Remmen, 2022). Using these methods, the researchers soughtto deepen the discussion on implementing real-world problem-solving projects by professorsacross a variety of contexts. Approval of all protocols for human subject research was granted bythe Central Department of Energy Institutional Review Board under application DOE000938.For this study, we collected data in one-on-one open-ended interviews with seven professors.Participants represented a blend of Research 1 or Research 2 institutions, though interviewrequests were sent to professors from all institutional classifications. Over 40% of intervieweeswere in their second or third year of the competition, whereas the remainder were eitherparticipating for the first time or had participated

Mikhail, Purdue University NorthwestAbstractThere are many types of work that fall under the STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) umbrella that students often do not consider when making career choices.Manufacturing and healthcare industries, government, and philanthropic agencies are amongthose that continually push future generations to pursue careers in STEM-related fields.

techniques to protect internet servers and provide security toonline education from such threats.1. IntroductionFor a millennium, universities have been considered the main societal hub for knowledge andlearning. However, over the last several decades, the basic structures of how universities produceand disseminate knowledge and evaluate students have shifted in a new direction due to societalchanges created by technology—computers, internet, instant messaging, e-mail, Facebook, andtweeter. The transmission of knowledge need no longer be tethered to a college campus. Thetechnical affordances of cloud-based computing, digital textbooks, mobile connectivity, high-quality streaming video, and “just-in-time” information gathering have pushed vast
evaluation results for paper notebooks were that although engineer’s notebook documentation standards were typically followed (generally by the end of the quarter), organization was very poor. Only 2 paper notebooks utilized a table of contents for locating information, and only 60% made use of page titles or headings to help clarify information. With regard to visuals, it was found that sketching was present in the majority (~70%) of notebooks. A table summarizing the results from the qualitative coding process in each category is found in Table 1; full results given in Appendix D. Scores of 0 were deemed ‘insufficient’ and scores of 1 and 2 were ‘sufficient’. Totals from each question given in percent of total student notebooks are shown in

In post-instruction surveys, instructors were rated 10 on a scale of 1 to10 for knowledge and effectiveness. The topics covered were rated from “helpful” (5) to“imperative to have” (10) on a scale of 1 to 10. In addition, teachers - especially the middleschool teachers, appreciated being given a broader perspective of the capabilities of the software.Pilot Program 2008/9Data from the second year of PD suggests that the sessions were very effective in enhancingteachers’ technical skills and building teacher confidence. Throughout the year, modificationswere made to the structure of the classes and to the content based on teacher input and
technical learning by producing podcasts and technical video content.1. IntroductionIn an era when most college students are digital natives, integrating digital media into courseworkis important for fostering a sense of connection and belonging. [1] Podcasts, for example, deliverdigital audio files through the Internet and are a medium to disseminate, transmit, andcommunicate information to a broader audience. More than just a tool for communication, theyare a powerful resource for enhancing learning. A vodcast is produced when a video is recordedin a podcast session, combining auditory and visual elements of digital engagement. Platformssuch as YouTube have significantly enhanced the dissemination of vodcasts/podcasts to diverseaudiences. As of

Casestudies were developed using GaBi™ Product Life Cycle Sustainability software based on lifecycle analysis to increase student exposure in different life cycle stages along with life cycledecisions. To incorporate both green energy and green energy manufacturing, the class wasdivided into two different modules where, Module I was based on Green/Renewable energy andModule II incorporated life cycle analysis, concepts of green manufacturing and project basedlearning.Module-I: The aim of this Module-1 was to provide basic concepts of Green/Renewable energy.This module incorporated various aspects associated with renewable energy such as GreenElectric Energy Systems, Wind Power Generation, Solar Energy, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) OutputPower
intwo-person or three-person teams (Session 2); they also completed the KAI® cognitive styleinventory (individually, before the start of Session 1). For the first session, students were askedto generate solutions to a design problem individually and to provide words and sketches todescribe their concepts. After this first ideation session, students were asked to generate ideas fora new problem in a two-person (or three-person) team; however, they were asked to record theirideas separately on their individual worksheets. For each idea generated in the team session,students were also asked to indicate which person from the team first verbalized each idea, aswell as how much each person contributed to the idea’s generation and development.Four

outreach program the department delivers two or three back-to-backsessions, depending on the number of registered students. Each session usually lasts 50 minutes;however, the time allotted to complete the activities might vary. The presenter must be able toadjust the schedule if the students arrive late or must leave early in order to reach their nextsession. The presenter must also be prepared to adjust in the event of unexpected technicaldifficulties.Table 1 illustrates a generic schedule of activities for the physical computing outreach session. Ingeneral, every session attempts always to share career information and the end-of-session survey,so any needed time adjustments are made for the other activities.

compared to the traditional approach.Introduction For approximately 10 years, the instructional team, consisting of technical and technicalcommunication faculty, has taught the Chemical Engineering senior capstone process designcourse the same way. The 5-credit course has been project-based where students in the sameteams (4-5 members) for the entire semester develop a process design, including all required unitoperations, equipment sizing, and energy requirements, and an economic evaluation of the finaldesign. In a typical semester, the design problem prompts are generated by the course technicalinstructors, and are not repeated semester to semester. The prompts generally consist of at mosttwo paragraphs identifying desired feedstock and

Businesses are able to introduce themselves to and interview female students with computing skills. 2. Female students can seek out internships, fulltime jobs, and even possible mentors. 3.

Of note is that members of Gen Z experienced the events of September 11,2001; they lived through a recession and high unemployment; they are familiar with a world atwar; their learning and formative years were interrupted by a pandemic; and they are the mostracially diverse and technically savvy generation of all.Research on this generation sets them apart in many ways from previous generations whoinfluenced the development of college courses, program curricula and support infrastructure.Gen Z’s unique experiences, needs, loss of learning, and potential creates a clarion call foruniversities to assess how they are best supported and
