all three authors, andwhen their codes were compared, an initial agreement of 97% was obtained. Minormodifications to the coding scheme were made, and following discussion, all discrepancies incoding were reconciled and 100% agreement was reached. The remaining years 2012-2021 werethen coded by one coder, with each author coding three or four years of JEE articles. The first level of coding examined the general method used; quantitative, qualitative, ormixed methods. In this review, the general method categorization used the following definitionsto code the articles. Quantitative research was defined as a set of experimental designs, methods,statistics, data analysis, and modeling that aims to represent observed outcomes
the keywords should appear in the titles or abstracts once selected[15]. Our initial queries employed search terms from "AB Abstract" in EBSCO, yielding 3,889articles. We then narrowed down these articles using four filters: scholarly (peer-reviewed)journal, full-text available, a date range of 1993 to the present, and English. Applying thesefilters resulted in 1,843 articles sorted by relevance. Two independent authors screened theliterature for cross-checking. After removing duplicate research studies, we reviewed the titlesand abstracts of these articles using the search criteria mentioned above. If the articles' relevancecould not be determined from the title and abstract, we read the full articles for furtherevaluation. Disagreements

Before theworkshop, participants were encouraged to speak with prior S-STEM PIs at their institutions,even if in other disciplines, to glean from their lessons learned (whether positive or negative) andutilize that information in developing their projects. During the workshop, they were introducedto tools such as logic models to help with project planning and to initiate conversations as theymet with prospective project evaluators. One of the novel elements of our project was that it not only provided training, but alsoincluded a research component designed to generate knowledge about the participants’experiences in developing and submitting S-STEM proposals in order to illuminate challengesthey

The rules of the Marconi Challenge allow physicallymodifying the half-intensity angle of the IR LED, which is nominally 45 degrees. Theperformance of different IR LED-lens and lens-phototransistor configurations is compared.

The environment provides student with a CAD training toolthat facilitates initial learning of CAD without the software. The developed training environmentfacilitated learning on the user of CAD software. However, it did not enhance studentunderstanding of solid modeling concepts.Bibliography 1.

Students were required to write these steps as part of the pre-lab portion oftheir laboratory report.At first, there was resistance by a number of students, who felt that all they wanted to do was“complete the lab”. Eventually, those students who offered some resistance found that, contraryto initial beliefs, the laboratory assignments actually took less time to complete, if the procedureswere followed. Some students told the instructor that they applied this problem solving approachto other laboratory based courses.Toolbox concept Page 10.1067.2The next approach in helping to develop

From the focus group interview with students, two major challenges were reported,assignments and diverse topics. For assignments, the students felt “bombarded” with them bothbecause of the unexpected number of assignments and the required effort (e.g., writing theproposal). The students

Our research isfounded on the premise that these initiatives will be more effective if they are (1) grounded inresearch about successful faculty teaching practices, (2) integrated with local evidence regardinginstitutional context, student perspectives, and faculty perceptions and behavior, and (3)informed by theories of learning, faculty development, and institutional change.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Pedagogical Techniques to Promote Development of Graduate Engineering Students as Disciplinary WritersAbstractAs demands for research productivity increase, faculty, particularly untenured junior faculty,must efficiently expedite the development of their graduate students’ disciplinary writing skills.In response to this need, a semester-long graduate course was offered within the Department ofCivil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Carolina for the first time in2012. The primary course outcome was for each student to prepare a manuscript ready, or nearready, for submission to a peer reviewed engineering journal at semester’s end. To facilitate
Carnegie Foundation forthe Advancement of Higher Education. Initially, 15 graduate students expressed interest in theprogram. These students were divided into two separate peer groups. Over eight consecutiveweeks, these groups met and each participant built their own teaching portfolio. The programwas completely voluntary; participants did not receive course credit or compensation for theirparticipation.We designed a qualitative, ethnographic research study9 to formatively evaluate the EngineeringTeaching Portfolio Program and to understand the meaning of the program for its participants.Consistent with ethnographic approaches, we collected data from a variety of sources in order toenhance the rigor, or trustworthiness of our results9. We used
additional categories of description or even possibly change itentirely, should we find a better one (see Section 4). Findings concerning how Katrinaknowledge influenced design from our initial, single-institution analysis not only address ourresearch question (see Section 2) but also suggest a variety of new research hypotheses (e.g., seethe last paragraph of Section 4).While the focus of this analysis was on responses to Q8 (i.e., whether and how knowledge ofKatrina affected design task responses), initial coding was performed by reading the entire post-task interview transcripts, tagging each protocol question asked (for subsequent navigationalpurposes), and inductively coding (i.e., without a priori codes) all Katrina-related responses
. Thishelps to narrow the focus of the review and ensure that only relevant articles are included. Next,keywords related to the research question are used to do a full search of relevant databases likeScopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The resulting articles arescreened for duplicity and eligibility based on the inclusion criteria. The selected articles are thencritically evaluated for their quality and relevance to the research questions. Finally, a synthesisof the findings from the eligible articles is conducted, and the results are organized and presentedin a clear and concise manner.In this study, the initial literature review examined a selection of studies based on specificcriteria. These criteria included: (a
