This new paradigm, through its ability to create and commercialize new products andservices, will create new jobs, help reduce high U.S. unemployment, and increase cash flow backinto the economy. The new innovation paradigm, by its very nature, adapts by reinventing itselfto address emerging and future problems facing the country.

Trendsinvolving learning methods such as active learning, case-based learning, service learning,problem-based learning, and other teaching innovations have received positive reviews, in partfor their effectiveness and the ability of each to engage college students beyond the traditionallecture format. While novelty, variety, and student engagement have their merits in terms ofraising

Society for Engineering EducationSurvey responses were transcribed and coded, mapping each response to one or more themes. Eachopen-ended question had a set of themes that was induced from the responses in a first pass ofcoding. Themes were added and refined through a process of comparison with each new response.Once the themes stabilized, a second pass of coding ensured each response was compared againstthe complete set of themes. For verification and fine-tuning, one third of the responses (randomlyselected) and descriptions of the themes were given to a second researcher for coding.3.3 Institutional and curricular contextThe survey was completed in 2004 spring by students enrolled in the first of two introductorycomputer programming courses

Faculty directed theresearch of multiple students, but from the student and faculty members’ interviews, it seems thatthe faculty member more often played the role of a “point person,” coordinating the work ofseveral students who generally worked independently on pieces of the project.3 The exception was the department without a doctoral program

Here, the 2014 Standards for Educational andPsychological Measurement were applied as the basis for evidence gathering and Cook’s evidencevalidation model was used for instrument validity [8]. Preliminary reliability testing depicts theEDVES having reasonable reliability in this general population based on computed inter-itemcorrelations, item-to-scale total correlations, and Cronbach’s alpha with few items being removedfrom analysis due to poor correlation values. With the validity of the instrument assessed by Hyltonet. al. in the first-year engineering context, this work observes the validity of the EDVES in the K-12 space through

as a bottleneck illuminates the ladder of barriers disabled students have to climb tosucceed [6]. We, the authors, typically take a social view of disability in presenting information forengineering instructors to change their practices to be more accessible to all students. A socialperspective of disability defines disability as a consequence of inaccessible environments, ratherthan an inherent problem in individuals. In other words, the environment is disabling, which inthis case is the classroom and administrative system of obtaining accommodations. Instructorscan use the insights gained from these interviews to develop awareness for accessibility in theclassroom beyond formal accommodations and become aware of the ways

In some cases, in-class writing and work can beused alongside collaborative learning, where the goal is using writing and peer engagement tolearn course concepts more effectively [11, 12]. In other cases, teamwork assignments may notfocus on writing specifically but use writing to communicate design solutions or data analysis.Typically, these projects may culminate in a report, a presentation, or some tangible product thatinvolves writing (e.g. a final team report communicating results to a project sponsor).

Oftenengineering educators consider it as a single skill that individuals either have or lack. In reality,the development of SDL aptitude involves a complex interplay among nearly every aspect ofhuman development. Individuals become self-directing through mastery of a broad range ofskills, attitudes, and knowledge that enables construction of understandings and managementprocesses for their thoughts, motivations, actions, and interactions with their learningenvironment.11,12,13,14 Self-directed

While some students may want to start with knowing thebig picture of things, others might get overwhelmed by the information.

We will demonstrate quantitatively just how effective and valuable thecourse approach has been by using a number of metrics including the impact of this course on theparticipants’ careers and current jobs. Some of the metrics include how important participantsrated the course in getting a job, whether the course was referenced at all during the job interviewprocess and how prepared the participants felt for these interviews. Also, adopted as a metric isthe value of the students’ contributions
