Education, 2021 Peer teaching research group model for upper level environmental engineering class with student-led lectures and journal article discussionsAbstractAn upper level environmental engineering class focusing on hazardous waste and air pollutionwas organized to mimic a graduate school research group. It is an upper-level required class forenvironmental engineering majors. In most weeks of the MWF class, a different student eachweek prepared a lecture and taught that week’s material on Monday. On Wednesday the facultymember followed this up with more explanation and clarification. Friday was a class discussionof a journal article related to the topic. The student would prepare the lecture a week or so inadvance and faculty member

However, as programs can have diverse groups of students, supporting their successmay not be a one-size fits all. Our work focuses on a group we define as Returners, who spentfive or more years in industry before returning to university for a master’s degree. As part of alarger survey with approximately 300 engineering student participants who were pursuingmaster’s degrees, we asked them to evaluate the influence of their prior work experiences ontheir

should consider how to include more interactions with the entire audience.Selecting an assistant from the audience has a great impact on that one individual but does notprovide the same experience to the rest of the group. Discussions should be used along with anyof the other strategies. Education research suggest that students should talk to their neighbors orin groups about their ideas.[14], [15] Discussions are a fantastic way to end the event by callingon participants to talk about what they learned and what did or did not work. This is also the timeto clarify any misunderstandings, answer questions, and reemphasize the connection of theproject and objective(s).

limiting. Whether K-12 students should be assessed on theirunderstanding of technology (defined as anything human-made) and what technology is and isnot capable of is very contentious, in part due to various groups debating based on differingdefinitions. If students are not taught to be truly technological literate, they lack the capacity toassess properly issues such as whether to allow irradiated foods, stem cell research, and globalclimate change. The necessary critical thinking skills to make up for this lack are easily instilledthrough K-12 engineering education.One final item of concern is to discuss why engineering in K-12 education is important.
