A troubling fact is, after instruction,students often emerge from our classes with serious misconceptions [2 - 6]. Rebello [7] suggests that the essential goal of education is the transfer of learning.Research in the field of Physics Education continues to provide educators with a window throughwhich an understanding of how students learn physics can be developed. Beichner [8] suggeststhat Physics Education Research (PER) is ―… focused inquiry into what happens as studentsstruggle to grasp and use the concepts of physics.‖ Focused inquiry involves the use of a numberof strategies

more educators are becoming aware of the issues of design, and steps arebeing taken world wide to address the concerns of industry at large. One approach has been toform “symbiotic” partnership between industry and academia through senior capstone projects. Page 24.948.2The capstone course has evolved over the years from “made up” projects devised by faculty toindustry-sponsored projects where companies provide “real” problems, along with expertise andfinancial support. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements

when engineers appreciate and strive forfairness [4]. Understanding the educational context and the importance of integrating equityissues is crucial to help engineers develop an equity ethic. However, the rigid and technology-focused nature of engineering education, rooted in meritocracy and a lack of political awareness,often prevents engineering students from exploring the social aspects of their field. To promotesocially just engineering practices, we must change how engineering students are taught andequipped to address issues of inequality in the workplace. Like in many other professions,engineering culture and values may be imparted to students through belief systems that arediscussed in more subtle ways rather than just fundamental

While thepublished literature on returning students has discussed some of their special skills andparticular challenges, there are many unanswered questions, particularly in regard to returningstudents in engineering and other STEM fields.IntroductionWhile many graduate students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields begin their graduate program immediately after completing a bachelor’s degree, there arealso many who enter the workforce and later pursue a graduate degree. In the larger populationof graduate students, statistics show that many are older; in 2001, only 43.4% of

They develop expertise in their research areas; however,they do not develop knowledge and skills in different areas of chemical engineering nor updatethemselves in up-to-date practices. (3) It has been shown that traditional lecture-based instructionis ineffective at promoting engineering problem-solving, self-learning, and high-level skilldevelopment [5-7]. An emerging paradigm in engineering education is design thinking includingintegrated or inductive-learning models and abductive-thinking [8-13].

To gather information from students whodecided to dropout, meetings with the students or with the advisors (when meeting the studentwas not advisable) occurred. This step provided a benchmark to start ideating about crafting thecourse.The second step was to conduct charrette meetings with professors from all fields of knowledgein the civil engineering department to develop the course objectives, the course content, and thedesired student experience. Eleven professors (6 are Alumni and 5 are not Alumni) participatedin the charrette meetings. The professors’ areas of expertise were construction materials,structures and seismic analysis, environment, and water resources, geotechnic and soilsmechanics

Video Length for Studying Machine Learning in a Flipped ClassroomAbstractIn recent years, the flipped classroom has emerged as an increasingly popular teaching method inhigher education, as it is seen as an effective way to promote active learning among students.Nevertheless, a crucial factor that has not been studied in-depth is students' preference for thelength of videos in the flipped classroom. Although a few studies have considered the designprocess of videos and students' preferences for video length in a flipped classroom, there arevarying recommendations and a lack of data-driven analysis on how many and how long the videosshould be. In this study, we investigated students' preference for video length in

The different types of motivations may be described on acontinuum ranging from autonomous (internal) to controlled (external) motivations.

Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy

Laborcosts are typically not excessive in Tanzania.
