The main focus of thesesurveys was to measure the program’s perceived impact on participants’ academic developmentin mathematics and whether or not the students are satisfied with their performance and studystyle. In order to get better measurement responses, participants were asked to write a reflectiveessay on why they did/didn’t perform well on their mathematics test. Their

like increased knowledge andretention in programs2. Understanding concepts leads to growth throughout higher education, socare must be taken to guide the correct understanding of course material. If the student is to learnthe course material, he/she must understand the fundamentals and be able to apply them in futurecontexts.Active learning is used as a method to reach such aims. Student activity and engagement are keyelements of active learning2. This contrasts with traditional lecture formats, where studentspassively receive information from the professor. Through inquiry based learning, students canactively engage by performing experiments and by learning in teams.The reason for this study is to help students gain a greater understanding of

The introduction of design-based learning approach to the literature occurred in the early 21stcentury by Doppelt9. Research indicates that the approach can enhance the learning outcomes ofengineering students10-11. While there is an integration between PBL and the design-project-basedapproach, it’s important to emphasize that the design project approach primarily focuses onaddressing design problems. This method utilizes PBL to enrich students’ learning experiences,specifically concerning on design, and manufacturing processes, leading to the creation of tangibleproducts or solutions. Notably, engineering design is recognized as a fundamental

empathic concern for the students. Theygrouped these into three fundamental themes namely, “(1) expressing care for the students asindividuals; (2) cultivating student learning; and (3) acknowledging the challenges ofengineering education” (p.174). Youmans also provided recommended actions that could fallwithin these experiences [15]. These recommended actions were provided to the participant inthis study to come up with similar empathetic actions. This work is helpful in understandingstudents’ perceptions of teacher empathy, but more work is needed to understand the faculty’sperspective when implementing empathetic actions. In this research, we begin to address this gapby exploring the faculty side of empathetic interactions in an engineering

As Woods et al (2000) 15write, “Focusing lectures, assignments, and tests entirely on technical course content andexpecting students to develop critical process skills automatically is an ineffective strategy.” Theauthors included a broad review of fundamental research that provides a foundation fordevelopment of process skills, including lifelong learning along with communication, teamwork,self-assessment, and change management.

James Towers:21 “Education that isoutcome-based is a learner-centered, results-oriented system founded on the belief that allindividuals can learn.” For Towers, OBE has four elements: clearly defined outcomes;achievement based measures; multiple assessment strategies; and sufficient time and assistancesupporting student achievement of outcomes. Engineering educators will recognize much ofABET in this description of OBE. It is worth repeating here Lorenzen’s comment that, byTowers’s own definition, OBE is in fact not learner centered, but fundamentally outcomecentered. Outcomes might or might not be learner centered. And, if Richard Berbach is right thatOBE lacks reflexivity,22 this might not be self-correcting.Identifying OBE’s ideological

Although the exact nature ofthese tasks may differ in terms of (1) subject matter, (2) time for performance, (3) flexibility orchoice of topics, and (4) the amount of external support for the student, they share the commoncharacteristic

The results of these assessments, as well as the ultimate framework of course, aredetailed in this paper.Introduction In the “flipped” classroom, the traditional lecture material is presented in advance ofclass, typically using online videos.

Rather,students’ responsibilities seemed to arise from an understanding of the mutual benefits of therelationships. Gilligan’s (1977) theory also centers on individuals orientations toward others.Gilligan’s model moves individuals from self-serving, to responsibility toward others, toinsightful balance between the two (28).
