the impact of coaching on preparation for this transition, thefollowing research questions were explored: (1) How does student opinion about coachingtransform through this class? (2) What new or revised perspectives do students gain, as bothcoach and coachee? (3) How does coaching equip students for the transition to the workforce?MethodsCourse curriculum – brief overviewA future conference publication will cover the course itself as a model using the “FourFrames”.12 Relevant course components for this study are explained in this section. The classwas developed based on the premise that early understanding of and adapting to the culture andclimate of a new environment will improve our engineering graduates’ workforce experience,promotion and
,information systems or robotics, can be applied “as is” to the construction practice. Actually, some currenttrends (expanding use of the design-build method of project delivery, and a tendency for engineering designpractice to become a more rote process, based on codes, manuals and computer programs) are yieldinga contention that the managing of construction ventures may be the most challenging professional field withincivil engineering practice35.The construction industry, as always, is undergoing constant change. Increasingly, the industry is lookingto university construction programs to meet the need for entry-level, trained engineers and managers to
innovation, and the tension between design engineering and business management cognitive styles. To encourage these thinking patterns in young engineers, Mark has developed a Scenario Based Learning curriculum that attempts to blend core engineering concepts with selected business ideas. Mark is also researches empathy and mindfulness and its impact on gender participation in engineering education. He is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering at Stanford University and teaches the course ME310x Product Management and ME305 Statistics for Design Researchers.

These approaches of-ten grow stagnant if they are not updated regularly, uphold hegemonic societal values anddominant images of user groups (see [27] for additional examples), inhibit critical reflection,and settle for very narrow definitions and

She has also contributed to the training and development of faculty in developing and evaluating various engineering curriculum and courses at UPRM, applying the outcome-based educational framework. She has also incorporated theories on social cognitive career choices and student attrition mitigation to investigate the effectiveness of institutional interventions in increasing the retention and academic success of talented engineering students from economically disadvantaged families. She’s also involved in a project that explores the relationship between the institutional policies at UPRM and faculty and graduate students’ motivation to create good relationships between advisors and advisees.Edward
addressed by a service-learningapproach to globally-based humanitarian projects2-4. The importance of integrating bothglobalization and social needs into the engineering curriculum is acknowledged by the ABETcriteria. Human need is also a clear priority of the engineering profession, as indicated in theNSPE creedi. However, the majority of engineering students are not familiar with the contexts inwhich vast needs exist, such as among the physically disabled or the 4 billion people living onless than $2 a day (PPP)5. These conditions represent formidable frontier design contexts,environments and situations outside the experience and expertise of most engineering students.

They sought to answer four major questions about service-learning:what is it, why is it necessary, how can it be incorporated, and how can it be assessed? Assessmentwas done by a series of reflections, similar to what this current paper will address.Compassion in the professional worldWe also examined the peer-reviewed literature beyond engineering education and service-learningand looked more specifically at compassion within professional preparation more generally.

, the projects themselves serve as the curriculum, where students encounter and learn central concepts via the project. • Driving question: PBL presents open-ended questions and ill-structured problems that “drive” students to engaging with underlying concepts. • Constructive investigation: the main activities of the project should cause students to construct new understandings and skills. If students can complete most of the project activities by applying prior understandings and skills, the project is not PBL. • Student-driven: PBL projects are student-driven vs. teacher-directed. Students are given less supervision, greater responsibility, and more autonomy to determine a project's solution
undergraduate curriculum. As a result, the course had a significantfraction of molecular content that was poorly covered by existing textbooks. This content had tobe covered exclusively in lecture, created an ongoing tension between use of class time forcontent delivery versus working interactively with students. A second factor was thestewardship of the course. Most of our core courses have a 3-4 year instructor turnover, and aretaught by research-active faculty who do not conduct education research as a scholarly activity.Thus the activation barrier to flipping a class is prohibitive for most of our faculty. However, inthis particular instance, the course had been taught by a single instructor (the author of thispaper) for more than 3 years using a
