-Learning based Engineering Programs: A Cross- Cultural Exploratory and Comparative Case Study in India and the USAAbstractReflection is one of the pedagogical components which differentiates service-learning fromcommunity service and makes student learning authentic. Reflections have been studied widelywithin the U.S.; however, it is relatively new in India and less investigated. This paper is anexploratory case study between three institutions from two countries.The first program is a design-based engineering program that uses the service-learning pedagogyat a large midwestern university in the U.S.. Students reflect individually on a weekly basis andsubmit a final reflection at the end of the semester. The second program is part of a

The NFDM model is made up of an organizing committeeand a performance feedback loop of the key program elements.There are three key program elements of the NFDM to support new faculty mentoring: peermentoring groups, mentor-mentee relationships and workshops. Peer mentoring groups areformative communities of groups with like interest. These groups are typically made up of twoor more people of equal status and can vary from a small group to a large network. However, atAFIT, the groups may vary in military rank status and are composed of eight or less facultymembers. These groups may discuss strategies to include new

This is certainly trueat the University of Louisville’s J.B. Speed School of Engineering (SSoE) college, in whichengineering-based mathematics courses are taught “in-house” during the first two years ofundergraduate engineering programs. Several studies [e.g. 2] have shown that the challengesfaced within this math sequence are driving factors in SSoE attrition. While SSoE has madeconsiderable effort to improve these courses to enhance student success, the fact remains thatmany students find them quite difficult and, on occasion, overwhelmingly challenging.

The MAP evaluates a student's growth orfixed mindset, while Grit assesses their passion and persistence in achieving long-termobjectives. We predict that students with higher grit and mindset scores will display morefavorable attitudes toward science and mathematics.Preliminary results show that students' mindset scores remained relatively unchangedthroughout the program.

At the same time, lab writing exercises supportstudents in becoming effective communicators by engaging them in purposeful documentationfor a technical audience [3]. For this reason, lab reports are often used to assess ABET’sengineering student learning outcomes 3 and 6 [4] in many engineering programs. Although labreports are one of the predominant tools for evaluating engineering students’ achievement inexperimentation and communication skills, assessing lab reports is challenging for engineeringeducators.
