engineering education. Similarly, storytelling for the purpose ofconstructing context for a decontextualized problem is a skill necessary to practice moralreasoning and dovetails with the goal of developing curriculum around real-world problems aswell as students’ personal experiences.To our knowledge no research has been conducted to assess the potential of the problem re-writeto introduce socio-technical context into technical courses [25]. Many studies use the termcontext to refer to physical materials or environment but not necessarily humans or socialstructural factors. For example, Surovec [26] uses the term context in an assignment that asksstudents to “identify, photograph, model, idealize and analyze items or structures found locally(on

possible solution to a problem identified in therecent research literature: despite decades of efforts dedicated to the improvement of engineeringeducation, and despite the many advances that have been well-researched and are readilyavailable in the literature, the faculty are not readily adopting them because the time required todevelop them exceeds substantially the normal course preparation. There are several positiveindicators that the summer immersion program is working; however, it is still too early todetermine if it has achieved “systemic and sustainable change”, and if there is an effect onretention rates, graduation rates, and employer satisfaction. The study has also uncovered twoprincipal weaknesses that must be resolved: 1

Whileusing the .10 significance level is common in exploratory research like the present study, it shouldbe noted that all but two of the significance differences also meet the more rigorous p ≤ .05 level.

,formative assessment approaches aim to develop talent, which is more likely to reduce barriers facedby female engineering students as well as those students in underrepresented groups in STEM fields.These methods encourage reflection, which enhances learning, and they increase the intrinsicmotivation to learn, which teaches skills and creates enthusiasm for life-long learning. This is thegoal of education. Engineering education reimagined to allow a cycle of try, fail, study, try again,and learn, based on a growth mindset, is progress toward providing true quality education. It alsolevels the playing field, increasing the possibility of success for women in engineering, and reducingbarriers often encountered by students of color, indigenous

prohibited a true control and treatment group approach for this study. The study asdescribed here indicates that student learning and academic performance appears unchangedfrom more “traditional” teaching approaches. Computer engineering students reported beingneutral to very slightly negative about use of LP, with electrical engineering students reporting aslightly positive view of the approach. The authors have reason to believe that the logistics of theLP tool installation biased students toward the negative. Arguably, the population size was smalland the study was limited. It is hoped that other researchers will apply LP to HDL education attheir institutions. Additional study is required with more students. The instructor’s experienceusing LP to

studies stress the importance of first-year college experience, andindicate the first-year GPA as the best predictor of attrition. The adoption of an activelearning format whereby student participation is highly encouraged has the strongestimpact on students’ academic performance and their attitudes towards engineeringprofession4.Despite of the fact that many students may have been academically prepared andmotivated to study engineering, 50% of students who enter engineering programs asfreshman do not earn an engineering degree2, 3. The gap between engineers neededannually and the number of graduates available to fill positions is wide. Some expertsplace the need as high as 117,000 a year, while U.S. colleges produce about 65,000 to70,000

Systems Engineering and the Scientific Method - The Scientific Method is a fundamentalbasis for scientific development. Like SE it is not a one-size-fits-all cookbook method andrequires intelligent tailoring of fundamental principles to achieve desired outcomes. TheScientific Method is learned early in STEM education and applied across multiple courses thatfollow. Systems Engineering, however, is just as fundamental to engineering and most non-systems engineers, in our opinion, graduate with little or no understanding of even the mostfundamental concepts2.

, there are limited tools to assessthe impact of various approaches.Fortunately, the challenge of describing leader development (a necessary prerequisite todeveloping it) has been taken up by the leadership studies literature with increasing interest overthe past 15 years. This field has used the complex, individual and staged characteristics ofidentity to explore those same aspects of leadership development. While identity has provenpowerful in describing leader development in this field, identity has not seen widespreadapplication in the engineering leadership literature, let alone its programs.While early research indicates that engineering leadership development may be well-served byidentity-based approaches, the existing literature is only

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected

get a job in theirparticular field. Now the situation is different because there are more people with degrees, jobsrequire higher qualifications, and the world is rapidly changing. According to the U.S. Bureau ofthe Census, in 2010, only 27% of Americans were using what they studied in universities; thus,most students are likely to work in a job not directly related to their major. The same census datashowed that roughly 60% of the U.S. college graduates were working in fields where theirdegree was not required [10]. There is certainly some transfer of learning to related areas;however, research has shown that transfer of learning is not nearly as general as expected. Thisraises questions of how education needs to change to make it more

I obtained my Biomedical Engineering PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My work focused on computational biomechanics. More specifically, developing musculoskeletal models of the body to simulate movement and see how surgery and soft tissue injury affects movement. During my graduate work, I was also a teaching assistant for Introduction to Biomechanics where I developed a love for teaching. I then did postdoctoral research at the University of Kentucky where I experimentally measured movements (e.g running form), which provides
