This creates a cycle where becoming a more active professor in astudent’s life helps improve their engagement, their grades, and in turn the faculty member’sevaluation scores. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 2017 ASEE Zone II ConferenceIn this vein of a more positive faculty perspective, course evaluations play a supportive role inthe tenure process as comments from students aid in perfecting the craft of teaching. Continuousadjustments to teaching practice, in pursuit of learning effectiveness, can only happen through asupportive feedback loop.

scientific engagement gets started and sustained in moments and how longer-term trajectories of engagement become stable for learners over time.Andrew Elby, University of Maryland, College Park Andrew Elby’s work focuses on student and teacher epistemologies and how they couple to other cognitive machinery and help to drive behavior in learning environments. His academic training was in Physics and Philosophy before he turned to science (particularly physics) education research. More recently, he has started exploring engineering students’ entangled identities and epistemologies as influences upon their ethical reasoning across multiple contexts and also their teaching behaviors when they serve as undergraduate

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

Background LiteratureService Learning and Service-Oriented Projects. Service learning as defined by the NationalService Learning Clearinghouse15 is “a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningfulcommunity service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civicresponsibility, and strengthen communities.” Building from this definition, we can identifyspecific elements of service learning which are identified in the book Service Learning:Engineering in your Community9 as possessing the following elements related to engineering: • Service: Service to an underserved area or people. This can be direct, and ongoing, or project-based, involve hands-on aspects or research and analysis. • Academic

. Addressing this problem requires a paradigm shiftin teaching methods, from a paradigm of “teaching by telling” to one that more directly engages studentsat a conceptual level and lets them actively construct new meanings. Research, much of it in the sciences,has successfully demonstrated that a range of student centered instructional techniques can significantlyimprove students’ conceptual learning gains (Hake, 1998; Laws et al., 1999; Reddish et al., 1997; andMazur, 1997). There is a small but growing body of literature in engineering that supports similarconclusions (Prince et al., 2006, 2009). Several factors explain why engineering education has not yet fully capitalized on the research,primarily in physics, for addressing student

Such an orchestra exerts singular demands on eachindividual during rehearsals and concerts: the musicians must take initiative to diagnoseproblems, communicate possible solutions, and test/implement the discussed changes. In sodoing, they build scaffolding for effective teamwork. 2 But why not just teach these skills in other coursework? Why focus on engineer-musicians?Recent work in brain research suggests these students are already primed for leadership,teamwork, and
