The authors realize that theemergent themes resulting from analyzing these two case studies may not be generalizable to allsuch programs. The objective, however, is not generalizability. Instead, the objective is toprovide a rich description of themes that could later be studied across a broader set of

Ten years after the Seven Principles werepublished Chickering and Ehrmann14 noted that we could use “technology as a lever” to helpimplement these principles. The large-scale technology of the learning space itself can be onesuch lever.Examples of Alternative Learning SpacesDifferent groups are starting to transform some learning spaces to accommodate morecooperative and active learning approaches.15A prime example of using redesigned space to enhance learning is the SCALE-UP project(Student Centered Activities for Large Enrolment Undergraduate Programs).16 While thisproject has broader interests, its initial focus has been introductory physics.

As a woman who didn’t excel academically incollege and struggled to fit in with her mostly male peers, I was unaware that other students werehaving the same experiences as me. Inspired by other students’ stories and the realization that myexperiences were not unique, I became interested in exploring engineering identity and the keyevents, relationships, and identity dimensions that shape it. Because my significant experienceshave shaped who I am and how I perceive myself as an engineer, I want to know how otherstudents experience, manage, and navigate

While initial assessment was conducted at thedisciplinary course level, improvement actions have been more far-reaching includingnon-trivial course and program improvements, interdepartmental faculty collaboration,redesign of course content, and renewal of faculty interest in improved classroompedagogy.

Butundergraduate enrollment in engineering has dropped by 20 percent since 1985, and programsreport growing difficulties in recruiting women and minorities and retaining students. At thesame time that employers’ demand for engineering graduates is growing, the interest ofstudents in the topic is shrinking. Thus, any innovations in engineering education will occur ina context of self-examination and other reform initiatives.Sustainability

These courses usually have a large number of participants, leadingto several problems when the submitted exercises have to be graded by tutors. The main reasonfor this is that programming exercises, no matter which programming language is used, tend tohave a large degree of freedom for learners. Thus, simply comparing the provided solutions witha sample solution does not produce a reasonable result that can be used for grading, sincedifferent, yet still correct, solutions for the same exercise exist.

We willalso leverage two pedagogies: scaffolding students in their metacognition process to becomeself-directed learners; and creation of a teaching program based on case discussion pedagogy.We expect to offer our courses during and after spring 2018.
