another at the end of chapter 4. Chapters 1 and 2 took students 80 minutes onaverage to complete, and chapters 3 and 4 took 88 minutes, for a total of 168 minutes tocomplete all four chapters. The surveys included agreeability questions that ranged from stronglyagree (+3) to strongly disagree (-3), shown in Table 1. Students slightly agreed that theflowcharts and code were easy to understand. Students were more neutral about whether the codewas easy to write. The students generally liked programming, not surprising as that is most oftheir chosen major. Students reported a minor amount of frustration with issues with theprogramming language. In fact, we had accidentally included a homework on a language conceptthat were not included in the

Students first work individuallyto understand and develop unique technical skills in engineering data analysis, hardware,programming, circuitry, and 3D printing concepts before being paired in groups [22]. Writingassignments are also embedded throughout the course. The concept generation phase requires eachengineering student to communicate (both in written form and orally) their proposed ideas andrationale behind the team candidate design selection to the class and the university community.The written communication assignments utilize a “process writing” technique [4, 23-25] wherebytwo submissions of the same assignment are

As a new wave of the S&T revolutioncharacterized by digitalization, intelligence, and green innovation surges, STEMeducation plays an increasingly important role in the supply of innovative talents.STEM education focuses on real issues, adopts interdisciplinary content arrangement,and emphasizes improving students’ ability to apply multidisciplinary knowledge andstimulating creative thinking. Since STEM education is in line with the practicalneeds of societal development for talent training, it has soon attracted the attention ofgovernments worldwide

courses and thefield of statistics as a whole [20]. The ATS was modified by Schau, et al. in 1995 to create theSurvey of Attitudes Towards Statistics (SATS) which broadened the assessment to cover four orsix factors (depending on the version), instead of the original two [21],[17]. Tempelaar et al.found that the six-factor version was preferable over the four-factor [22]. This questionnaire waspreferable over other similar surveys because it assessed only student opinion without askingstudents to solve course specific problems, which would be a poor indicator of attitude or abilityat the beginning of a course. The full Likert survey can be found in the appendix, but it coverssix general attitudes regarding the course: 1. Affect – students

During both years, the statistical sample size (class size) wasnearly equal due to the consistent (but small) classroom size at our host institution.This perception survey has four sections. Section 1 was designed to measure the learningoutcomes of the student with a rating of nine statements from 1 (low) to 5 (High). In section 2,ten questions were generated in five points scale to understand about the current teachingmethodology from students’ point of view. Namely, whether students agree with the model ordisagree with that approach. Section 3 was designed with ten “YES” or “NO” type questions

educators will be “restricted” professionals [1]. Some countries however, such as the UK and Sweden, dorequire intending university faculty to have training in teaching and learning. It can be argued that such training servesas the teaching equivalent of the PE; the PEE, as it were.All of this implies a second characteristic of a profession, that is, that it possesses a codified body of knowledge andexpertise. A third characteristic of a profession is that it has agreed standards of behavior, and a set of ethical standardsthat members abide by or face sanctions for violating.This paper argues that, certifications or degrees aside, university teaching should be a professional activity and effectivetraining should be required.

For this project,professional skills, often referred to as “soft skills,” include a variety of competencies such ascommunication, teamwork, professional and ethical responsibility, and more as determined byABET and delineated in the results of this paper. Unlike technical skills, professional skills takemore time to develop and sharpen [3]. Additionally, they are not as amenable to course-basedlearning often due to their “untestable” nature.

Euler in 1757 developed a mathematical modelfor maximum buckling capacity of a member. He presented the maximum load that a membercan carry before failure due to buckling as a function of the length, moment of inertia of thecross section, modulus of elasticity of material and the fixity conditions of the member. Mostly,civil engineering students learn about the theory of buckling in the spring of their sophomoreyear in a Statics II course. Static II is combined with a two-hour weekly laboratory session.
