Using self-assessment exercises, they are able to find the right vocabulary toconvey that experience in relation to the opportunities they are considering. The objective is to inturn generate a result-oriented resume, by understanding each employer’s needs. Secondly, weassist them in developing a sense of context at this stage, for example the notion of a wanting adream job is dismissed and replaced by a new attitude that understands that a career path ismapped out in stages with varying aspirations and challenges along the way, be it

The learning ofphysics problem solving in terms of fluid intelligence is an effective tool to strengthen thefoundation for technical flexibility to solve problems not learned before. And without fluidintelligence, a student would not even be interested in new horizons such as EntrepreneuriallyMinded Learning.It is important to understand the role of memory in learning when implementing a newpedagogy. Memory and learning are intricately related as revealed by psychology andneuroscience. The striatum and hippocampus are considered to be complementary

In anattempt to determine the effectiveness of this approach, an anonymous student survey wasconducted. Seventeen students were surveyed, and the results are shown in Table 1. All studentsin CHEG 4332L in spring 2013 participated in the survey. The survey was distributed at thefinal Drill session, and students were given the entire class time to complete it.Table 1.

They belong to the broad families, Create and Innovate, and Inquire and Analyze. Referto Figure 1. Virtually each course has problem solving and critical thinking in more than onelearning objective, which is expected noting the technical nature of the program. Each courserequires the student to understand how the concepts fit in a broader picture, which is the systemsthinking competency. Almost all courses, 37 out of 40, state quantitative thinking.

, etc.In our electrical engineering and computer engineering undergraduate programs, studentscomplete a two-course senior design sequence using project-based learning, where, in addition tosolving challenging design problems, they develop several of the generic skills. They also workin teams in the laboratory components of several earlier courses, but there is little formalinstruction therein on how to behave in a group or how to conduct good team work. If some ofthose ideas were learned early in the program, they could be used all throughout the program,and thus the students would enter the senior design sequence with strong team skills and be ableto focus on the technical aspects of the design projects. Also, they would graduate with theability

Monday can follow with more technicalinformation, but typically, the entire two-hour session on Monday is dedicated to team design andconstruction activities. In general, the two “recitation sessions” are actually devoted to the teamactivities, where the students discuss their upcoming designs, implement their design ideas, and testtheir designs.

The format of thetraining consisted of lecture and lab components totaling 20 hours, run as two sessions (4) hoursper day for one week. The morning session was conducted from 8am-12, and the afternoonsession from 1-5pm. This design was selected so that employees from the larger employer wouldnot be all out on training at one time. Therefore, they split their employees so that half attendedthe morning session while the others attended the afternoon session.Later in the summer, a second training session was offered in an all-day 8-hour

Additionally, the structure ofthe class/lab set up and timing has been revisited in order to accommodate the need forreduced contact and increased distancing. Suggestions have been made to offer multiple shiftsof a lab section, add concurrent sessions, introduce remote observation of live experiments,offer night and weekend lab shifts, and other solutions [3].
