support from theirmentors and peers. We offer lessons learned, feedback from past and current Fellows, andpractical suggestions for other graduate programs interested in adapting this type of professionaldevelopment experience for their own campuses.IntroductionIn addition to the technical and research skills gained through graduate studies, engineeringstudents pursuing advanced degrees need to strengthen their communications, teamwork, andleadership skills

Student engineers come into the upper-division programs with prior knowledge andexperience that inform their learning and many students are non-traditional. As such, theprogram addresses the development of the whole student to support their development into beingthe type of engineer they want to be. Self-directed learning and autonomy are program valuesthat drive the student experience and faculty decision making.

2013, the standards have since beenadopted by 20 US states as their official K-12 science and engineering learning outcome standard set.An additional four states have based their standards on the NGSS framework [2].The NGSS are comprised of assessable learning outcomes or Performance Expectations (PEs) whichare composed of three-dimensional learning elements: Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), Science andEngineering Practices (SEPs), and Crosscutting Concepts (CCs) [3], [4], [5]. The integration of thesethree dimensions into PEs illustrates the importance —and interdependence— of content knowledgeand practices that engage students both in scientific inquiry and engineering practices. SEPs, CCs andDCIs are grouped into broader learning concepts
academic performance [3], the use of AR headsets offers a more immersiveand integrated experience for DHH students. However, the benefits of AR captioning might notbe fully realized without certain features, preventing DHH students from fully participating instructured and ad hoc class discussions and potentially negatively impacting their learning andengagement.To address this challenge and enhance DHH students’ educational experience, new features wereexplored for inclusion into ScribeAR [4], a free open-source web-based captioning tool, toinclude speaker diarization and contextual visualization. By using the techniques of HumanCentered Engineering Design (HCED) [5] we incorporated three new features, which arediscussed in this paper

It includes taking into account the amount of greenhouse gas emissions(such as CO2 and NOx gases) and how efficient the energy consumption is from fossil fuels.ICAO is currently working on issues related to the adaptation to climate change impact which isaddressed in UN SDG 13, mainly to meet the global aspirational goals of a 2% annual fuelefficiency improvement, and carbon-neutral growth from 2020 and to reduce the carbonemissions by 50% by 2050 using 2005 as the baseline [3], [7].

Thisscenario is associated in the literature with the shortage of dedicated engineering courses toincorporate these relevant blends of competencies into students’ coursework.In this study, we explore the efficacy of a sequence of coursework and activities designed by theUniversity of South Florida's Department of Electrical Engineering to support students’professional proficiency and technical skills development. Undergraduate students participatedin a series of Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) courses and technical courses withinspecialized tracks designed by the department. A sample of students who had taken the
first-year engineering graduate students’ initial goals were when entering theirgraduate programs and how those goals may have evolved over the course of their first year. Inthis longitudinal qualitative study, we interviewed the participants four times throughout the courseof their first academic year: (1) during the first semester, (2) between the first and secondsemesters, (3) after the second semester, and (4) at the end of the first summer of graduate school.Using thematic trajectory analysis, we determined what students’ goals were at the start of gradschool and how they may have changed. Findings indicate that students’ goal extensions fluctuatedthroughout the year and ultimately became more short-term by the end of the first year

Also,the educational goals and the resulting student learning outcomes (SLOs) remained the same. Theproject learning outcomes still included “1) development of teamwork skills, 2) increasedappreciation for current and future coursework in physics and dynamics, 3) an early understandingof the role of experimental and analytical approaches to engineering problem solving, 4)development of written communication skills through writing technical team reports, 5)development of MS Excel programming skills directly applicable to a real-life like

problems [17].For this research study, an intervention was developed within the M&S module to improvethe transfer of learning ability of students. The key elements of transfer of learning andauthentic assessments identified in the previous sections were built into this intervention. Themain features of the intervention were:(1) An ill-structured task as a graded module requirement – Students were given various real-life engineering problems to solve using simulation tools as an authentic assessment.(2) Awareness for the need to transfer learning – Students were made aware throughout theM&S module (such as in lectures and consultation sessions) that they had to use relevantinformation from past modules to solve the task given in (1).(3
not trivial for a first-year student. (2) The design requirements can be structured to allow for many different designs or more highly constrained to force an outcome of more specific designs. (3) The cost of materials needed for the project is relatively low and all materials are easily obtained. The project could easily be changed by simply changing the allowable materials for construction.In both implementations, students were asked to write a short reflection on the skills acquiredafter completing the project. Reflections were categorized based on reflection themes todetermine common themes and trends. This assessment, while largely qualitative in nature,provides a snapshot of how well students internalize the

. IntroductionWith the backdrop of reports such as A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform[1], Tomorrow's Teachers [2], and A Nation Prepared [3], the period of the eighties has beenconsidered a “decade of educational reform” [4], [5]. This call for change initiated the seriousintrospection of industrial arts education programs and its transformation into technologyeducation. With the vote to officially change the organizational name of the “American IndustrialArts Association” (AIAA) to the “International Technology Education Association (ITEA) in1985, the movement towards “larger clusters of technological content” [6] ensued. With thisreformation came the emergence of technology standards, introduced first by national
