availableon campus.Our faculty-assignment optimization tool uses Linear Programming (LP) with the objectivefunction being the maximization of the overlap between the courses to be offered in a semesterand the faculty members’ preferences and skills. This maximizes the chances of every facultymember teaching courses they are interested in. A set of constraints is created to ensure the fullcoverage of all courses/sections to be offered and also to ensure that no faculty member is assignedto teach more than a pre-determined teaching load limit. The tool is embedded in a web-basedapplication and is available for the public to use.One of the greatest features of the tool is its objectivity. It generates the faculty-course assignmentsbased on the faculty
processes. Almost every factor has been analyzed such asstudents, parents, and socio-economic conditions, as well as school curriculum and standardizedtesting. But very little attention has been given to factors affecting the quality of instructionprovided in the classroom. We have examined and revamped curriculums, standardized testing,and methods of teaching; but there has been very little mention of the teachers themselves. Yetteachers are the ones who are with the students for most of their learning years, which amountsto approximately 15,000 hours of schooling [1]. It is important to realize that teachers do matter,but what is ironic, is that there is no reliable or objective way of identifying excellent teachers [2].There are different types

pedagogy showed that it isnot uncommon to have comparable assignment scores when using traditional teaching vs. flippedinstruction. Instead, the positive class experience and the elevated confidence of the studentstowards their learning and understanding were the major significance of class flipping in this study,as described in section 3.2 below. Table 1. Survey Questions In this class, the instructor asked you to complete activities, discuss items, and in general, participate. What is the impact of this instructional style on your learning and development? In this class, the instructor asked you to do some learning on your own outside of class and then come to class prepared for solving exercises

Instructor-generated guidelines for developing comments are provided on the websiteto help students think critically and gain clarity on their position. Students post comments to thewebsite on a voluntary basis.Through this collaborative project, we explored two questions 1) How does a pedagogical modelbased on socio-cultural theory and incorporating cross-cultural activities support undergraduateengineering students in socio-cultural and ethical thinking, and 2) How do students develop theirprofessional identities through socio-cultural and ethical discourse.

As shown in Table 3, three tools with the highest scores in thesurvey are technical contradiction and 40 invention principles, physical contradictionand separation principles, and functional analysis, which reached 4.15, 4.11, and 4.09respectively. The mean value of these three tools is all greater than 3, and the standarddeviations are all less than 1.The survey on the effects of TRIZ shows that: Firstly, all TRIZ tools can positivelypromote innovation, and a small standard deviation indicates that there are less disputeson the value of these tools; Secondly, the assessment on effects of TRIZ tools are verydifferent.

Figure10.SRTISummaryStatisticsandComparisonsStudent surveys and instructor impressions both indicate that the second iteration of the course was moreeffective at integrating the LGBTQ+ and “Tech” aspects of the course. Indeed, none of the kinds of negativestudent comments from the first course instance were seen in the Fall 2016 surveys in this connection.However, the number of hours available in a 1-credit seminar was still limiting the degree to which the courseobjectives could be achieved. This is borne out both in the student comments and in the instructors’observations of project completion.4.

The class employs an invertedclassroom approach to increase student engagement with the content and instructional staff [1].In the second semester, students learn hand-drawn and computer-aided design (CAD) graphics,and they participate in a large cornerstone design project.The most popular of the second-semester cornerstone design projects is the robotics project. Thisrobot project has many components which have been developed over the years [2]. Teams offour students are tasked to design, build, program, wire, budget, and document an autonomousrobotic

Many NGOs operating throughout the developing world would be grateful forsuch technical assistance. University engineering programs could provide this kind of testingand analysis as an opportunity for meaningful research.

distance engineering students are active military or veterans. This compares toabout 12% of all engineering students enrolled at UND.Cavalli has previously investigated differences between on-campus and distance students in bothgeneral material science courses [1] and composite material courses [2]. Results from thematerials science course showed a trend of distance students underestimating their knowledgecompared to performance on pre- and post-tests. Campus students tended to overestimate theirknowledge. In the composite materials course, campus student knowledge estimates were moreconsistent with their actual performance and distance students tended to overestimate theirknowledge relative to pre- and post-test performance.

The advantages of this technology overany other identification technology is that RFID can send and receive information remotelywithout human intervention, ability to read multiple tags, does not require line of sight, capableof maintaining higher amounts of digital data, and higher supply chain security [1]It is generally accepted by researchers and educators in horticultural science that horticulturalcorps include; tree, bush and perennial vine fruits, perennial bush and tree nuts, vegetables,aromatic and medicinal foliage, seeds and roots, cut
2016, theconcept of engineering education accreditation which emphasizes student-centered,outcome-based education (OBE) and continuous improvement, has been more widelyrecognized and promoted [1][2]. Practical teaching, especially field practice teaching, isconsidered to be an important part of engineering education [3][4] and plays a crucialrole in cultivating students' ability to combine theory with practice, think independentlyand communicate, work in a team as well as solve complex problems, and in improvingstudents' sense of social responsibility and interests in engineering [5][6][7].Compared to common practice teaching course, field practice teaching courses(especially those involving the accommodation at the site of practice
, also referred to as inductive learning have been extensivelyresearched. While the results of these various pedagogies vary, in general, their effect on studentlearning has been demonstrated to be positive in comparison to traditional lecturing. A numberof active-learning approaches have been used to improve the learning of Science, Technology,Engineering Mathematics (STEM) concepts. These range from hands-on experiences using dailyobjects to web-based simulations and robotics. Most of the lessons in these active-learningexperiences are based on connections with real life examples. A common theme has been‘amusement park physics’ for web-based simulations teaching concepts of potential energy,kinetic energy, and centripetal/centrifugal forces

Cooperative learning is typically associatedto final course projects and simulations are associated to ludic games or software simulations usedin class These results are not surprising due to the fact that engineers are typically oriented towardproblem-solving in real-world contexts. Although the inventory of AL techniques provides aframework for characterization, it is limited when assessing the evolution or improvement ofteaching practices.

It was clear in the planning process that students desired design and constructionas an important aspect of the proposed scope of work.4.1 Scope of Work and Research PlanThe original list of proposed research topics generated by the faculty considered what wasalready known about student interest, faculty interest, laboratory capabilities, and timeconstraints. That list was: 1. Mechanical testing of a variety of 3D printed materials, including common materials infused with strengthening agents. Candidate materials included: • High strength PETT t-glass • ABS carbon fiber 5% • Multi-walled carbon nanotubes
