The NationalScience Foundation addressed the issue by the creation of the engineering education consortia,and as a result significant changes took place on the landscape of engineering education in theUnited States. However, the changes seemed to be localized in some universities. In the yearssince the cessation of funding for the coalitions, there seems to have been a renewed interest inboth applying what was learned from the coalitions and also to bringing to bear more recentknowledge developed by “education” researchers, knowledge that was developed sometimes inan engineering context and sometimes not.Engineering

and context.This suggests that in any cooperative education experience multiple modal and contextualassessment methods are needed to evaluate learning as well as learning transfer within andbetween academic knowledge and the skills developed in the work place. Moreover, Bradford etal6 reported “a solid research” finding: To develop competence in an area of inquiry, students must: (a) have a deep foundation of factual knowledge, (b) understand facts and ideas in the context of a conceptual framework, and (c) organize knowledge in ways to facilitate retrieval and application.They further emphasized that “[a]ll new learning involves transfer based on previous learning,”but that this transfer of learning across knowledge domains is

Developing a Primer for First-Year Engineering EducatorsAbstract This Work-in-Progress paper lays the foundation for a primer for first-year engineeringeducators. A first-year engineering education primer is an introductory document on thefundamentals of research related to teaching, mentoring, and coordinating the first-yearengineering experience. The motivations for the First-Year Programs Division to develop thisprimer is the transfer of research outcomes and facilitation of informed decision making forpracticing professionals. Primers are often developed in fields of study to assist with thedissemination of evidence-based best practices. New engineering educators, administrators, andadvisors who have little

Session 2249 Evaluation of Cooperative Competition as an Educational Strategy in Project-Oriented Technology Education Richard Helps, Mark Patterson Brigham Young University/University of DaytonAbstractCompetitions can create an effective learning environment by engaging students in active andcooperative learning. And while competition and cooperation are usually considered byeducational researchers to be opposites, they can be used in conjunction to support learning. Thisstudy discusses the results of teaching upper-division and graduate-level technology courses
introductory Materials Science and Engineeringcourse. This process consisted of two steps: First, a student survey was conducted to identify theTV series that is popular among the students. This provided the backdrop of the game. The surveyalso identified the course concepts that students find challenging, which formed the educationalcontent of the game. Second step focused on the technical development of the game using theTMEG framework. Unity game engine was used to develop the game that embedded the identifiededucational content within the selected TV series-based theme. The game used game tasks,animations, videos to deliver the educational content within the game narrative. The outcomes ofthis research could lay a foundation for the future
