of flow diagram; second, how to mechanically write syntactically correct code. Werealize the abstraction of logic is the key to successful coding. Typically students rush to codedirectly without comprehending the logic. Therefore, they lack a clear definition of the problemthey are trying to solve and a plan of action for how to solve the problem. As one instructionalmethod, we ask students to generate diagram of their logic. Then, we introduce pseudo peerdiagrams to reinforce the construction of visual representations as a roadmap to coding. Weconjecture that pseudo peer diagrams are an effective tool to foster students’ self-check strategywhich reduces instructors’ need to process large amount information generated by students inreal time

In the field ofeducation, it has been applied to the analysis of student essays to provide feedback, teamworkreview analysis, and students’ feedback loop [1], [3], [9]. Another application is in the generationof natural language text (e.g., machine translation systems use NLP to translate text from onelanguage to another) [10].

DepoliticizationA number of authors have argued for the value of understanding the discipline andprofession of engineering as a culture4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Cech,2 expressing this perspective,writes: Engineering, like other professions, is not just a collection of knowledge, skills, and practices grouped into a set of jobs. Professions have rich and historically- rooted cultures that are built into and around their knowledge, skills, and practices. Professional cultures are the sets of beliefs, myths, and rituals that give meaning to the intellectual content and practices of a profession. (p. 69)Cech goes on to argue that integral to engineering culture are its “cultural ideologies,”that is, “ways of understanding society and

).The winds of change in engineering education have been blowing for some time, and thequestion arises “Why hasn’t more change occurred faster?” Wulf’s (2002) “hypothesis is simplythat the faculty don't believe that change is needed. They are following the wise adage, 'if it ain'tbroke, don't fix it.' If one hasn't had recent experience in industry, …, and if the change is amosaic in multiple dimensions whose pattern is hard to discern, then the fact that it's 'broke' isnot easy to see." This allegation of resistance from faculty is ironic given Koen’s (2003) claimthat change is fundamental to engineering; in fact it is an integral part of his definition of theengineering method – “the use of heuristics to cause the best possible change in a

Everything an instructor chooses to write on thewhiteboard and where it is placed should convey an underlying alignment. Arranging content theway in which we normally access content – moving from left to right, and from top to bottomand across – can keep the focus on the content. Intentionally leaving gaps or blanks at strategicplaces on the board can serve as a powerful mechanism for encouraging the viewer to fill in theinformation and thus be more engaged in learning the content.We are wired to solve puzzles, and this can be leveraged to have students reach for their pensand calculators to solve a given

The first is to increase the interest in engineering and computerscience by students (especially women and underrepresented minorities) at the communitycolleges, to ease the transition of such students from the community college to the university,and to retain and to graduate engineering community college transfer students through events onall six campuses. The second goal is to build a model collaboration between a university and acommunity college system for engineering students.This paper will describe the activities that have

Engineering education researchers have sought to study facets and intersections ofracism [1-8], heteropatriarchy [4-10], capitalism [5, 6, 10], and militarism and colonization [8,11] within engineering. In many ways, engineering education researchers have shown how thesefacets are fundamental to what is currently considered engineering epistemology.

[18] In this approach, “both facilitators and learners become activeparticipants in the educational process; the hierarchy between facilitators and learners iseliminated; a sense of community is created; knowledge is created, not transferred; [and]knowledge is considered to be located in the community rather than the individual.” [19]Closely aligned with this is cooperative learning, the “instructional use of small groupsthrough which students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning.”[20] It typically relies upon formal short

Such opportunities are fundamental to the development of students’ ways of thinkingand knowing that help them to prepare for the profession.

presentation of the engineering design process in engineeringtextbooks has undergone subtle changes. While the majority of model diagrams remain linear,some departures can be seen—for example, cyclical diagrams in textbooks by Burghardt5 (p.33)and by Eide, Jenison, Mashaw, and Northrup 6 (p.81) (see Figure 2). The circular arrangement ofsteps does not fundamentally alter the steps’ content, but underscores the central role of iterationin design. While the nonlinear, flexible nature of design is long-established,7 it is increasinglyforegrounded in introductory textbooks, along with communication and concurrent engineering.Teamwork is presented as both an asset and reality of work today.

In addition, At the University X, the failing (DFW) rate for Dynamics have beenaround 21% in average for the past 10 years (this translate in around 200 students failing peryear), reaching sometimes even 37% (Figure 1).

As Lasch writes in the foreword to David Noble’s America By Design,“the professionalization of engineering and the establishment of engineering education as arecognized branch of higher learning forged a link between the corporation and the universitythat remains unbroken to this day,” [11]. It has been well documented that engineering collegeand university programs significantly constrains sociopolitical understandings amongstengineering students through a focus on technical education to meet the demands of industry (seefor example [1]; [3]; [12]; [13]; [14]). One element of this touched on within the groupinterviews presented here is a significant absence of labor education and in turn, the relativerarity of unionized engineers and low

Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering
