engineeringscience is a more established introductory approach to teaching college students than human-centered design. Making may provide a new model for progressive, student-centered learningthat can match calls from industry for a scalable educational framework that encouragesinnovation and entrepreneurship among students. Making can be a potentially revolutionarylearning platform, with a unique blend of technological and interpersonal skill development andits applied context.Research Focus and MethodsWe are specifically interested in using our ongoing work to address “how the attributes ofMaking might translate to an engineering classroom context?” The basis for proposing suchguidelines for Making-Based Learning is in the synthesis of our findings from

This paper has implications for new direction and effort in studying studentmisconceptions and promoting conceptual changes, which is to focus on preventingmisconceptions from forming.IntroductionResearch shows that it may be too late to correct and repair misconceptions of fundamentalscience and engineering concepts by the time students reach core engineering courses. 1, 2 Forexample, it is quite common that engineering juniors and seniors have misconceptions related toconcepts in heat transfer, fluid

In Year 2, the project transitionedfrom a project-based learning to work-integrated learning model. In the second pilot semester,students will experience a 3-week pre-internship preparation session and spend 12 weeks in apaid internship while taking engineering coursework. With this transition, the team designed anew curriculum and created a new research plan to learn from the work-integrated learning pilot. The purpose of this poster paper is to describe the transition of an engineering programfrom a project-based to a work-integrated learning model.

Validation of the errormodes has been conducted through inter-rater reliability studies and student interviews.Background In engineering education there are a number of central concepts and skills that formthreads which connect one content area to another within a discipline. These threads generallyconsist of basic or simple concepts and are central to a student’s engineering education becausethey form the scaffold upon which higher-order knowledge constructed. The recurrence of thesethreads throughout a curriculum or program of study is referred to as a trajectory. One aspect of these recurring concepts and skills is that they may

An approximation algo-rithm for the OLOA problem is then described that yields novel solutions to important engineeringcurricular design challenges.

Many of the innovations in approach to engineering education and the decreasein emphasis on lecturing as the primary method of material delivery have resulted fromknowledge and appreciation of student learning style.Of the many diagnostic tools available to measure learning style, The Myers-Briggs TypeIndicator1 (MBTI) is probably the most commonly used.

Given the pressures on universities to limit the number of credit hours required fordegrees, addition of a new course is likely to be difficult. An existing course may need to bedeleted from the list of requirements to make room for the new course. Even if a course can beidentified for deletion, there is likely to be competition to fill this slot with other proposed newcourses that would meet other critical needs in the curriculum. Finally, even if a programdecides to add a required technological literacy course, either a current faculty

A natural step beyond teaching these topics in some degree of isolation leads to a moreholistic approach to instruction, which is what we suggest in this article. Engineering educatorsneed to become aware of and responsive to the more humanistic needs and desires of students.
