When the physics of sound was beingtaught in second grade, she held a session on the science content behind waves and vibration, andpitch and frequency. This type of session has proven to be most effective for professionaldevelopment time during the school year, because it provides grade level specific dynamicfeedback in that it can be structured to provide immediately address issues and concerns in realtime vs. reviewing it later.

for undergraduate engineering programs toincorporate education of standards, a survey of universities in the United States in 2003concluded that this topic is a low priority and that “the Schools of Engineering in the UnitedSates do yet not accept the critical nature of standards in the new 21st century global economy”[4]. By contrast, several Asian countries place a much higher priority on education of standards,with some promoting awareness of standards as early as grade school [5].To address deficiencies in standards education in the United States, a Standards in EducationTask Force, made up of industry engineers and educators, worked to develop a set ofrecommendations in 2003. These recommendations suggested that engineering students

The emphasiswill be completely different from biotechnology courses taught in many biologydepartments, which tend to emphasize the production of commercial products, not publichealth, waste treatment, or pollutant transformation. The course covers a broad range ofmaterial; therefore, it was critical to carefully choose topics and present new topics at apace that facilitates student assimilation of material and stimulates their interest. Theproposed course will provide a strong background for Biological Process Engineeringcourses that emphasize the design of biological processes using reactor concepts,substrate utilization and cell growth kinetics, and
majors but the total enrollment in that program (approximately 50 majors)means that the number of students participating is fairly low. These programs will obviously notget as much meaningful data as others. In looking at all the other programs, the response rates foremployers are consistent across the majors.One concern that we had in implementing this system was that we did not want it to negativelyimpact the response rates on the student assessment that co-op employers were alreadyproviding. During the four semesters preceding the introduction of this survey, the averageresponse rate for the assessment was 85% (ranging from 80% in the summer to 92% during fall2004). In the three semesters that we have used the new survey, the initial

These issues can limit the duration for which students can safely use VR,posing a restriction on its potential as a primary instructional tool. The immersive nature of VRmay also contribute to increased cognitive load, as students must manage the complexity of thevirtual environment while focusing on the educational content, which can impact attention andlearning outcomes.Finally, there is a learning curve associated with VR for both educators and students. Teachersneed training to use VR effectively, as many are not familiar with the

for teacher educators and in-service teachers.Current issues of concern for the overall academic K-12 education subjects have developed dueto low nationwide performance in mathematics and science subjects, and a general absence of K-12 programs that motivate and prepare students to consider engineering as a career option.8Recently, the field of technology education has attempted to address these concerns byincorporating engineering concepts into its educational schema, thereby providing a formalstructure for synthesis of science, mathematics, and technology. The recently developedStandards for Technological Literacy (STL) “defines what students should know and be able todo in order to be technologically literate and provides standards that

The environment in the campus is also a decisive factor and issues such asaccommodating education and family (childcare). The elimination of harassment, sexism, anddiscrimination will have a positive impact on the retention of women who have chosen to beengineers. Active participation of woman is also desired to make sure that their perspectives andneeds are adequately reflected in the governance of the profession. The women student enrollmentand retention are even more important when there is a projected decline in male high schoolstudents.

student engagement in, high-enrollment, mathematically-intensive upper-yearengineering courses.Introduction and MotivationTraditionally, engineering education has been characterized by one-way information flow froman expert faculty member to a passive classroom audience. Gauging student understanding isdifficult, especially in large classes, due to the relatively small number of students who askquestions. Lecture time remaining after delivery of theory is usually devoted to instructor-worked examples, with the expectation of students following the explanations in real time.Missing from the lecture experience is the students attempting to solve problems with theinstructional team present for coaching. In the interests of time, we leave the
asa model to design new prototypes, which reflects the pertinence of DT in education.Nonetheless, in the Asian context, there is little research concerning applying DT inengineering education.The EDIPT modelSome popular DT models are Simon's three-stage linear, IDEO, and EDIPT models. Initially,DT courses in engineering and design were based on Simon's three-stage linear model,including analysis, synthesis, and evaluation [9]. IDEO expanded the DT model through aniterative Discover, Interpretation, Ideation, Experimentation, and Evaluation cycle toinnovate design work [41]. Stanford University's Educational Design Lab further integratedDT into curriculum and teaching practices by proposing the EDIPT model, currently the mostwidely adopted in
