Possessing solid communication skills isparticularly important for students aspiring to technical careers such as those involved in physicsand engineering. The application of writing-based approaches in the classroom can help toimprove students’ communication skills.The current study was, in part, motivated by changes currently underway to the GeneralEducation Program at American University. As a result of these changes to the program, a newset of learning outcomes were created and courses aspiring to be included in the programofferings were tasked with making innovative changes to both the

One must figure out the passion and iteration on the product, the new creation,and who the audience is.Imagine the experience as a student in the class: Jon walks into the classroom and sits down at the long seminar table. He quietlysuggests that while he is feeling confident about what he has done in his accomplishmentsat school, coordinating early seed funding for his start-up, he is not feeling so good aboutwhat is next for him. During the first moments of class, Jon begins his story, “This is my last class. Iam fulfilling my final credits for the graduate program in Mechanical Engineering,” Hecontinues his story in a comfortable, conversational manner, and quietly leads

) workforce andattracting diverse students into STEM disciplines have become issues of national importance.One method to aid in achieving this goal is through offering pre-college interventions tounderserved students. This paper discusses and examines a novel pre-college STEM interventionthat occurs at a technical engineering research conference. The intervention consists of a mini-workshop that has six components: (1) an introduction of graduate student mentors, (2) a generalintroduction to the engineering field of Smart Material and Structures through a PowerPointpresentation and live demonstrations of smart materials, (3) a low-cost design and buildengineering activity that uses smart materials to demonstrate the applicability of the field

Many programs are also seeking toanswer this call by integrating more hands-on activities and active learning in lower-divisioncourses, which require more facilitation than the traditional large lectures. This sharply increasesthe need for teaching resources compared to traditional, large-lecture format courses. Because oftime and budget constraints, more and more engineering graduate students are assuming teachingresponsibilities, especially in introductory courses.In 2007, the last year for which data are available, more than 70,000 full-time graduate studentsin science and engineering

The students indicated that working withEOQs was easy because you could “fill in the blank with the answer instead of working step-by-step.” This observation may be because students maybe getting some their answers from a Javaapplet on the internet or writing a short MATLAB program.

This approach encourages students to choose specific careers and remain in their respective career preparation programs. Learning environments and experiences set in professional contexts open students’ minds, enabling them to become more thoughtful, participative members of society and the workforce. Moreover, a contextual learning approach assists students in learning how to monitor their own learning so that they can become self-regulated learners.”52 As a point of
