technological changescreate new realities, new needs and new challenges every day. Moreover, the work of theteacher is immersed in that scenario, a teacher who in many cases did not receive teachingtraining. This has generated a change in the role of teachers in the process of trainingprofessionals and, in fact, a change in the role of students too.There is a call for a shift from a teaching practice centered on the teacher as a provider ofinformation to a learning centered on the students’ needs and learning outcomes. On onehand, teachers must abandon the role of providers of knowledge; and on the other, studentsmust also abandon the role of passive information receivers that has characterized highereducation for a long time. However, this change of

Although the studentsparticipating in this project pledged not to discuss their work with each other face to face, theywere certainly familiar with each other, if only because they attended class together. “Remotelylocated” team members likely had an informal rapport with each other that may have increasedthe effectiveness of their communications efforts at the outset of the project. This factor mayhave led to the final outcome of this study, which found that the distance technology did notsignificantly impact the final quality of the teams’ work positively or negatively, at least in thisparticular instance. Because their course was limited to one section of students collocated at WPI, the authors ofthat study

Onthe one hand, it increases the demand for technical talents and provides moreopportunities, especially for engineering students. On the other hand, it also brings greatchallenges to them. Therefore, how to promote engineering graduates’ employmentquality has become one of the most important issues.

factors do engineering graduates identify as influential to their professional identities? How do these factors vary by race and gender?Conceptual FrameworkOur conceptual framework is made up of 3 identity theories: personal identity theory, roleidentity theory, and social identity theory [21-24]. These theories allow us to interpret thedifferent ways in which the engineering graduates in our sample are narrating their professionalidentities. For the purpose of this study, we understand identity formation as a cognitive process,where one forms their identity through an exchange of information between oneself, their socialinteractions and the environment [25]. People tend to have varied awareness of this process,narrating their identities

This task force spent several years on interdisciplinary researchinvestigating the links between manufacturing and innovation in the U.S. and the globaleconomy. The researchers were essentially trying to answer one big question: “What productioncapabilities do we need to fuel innovation and to realize its benefits in good new jobs, newenterprises, and sustainable growth?”Two books that have emerged thus far from the MIT PIE research efforts include Making inAmerican: From Innovation to Market,13 and Production in the Innovation Economy.14 Thebooks argue that learning and innovation takes place as companies actually produce goods; asprototypes become demonstrations and then commercial products, and

It is this very problem that surfaced in your story about the Art Education studentand the engineering students when the engineering student said something to the effect of“you’re the Art Education major, how about we just build it and you make it pretty”. I rememberthat day as the group sat silent for the last portion of class and the Art Education student stayedafter class to discuss her frustration with this experience. If STEAM initiatives are to fulfill theirpotential, there must be more than a superficial arts incorporation—there

A future engineering workforce lacking a diversity of perspectives may alsobe ill equipped to recognize the needs of a diverse society. In attempts to better understand why the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields are experiencing such a loss of able students, many researchers haveturned their focus to the choices, achievement, and interests of students in the fields. As a result,many studies have emerged demonstrating a clear link between students’ self-efficacy beliefsand their persistence,1-8 achievement,2, 8-13 and interest2, 9-13 in the fields. Introduced by Banduraas a part of his social cognitive theory, self-efficacy beliefs describe
thefactors that support and hinder productive collaboration can facilitate more widespread cross-disciplinary collaboration.A number of related theories might serve to explain the difficulties researchers encounter whenattempting cross-disciplinary collaboration. Sociological theories that emerged during the 1970sdescribe physical sciences and engineering as fields with high levels of consensus with respect toterminology, methods and important questions, in contrast with social sciences and humanitiesdisciplines which feature less consensus6. A wide range of differences between these broadcategories of disciplines has subsequently been explained using disciplinary consensus as theindependent variable, including: publication length7, numbers of
