Changes in the externalenvironment (e.g. reduced funding, increased costs, demands by industry for well-seasonedgraduates, and rapid advances in technology) coupled with the quest for educational relevance inundergraduate engineering, are forcing colleges of engineering in the Region (the Arab GulfStates) to “rethink” engineering education and to undertake constructive steps towards reformingthe

Several survey items areassociated with each cluster. First, the percentage of students with a favorable (and unfavorable)response to each statement or survey item is calculated, with neutral responses ignored. If theexperts disagreed, then a favorable response is either Disagree or Strongly Disagree. The clusterscore is found

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates historicallyunderrepresented groups will increase half of the workforce by 2050.[3] Given that it is alsowidely understood that historically underrepresented populations face challenges throughout theeducational pipeline often beginning

as studentswrestle with the past and the future. The concepts of risk, return and the capital asset pricingmodel are introduced as students begin to understand how the required return for equity holdersis not only dependent on the underlying risk of the assets, but on the leverage of the firm. Givenvarying levels of debt, the relative stability of the required return on the assets (as opposed to theequity) emerges as a better analysis tool.This paper will discuss this project-based method in detail and give examples of instructionalpedagogy that includes “Project Based Learning,” “Pull instruction,” and the use of a “FlippedClassroom.” In addition, student feedback on the topic is included.IntroductionProject or Problem Based Learning (PBL

We describe the first phase of research to build a curricular and instructional changeframework to support educators who seek to revise or develop engineering courses to centerequity. Our emerging framework acknowledges that instructors – including tenure-track, contractfaculty, and graduate teaching assistants – will typically require professional development tosupport them as they design and teach these courses. We also acknowledge that for engineeringto move beyond siloed discussions of equity, academic programs need to revise multiple requiredcourses, including technical/ engineering science courses.

impact of cognitive factors on student’s performance while solving complexand ill−structured problems is well recognized. A student's success in problem−solving isfinely shaped by task complexity, cognitive factors of goal orientation and the need forcognitive closure, and their level of engagement. For educators in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM), it is important to understand how task complexity andcognitive factors combine to influence problem−solving processes to prepare STEM studentsprofessionally and ensure they are well−equipped to meet the growing needs of the skilledworkforce in the industry. In this context, cognitive factors of goal orientation and the needfor cognitive closure play a significant role. An
. The case of the technology gap is identified as an explicit example of howmarginalization can erode the efficacy of constructively aligned education, results in inequitablestudent outcomes. Constructive alignment is a fundamentally subjective and qualitativepedagogy that heavily relies on the skills and professionalism of practitioners for its success, andthe absence of explicit guidelines on marginalization opens the door for potential biases anddiscriminating attitudes of facilitators to negatively affect the education of equity-deservingengineering students. The absence of such guidelines is especially critical in engineeringeducation, a fundamentally social profession that holds safeguarding public welfare as its highestprinciple, and may

Therefore, as more K-12 students are engaging in engineering design itis important to deepen our understanding of how students are approaching and engaging withengineering problems.There is some research regarding pre-college problem scoping techniques; however, there is agap in knowledge with respect to primary students. The purpose of this research is to exploreproblem scoping in the early stages of integrated science, technology, engineering, mathematics,and computational thinking (STEM+C) curricular units.
