The online part of thehybrid course was a series of interactive modules that demonstrate problem solutions (see Fig. 1) andallow students to practice solving similar problems in a step by step interactive scaffolded learningenvironment (see Fig. 2, 3). The problem demonstrations are chunked with a series of questions gaugingstudent comprehension of the key points (see Fig.4). Student performance in the step by step learningenvironment is augmented with explanatory feedback (see Fig.3). Figures 1-5 can be found in AppendixA. Each module is a stand-alone unit that can be used as preparation onsite sessions after the student hascompleted related reading of the text book. The

decades or so since the TELPhE division was founded from workshops held by theNational Academy of Engineering it seems, I would not wish to be dogmatic about this, tohave gone through three phases [1]. The first, was in the provision of engineering courses fornon-engineering students, and in particular as ‘minors’ [2]. This lasted, although excellentpapers continue to be submitted in this area of technology, until about 2014 when theDivision published a monograph on “Philosophical Perspectives on Engineering andTechnological Literacy” following the inclusion of ‘philosophy’ into its activities in 2013 [3].There was then a flurry of activity in the philosophy of engineering education, and three morevolumes were produced.

Examples of such student teams include theFormula SAE race team sponsored by SAE International, and the Concrete Canoe Competitionsponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. ECT provide some students opportunitiesto develop their engineering technical and professional skillset. However, students who areexcluded from participation, particularly students from underrepresented groups, do not haveaccess to these advantages. This paper stems from a multi-year mixed-methods research projectto investigate factors that contribute to the low diversity in ECT. Using a nationally distributedsurvey of engineering competition and service learning team members, we show that

Engineering students in these inter-professional teams are often addressing (and leading) the technical aspects of the project usingengineering approaches to problem solving.To take best advantage of this GenEd requirement and its potential impact in engineeringeducation, our college of engineering has been working to create projects that provideopportunities for students to address significant contemporary challenges that can benefit fromengineering solutions. This paper describes an “Urban Systems” inter-professional project coursethat (in the context of the themes of energy, heath, security and water) examines challengesposed by urban systems, proposes creative solutions, and forms innovation teams focused on

The camp first introduces students to the department throughfacilities tours and engagement with faculty and upperclassmen. During these facultyengagement sessions the students have an opportunity to meet their courses’ instructors, whooffer tips for success and answer questions before any coursework begins. Upperclassmen serveas student mentors during the camp, offering informal advice and support. The camp also servesas a point of contact between students and local industry representatives recruiting intern and co-op candidates. These local industry representatives offer valuable career-formation advice to thestudents by hosting resume review and mock

The collection of assignment essays for which the students gave consent wasanalyzed to determine the students’ opinions regarding the strength of the relationships betweentheir co-op assignments and the work they were doing in the Statics course. The result of thisessay analysis is discussed in the context of relevant literature and presents
education, technical education, andeducational psychology, detailing teaching methods that have been shown to facilitate moreeffective learning than the traditional single-discipline lecturing approach10, 2.The traditional instructor-centered method of education is considered passive learning, becausethe student passively receives information from the instructor in the form of a lecture, and thestudent learns by listening and observing passively, and/or taking notes as the lectureprogresses4. Under these conditions, internalization of the material is often realized throughmemorization. Although this passive transfer of knowledge has been the dominant method ofteaching, many educators argue that students need more than mere transfer of knowledge and

The content of theworksheet will be questions related to neuronal membrane concepts, ion channels, and the GHKmodel. They will discuss questions within the group, with the instructor or with the TA’s help.Before students start the experiment, they will be asked to discuss responses to the followingprompts: 1.
