promising nature of job shadowing techniques and the familiarity of jobshadowing as an experiential learning technique makes it a good candidate for introducing studentsto academic careers.The National Society for Experiential Education has established eight guidelines for allexperiential learning activities [2]. These guidelines are as follows: 1. All participants shall be clear on the intentions and educational outcomes of the experience. 2. All participants shall be prepared and plan to follow program intentions. 3. The program shall be authentic to the real-world scenario. 4. Participants shall reflect on their experience in order to create a learning experience. 5. Orientation and training shall be provided to give context about

Thecriteria for selection was: feasibility, complexity and the decisions and practices it involved.From that learning goal, a problem-solving activity was created. The activity takes placeduring the coaching session. The activity engages students in a way which they mayencounter in “the real world” of mechanical design.The deliverable for this DP exercise is low-stakes, and graded only for completeness.

While many students were unfamiliar withcase analysis prior to entering the course, they quickly developed proficiency in connecting basiccourse topics to practical real-world business and engineering scenarios though case discussionswith assigned teams followed by debriefs with the whole class. Cases gave students a chance toapply the basic concepts they were learning, but most importantly, offered an avenue to regularlyinteract with

Thus, the flipped classroomapproach provides a framework for designing educational opportunities that engage students inactive and applied learning [1]. As Turner and Webster highlighted in their evaluation of a flipped course in electricalengineering technology, the ultimate goal of any engineering technology program is to producestudents who can solve open-ended problems and who can apply the technical knowledge gainedin the classroom to a wide variety of real-world situations [7]. So while flipping a class is onemethod to create free time to engage students in active learning, it is

Results from the project showthat the process of producing freshwater by evaporating saltwater and condensing thevapor requires greater care than one might initially expect as only 85% of the salt wasremoved.
