21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn,unlearn, and relearn‖.Learning requires thinking that is a multi level activity. Bloom’s taxonomy has modeled that very well. It isconsidered to be a fundamental and essential idea within the education community as noted by H.G. Shane4andAnderson and Sosniak5. The taxonomy was revised in 2001 from its six levels that were originally devised inthe 1950s. It offers a language to qualitatively express different kinds of thinking and provides a way toorganize thinking skills into six levels from remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating andcreating. The taxonomy was adopted by Pohl6 for classroom planning and is regarded as one of the

Of note, students can selectively choose what to pay attention toduring F2F modes: lecture, group work, note-writing, board notes, etc. In contrast, during RS andRAS modes, faculty select the object of attention, and opportunities for interaction are reduced.This selective contrast may account for some of the mismatch between students and facultyregarding Swivl and RS instruction.For faculty, though RS courses may require less technology, it may be worth reflecting on howmuch classroom interaction, the physical act of creating notes on the whiteboard, and the visualstimulus of the instructor moving about the room really contribute to student learning andengagement.

Students must practice the fundamentals, and this is best done withclosed-ended problems of manageable scope. However, students may not perceive that suchproblems are deeply meaningful or inspirational, even if effort is made to relate the problem toindustry. The author is optimistic that student engagement in unstructured active problem-solving sessions would be higher in a course where the instructional team acted as coaches forlarger, open-ended, societally impactful problems (ideally sourced by the students)[11].When generating the videos for the first iteration of the course, the

Engineering doctoral students play differentroles while in the process of earning their doctoral degrees, performing research and teachingwhile still students themselves, yet treating these as separate roles without any seeming overlap.Examining the current state of teaching and research at the graduate level is a fundamental stepin explaining why both should receive focus when preparing doctoral students to create aprofessional and cohesive faculty identity.

It is well accepted that education is an aggregate of both intellective (cognitive) and non-intellective(affective) processes. Therefore, these internal characteristics are further classified into two sub-categories:cognitive characteristics and affective characteristics.
