and techniques are presented for theteaching of graduate courses in engineering education.IntroductionInstitutions of higher education are always looking for ways to improve their educationalinitiatives. In colleges and universities, teaching is a very important way to achieve institutionalgoals of increased effectiveness and the improvement of student learning. The inability toconsciously control and manage the learning process in higher education in general and variousclasses in particular lies in a lack of understanding of the learning process itself, and this canserve as a substantial impediment to student learning and faculty teaching1. Instructors need todo more in utilizing accepted learning theories, principles, and teaching

However, the poor performance of the K-12 education system in teaching STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) has also been a concern in recent years. Asa result, engineering graduation rates have suffered in the past decades. Thus, the development ofnew generations of engineers remains a challenge in long-term (NAE, 2002) 21. Addressing thischallenge requires development of a solid foundation of engineering literacy throughout gradesK-12.This paper outlines an approach to address this challenge and to generate a more preparedgeneration of engineering

Instead, their social groups might include first-generation, gender, or other social markers. • Evaluate the outcome of your educational mission according to the social groups that you serve. The outcome could be grade distribution in your introductory courses, enrollment vs graduation, retention rate, and even first employment after obtaining a degree from your program. You should not find disparate outcomes across social groups. • If you determine that there are differences in the outcomes across the social groups of interest, then

The traditional approach is to assign the researchpaper, and assume that the students will be able to complete this paper by the due date. Eachstudent is responsible for determining how to select an appropriate topic, find related articles,and compile this information into an acceptable research paper.
