. Civil engineering course content changes over time. [31] ABET is one of themost obvious influences on the curriculum and programs continue to make changes in responseto ABET changes. [32] The FE exam content serves as another influencing factor on curricularcontent in civil engineering programs. The civil engineering FE exam consists of 110 multiplechoice questions in eighteen subject areas. One of the subject areas, Ethics and ProfessionalPractice, includes licensure as one of six topics, but a student has less than a 1% chance ofencountering a licensure question on the exam. [33] Many programs use the FE exam for studentoutcome assessment, further connecting programs to the examination part of the licensureprocess. [12] Another critical

In this quantitative assessment, the professors analyzed the Likert-scale data collected from 187 engineering students from multiple sections of an engineeringfoundation course.Research has shown that a person’s belief in their abilities is critical in translating theirconfidence into successful actions. Likewise, the engineering student’s belief in his or her abilityto perform foundational math, science, and analytical problem solving skills, as well as be aproductive member of a high achieving team, will increase the probability that the student willperform well academically, persist through engineering curricula successfully and become

Enthusiasm for Mathematics through RoboticsAbstractThis evidence-based practice paper describes the study of generating enthusiasm for mathematicsthrough robotics. A survey of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute undergraduate students taking theRobotics I course showed that, while many students have a great interest for mathematics, morethan 1 in 4 of those same students expressed that they were not adequately prepared for themathematics required. This is particularly concerning for those teaching engineering coursesbecause concepts of robotics and mathematics are very much intertwined. Therefore, thisinspired a study of younger middle school and high school students to i) assess preexistingnotions of mathematics and robotics, ii) introduce an

it isstraightforward to organize the information for the selection process.The selection of the students is conducted in a double-blind method. The student and schoolnames are first redacted from the documents. An initial committee makes an assessment of thestudent’s interest by reading their essay, and will assign them for possible selection to allrelevant mentors. Each mentor then receives a packet with student information, and makes theirselection of their top three candidates. The committee then places the selected student-fellowswith the corresponding mentor, trying as best they can to first place all the top candidates.Once this is accomplished, students are informed through e-mail of the status of their application,but for those

Along this process, activities that are mandated for this concept arealso prepared in advance as a set of what we call TIED-UP sheets. TIED-UP sheets include short quizzesthat test conceptual knowledge, along with problems of varying level of complexity that enable theinstructor to assess the student’s knowledge.

Asix-year strategic plan set goals for overall growth of the school to include the addition of newprograms. However, before adding programs and stressing the current system more, recruitmentand retention activities were initiated across all disciplines. As part of the emphasis on retention,multiple mentoring activities were developed. For engineering students, this helped themunderstand the relevance

is that becausecomputational thinking processes can be viewed as goal-directed processes, it is possible to useself-regulated learning theory as a framework for assessing and enhancing computationalthinking. Secondary educators have minimal experience with teaching computational thinking inthe United States, so not only is a clear definition of computational thinking necessary in theNext Generation Science Standards, it is also necessary to have a learning theory from which tostructure this type of thinking. Finally, the study reviews growing role of computation inmathematics and science fields.Pedagogy is not solely an act of teaching, its performance embeds values, evidence,justifications, and characteristics of who we are.
