How to think critically about standards development and technology solutions; c. About the pace of standards development in terms of technical change; d. How standards help drive innovation; e. How standards development process provides good technical solutions; f. Why standards are flexible.What are the needs of undergraduate and graduate students?Harding (2011) further notes that the state of standards education at the university level isdiverse. There are different needs at the undergraduate and graduate levels: a. Undergraduate students require a basic level of

Goals are to foster enthusiasm in thescience of earthquakes and earthquake engineering, expose the students to earthquakes in ahands-on, interactive, exciting environment, and activate student interest in STEM whileengaging curiosity and creativity.

observers.Throughout the process, lesson study teams reported their plans and progress to the whole groupduring monthly meetings. During these meetings, ideas were exchanged, problems werediscussed, and innovative solutions were created. This provided each team with a source ofsupport and encouragement and allowed them to take advantage of the collective wisdom andexperience of all of the teachers involved. The fall semester concluded with final presentationsby each team to the entire group summarizing their lesson study activities and future plans.evaluationThe project hypothesis is that improved teacher content knowledge in the area of engineeringdesign and technology related concepts and improved pedagogical skills will lead to higherteacher quality and
conversations about thistopic, there is an opportunity for faculty members to challenge the idea that success inengineering is based on a meritocracy. Faculty can encourage different thinking throughdiscourse in the classroom and course rubrics. Faculty taking these steps can be a start tofostering a culture in which students hold intelligence with less value in social comparisonsamong their peers. Knowledge about a subject matter does not always make you better atdesigning a solution; being willing to learn, having curiosity, and expressing different ways ofthinking and doing can also lead to innovative ideas.Consciousness RaisingIn the design of this study, there has always been a social justice framework of not only doingresearch to enact change but

The activity sheet is replicated below infull:Engineering Activity (Archimedes Launcher)BackgroundThe great mathematician and innovator Archimedes was one of the greatest engineering mindsof the 3rd century B.C.E. For his students, he long proposed a simple competition early in theyear to test each mind’s ability to design the future. Each of the engineers would assemble intoteams of four for the competition. The challenge presented to each team was to create a machinethat could launch a boulder and compete in three trials in a single day. The first was a trial ofstrength to launch the boulder the farthest. The second was a

And yet, this area continues to be considerably under-researched, despite apost-COVID shutdown era when many innovations in home-based educational STEM andengineering education were developed with early learners and their parents and caregivers.Taking an ecological approach to learning encourages the acknowledgement of the significantassets and strengths of learning opportunities both within and outside of the classroom.Moreover, applying an ecological lens to engineering learning fosters the positioning of parentsand caregivers as full participants and partners in early childhood engineering education,suggesting there is much the field can

programs introducing “design across the curriculum”approaches to student engagement; our programming extends this logic to include designcoursework as a strategic location for comprehensive sociotechnical integration for engineeringstudents. Finally, the key assessment component—and the thrust of our argument—is that ABETassessment practices can and should be crafted to advance programmatic innovations anddifferentiation rather than constraining them. Since we are not yet accredited, this may be a risk,but it is a risk worth taking and one that we believe is well aligned with ABET’s stated goalssurrounding assessment best practices.Ultimately, our key achievement at this stage of program development is to have created ABETperformance indicators

To address this, this student is actively involved in a project on how indicators of the social impact of this company's operations could be added to the sustainability report. Secondly, the student also discusses a norm of dehumanizing or prejudiced discoursea bout the members of these communities.
