After the retreat, faculty were invited to join one of these existinggroups for sustained engagement, switch to a different group, or propose a new group. From thisexercise, four affinity groups evolved: a. Project Spine Courses: How to align student outcomes b. Revolutionizing Math Intensive Courses c.

Based on these contemporary instructional practices inengineering, new understandings of a) how engineering students interact with peers and usecourse-specific resources and b) how peer interactions and resource use correlate with courseperformance are essential for supporting engineering instructor decisions as they select anddesign course resources, develop group work activities, and implement new interaction strategiesin engineering courses.To investigate potential relationships, we employed Social Network Analysis (SNA

While most of the students could make connections for the specific examplesexplained in the class, many faced a hard time when a new situation was given to them.Conclusions from the Study:The main concerns identified from this preliminary study are the following: (a) Many students have trouble in identifying and connecting to the pre-requisites required to solve problems related to a new concept. These pre-requisites include those from elementary mathematics. 10 (b) Many students have trouble in connecting the related information learned within the same
-group analysis of variance at a significant level of 0.05 toexplore how participants of different full-time teaching experience rated the items differently.As discussed in the data analysis section above, we divided the participants into three groupsaccording to their reported full-time teaching experience: a) new teachers, b)moderately-experienced teachers, and c) expert teachers.There was a significant difference in how participants rated the importance of DET,F(2,66)=6.12, p<0.01, w2=0.13. Post-hoc comparisons using the Tukey’s HSD test indicatedthat moderately-experienced teachers (M=3.53, SD=0.33) and expert teachers (M=3.62,SD=0.25) rated the importance of DET significantly higher than new teachers (M=0.29,SD=0.36).

Though there is not widegender diversity, representative of the discipline as a whole, there is diversity across participants’backgrounds especially their previous education, ranging from first-time college students tothose working on their second bachelor’s degrees. There is also diversity in participants’personal epistemologies resulting from many combinations of beliefs about simple and certainknowledge and personal justification of knowledge. These dimensions came from Greene et al.5and represent a range from (a) students agreeing that knowledge was simple and certain and didnot feel they played an important role in justifying their knowledge (weak personal justification)to (b) those

In addition to establishing direction for research that would meet the needs of teachers and practitioners of engineering communication, such a workshop would also assist the

Other studies reached similar conclusions. For example, a study at the University ofTexas, where interactive online tutorials were used to support Mechanical Engineering labs, alsofound larger improvements among the sections with access to the tutorials8, as compared with thesections that did not use the tutorials. The study also found that Active and Sensing learnersbenefited more from the virtual labs than Visual learners did. These observations supportFelder’s assertion that Active, Sensing and Global learners are the main beneficiaries of ateaching style that includes a mix of

This builds the skills needed to achieve basic requirements. c. Homework has students practice core concepts or common practices on their own to prepare for the projects. For example, a homework assignment has students learn a new command and write test code for it. This builds
