Fellows also developed“Science Boxes” to collect and answer student questions, “Science Nights,” “Discovery Days,”and “Win a Day at Duke” contests. Eight annual Fellow training workshops, taught bypartnership teachers, covered Bloom’s Taxonomy, learning styles of special- needs children andbehavior management. Teachers participated in monthly training sessions on integratingtechnology into classrooms and received Duke Continuing Education credit. The Duke-NCSUGK-12 Engineering Teaching Fellows program was recognized by Microsoft ResearchUniversity Programs as a national K-12 outreach model.From 2001-2004, MUSCLE provided a curriculum enhancement

Althoughboth academic and industry professionals agree on the importance of providing students theopportunity to work on multidisciplinary teams, many institutions struggle to create theseopportunities within their curriculum. This paper will examine the benefits and challenges ofcreating a multidisciplinary senior capstone course from the perspective of engineering faculty.IntroductionMost engineering educators support the idea of a multidisciplinary capstone course in concept,3, 4but long-standing obstacles have limited the development and long-term success of suchprojects.5, 6 Saunders4 noted that work experience involving both engineers and non-engineersenhances the preparation as engineers

Based on a review of global leadershipcompetencies, the IES is used in contexts such as those found in many educational settings,where economy and ease of administration are critical program elements. The IES (Mendenhall,Stevens, Bird, Oddou & Osland, 2011) consists of three domains: Continuous Learning,Interpersonal Engagement, and Hardiness. Each of these competencies can be broken down intosub-competencies, which are important aspects of intercultural competency. Factor analysis foreach subscore grouping resulted in a coefficient alpha reliability of between 0.79 to 0.84(Mendenhall, Stevens, Bird, Oddou & Osland, 2008).Qualitative Assessment

Researchers effectively argue the casefor incorporating practical components into engineering classes, emphasizing the value ofproblem-based or project-based learning (PBL) which aims to bridge theoretical knowledge withreal-world applications [6].Numerous literatures present some innovative designs of hands-on laboratory practice under theengineering course curriculum.

And because I knew that my circuit knowledge was very limited because we only had really one circuits course, and it wasn't as intensive, or it wasn't as involved as it should have been to prepare me for this project. I had to also take a step back and read about general circuitry, why certain things overheat, how you could reduce that. And then when I couldn't figure out why it was overheating, I was also

She alsocompleted courses that focused on various engineering-related topics such as manufacturing,CAD modeling, and product design.
