part is delivery. Lectures is the traditional method of delivery of themessage [28]. However, this class will use several delivery methods to facilitate individual workand group collaboration. The primary method of delivery will be to use the module that will bemade available online and in class to guide the class sessions as the students will see the topicstructure, relating examples, and visualization for a particular week, and cued for the next topicfor the following week.Evaluation instrumentsThe evaluation instrument element are methods and instruments that will be used in this classthat will evaluate learner’s mastery of each outcome [27]. This is primarily performed usingsome form of feedback mechanism, such as asking the students

Thus,each item of the survey was further examined for face and content validity.One question utilized in this analysis asked students to “Please rate the current likelihoodof your choosing a career in the following:”. The various career options were “Mathematics”,“Science/math teacher”, “Environmental science”, “Biology”, “Chemistry”, “Physics”,“Bioengineering”, “Chemical engineering”, “Materials engineering”, “Civil engineering”,“Industrial/systems engineering”, “Mechanical engineering”, “Environmental engineering”, and“Electrical/computer engineering

The research team sent at-home engineering kits that contained an instructioncard, materials, and tools for engineering challenge activities in five engineering disciplines.Caregivers were instructed to video-record their engineering activities, creating approximately100 hours of video data. Then, caregivers participated in in-depth online interviews about theirpedagogical expectations in educating children, specifically in STEM education.

designed the online tool to mimic an authentic labexperience. It includes physical representations of circuits that students would normally see in lab,like breadboards. It also includes a mechanism to take voltage measurements in the circuit. Bylogging all mouse and key clicks in the browser window as well as user replies, we observe bothstudents’ reasoning and actions as they work to understand the error in the circuit. Thus, our newtroubleshooting tool allows us to capture rich data for large number of students quickly andeffectively (and now remotely).Using our new tool, we were able to better understand how students approach troubleshootingcircuits. We were able to analyze where and why students got off track during the troubleshootingprocess

This is because AR can be accessed with different technologies such astable PCs, mobiles, and tablets. With an increasing number of mobile device owners, AR isavailable to more people. Furthermore, AR applications increased dramatically because themobile device is simpler and more portable (Martin et al., 2011). Compared to othertechnologies, AR has several advantages. Firstly, AR improves interactions between students andtheir student peers (Kamarainen et al., 2013), between students and the materials (Kamarainen etal., 2013), and between students and teachers (Zarraonandia, Aedo

engineering, social justice isa practice that invites to create in and for the real social problems, such as poverty. It means, theknowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics should transcend thehypothetical realm to articulate themselves as engines for defeating this problem. And for that,design is one possible transversal component in STEM areas through which the creation ofsolutions can materialize this idea according to the needs of each population. However, it seemsthat these professionals are not prepared for this task. How can education help with this? This systematized literature review seeks to explore the following questions to clarify onepart of this problem: What type of studies have been conducted to integrate
domain-baseddesign such as electrical, mechanical, software, et al with a minimal or no level of SE concepts,principles, and practices required to effectively and efficiently perform system development.System development, especially for moderate to large, complex systems, adds a new dimensionof complexity beyond domain-centric engineering concepts. It requires education and training inthe “engineering of systems” – i.e., Systems Engineering. Where voids exist in this knowledge,the organization’s ability to “engineer systems” is typically characterized as ad hoc, chaotic, anddysfunctional rather than efficient and effective.In response to these operational needs, this paper explores the ad hoc, chaotic, and dysfunctionalnature of Systems

and assumes a background in geometry, algebra, calculus and physics.Admittedly, this course is the source of much angst for both students and instructors. I was toldto expect students to be unhappy with the amount of work the course entails and that they wouldcomplain. I was also told to expect a relatively high DFW rate (percent of students earning D andF grades or withdrawing from the course) and a relatively low teaching evaluation.The first year went as expected. Most of my preparation had been spent relearning the material,as I hadn’t studied statics in well over twenty years. That meant I ended up relying on theprepared PowerPoint decks provided by the publisher. I did deviate from the historical twomidterms and final exam structure of

The introduction to the project and the milestone assessments are done during class time,while construction of the projects are done outside of class. Students construct their projects intheir own creative vision. Materials, electronics, and methodology are all decided by thestudents, with the instructor available for advice or troubleshooting on particular parts.Generally, students gravitate toward cost-efficient materials like plywood and acrylic.
