investigated technology-enhanced learning research trends by identifying the 40 most influential articles and their authorsin the field. These studies are in computer science education-related domains, but none of themdirectly addressed computer science education research with a bibliometric approach. Papamitsiouet al.[25] have applied co-word analysis with social network analysis to keywords from two con-ferences’ publications in computing education. This bibliometric study characterized the CSERresearch landscape by showing the dominant research fields: learning approaches, aspects of pro-gramming, computational thinking, feedback, and assessment. Integrity and diversity are twoadditional areas that attracted researchers’ attention. Merlo et al. [26
to assess the quality of information was discussed. Many of the faculty responsesconfirmed that in the classes they teach at the undergraduate level scholarly research is not anintegral part of the course. In some cases, faculty stated they do not have their students search forinformation or resources concerning an assignment, but rather gave it to them directly or showedthem exactly how to access it, such as a specific technical standard, for example.Another common response from the faculty members interviewed was acknowledging thatundergraduate students do not read their textbooks and that they are often asked to do a greatdeal of work for each of their classes. One faculty member specifically stated that they “pullback” quite a bit on

Descriptive and in vivo coding methodswere used for first cycle coding, and pattern coding was used for second cycle coding. Thisproject was conducted with approval of the institution’s IRB, project #IRB2020-375.The graduate perspective on the role of GLAs in the lab Before any change in roles could be commented on, the initial self-perception of a GLA’srole and responsibilities in the laboratory classroom had to be assessed to provide a baseline for a“normal” in-person semester. Perhaps not surprisingly, all GLAs surveyed indicated that theynoticed a change in their role and responsibilities since

Students from other Engineering Departments could also work on sub-projects tofulfill the practical training requirements of their degrees.Conveniently, the final year projects were then directly assessed for the Engineering Council of SouthAfrica (ECSA) graduate attributes 6 (Professional and technical communication) and 9 (Independentlearning ability).

This technology helps tokeep students accountable for remaining current with the course materials [4, p. 22]. Anothertechnology that enables students to have the necessary content is electronic books (e-books). E-books allow students to read and reference the course textbook virtually. As technologyimproves, e-books are being modified to be read on mobile devices, which enables true remotelearning from almost any location [9]. Providing feedback to students is essential for them to realize strengths and weaknesses.A challenge for the online learning environment is having

Paper ID #28751Two Student Workshops on Identifying and Resolving Teamwork ConflictDr. Rania Al-Hammoud P.Eng., University of Waterloo Dr. Al-Hammoud is a Faculty lecturer (Graduate Attributes) in the department of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Waterloo. Dr. Al-Hammoud has a passion for teaching where she con- tinuously seeks new technologies to involve students in their learning process. She is actively involved in the Ideas Clinic, a major experiential learning initiative at the University of Waterloo. She is also re- sponsible for developing a process and assessing graduate attributes at the
teams by instructors with the expectation that theywould be able to work in teams effectively without receiving any teamwork training orconstructive feedback [12].Engineering programs need to find ways to effectively train engineering students in order tounderstand what is required to become a successful team member and what constructs associatedwith effective teamwork they need to master. However, training engineering students inteamwork is not a trivial task. In order to understand how to do it effectively, it is important tounderstand the impact that different teamwork frameworks which are used to assess a team’sattributes, process and effectiveness can have on student teams and the perceptions ofparticipants going through teamwork training

The fourth dimension isMasculinity, which groups the questions under Masculinity and Gender Equality. The lower thescore (minimum 1), the better disposition towards femininity.To assess the quality of the research, the study stands on previous studies conducted by one of theauthors [4], [6], [35]. Content validity was discussed and determined by the researchers inconsensus [36]. Construct validity is addressed by using a survey that has been proven to be aneffective tool to assess the cultural dimensions of a group [24], [29], [30], [37], [38] and the
systems engineering requires a flawless interface between team members workingtoward a common system thinking to correctly execute the design process. The focus of this paper wouldbe very much on techniques and challenges on curricular structures, course design, implementation;assessment and evaluation.Adding a UAV engineering experience into an undergraduate aeronautical/aerospace engineering programenriches the quality of the education. The students will be more confident when they discover that UAVflight will confirm what the equations of motion are predicting. This will directly impact their in-classeducation by helping them to better comprehend the theory. When students experience a real aircraft andfeel its complexity and capability, they

Everyonehas some connection with buildings, and the functions and systems of buildings can be exploredat any cognitive level and from almost any location. Because buildings are relatable andaccessible to everyone, there are many opportunities within the building industry to connectstudents with engineering and potentially spark interest in pursuing engineering careers.This paper aims to lay the groundwork for developing, implementing, and assessing the efficacyof a classroom intervention.

This paper is ultimately a call to action toinspire other educators curious about leveraging the appeal of game physics and PBA.Preliminary evidence presented in the paper suggests that physics can be taught with gamephysics, but with two different groups of researchers (physics/engineering andgames/computing) tackling the approaches for different goals, much remains to be studied: • Assessment of game physics in teaching physics to game programmers. The author’s current course and related work are part of games and graphics curricula that lack the formal assessment seen in ABET and educational research studies. • Investigation of programming environments for non-programmers

plan for a hypothetical “client”, abiomedical professor, who needed to measure human arm movement to test his researchhypothesis regarding stroke-induced impairment. The client, role-played by the instructor, had afew “meetings” with the students to exchange ideas and elaborate on project requirements.In this pilot implementation, we were interested in the students’ response to the open-endeddesign format. The main assessment tool was the reports written by individual students. Basedon the grading of the report, we aimed to identify common deficiencies and proficiencies so thatwe can improve instructions, guidelines, and/or structure to help improve students’ performanceand learning.The course structure for Spring 2016 semester and Spring 2015

So, B can be subdivided into two sub-categories: the behaviors the designer expects thedesign to have (Be) and those that are measured from the design (S) itself and called behaviorfrom structure (Bs).Different functions for the same design produce different expected behaviors that generatedifferent structures. An example of two different functions invoking different behaviors anddifferent structures for the same design using a cell phone is show in Figure 1.A design description is never transformed directly from the function, but is a consequence of

He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect
to solve problems [10]. Other studies focus on the impact of reflection onengineering educators and their teaching practices [11] or development as educators [12].Several studies examine reflection in the context of teaching design: one recommends using“structured reflection grounded in variation theory” to increase students’ metacognition of theirapproaches to design work [13], and another includes reflection as an approach to systematicallyteach design methods [14]. Another used reflection through interviews to assess students’experiences around human-centered design and found that students learned more aboutthemselves and human-centered design from the process, though it was not the focus of the study[15]. Thus, while some research in

other words, Kohlberg emphasized cognition as astarting point. Cognition became a dominant approach in moral psychology: for example, themost commonly used measurement tools for moral development such as the Defining Issues Test1 and 2 (DIT1 and DIT2) were rooted in the cognitive approach [10], [11]. Engineering ethicseducation has also developed in parallel with this stream. For example, engineering ethicsresearchers have used DIT and developed instruments such as ESIT (Engineering and ScienceIssues Test), which are both based on Kohlberg’s theory, to assess engineering students’ moraldevelopment [12], [13].However, some engineering ethics researchers argue that engineering students’ ability to makemoral judgments does not necessarily predict
