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.

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

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.

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.

, 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.
