, revealed that aspects of the challenge-based instruction model (i.e. challengesolving, group work) significantly enhanced student engagement in the class. Studentsdemonstrated concurrent development of content expertise and innovative problem solvingability during the course. Before, during, and after the challenge-based instruction course,students identified that the open-ended challenges characteristic of the instruction model weremotivating, engaging, and interesting. Students also consistently preferred homework andexamination problems derived from real world examples that require creativity and are solvedcollaboratively within teams. Our results, which emerged from a novel student-centered,instruction-sensitive survey instrument, affirm that
corebusiness practice [4] – emerged as one strategy for corporations to respond to the growingcriticisms that citizens, civil society groups and government bodies made of their power andbehavior. At their base, the practices and policies undertaken under the banner of CSRacknowledge that corporations are responsible for more than producing and distributing profit:they must also seek to create social and environmental benefits while minimizing harms.Importantly, while rhetoric surrounding CSR in corporate material invokes broad categories of“the public, “society,” or even “the world,” the field was a key innovator and disseminator ofstakeholder theory. Attention to stakeholders helps to move analysis from idealized abstractionsto the messy complexity
recent graduates’experiences as well as those of other difficult-to-access, perhaps underexplored, populations ofengineers. Introduction and BackgroundSchool-to-work transitionsResearch on engineering practice has emerged as a major focus within the engineering educationcommunity (Korte, Brunhaver, & Sheppard, 2015; Lutz, 2017; Stevens, Johri, & O’Connor, 2014).And while engineering degree programs are designed to prepare graduates for the realities ofmodern practice, research suggests that a significant gap remains between what engineers aretaught in school and what they do at work (Korte, 2011).An important aspect of engineering practice, then, involves the school-to-work transition for

direction do youthink researchers need to go in understanding disability and neurodive?Neurodiversity is a relatively new area of research. Not everyone experiences disabilities in thesame way. This means researchers must hear from multiple different people with differentdisabilities. These interviews will provide similarities and differences on how individuals withdisabilites handle everyday life. Researchers can then use this information to improve areas foreveryone, not just one group. This may be changing teaching methods to learn how thatmakes sense to their brain—or developing technology that can increase individuals’ level ofindependence. These research discoveries could not just benefit people with disabilities. Theycan also improve the way

Implementation of all four modesinto a hands-on experience has been found to deepen learning [18].The use of Kolb’s cycle is particularly applicable in an engineering context. Every professionalengineer in Canada is required to follow the Engineers Canada code of ethics, one tenet of whichis professional engineers will “keep themselves informed in order to maintain their competence”([23], pp. 3).

ItIntroductionThe world’s increasingly global economy has created a steadily growing market for engineerswho can work in a globalized environment (Jesiek & Beddoes, 2010). The need for suchengineers has increased even more rapidly in developing nations where population growthoutpaces technological solutions. To be competitive both at home and abroad, Americanengineers must learn how to interact productively with people from a range of cultures andcustoms (Ball, Zaugg, Davies, Tateishi, Parkingson, Gensen, & Magleby, 2012). Americaneducation must produce global engineers.Unfortunately, there is no standard definition of global engineer. A recent literature reviewreveals the extensive debate about this term.

Results from a pair of questions related to types of instructional approaches theypreferred as a student and then how they are or have been teaching demonstrate that a gap doesexist between the two (Figure 2).

15.1050.4The modeling process is defined as ‘to specify a description of a device and its operatingenvironment that can be used to infer some information about the device’ [16], sometimes giventhe name modeling cycle [17]. The modeling process involves making decisions about relevantphysical domains, abstractions, approximations, and other assumptions [16] .Thus modeling is asearch of a space defined by multiple criteria. The modeling process is a constructive processsince it involves putting together partial solutions under constraints and explicitly representingthe information used to select, assemble, and evaluate the model. Depending on the purpose andfocus of the research, modeling processes might look different [18]. For instance, Lesh and Harel

The authors propose that colleges who can document the results of cooperativeeducation learning will be in a stronger position to demonstrate that their students meet ABETEC 2000 criteria.Background Information on Accreditation and Cooperative EducationThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is recognized in the UnitedStates as the sole agency for accreditation of educational programs leading to degrees inengineering.

longer a solitary or even dual activity but, rather, is now a collaborativeeffort that brings together academic units such as different departments in a university,researchers from different colleges and universities, with both of these forms of collaborationconducted across continents. As a result of extensive collaborative efforts that are not alwayswell defined at the beginning of the relationship, there is often confusion about responsibility,accountability, and recognition for the research results. Other issues that emerge in thesecollaborative efforts across universities are the complexities of funding, reimbursement, andallocation. Page

Four themes emerged: (1) the professoriate appearsdaunting due to the competitive nature of the job market and the academic environment, (2) thework demands of the professoriate are contrary to the work-life balance sought, (3) possessingresearch autonomy in the professoriate is highly attractive, and (4) the professoriate is perceivedas a calling for those who desire to teach and mentor the upcoming generation of engineers. Amore nuanced understanding of the appeal of the professoriate and the career decision-makingprocess of postdoctoral scholars may be an avenue to aid in diversifying the engineeringprofessoriate.

The thermodynamicefficiency of this process ranges from approximately 25% to 50%, depending on factors such aspre-combustion treatment, turbine technology, and plant age. A few integrated gasificationcombined cycle power plants have been constructed. These plants have an overall efficiency of upto 94%, particularly when utilized for combined heat and power18. Such facilities emit lower levelsof local pollution compared to traditional pulverized coal-fueled plants. Despite theseadvancements, the application of carbon capture and storage technology after gasification andbefore combustion remains economically impractical for coal-based power plants.The use of coal as a source of energy is strongly

This creates a dilemma for modern practice and education. On one hand, there is a Page 22.1629.2growing need for increased specialization to tackle complex emerging technologies; on the otherhand, there is an even greater need for these specialties to commune in the design process. It isobvious that this division of knowledge is convenient for the academy and practice due toconcerns of professional licensure and academic accredidation, but diminishes the potential

began to change in the 1920s as a number of the people whowould later become major names in the field of engineering, such as Stephen Timoshenko andTheodore Von Karman immigrated to America from Europe, bringing with them an emphasis onthe science and theoretical bases that support engineering practice.2 These individuals assumedpositions of power in academia (and trained a new generation of followers of this approach) andsubsequently engineering research began to be practiced and emphasized more in engineeringprograms. The approach spread to programs across the country and gradually the “shop-based”emphasis was phased out and world events such as the Second World War forced the nation tocome up with new technologies to help the United States
