It depends on class timeavailable, course goals/objectives, and instructors’ predilections. The choice of either a macro ormicroethical approach can help determine the most appropriate cases for classroom examinationdiscussion.In reviewing the literature, several trends emerge. Criteria for selection include the following:• Meet course goals [15]• Include enough information to allow for credible discussion [15]• Focus on one problem [15]• Have

Participantsranged from novice to experienced technology users. In-service and pre-service teachers with amean of 5.8 years of experience participated in this case model. The purpose of the study was toexplore the viability of the hybrid format. The participants provided extensive data that included450 online discussion postings, 105 journal postings, and 12 self-reflection summaries. Thesedata were analyzed for emergent themes and revealed “substantial dialogue and a rich learningexperience can be created in online classrooms” 18, p.236. Based on King’s research

Engineering Economics and how the learning outcomes compare to courses usingtraditional textbooks.2. BackgroundTextbooks in Engineering Economics are often priced between $59 and $150 USD, creatingbarriers for students and prompting the use of informal resources. Research has shown thattextbook costs negatively impact student success, with some students opting not to purchaserequired texts [4][5]. Within engineering disciplines, where consistency in notation and conceptscaffolding is crucial, reliance on fragmented resources can impede learning. OER are free,openly licensed materials designed to be reused, adapted, and shared. Studies have demonstratedthat OER can support student learning outcomes equivalent to those achieved with commercialtextbooks

Because engineering stands at theintersection of STEM disciplines, many of these challenges and strategies are especiallyrelevant to engineering educators, who navigate unique complexities in bridging theoretical,design, and practice-based content. In addition, the findings align closely with the mission ofthe Faculty Development Division and may inform faculty development initiatives aimed atbroadening the adoption and efficacy of active learning in engineering and the broader STEMcommunity.IntroductionActive

challenging additions to thelearning experience. However, the questions still remain: -Are We Asking Our Students to Do Too Many Projects? -Has the use of projects to meet external customer requirements had a negative impact on the learning experience of our internal customers?In order to gain insight and more definitive answers to these questions, members of theEngineering Technology program at the University of Dayton conducted a survey ofengineering technology programs nationwide. An analysis of the results, as well assuggestions for improvement are included in this paper.Survey ResponseThroughout November and December we received 50 responses to our survey questions.Those responding were from a variety of programs including but

Based on these results, adoptingItasca’s model of block scheduling could improve the student time to graduation and graduationrates at institutions across the nation.IntroductionAccording to the U.S. Congress, building a larger and more diverse workforce educated inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics is a critical national imperative for thetwenty-first century1. Increasing the number of engineers will first require increasing the numberof engineering students, and one way to do that is to “tap into the pool of students pursuingengineering science studies at community colleges, who could then transfer to four-yearinstitutions, where they could pursue baccalaureate or advanced degrees”2.
