Co-curricular involvement includes measures ofparticipation in campus activities and membership in academic/honors associations and socialclubs. Connection refers to bonding with peers, faculty, and staff as well as sharing theinstitution’s values10. In addition to the positive effects on overall student performance andretention, early connections with faculty may have a particularly positive effect for Hispanicstudents13.

A series of events that wereoffered under an umbrella called “Molding Minds in Manufacturing” enabled the authors to testand implement several ideas and programs that engaged over 700 students and teachers.Building on this foundation, the current STEM outreach campaign was launched across theschool in the fall of 2005.

Such active participation of the learning process is able to help toengage the underlying learning activities of students for effective and enjoyable learningexperiences.Embodied learning is a learning approach where physical and virtual environment throughphysical engagement, sensory interaction, and kinesthetic learning are emphasized to demonstratethe underlying concepts which otherwise find hard to comprehend. This learning paradigm isparticularly impactful for STEM education because it involves hands-on experiences andmanipulation of the physical components throughout the learning process. By engaging

For a learning environment to be trulycommunity centered, learners interact and engage in dialogue with their peers, family members,and others in their community. In this approach, students witness the value and benefit of theirnew knowledge. The community-centered characteristics allow the designed learningenvironment to positively impact developing interest in and career aspirations for STEM fields.When students use the new knowledge in their social interactions with others, the ideal learningenvironment achieves its objective.There are several other instructional strategies that are among the evidence-based pedagogies.Active learning, cooperative learning, peer-led team

Even though both programs share someactivities and that students are placed in an environment that involves electrical and softwareconsiderations, students are still having difficulties integrating and applying the engineeringknowledge and skills that they learn. To avoid this problem, we thought that more could bedone to develop this ability early in the curricula. We also wanted to put students in situationscloser to the reality of the profession by making them work on projects that involvemultidisciplinary considerations, design and analysis abilities, autonomous learning, teamworkand communication skills.

The core elements of service learning are (1) service activities that help meet community needs that the community finds important and (2) structured educational components that challenge participants to think critically about and learn from their

These gestures can be very effective at minimizing chat and allowing the instructor to recognize students at the appropriate time. Finally, having text chats or sending Instant Message (I/M) sessions are to be used as a back up when voice chat is the primary means of communication. Engaging in multiple chat conversations other than the one meant for a particular group on hand, also referred to as chatting on the side, can be distracting by the typing sound and gestures that accompany texting activities and there is also the possibility of accidentally sending the I/M to

Flipped Classroom, is a teaching methodology in whichinstead of learning the material in class and doing homework at home, the students watchpremade videos of the topics at home and spend the class time on working problems. Theconcept of a flipped classroom was inspired by teachers Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams.They developed “reversed instruction” by offering PowerPoint presentations online for studentswho had missed class [1].Since then, the concept has been developed into a teaching methodology, interpreted and appliedin various ways. Variations take two separate routes. One category of variations focusses on

IntroductionSustainability is one of the most pressing issues that the present generation beings need to address1Since the problem is global, complex, and comprehensive, all the members and communities inthe world must be engaged in and contribute to addressing the issue. The engineering community,particularly manufacturing engineering community has important roles to play2,3,4. However, thechallenge of educating engineering students to effectively addressing the grand sustainabilityissues requires truly innovate pedagogy. As Albert Einstein succinctly put, “we can’t solveproblems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”A course on sustainable manufacturing has been developed and offered since 2010 at XYZUniversity.

The build phase of theproject included weekly emails of the tools the students would be trained to use and what aspectsneeded to be built.

It is clear that there is vital need to help students improve their metacognitive skillsthrough metacognitive training.2. Metacognition and Self-Regulated LearningIn a simple definition, metacognition refers to one‟s state of awareness of one‟s thinking10.Flavell, regarded as a foundation researcher in metacognition, divided it into two aspects:metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive experiences or strategies. He describedmetacognitive knowledge as “knowledge concerning one‟s own cognitive processes and productsor anything related to them”11, p. 232. It can lead someone to engage in

He did not directly report post-test scores; I extractedthese through manual calculation.Table 1 summarizes the data collected by Hestenes and Hake, and also includesadditional analysis to facilitate direct comparisons between data sets. As can be seen, thetwo data sets are in close agreement with one another. Because the meaning of“interactive” is broad – many types of teaching methods can qualify as “interactive”,provided that they attempt student engagement beyond traditional classroom instruction –these two studies provide compelling
