c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 The MIT Lewis Survey: Creating a Cold War Blueprint for a Technological University, 1947-1949Amidst the structural changes and the “reengineering” of higher education, historical perspectivecan provide us with a vantage point from which to reflect upon the many changes we are seeingtoday. In my talk, I approach this opportunity through a study of MIT’s Committee onEducational Survey, or the “Lewis Survey,” whose 1949 report is regarded by many as the ColdWar “blueprint” for MIT. Rooted in conversations that originated within our society, MITfaculty members embraced the notion of a broader and more fundamental approach toengineering education, even as they

Two of the STEM programs that we have studied for our research employed suchpedagogical support through targeted advisement and mentorship, and found it effective inhelping students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. This is fundamentally differentfrom the segmented departments of recruiting, admissions, advising, academic support, degreeprogress, bursar, and academic departments with which students must negotiate (ofteninteracting with virtual strangers in one-off encounters) in other community colleges and, for thatmatter, universities.(3) Classroom and Program Performance Support.

Students triangulate their impact claimsthrough day-in-the-life scenarios, participatory observation, and surveys; any claim made on theimpact of a technology has to be substantiated through three different methods of observation14(in private conversations).Socio-technical systems exhibit several important characteristics.

]. The 2009 paper detailed initial findings ofthe project which include students showing a lack of internalization of professional ethics despite therebeing, “much real engineering ethics being taught” [21, p. 13], and students not seeming resistant to ethicseducation. As research continued, eight more institutions were included in the data set [11]. This studyindicates that although students identify a high quantity and quality of ethics during their undergraduatecourses, the lack of ethics knowledge amongst students indicates there is still a disconnect in studentinternalization of ethics knowledge. The study assesses this knowledge through responses to five ethicsquestions based on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exams. The focus on

So more clear communication on these issues is important.Clearly outlining the necessity for requiring an M/30 prior to professional licensure will beimportant. The reasons that students used in their writings may provide insight into thearguments that they found most compelling. It is important that this message comes fromindustry and practicing engineers rather than academia.

The professor would go through a problem with the students watching and listening andasking questions. Then after the problem was solved, the students would copy the problem fromthe whiteboard. Many students seen by this professor cannot effectively listen to a lecture, watchwhat is written, and write notes at the same time. Therefore, the slower lecture technique wasutilized to allow students to listen and watch, and then to write their notes.

a common approach to this is designing conceptinventories that are intended to assess students’ conceptual understandings andmisunderstandings [4, 5].Our purpose in this paper is to investigate an instructional innovation—collaborative quizzes—and understand its role in supporting student development and learning. We detail our reason fordesigning a collaborative assessment—as a means to align assessment to other socio-constructivist learning approaches already adopted. Although others have previously studiedforms of collaborative assessment, we contribute research on a less studied form, andadditionally provide a stronger theoretical backing for the approach: co-regulation.Learning is a fundamentally social processResearch on how people
