Paper ID #14945Seeking New Perspectives: Engineers Experiencing Design through CreativeArtsDr. David M. Beams, University of Texas - Tyler Dr. David Beams first became interested in electrical engineering through a passion for amateur radio in high school. He earned BSEE and MS degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1974 and 1977, respectively, with two years of industrial experience separating the two. He then spent over fourteen additional years in industry before returning to graduate study, receiving a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997. In 1997, he became one of the

Through the history of the engineering pipeline, students learnhow engineering education reform in the 1980s was a response to an image of Japan as aneconomic threat to the American nation. Students analyze how engineers in policy-makingpositions used engineering-problem solving methodology to respond to the threat and developedthe engineering pipeline to demonstrate the need to educate thousands of engineers for economiccompetitiveness.

Resistance to Active Learning Through Instructor Development: Project UpdateIntroduction This work-in-progress paper will provide an update on our research studying instructordevelopment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms. Theoverall aim of this study is to increase the adoption of active learning in STEM classrooms. Wedefine active learning as any time an instructor engages students in the course content in waysthat go beyond simply lecturing to their students while their students are passively taking notes(e.g., think-pair-shares, in-class group projects). Previously, active learning has been shown toimprove student retention rates, grades, and understanding of course material

Through thisprocess students see that physics applies not only to the ideal case but to all cases. It is a lso achance to motivate the study of future topics. For example, by questioning what will happen tothe motion graphs as the ramp angle approaches a horizontal or vertical inclination, thediscussion moves naturally into free fall. Or, stated in a different way, how is the motion of a Page 7.1255.5 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition

In order to be contributing members of a field, graduate students need to learn and developin areas beyond just the core technical competencies of their field. Opportunities for achievingthis development exist throughout their graduate studies, but students do not always recognize orunderstand how to use these opportunities. To productively steer student development, someresponsibility falls on the student’s academic advisor to guide and support the student growthprocesses. Traditionally, when considering the relationship between student and advisor,researchers have almost exclusively focused on examining the development of the student[1][2][3][4] or assessing the student’s satisfaction with

In our implementation, we use bioengineering/biotechnology (BME) as themultidisciplinary emerging topic area, and electrical/computer engineering (ECE) as the corecurriculum. Since our initial report two years ago, which was based on a couple of experiments,we have developed several new laboratory exercises, and more importantly followed studentswho went through the four years of integrated BME content. In this paper, we present ourimplementation and assessment details, and some surprising outcomes we have observed sinceour previous preliminary assessment. We discuss many advantages, but also some potentialpitfalls of this approach, along with lessons learned along the way. 1. Introduction Thanks

Introduction The primary purpose of teaching is to facilitate student learning. However, many traditionalteaching methods have clearly been shown to encourage passive rather than active learning [1],and passive learning hinders comprehension and long-term retention of important concepts.Students in traditional classrooms acquire most of their knowledge through classroom lecturesand textbook reading, but good teaching involves a great deal more than simply pouringinformation into their heads. Students do not enter the classroom with a tabula rasa. They bringtheir

Hegemony and Whiteness in STEM manifest in many ways but isevident by looking at the demographics within higher education and industry. In fall of 2020,almost three-quarters of faculty in the USA were white (39% white males, 35% white females)[2], [3]. Within the STEM industry, white workers make up two-thirds of workers while inengineering and architects, white workers are overrepresented at 71% [4]. Not only is there anoverrepresentation of Whiteness within STEM, there is a wage disparity that continues to grow.Black full-time and year-round workers from the age of 25 and up only make 78% of their whitecounterparts’ median
