In addition,TAs also defined active learning in terms of what it is not, namely, not passively listening tolectures or simply lecturing (N=12). Some TAs also defined active learning in terms of“interaction” (N=5). Some examples are listed below: “Having more than just a straight lecture-style of teaching, by engaging the students with lots of questions or activities such as multiple-choice questions, case studies, talk to a partner about a topic, write for a couple minutes by yourself about a topic, etc.” (1st term TA) “Students are actively engaged

Although the textbook scores at thelower end, eliminating it is not an option as it has been agreed by the team of faculty that the textbook isof fine quality and contains necessary content and reference material for the course in an appropriatesequence.Directed Research is also found in the Low/Low quadrant. This involves conducting patent searches,finding material to supplement case studies, and researching technical principles, and investigatingproduct development outside the textbook. These activities do not inherently offer the uninitiated first-year student the prospect of stimulating

This approach was chosenin reforming the tooling design and measurement course for manufacturing engineeringtechnology (MNET) students at the South Dakota State University (SDSU).Subjects in the course include jigs, fixtures, molds, tools and dies in various productionsettings, material selection, precision machining, manufacturing inspection equipment andtechniques, dimensional metrology and geometric conformance.

For the engineering community (faculty, advisors,administrators, and staff), understanding the experiences that contribute to international students’sense of belonging is essential as a sense of belonging has a positive impact on the students’academic integration and persistence in programs [20], [21], [32]. However, a recent study [29]reports that fewer facilitators of a sense of belonging exist within STEM doctoral programenvironments than in non-STEM programs.

potential participants [48].Fundamental to this community is a group of members (newcomers yet to engage) calledlegitimate peripheral participants (LPP), whose presence is tolerated by core experts. Wenger[51] later explored the importance of these dynamics, suggesting that non-participation isessential to the formation of identity, as it emphasizes one’s agency in how one chooses toparticipate. A sense of belonging is essential to the transition of LPPs to community engagementand recognition. CoP members cultivate a sense of belonging with the group through threemodalities: imagination (i.e., how can I see myself as a member?), engagement (i.e., how can Iparticipate in this community?), and alignment (i.e., how do my values align with

weredeveloped. The learning objectives were designed to fit within the telecommunications andorbital mechanics topic areas of astronautical engineering [35]. The telecommunications topic isbased around the processing and transfer of information [36]. Within the scope of aerospaceengineering, it is primarily focused on the transfer of data to and from satellites and spacemissions. The orbital mechanics topic often includes fundamentals such as the two-bodyproblem, orbital elements, and on-orbit maneuvers [37].To produce these learning objectives that fulfill these ABET topics, Bloom’s Taxonomyframework was used.

Some of the questions addressed in the report are, whether retention of students isharder in online courses, if the learning outcomes in online courses are comparable to face-to-face (F2F) courses, whether faculty acceptance of online education has increased, or the impact

Interleaved practice has beendemonstrated to improve student learning and retention of technical skills, though the literatureon this practice is smaller than others [5].Interleaved practice involves practicing already-learned material along with newly learnedmaterial. When all homework or quiz problems are bunched together, students expect that everyproblem must be a variant of the skill they are practicing. However, when homework or quizproblems draw from mixed material, students practice thinking through which solution methodsto use and how to apply what they know [5], [11].

Here we will assume alpha change has occurred.Clearly, intern students improved noticeably in fundamental skills across the summer. There isalso some value in comparing the group to other sets of students. Two studies used the samescales for assessing engineering student skills several years ago.

Numerousreports from industry indicate the need for “technology workers with more experience and abroader set of skills such as leadership and interpersonal communication skills.” 10Interestingly, these high knowledge gap areas are the very topics that could create a socialatmosphere that would retain women. If these topics were taught as integral parts of a computerscience program, the students would better see how these “other” skills are useful in the technicalarena. This approach is more complete than having students take separate courses in publicspeaking, technical writing, or management and expecting them to apply these skills to acomputer-related project.
