that engineering students commonly want instructors toslow down the pace, work more numerical examples, and use real world applications. However,most engineering classes are content heavy so it is difficult to provide students with time topractice concepts and reinforce fundamental concepts in a traditional classroom. Due to paceand lack of time, many students report that they ‘write down now and learn later’. Subsequently,students are expected to practice the higher levels of the Bloom’s taxonomy on their own.Homework assignments are assigned to help students solve problems, implement strategies,and/or demonstrate that they have learned the concepts presented in the classroom. In otherwords, instructors teach the material using methods

They really are good at relating what they are thinking to each other, asopposed to a teacher standing up there and saying the exact same thing and it not making senseto the kids, so kids do a very good job of teaching each other and pulling the best out of eachother. You know, I was very surprised that some of my lowest kids were my kids that actuallyproblem solved better and in the engineering setting than what they do in a regular classroomsetting… For them it was hands on and it was more real world to them maybe than as the mathproblems that they give…they just just did a really good job of looking at the problem in front ofthem; looking at the challenge in front of them and coming up with viable

To this end, it is generallyrecognized in the academic environment that an introductory course in EE should be offered tothe non-electrical engineering (non-EE) students. As a result, almost all engineering institutionsoffer at least one “service course” for non-EE majors through the EE department. It is theresponsibility of the academic programs to ensure that these service courses remain relevant tothe real world of engineering that their graduates will encounter.Therefore, in this contemporary context, it is reasonable to ask the following questions

A zener within this range of VZ has a temperature coefficient near 0° and consequently maintains an extremely stable reference voltage over changes in temperature(4). The reference voltage is applied to the noninverting input of an op-amp. The sample circuit is a potentiometer that acts as a variable voltage divider. The input to the potentiometer is the output voltage across the load. The sample voltage is taken from the wiper lead and applied to the inverting input of the op-amp.

Andre instead advocated for larger societal changesthat require an honest investigation of the goals of engineering and the history of race in Americaand its modern implications. Further, Andre said in the interview that engineers should be curious about things beyondthe technical- things like history, law, and society. To Andre, the connection to society should bea focus of engineering, as he said in his interview, “like making sure as an engineer that youcould see that your calculus class is somehow related to something that's happening in societythat's a real-world issue.

We draw on four frameworks that help us understand the different types ofrelationships STEM students typically have with technology: the types of solutions engineersrely on (i.e., technological fixes), who engineers think count as valid stakeholders and how theyconceptualize and develop relationships with them (i.e., deficit/threat models), the market-basedsystems and contexts that shape the imaginations of engineers (i.e

If someone has a high Self-Efficacy he or she should have positiveoutcome expectations due to this self-confidence in his abilities. This means that an individualwith low Self-Efficacy, low Outcome Expectations and therefore low interest in a certain area,is very unlikely to pursue that area.

Overall, the learning outcomesand student experiences achieved at the second institution were similarly positive to thoseachieved at the first institution.

The foundation for advanced courses starts with algebra courses taken at an early age, often in middle school (Table 7). Most of the respondents (76%) had taken algebra 2 by the 10th grade.
