The program was designed such that Districtemployees took classes from TAMU and CERC over a 1-year period. Students spent onesemester on the TAMU campus in College Station, Texas, one semester at CERC in Vicksburg,Mississippi, and took courses and gained field experience at the Field Research Facility, a Corpscoastal

This “gut feeling” was the impetus for this study, and was based on observationssuch as students’ reluctance to tackle problems that are not completely defined or carefullyconstrained by the professor. Moreover, we feel that a heterogeneous group (with respect tocognitive style) of engineers will be more effective at designing solutions in a team setting in thelong term. Exploring this perceived skew toward the adaptive end of the cognitive stylecontinuum using the KAI was a primary motivator for the study.Assessing the cognitive style of students also presented an opportunity to determine if variouslearning preferences (such as the perceived reluctance of students to engage in open-endedproblems) could be correlated to

The anchored curriculum focused on improving careerdevelopment skills in 42 students. A control group of 32 students followed a traditionalcurriculum. The anchored curriculum included five lessons that scaffolded on one another,requiring students to use the information developed in previous lessons to complete subsequentlessons. Jones deployed 27 videos to anchor the lesson plans, which were shown to the studentsthroughout the curriculum. The videos included

technology programs have sought to establish the correct balance of theory andpractice to maximize student learning. It is often difficult to overcome preconceived notions thatstudents bring with them, such as the comparative speeds at which objects of different weightsfall under the force of gravity [1]. By engaging students through demonstrations, hands-ondesign and fabrication projects, and physical laboratories, misconceptions can be overcome, thusreinforcing the fundamental principles needed in engineering education [2], [3].Eight years ago, the School of Engineering and Technology restructured its undergraduatecurricula to include the PBL core in each program. Each academic year BSEE, BSECET, BSE,and BSET students experience one or more PBL

This will no doubt remain an important assessment and evaluation tool.With regards to technical writing, this report documents the first attempt on our campus to use across-disciplinary approach to assessment through the use of the campus writing rubric.Although this rubric originated in the Journal of Engineering Education, it was modified by theEnglish faculty for general campus use.

Due to the similar nature of our internal PLCs as optional, PLCparticipants articulated a need for consistent training and shareable content with their colleagues and TAs. Anecdotesand discussions from our PLCs have also led to a shift in how we define and approach EML. For these reasons, weaimed to create EM training that would be accessible to all members of the instructional team from the faculty to theTA level.

Among other findings from a survey taken, the most salient issue facing facultycourse builders was the extraordinary time commitment needed to complete course certification.On the other hand, this teaching option has great appeal to working professionals in that itaffords a greater degree of flexibility by not having to meet and commute at scheduled timesduring the course of a week.

One reason may be that the K-12 educational system has failed to engage or exposestudents to technical application or workplace skills either early or extensively enough, orarticulate high school students to 2- or 4-year manufacturing programs [1, 2]. Another reason isthat institutions of higher education (IHEs) often produce too few graduates to fulfill AMindustry demands, and many engineering technology graduates are not gaining the right skill setsfor available positions [3]. Quite possibly, this misalignment may include skills that can be hardto manage and
