Indeveloping countries, there is a high competition among students for getting into universities.Therefore, some students may not be willing to share information in that environment and do notrealize the fact that they will learn more by sharing their information and discussing their problems.A cooperative teamwork environment should be created for the student to understand that thestudents will benefit from being exposed to each other’s perspectives and will learn from each otherin addition to learning from the instructor. In this paper we want to share our experience ofteamwork projects given to our students in a database
Page 22.1440.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 The Development of an Instructional and Assessment Tool From Student Work on a Model-Eliciting ActivityAbstractModel-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) are interdisciplinary, engineering based problems set in arealistic context with a client. MEAs allow researchers and teachers to observe students’development of conceptual models as they go through the cycle of express, test, and revise withtheir solutions. MEAs are being used increasingly in K-College level classes. Research tools thatcan be used for instruction and assessment with MEAs are needed. This paper will describe thedevelopment of such a research tool. Cognitive Task
pastseveral years have resulted in three clear messages. First, teachers will not integrate a set ofdisjointed high technology materials and examples into their courses. Second, any materialsprovided must match the time constraints associated with typical lecture formats. Finally, anynew educational resources must be consistent with the guidelines of a state approved curriculum.Cognizant of these constraints, our team of educators set about the development of technologybased modules that could be used by high school faculty to enhance the presentation of theirscience and mathematics topics.This paper presents some of the lessons learned in the development of our first two modules.Insights gained through the module development process are presented

incorporate project based learning as a tool to achievegoals through making learning relevant and exciting! In implementing rigorous teaching andlearning requires a balanced approach to teaching, where teachers must strike a balance betweenlower levels of learning (such as the identification of facts) and higher levels of learning wheredeeper understanding of the subject knowledge is required. Engineering projects naturallyincorporate a real-world context for STEM concepts to be applied, as mathematics and scienceare tools utilized by engineers. When those projects allow for open-ended approaches andsolutions, they require students to think creatively integrate their knowledge from a variety ofclasses.Each high school working with the center has a

There is opportunity for further explorationwith respect to a holistic model to expand work by Günsel and Açikgöz beyond softwaredevelopment projects to engineering projects in general.The measure of engineering management effectiveness used in this paper is the completion of anassigned task to meet a set of specifications within a provided time constraint. The paperinvestigates two variables: awareness of team development stages3 and use of electronics.Tuckman’s work regarding team development in small groups is simple to explain, well knownand well cited. Thus it is considered an appropriate choice for a classroom experiential learningexercise. With students today being inseparable from their technology of choice, the researcherswere also

The remainder of this paper will discuss the history and purpose of NASA’sPre-Service Institute, provide a detailed description of the curriculum, and examine the results ofthe experience.NASA’s Pre-Service Teacher InstituteNASA recognized a need to increase the number of well-qualified teachers and engage more K-12 pre-service teachers in the improvement of mathematics and science teaching. The Pre-Service Teacher Institute (PSTI) was initiated through NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC)several years ago in collaboration with Norfolk State University (Virginia). The basic purpose ofthe program is to provide minority education majors from minority institutions

questions wereincorporated from Tomsen and Disinger [38].For each student response (pre-course and post-course), the data from parts A through C weresummarized by six scores: 1. An overall “Knowledge/Understanding of Environmental Problems” (KNO) score was computed from the responses to the ten items in Part A, by taking the number of items the student responded “Yes,” and dividing by 10 to obtain a proportion. 2. The 24 items in Part B—measuring value or attitude toward environmental behavior— were divided into three “Environmentally Responsible Behavior” scores (K-ERB, V- ERB, and O-ERB), and an “Active Ecological Behavior” (K-AEB) score, as displayed in Table 1. The prefixes of K, V, and O refer to Korfiatis
spectrum of learning and research work beyond theirdisciplinary domain. In this paper, we will discuss the three following primary areas: 1) the workof these 12 REU fellows that contributed to the development of the present LEWAS lab, 2) theinterdisciplinary experience gained by these undergraduates by working in the LEWAS lab, and3) the lessons learned from the authors though their experiences assisting the REU fellows intheir research work.Background of the LEWAS lab The LEWAS lab has a field site (Figure 1), which is located at the outlet of a small creek(Webb Branch) that flows through the Virginia Tech campus8. This stream joins a water qualityimpaired stream Stroubles Creek9. The Webb Branch was chosen as the site of the lab because
benefits of industry integration in capstone projects are documented in prior literature.However, student led teaming with industry partners further enhances student learning in thefollowing program outcomes identified in the ‘a’ through ‘k’ ABET criteria as follows: (c) an ability to design a system ….within realistic constraints. As students explore and define the capstone project, they gain an understanding for the real life constraints such as budget, schedule, etc. (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Most engineering courses focus on solving the problem. The capstone experience is an ideal opportunity to allow students the experience of identifying and formulating the
graphic novel genre growing with pieces like “Maus”19 or“Science Comics.”18 Regardless, there are many benefits to implementing comics in the classroom.Comics are first less expensive than textbooks and other multimedia resources. Furthermore,comics allow for the readers to interact with the pages through moving dialogues, creative visuals,and various characters. These aspects of comics allow for higher engagement and better retentionas opposed to walls of text presented by textbooks.Comics may also allow for the promotion of greater representation in curricula through its form asmore diverse and inclusive learning tools. With diversity in a field comes higher levels ofinnovation4, so having learning tools act as voices for K-12 students
towards technology and its practice of production.Second, Making has implications for how we teach STEM concepts to students in K-12education. Making, in attribution to its close interaction with materials and use of technologies,provide learning experiences where students can engage and apply science concepts firsthand inways that are not as immediately understood within a traditional lecture-based classroom. Inaddition, active engagement with STEM concepts through Making can aid in the development ofstudents’ own self-efficacy with STEM aligned concepts. While there has been recognition ofthese conferred benefits of Making towards STEM for K-12 education, supportive frameworkssuch as LittleBits 33 , Lego Mindstorms 34 make it difficult for
importance of schools and families working together to ensure student success [6].While it’s never too late to get students engaged in STEM, getting middle school studentsinvolved with hands-on technologies learning generally produces a more strategic and inquisitiveapproach towards STEM as student’s advance through high school and beyond [7]. Based onthese previous research findings, this project posits that meaningful outcomes in Hispanicstudent appreciation and understanding of STEM disciplines can best be achieved by engagingmiddle school students in inquiry-centered after-school programs that are designed to enhancemiddle school students’ engagement, and are reinforced by family involvement.

, I came to my vocation in engineering education as a teacher first anda researcher much later. A critical incident happened in my 5th year teaching, long after I wascomfortable and fluent in the classroom. During a circuits tutorial, I suddenly had the sensationthat something beyond me was teaching through me. I already regularly dropped into flow state12with this particular class, but that night was different; although I was agnostic at the time, Icouldn’t shake the phrase “moved by the spirit” from my mind.The funny thing was that this “spirit” had nothing to do with increasing student skill or contentmastery, which was how I thought about “good teaching” at the time. Instead, I felt like a dancertransported to the side of a master

Consequently, this contributes to the continuousimprovement of educational resources within engineering programs, fostering a more robust andmodern teaching environment, and providing engineering students with cutting-edge resources.Through the integration of capstone projects centered on equipment improvements, and guidedby faculty teaching respective courses, students engage in a comprehensive learning experiencethat goes beyond theoretical understanding.
