create intercultural engineers. Service Learning can have positive impact onskills such as teamwork and communication skills, global competency and develop sociallyresponsible engineers [15, 16, 17]. It may also help attract a more diverse population intoengineering [18, 19]. Sustainability taught through experiential learning contributes to students’understanding of ethics and their ethical obligation as engineers [20]; research shows a strong linkbetween ethics and sustainability (environment) [21]. To study the long-term effect of participatingin service learning opportunities, Canney et al. [22] surveyed alumni who were in their first job orsubsequent jobs and found that participants with more service engagement were more likely tomore

This paper will describe thehistory of the MEA Learning System (MEALS) and the lessons learned about developing customteaching and research software, and will explore how the development of custom software toolscan be used to facilitate the dual roles of teaching and educational research.IntroductionSince 2002, Purdue University’s first-year engineering problem solving and computer toolscourse (ENGR 106 – later renamed ENGR 126) has had a fall enrollment of between 1200 and1700 students (350-800 in the spring). Students typically have their work evaluated by one of theup to 20 graduate teaching assistants (TAs), receive lectures from one of up to six facultymembers, and potentially interact with one

Though they did identify conflicting studies on student preferencefor active, collaborative, and traditional teaching techniques, they found that students want to beactive but not responsible to the group for learning and valued anything that they perceived asimproving exam performance.

This study uses research conducted by Ponto [7] and Glasow [8] to design anappropriate survey instrument and conduct the appropriate analysis and address sampling, error,and data collection methods.

students will graduate with an international experience.SafetyIn the aftermath of the events of September 11, we wondered what the effect would be on studyabroad and the field of international education. Already at the beginning of the Fall 2001semester we were concerned that the economic downturn might lead to a reduction inapplications, and it was unclear how much more September 11 would push down the economy.Further, we wondered if fear in the post-September would discourage students from participatingin a study abroad program (and their parents from supporting them to travel abroad). In fact, wedid not see a drop in student applications for the spring 2002 semester, and as of this writing, wehave not noticed a drop for the 2002-2003 academic

utmost need.Energy literacy[4],[5],[6] helps us to understand the nature and role of energy significantly. Italso enables a person to make decisions about how best to use energy while taking affects andconsequences into consideration. Research,[7],[8],[9] however, suggests that the energyawareness and related education among U.S. K-12 students has a long way to go. For example,Dewaters and Powers[9] looked into the energy literacy of secondary students in New York Stateand reported that students are concerned about energy problems, but their low cognitive andbehavioral scores suggested that the students may lack the knowledge and skills they need toeffectively contribute toward solutions. Energy literacy thus calls for extensive studies, well

construction industry’s complexity demands strong collaboration skills, yet manyengineering graduates are unprepared for this challenge. In Chile, only 49.5% of engineeringstudents report developing practical teamwork skills, revealing a critical gap in their training.Addressing this requires fostering key competencies such as collaboration, leadership,communication, conflict resolution, and a strong sense of belonging and sharedresponsibility. This study aims to determine the impact of collaboration strategies on final-year students' perceptions of teamwork, sense of belonging, and self-efficacy through theanalysis of real cases and group dynamics developed in the Final Construction EngineeringPortfolio Course.

Geographic isolation isassociated with access barriers to professional development and a sense of professional isolation[5], [18].Contrary to the dominant storylines, some studies have found no disadvantage between rural andnon-rural teachers in terms of time devoted to professional development and collaborationopportunities [7]. Other studies found similar results in terms of student outcomes, with studentsfrom rural schools performing as well, or better, than their urban

More significant impacts include citation of service through DREAM inscholarship and fellowship applications. Most notable, two mentors have cited significantoutreach in NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program proposals, and these have beenhighlighted as positives in reviews of these proposals.
