Session 3661 Collaborative Teaching: Reflections on a Cross-Disciplinary Experience in Engineering Education Mark A. Shields University of VirginiaIntroductionMost of us know a lot more about cooperative learning than about collaborative teaching. We arealso far more sympathetic to the former than the latter. The principled virtues and practicalbenefits of having our students work together in teams seem altogether less attractive when weenvision ourselves joined in (chained to?) a common teaching enterprise. While collaborativelearning seems to offer an

However, budget problems at the state and national levels haveresulted in continuing budget cuts in community colleges.

key principles ofthe Highlander Center are to identify root causes of issues, and work on these systemic issues inconsistent and generative ways instead of focusing on problems (e.g., not enough women inengineering). The outcome of this shift is that instead of focusing on getting more womenacclimated to the system of engineering education and practice, we can identify the root cause ofsexism, and ask what measures could be taken to combat sexism in the world of engineeringeducation and practice. This framing clearly would connect us to others working on issues ofsexism in engineering and in other contexts, with whom we could learn and collaborate.

In thispaper, we provide an overview on storytelling, describe our use of stories for buildingcommunity in engineering education, and summarize results from the evaluation of ourinteractive FIE storytelling session.IntroductionThe engineering education research community is evolving. Some evidence of this is the growthof capacity building programs such as year-long mentored or collaborative researchexperiences[1-4] and departments of engineering education (e.g., Purdue University, VirginiaTech). At a smaller scale are workshops and interactive sessions at engineering educationconferences that focus on research skill development [5-7].

Session 3592 DECONSTRUCTING ENGINEERING EDUCATION PROGRAMS (DEEP) Ilene Busch-Vishniac, Jeffrey P. Jarosz Johns Hopkins UniversityThe shortage of women in the engineering workforce has been a persistent problem in spite ofsignificant efforts over decades to improve the situation. While the number of women increasedas a result of the various focused efforts, the profession is no longer seeing improvements. Thereis even evidence that the percentage of women in engineering student bodies is backsliding ratherthan improving. This has led many to question
is frequently centered on deliveringthe content to students instead of facilitating student inquiry during the learning process.Although many of the principles of constructivism offer promise in the development ofsuccessful learning environments, practical applications are often hard to incorporate into thecommon constraints of the school environment.1With the recent emphasis on “learner-centered” education in engineering education, a deeperunderstanding and application of Piaget’s work is in order. The purpose of this paper is topresent a model of an engineering/education collaborative program that is built on Piagetianprinciples and attempts to outreach to K-12 students to build their enthusiasm for engineeringand science. Thus, this paper

For historical reasons, the French system is not easy to analyze succinctly and theauthors have had to resort to some oversimplifications. Aspects such as the mutual recognition ofdegrees and professional qualifications have not been examined in this paper. I. INTRODUCTION TO THE FRENCH ENGINEERING EDUCATION SYSTEM Compared to
well as cost and efficiency benefits for the various types ofsystems that are represented.Feedback and ConclusionsThe response to the Systems Engineering Educators Workshop was very positive. At the end ofthe workshop, a handwritten survey was given, and a follow up survey was distributed overemail six months later. In the exit survey, 100% of the ten teachers said that they felt theworkshop would help their teaching in the future, in courses such as physics, physical science,genetics, social studies in collaboration with the science teachers, math, geometry, probabilityand statistics. Of the ten teachers, 8 definitely planned to use workshop activities in theclassroom, one participant was not sure, and one did not. The most popular activities

An assumption is that professors get their “ training” atgraduate school. This may be true of content areas, but most graduate education occurs in largeresearch focused universities. With limited and variable training across institutions, theconsensus is that many graduates are
