Cohort Graduates, Number of Responses and Program Begin Date2.3.2 - Instrumentation and ValidityThe survey of employed by this study evolved from two primary sources: (a) it was premisedheavily on an original Latif & Dyrenfurth study6 which addressed comparable researchquestions, and (b) a collaborative effort of the researchers and senior graduate faculty (Dr. JamesMohler) highly experienced in research methods. This development process resulted in a surveywhich is provided in Appendix B. To ensure we were measuring the content we were intendingto measure and not something else (content validity), we deliberately
maintaining and enhancing faculty technical currency andfaculty development activities in order to improve the quality of instruction inengineering technology programs. 1. At the personal level: a) Faculty members should do a yearly self-inventory of their technical currency, and should identify areas of technical content improvement, and address them through appropriate studies and co-curricular activities. b) Identify and address instructional technology and classroom management techniques areas to improve teaching effectiveness. 2. At the program/department level: a. Administrators/chairpersons need to allocate appropriate amounts of funds for faculty

exchanging ideas with the audience for new andimproved methodologies and to increase the effectiveness of the methodologies presented here.OverviewMany institutions in the United States have formed online or distance learning centers anddepartments for many years now. In their evolving processes of planning and improvements fortheir online distance education and learning centers, they recognize (a) the significance ofinformation and communications technologies in supporting student access and learning; (b) theformulation of an overarching teaching and learning framework that informs and directs thedevelopment of online learning; and (c) the resourcing of equipment, systems and infrastructureto support widespread use of these technologies in program

It is the other 30–40% of the class that will fundamentally distinguish it from a from atraditional dynamics course. An IDLC class will typically begin with a 5-minute introductory 4lecture in which the instructor presents the goal of the day’s IDLC activity. This introduction isintended to (a) point out important things students should look for during the activity and (b)provide a context for the students’ work so that they see that what they do in class is indeedrelated to “real-life” problems.

systems selected are (Figure 1): garbage compactor [11], and b)punching press. These are relatively commonplace and simple systems that students will be ableto relate to their operation, and more important to be able to have good discussion aboutcapabilities, specifications, options, and provides opportunity for potential improvements of thesystems.

mentoring partnerships; and Characteristics of both the mentors and mentees. Another consideration in the degree of formality is the extent to which guidelines for the mentorship roles are outlined, including relationship goals, how and when to interact in the mentorship, and a prearranged length for the mentoring relationship. b. Tie strength: Intended closeness of the mentoring relationship. [30] The concept of tie strength can be used to define how close a mentoring relationship is, i.e. strongly or weakly tied. Typically formal faculty-student relationships evolve to strongly tied relationships, but ultimately it is a function of breadth, intensity, and duration of interactions. c
amounts of funds for faculty professional development activities. b. Curriculum development and revision activities should be synchronized with faculty development and training activities vis a vis technical currency in order to optimize teaching/learning using continuous quality improvement. c. Faculty should be encouraged to pursue industrial experience via mini- industrial sabbaticals and consulting work. d. Administrators/chairpersons need to realize the importance of pedagogy in teaching and learning. And they should provide training opportunities for faculty to strengthen pedagogy in order to improve student learning/success.3. At the Institutional/Organizational level: a
