Faculty benefited from the learning communities by gaining perspective on howstudents think about learning and teamwork and by developing a closer relationship withstudents in their learning communities.IntroductionEngineers are increasingly being valued as much for their ability to learn new things and operateas a member of a team as for their technical skills. Indeed, accreditation of engineeringprograms depends on students attaining proficiency in functioning on multidisciplinary teamsand recognizing the need for and the ability to engage in life-long learning1. For these reasons, asignificant goal of engineering

Understanding better young people’s views on technology in FinlandIntroductionSeveral studies have reported that there are groups among young people that view technologydifferently from each other and thus have different motives for studying or opting out ofengineering. The contemporary youth are not only a diverse group in themselves, but they arealso quite different in certain respects from previous generations. Therefore, understandingthe perceptions and motives of young people is crucial in order to engage them in engineeringstudies. To advance the development of technology in the future, it is important not only toattract a sufficient number of young people, but also to achieve a diverse pool of applicants toensure

If they’re having difficulty with a course, they can take more time to study it. Student-centered - While students should read all of their classmates' contributions, they actively engage in only those parts of the dialog most relevant to their needs. In this way, students control their own learning experience and tailor the class discussions to meet their own specific needs. Level playing field - In the online environment
