the attitudethat teaching is really their primary job. They need to know that good teaching requirespreparation, an organized presentation of the material, honoring of office hours, and respect forthe student body. Faculty can be visited in class, can be sent to courses where teaching isemphasized and can be mentored by local master teachers. Teaching can be evaluated againstthe peer group with clearly delineated standards of excellence, or at least satisfactoryperformance. Good teaching is essential at every university, and even those focusing onresearch, will not tolerate bad teachers. So, it is easy to resolve the teaching portion of the fourhurdles: bad teachers should go, good ones should stay. Service is similar in that it is easy to

This paper will describe the system currently in use that isbeing tested on students.BackgroundComputer aided instruction has come a long way since the early days of drill andpractice, however, there is still much to do. Current research in computer–based tutoringsystems have yielded us few programs suitable for field use, but have provided us awealth of didactic functions. Among these are problem solving strategies and moretactical discourse elements. Both of these are intended to help students bridge theirunderstanding for the material – an engineering course in this case – to new knowledge.The

anonline course based on the need of materials to be delivered 1-2. For example, web pages andFTP site can be used to hold general course materials. Mail lists and newsgroup can be used fordiscussion in the class. IRC and audio/video conferencing can be used to engage real-timediscussion and hold the Question/Answer session for students.The online delivery approach makes it possible for students, who live far away from a campusand can not afford to attend the school due to their work schedule and family responsibility, tocontinue their education. Distance learning has several advantages compared with traditionalclassroom setting, particularly: Page
. Given these conditions, a mechanism to promote consistency of student outcomemeasurement must be established. This comes in the form of Performance Indicators (PIs). ABETdefines these as statements that “represent the knowledge, skills, attitudes or behavior students shouldbe able to demonstrate by the time of graduation that indicate competence related to the outcome.”2 Proceedings of the 2025 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX Copyright © 2025, American Society for Engineering Education 2Example student outcomes and their respective performance indicators

Additionally, theexperienced students usually display behavior suggestive of boredom because some ofthe material covered, such as professional skills, might be redundant to their education, asthey have already mastered such skills through years of work experience.

This process engaged the students with the material in anactive way, which Felder & Brent[21] have shown encourages learning within students muchmore than a teacher centred way. This was also to align with the essence of work integratedlearning, where the students are working on real life projects, rather than studying knowledgeand content.The workshops were also aimed at encouraging a deep approach to learning, which is moreabout understanding the material rather than memorising facts. As both Ramsden[11] andBiggs[14] identify, encouraging students to take a deep approach to learning

KateIn looking at the teaching materials used by Engineering-First, the potential value thatengineering education could add to the curriculum was evident. Incorporating maths, science,literacy, history, design & technology as well as art, engineering can bring together differentareas of learning in a ‘real-life’ situation to provide children with an exciting and interestinglearning opportunity. - Barriers to Engineering Education in SchoolsWhilst the potential value that engineering education could add to the Primary SchoolCurriculum was discussed by all of Engineering-First’s employees; the

We redesigned our problem-solving course to emphasize the application of theproblem-solving heuristics shown in Figure 1 across contemporary topics using practical skills.While Loksa et al. use an explicit strategy of coaching students through six problem-solvingstrategies for programming problems, we recommend similar strategies to our students, but morebroadly and across various types of problems encountered in Computer Science 36,27 .

Currently, each section of MEEN 1310 and MEEN1320 has less than 50 students. The lecture sections of both courses are taught in a regularclassroom without student computers. Although the instructors are using projector andpresentations to show some real-world engineering examples in the classes, the studentscannot try those examples in the classrooms.

A shortened description ofthe case study that we used for the anthropology and engineering classes can be seen below: Greg is an African American mechanical engineering student who is working on a group project for one of his design classes. Greg tells his roommate Sarah, a white woman and civil engineering student, that his group has repeatedly delegated the less-technical tasks (presentation making, project organization, etc.) to him, despite his strong grasp on the class material. He also notices that they talk to him a lot about sports rather than the contents of the project at hand. Sarah says that she can relate to some of what Greg has experienced because of her

For this reason, it is important to understand theperceptions of the working group where culture plays a very important role during theprocess.

In New Zealand, a study assessing thequality of interdisciplinary relationships and the perception of collaborators found thatarchitects disagreed with the lack of vision and the traditional way that engineers havein their designs, while, on the other hand, engineers complained about the lack ofstructural and mechanical understanding of

Thisscheduling had two advantages: (1) the module could draw on the entirety of the course’stechnical material, and (2) students could focus on the module instead of worrying about studyingfor their final exam.
