to lead outside the formal curriculum AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

Data were collected from students at eachof four institutions (pseudonyms are used here): Technical Public Institution (TPUB), a publicuniversity specializing in teaching engineering and technology; Urban Private University(UPRI), a private historically black mid-Atlantic institution; Large Public University (LPUB), alarge public university in the northwest U.S.; and Suburban Private University (SPRI), amedium-sized private university on the west coast of the United States.The APS uses a concurrent triangulation mixed-methods design, in which both qualitative andquantitative methods are employed to collect and analyze data.

The scales in the ASE are well established and have been refinedbased on multiple waves of data collection using college students, internal reliability and factoranalyses, and correlations with academic performance.Task Value: Task value was also measured using items from Pintrich’s Motivated Strategies forLearning Questionnaire4-6. In this study, task value was conceptualized as students' perception ofhow interesting, important, or useful tasks in their engineering major and program are, includingthe importance and utility of corresponding course material. Task value is critical to consider asit is a major motivator to learn according to Eccles’ expectancy-value model7, 8. In physical andinformation technology

An interest in emphasizing mathematics andscience led to the launch of a number of undergraduate and graduate programs around the worldin Engineering Science, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and the persistent inclusion of acomprehensive foundation in mathematics and science in engineering programs.This foundation has enabled a focus on first principles as part of the teaching and learningdiscourse in some engineering programs. More recently, first principles thinking has also beendiscussed in the popular technology discourse as connected to innovation. Here, it is described asa method used to identify and reason from the most fundamental truths in our knowledge base tosupport problem solving and innovation. While

In 2002 astudent-led assessment of environmental health issues found that water quantity and qualityissues were a pressing and widespread concern in the community. At the same time, waterquality data and base maps of the region were also unavailable. Between the university and thecommunity, GIS maps were a deliverable the university was able to deliver relatively quicklyusing GPS and GIS technology, and that met a community need for geographic information. Thedelivery of maps showed community partners that working with the university program couldprovide benefits in the short-term, and in turn increased confidence in promises for longer-termbenefits. Within the university maps were also a way to

Doing: RocketryAbstractRocketry has seen a tremendous resurgence in popularity over recent years, especially with theadvancements in space exploration and technology. The interest spans various age groups andprofessions, from K-12 students participating in science fairs to professionals in the aerospaceindustry. NASA’s space efforts in returning to the moon and in visiting Mars have redoubled theinterest in our youth for learning about rocketry, satellites, and related aerospace topics. The successof private space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin has also sparked a renewed interest inrocketry.University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) course AERO F660/Rocket Systems Design provides students withthe opportunity to gain practical, hands-on
attributed to the different teaching modalities. Nevertheless, large-scalestudies are needed for standardizing teaching and learning practices. A comprehensive understanding ofthe differences between different teaching modalities in robotics has yet to be developed. Challengesfaced included network integration, student engagement, teamwork, accessibility, technology,equipment, and robust communication platforms [8-10].With the pandemic-transformed pedagogy, institutions had to switch to an emergency remote teachingmodality. Instructors could not adequately support hands-on technology competency. At the same time,student motivation and engagement depreciated due to limited access to in-person interactions andresources – all of which instigated
quality assurance practice.Secondly, the lack of historical research perspective leads to a research illusion which ischaracterized by “technology supremacy” or “experience supremacy”, but also leads to thenarrow view of researchers. Although there are many theoretical foundations such as“Stakeholder Theory”, “Total Quality Management Theory”, “Bloom Classification Model”and “Cooper Learning Circulation”, the theoretical interpretation is not complete when areintroduced in the research topics. In summary, it is difficult to produce more normativetheoretical research results for the lack of standardized research design and research methods.3. Research Design3.1.

In the ideal curriculum, learners would passthrough these three stages: (1) new learners initially engage collectively in active learning to grasp newconcepts; (2) as these learners progress, they take in additional information through more conventionallearning while exploring some of their individual creativity and capabilities, and finally (3) theycollectively come back together in committing to be involved in their own learning.Psychological and Educational ElementsPedagogy and Andragogy.

This is currently listed as an “M/30” (masters or equivalent) accomplishment. Admittedly, no basic level of achievement in technical specialization is explicitly required in the newly revised civil engineering accreditation criteria. Nevertheless, one could convincingly argue that after an undergraduate student has

No matter what you call it, its effect upon teaching and learning in this new millenniumhas and will continue to be profound.

It is important to note that education technology is a new and emerging field with alack of standardized terminology, so most searches need to have a broad scope to identify alluseful papers. Additional strategies, such as searching study registries, citing literature, or contactingauthors, were not prioritized for this review. Study registries are not commonly utilized inengineering education research, making their inclusion less impactful. Similarly, citing literatureand author contact were deemed less effective, as many papers in this field are authored byresearchers whose primary focus lies outside of engineering

Further, there is research that suggests the GRE disproportionatelyunderestimates the chances of academic success for women over 243. Returners may also facechallenges once admitted, like a lack of recent experience with foundational mathematics orhaving different work styles than their direct-pathway peers1. It may also be more likely thatreturning students have additional family responsibilities related to childcare or care for agingparents that present an additional challenge to balancing academic and personal duties5, 6.
