private sector, often are employed in different ways. An example of the nuancesbetween academia and industry preparation is the differences between writing a resume versuswriting a curriculum vita. It becomes more difficult for a student with industrial careeraspirations to learn the distinctions in how to utilize common skills for different ends, andadapting skills learned for academia to industry often leave the student looking ill-prepared tomake the transition.Prior graduate student-led programs at CHNThe Center's faculty recognized many of these problems and asked the newly-formed GraduateStudent Council to develop an approach to tackle the situation. When the graduate student-ledprofessional development program was started in 2009, the

The recent introduction ofengineering into the K-12 curriculum in Massachusetts has increased interest amongeducators in assessing students’ knowledge of engineering as a result of intervention andoutreach. The “Draw a Scientist Test” (DAST) has been widely used to assess students’attitudes about scientists. To help assess students’ ideas about engineering before andafter intervention, we are developing a “Draw an Engineer Test” (DAET). This analysisfocuses on the results of the pilot study of students’ written and drawn responses to thequestion “What does an engineer do?”Introduction Images shape the way individuals view the world, thus, understanding the imagestudents have of engineers and engineering is extremely
enhancement for the SaturdayAcademy model was implemented in January 2000 to include an academic curriculum for high,middle, and elementary school students. The length of the program was increased. In addition, acoordinator was added for each school level and there was increased supervision and directionfrom the principal investigator and the professional staff director. Thus, the Saturday Academybecame a ten-week program for elementary, middle, and high school students held for five hourson Saturdays during the second semester of the academic school year. The goals for this newSaturday Academy infrastructure is to increase student motivation and performance in SEM;increase parent participation and involvement in the development of SEM students

Risk assessmentframeworks have a general theme of understanding the likelihood of risk of occurring andpredicting the impact if the risk were to occur [7]. This probability and impact analysis guidesscientists and engineers towards understanding the severity of the risk and implementingappropriate mitigation strategies or developing contingency plans as needed.

This course was created to address afaculty-identified curriculum weakness related to student understanding and application ofinstrumentation. It was also intended to improve student preparation for dynamic systems andcontrols. Measurement and instrumentation courses are often included in engineering curriculaeither as a stand-alone course [1, 2] or in conjunction with other topics in the curriculum [3, 4].This course was developed as a stand-alone course to supplement existing lab courses onmechanics, thermal sciences, and mechatronics.Concurrently with the development of the new Measurement Systems course, the LTU

Below we reiterate the overall approach and describe thedetails of the Sophomore Year implementation.Outline of the Teaming Thread and AssessmentOur approach is to develop team skills through a series of engineering design courses. Thecurriculum at Stevens Institute of Technology has a design or design-related course everysemester12 with the four courses in the freshman and sophomore years (Engineering Design 1thru 4) being of particular importance to the early development of various “soft skill” threads,including teaming. These first four design courses are core engineering curriculum courses; laterdesign courses in the sequence are disciplinary, culminating in the two-semester capstone designproject.The subject of team

Aftercollecting comments from the STEM departments, the project team started discussing new waysto support existing and novel non-course-based ramps into research and the development of newcomponents in existing department-specific courses that enhance student preparation for research.Another step is that, the STEM Center leadership team consulted with STEM faculty, departmentchairs, program coordinators, and upper administration to discuss the best ways of meeting theirneeds while serving as many of our students as possible. An idea of future 1 or 2 credit hour STEMseminar class that can be part of the Texas general core curriculum was suggested in a series ofmeetings with STEM faculty.The success of this STEM Center initiative will not

In spring 2013 we introduced significant changes to our required secondyear level semester-long design course aimed at teaching the ambit of BME research as well asdeveloping design principles and practices.BackgroundHistorically, this course has two main objectives: introducing new engineering students to thevast field of biomedical engineering and to developing designs with faculty andengineering/medical professionals. While looking for projects to assign our students in the springof 2013, we took a tour of our hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with aneonatologist who had

In 2006, the Kern Family Foundation named Dr. Carpenter a Kern Fellow for Entrepreneurial Education recognizing his efforts to bring innovative team based problem solving into the engineering curriculum to promote the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition to his work on ethics and entrepreneurial skills, Dr. Carpenter is an accredited green design professional (LEED AP) and practicing professional engineer. As founding Director of the Great Lakes Stormwater Management Institute, he conducts research on water management and routinely provides professional lectures/short courses on innovative stormwater treatment design and its role in Low Impact

Given one of the primary objectives of engineeringeducation is to train engineers for the engineering workplace, it is vital to determine whatconcepts are important to engineering design. This study is significant because itfundamentally advances the field by developing a cognitive model of conceptualunderstanding in civil engineers. Research on practicing engineers will yield a dramaticimpact on engineering educators and researchers by prioritizing the importance of certainconcepts and evidence of how they support/interfere with civil engineering design.

domains. Bloom later focused more on thecognitive domain, and this work, referred to as “Bloom’s taxonomy,” has been widely used byeducators and curriculum developers.17 Knowledge, attitude, and behavior are the mainindicators of each domain when researchers develop assessment. In general, knowledge isthought to be an outcome of learning, but knowledge can also be a guide for future learning.18Additionally, attitude is the most complex concept in terms of diverse definitions; however,mostly it refers to the growth of feelings and emotions attached to a particular action or thoughtwhich are related to behaviors.19Since behavior is considered more observable action, thefrequency of participants’ actions is commonly used to measure behavior.Each

Whilethe proposed workshop is targeted towards the development of a set of vetted learning outcomes,it is understood that the underlying core concepts and supporting pedagogies will need to beupdated in response to classroom feedback as well as evolution in the field of transportationengineering itself. One of the most important impacts of this course development effort may bethe establishment of a community of transportation educators who actively share course designs,curriculum materials, teaching methods, and assessment instruments.Bibliography1.
