The final day of week one was reserved for adiscussion session about the research reading on TPACK and additional topics raised by theteachers. This subsection will detail the observations and changes to the modeling unit.First IterationOn the beginning of the second day the teachers were introduced to the unit on modeling (NGSS:MS-ETS1-3, 4). The purpose of this unit is for students to be able to model a physical systemand make predictions about its behavior. Students will also be introduced to the concept of centerof gravity and its role in a system’s behavior. To help teachers promote student engagement

A one hour introduction to the laboratory, requiredof all students enrolled in courses that will use the space, is offered once every semester.

Exploring Michigan and Michigan Engineering 3. Self-Understanding.As suggested by these themes, through the course, students gain exposure to engineeringdisciplines, engineering contributions to society, the interdisciplinary nature of engineering,engineering as both a technical and social discipline, experiential learning opportunities, personalstrengths, ethics, values, social identity, visioning and decision-making. The content that studentsexplore within these themes is intended to encourage the development of self-authorship, acritical foundation

the boss wants to know why a team member is not meeting deliverables and the plan ofaction on the part of the technical lead. This is sticky/awkward because tech leads want toencourage their teams and they only have a dotted line reporting structure to their teams - theboss has the hardline reporting and thus more authority - so this kind of feedback needs to bedone just right.

2013, we initiated a research internship for area high school students. In collaboration with alocal Governor’s School, we developed the Dean’s Early Research Initiative (DERI), which isaimed at area high school students and also fulfills the requirements of the Governor’s Schoolinternship experience. This initiative provides opportunities to enhance high school andundergraduate students’ exposure to engineering research, but also provides undergraduate andgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows with training in mentoring [2] [3] [4]. In addition tothe benefit to the students [5] [6] [7], this outreach activity is being explored as an opportunity toraise awareness of our school [8] [9].DERI fellows are required to work a total of 60 hours

beliefs.R1: Having had the opportunity to have lived in several countries and the chance to experiencedifferent cultures, I think it is important to educate people on cultural dexterity. As an engineer,we should not only focus on our technical skills growth, but also to develop ourselvesprofessionally, and be able to handle situations where we have to interact with someone with adifferent cultural/social/racial/religious background. The ability to respect someone else’spractices and culture, while still staying true to one’s own cultural identity is possible if both theparties are aware of and respect the differences. I believe through workshops and training sessions,this can definitely be achieved, as people become more aware of their implicit (and

At each stage of the process, the students were assisted inre-evaluating their goals. In this paper, we present a report of our participation in twoDrawing with Robots events. This experience report summarizes the design ofthe activity, the lessons learned in its execution and a description of the engineering skillstaught during these sessions. We found that the

But research lookinginto the preparedness of early post-grads has raised some concerns, with the Institute ofEngineering and Technology reporting that up to half of engineering students graduatewithout enough of the technical or interpersonal skills required by potential employers[3].This leaves three groups in a tough situation: companies looking to hire who need to quicklyupskill new employees[4], Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) who have to rapidly adjustcurriculums to meet the ever changing demands[5], and, most importantly, new graduateswho must take on

listeningcharacteristic of traditional lectures. The disparity in these experiences is one of many reasonsthat several undergraduate engineering subjects are taught with both lecture and lab sessions inparallel. At the University of Delaware, Vibrations and Controls is a junior level class inmechanical engineering that has a 3 credit lecture and 1 credit lab that are co-requisites, but arenot required to be taken in the same semester. This offers a unique opportunity to analyze studentperformance for the three distinct groups of students enrolled in lab only, lecture only, andlecture plus lab. We hypothesized that students in the lecture plus lab group would have highergrades in the lecture course than the students enrolled only in the lecture. Our results

Thefour technical content modules in the course were: 1) conservation of mass, 2) fluid flow(pipes, fittings, and pumps for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids), 3) fan selection, and 4)thermal preservation while developing. Problem-solving skills development was a cross-cutting outcoming. The course also strongly emphasized students’ professional skilldevelopment. This emphasis complemented the development of students’ process
