This paper explores some opportunities and invites the reader as a partnerin re-creating engineering education for increased impact as well as greater faculty fulfillment.The ChallengeHere’s the typical scenario playing out across U.S. engineering colleges. A dean, departmentchair, or perhaps a small collection of faculty are concerned the college is not doing enough indistance education and fears the institution might be left behind its peers in exposure, number ofgraduates, and tuition revenues. A decision is made to rapidly grow online offerings. The basicgoal is to increase enrollment in current courses by

Educator reflection after looking at and discussing the concept maprevealed ways in which the problem engagement may differ from the perceived design intent.Implications: We consider the potential for the proposed method to support design andfacilitation activities in problem-based learning (PBL) environments. We explore broaderimplications of the approach as it relates to 1) facilitating a priori faculty insights regardingstudent navigation of problem solving, 2) instructor reflection on problem design and facilitation,and 3) supporting problem design and facilitation. Additionally, we highlight important issues tobe further investigated toward quantifying the value and limitations of the
as racism and oppression. To draw oneach of the perspectives on a diverse team, individual team members must be willing to takeintellectual risks (e.g. asking questions, expressing doubt or uncertainty, posing new ideas). In aprevious paper, we proposed that individuals may be hesitant to engage in risk taking because itcould impact the team’s trust in their expertise or competence [3]. For example, a graduatestudent on a team might hesitate to voice a concern that has not been identified by the facultymembers – resulting in the team having to navigate a preventable issue later in the project.Cultivating a sense of psychological safety is one way to encourage team members to takeintellectual risks [4]. In this paper, we draw on Edmonson’s [4

formerly known as the “FAA Design Competitionfor Universities” until August 2014 [14]. As quoted from the competition website [13], The Competition is managed for the ACRP by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium of Hampton, Va. This Competition challenges individuals and teams of undergraduate and/or graduate students working with faculty advisors at U.S. colleges and universities to consider innovative approaches related to airport issues. Students can win cash prizes for their winning innovative design solutions. First place winners present their work at a national award ceremony. Full details are provided in the competition guidelines.The evaluation criteria on the website are organized by section

research position is hard - from difficulty in getting them toknow about the open position, to being in a different building, to not having those students inclasses from which to recruit. Getting the potential students to bypass the fact that the researchposition is in engineering also takes some convincing. Lastly, is the issue that the students seethis as ‘hourly work’ - something they do on the side, which does not contribute to their degreerequirements. Figuring out a way to partner with faculty from psychology and/or education maylead to better partnerships and more acceptance from the students and their faculty.PI Ciston, on the other hand, works primarily with undergraduate students. There is a strongculture of undergraduate students

a measure of how the diverse community perceives librarians and theprevailing social attitudes to librarians, not just the services and resources, which are availablefor library users to become more informed about diversity—hence, their own cultural attitudes.“Whereas recent library literature has emphasized the growth of ethnically and racially diversepopulations on college campuses and in academic libraries, interventions have tended to focus onoutreach opportunities and library instruction for traditionally underserved populations, and noton issues of approachability or reference service” (277). One irony of diversity may be thatwhile institutions committed to diversity recruit students, faculty, and staff from geographicallyscattered

instructor’s perspective, a description using words related to variousscenarios would still be deductive reasoning because the calculus, algebra, arithmetic tools are atthe mastery level embedded in memorization already. An application of linear approximationusing deduction by a faculty would be able to resolve any “probable” issues arising from theinduction reasoning concerning daily experience. From a student’s perspective, the numeric skillat the mastery level embedded in memorization would free up working memory for theunderstanding of physics. The freeing of working memory to create scenarios with words wouldfurther enrich the induction reasoning process. An example of an audio script to enrich theinduction reasoning process is shown in Appendix

issues, such as a local sport team’s new stadium. Other problems included lead waterpipes in their high school. We asked students to identify all potential stakeholders for theirproblem and select three stakeholders to analyze their power to address the problem. Lastly, thestudents provided solution suggestions that addressed stakeholders’ concerns and differences inpower.We present each of these pedagogical strategies as cases or examples of how power can betaught in engineering design courses. We explicitly draw on theories of power from socialscience to inform our creation and teaching of these activities as well as interpretation ofstudents' responses to the activities. Theories give us the ability to recognize, describe, andrespond to some

Along with the obvious benefit ofdeveloping team problem solving and discussion skills, students receive fast feedback on theirperformance, the instructor spends less time reviewing the exam (in class and with individuals),and the classroom environment benefits from the added value placed on collaboration andreciprocal learning. This paper describes a number of variations on the team testing idea anddiscusses how factors in the course affect the type of team test to develop.In a team test, the students complete an individual test paper as well as a group test paper. Theindividual component enforces individual accountability and allows the instructor to askquestions in formats that do
