Cell/smart phones possess a unique combination of ubiquity, portability,connectively and low cost which together could make them a valuable educational tool.1 As amethod for providing training and education, m-learning is commonly defined as “e-learningcarried out by means of mobile computational devices” that are “small, autonomous andunobtrusive enough to accompany us in every moment of life”.2Today cell phones
challenges listedare: • the alignment between governments and universities in their priorities and vision for engineering education; • the challenge of delivering high-quality, student-centered education to large and diverse student cohorts; • the siloed nature of many engineering schools and universities that inhibits collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning; • faculty appointment, promotion and tenure systems that reinforce an academic culture that does not appropriately prioritize and reward teaching excellence.Now that we have seen a summary of what Education 4.0 ought to look like and what some ofthe challenges for implementing transformation are, we will consider some
perspectives regarding ESI. At theend of the survey, respondents were asked to provide their email address if they werewilling to be contacted for a follow-up interview. Of the 1448 survey respondents, 230indicated willingness to participate in an interview.The second phase of the study involved conducting interviews with educators to learn moreabout their ESI instructional practices and general perspectives regarding the integration ofESI into the engineering curriculum and educational experiences of engineering students.Between September 2016 and April 2017, 52 survey respondents were contacted forinterviews with the intention of conducting 36 interviews. Selection of these individuals wasbased on an iterative and collaborative process within the
Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Successes and challenges in supporting undergraduate peer educators to notice and respond to equity considerations within design teamsAbstractWe describe and analyze our efforts to support Learning Assistants (LAs)—undergraduate peereducators who simultaneously take a 3-credit pedagogy course—in fostering equitable teamdynamics and collaboration within a project-based engineering design course. Tonso andothers have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those amongstudents within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broadercultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;McLoughlin, 2005).

). c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Using Undergraduate Mentors to Scale the Teaching of Engineering Writing Many engineering colleges have standalone courses to teach writing to engineeringundergraduates. Often, these courses reside in departments of English. For example, such acourse with multiple instructors teaching several sections each semester can be found in theEnglish Department at Rose-Hulman [1]. In other colleges, the standalone courses reside in thecollege of engineering itself with a prominent example being at the University of Wisconsin–Madison [2]. Still, in other colleges, the courses reside in the engineering departments. Anexample here would be

Page 25.253.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011APPLYING KNOWLEDGE FROM EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY ANDCOGNITIVE SCIENCE TO A FIRST COURSE IN THERMODYNAMICSIntroduction The fields of educational psychology and cognitive science have done much to advancethe understanding of how people learn. The overarching goal of this paper is to survey theliterature from these fields to glean the most important, or promising, ideas to improve theteaching and learning of
engagement and learning outcomes [8]. These ten practices are: first-yearexperiences, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, writing intensive courses,collaborative assignments, experiencing different worldviews, community-based learning,capstone experiences, undergraduate research, and internships. In particular, undergraduateresearch and internships are relevant to engineering education but are not utilized by allundergraduate students (as opposed to a required capstone design experience). Thisunderstanding of high impact practices, the engineering education landscape, and the variationsin access to these experiences amongst students led to the focus on the role of undergraduateresearch and internships on engineering task self
funds the Online Education Initiative (OEI), a collaborative effort amongCalifornia Community Colleges to ensure that significantly more students are able to completetheir educational goals by increasing both access to and success in high-quality online courses10.The initial focus of OEI is on high demand courses, to allow students who are unable to takethese courses at their home institutions to take the courses online through other institutions thatare part of the consortium. With a focus on high-demand courses, none of the courses offered inthe OEI consortium are in engineering. For the case of engineering courses in the state, it hasbecome increasingly more difficult for small community college engineering programs to offerall the required

Over the past 4 years, Dr. Hamilton have been leading the efforts for developing immersive virtual environments for conducting data analyzes of tradespace data sets. The immersive data visualization systems allows stakeholders the ability to visualize the tradespace options, subset the data, and work in collaboration with other analysts within the same vir- tual environment. Other research interest includes using virtual reality for enhancing classroom education in engineering programs. c American Society for Engineering

of thispedagogical approach on students’ ethical development through the lens of the 4DDD model.These findings offer implications for engineering educators who are designing learning activitiesand environments to foster ethical development. Constructs from the 4DDD can be integrated tocreate interventions that facilitate ethical development via active learning, understanding thebroader context, and systems thinking and by tapping into students’ value, interest, andautonomy. With the hydraulic fracturing intervention, granting students the autonomy to conducttheir own research and guide peer collaboration fostered interest and engagement. Situating theactivity in the broader context of engineering in society helped students appreciate
a low-cost method forintroducing collaborative learning into the classroom. More importantly, students have respondedextremely positively – even going so far as to request a team test for the final exam!6.

(or memorized). Therefore, the approach of maximizing partial credit based onmemorizing a few problems is counter to the goals of an engineering education. Furthermore, itcan be said that the current partial credit grading model rewards students for pretending that theyknow how to solve a problem, even when they don’t. This means our grading model ispromoting behavior that is explicitly unethical for professional engineers, according to theNational Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers [7] (paragraphsII.5.a and III.1.a).A second practice affecting learning is the copying of homework solutions from onlineresources. Collaboration on homework has occurred at some level since graded homework wasintroduced, but the
