Inorder for the student to receive this grade they had to demonstrate during this oral exam that theirknowledge was on par with a 75% exam grade. During these oral exams many students have difficultyexplaining how they solved the problems. This often led to student questions and self-reflection by boththe student and teacher that allowed both to identify common misconceptions.Surveys were used in 2018 and 2019 to get anonymous student input to determine if test correctionsencouraged learning from their mistakes.

Although post-survey results for the ETSC 277 course shows a dropin confidence, as students performed our inquiry-based engineering lesson, we view this as arecalibration of their personal reality as they were ultimately able to make positive learning gainstoward our robotics lesson. This was reflected in learning assessments throughout the quarter. Infact, student frustration with inquiry-based lab curricula is well documented in science education,where lab students valued more authentic scientific exposure. In general, experiencing thecomplexity and frustrations faced by practicing scientists is challenging and may explain thewidespread

All these effects contributed to prevent mistakes in the process.To sustain these improvements, the revisions to the lab assignment will be made permanent; theinstructor and teaching assistants will look for clarifications in other assignment instructions. In thefuture, students will be asked to anticipate failure modes and how to prevent them as part of the pre-laboratory assignment, then reflect on those predictions in lab report conclusions. Training on otherLean Six Sigma techniques will be included in the curriculum.This project demonstrates that even a brief, 75 minute Kaizen event held for freshman circuits studentscan improve their

Professional preparation in engineering has been moving to acollaborative model with multiple socio-technological dimensions, as part of learning to solveengineering problems cooperatively (Dym, Wesner, and Winner 2003). One way to increase thestudents’ content knowledge and to prepare them for the workforce is blending students’information literacy with project-based learning (PBL) using real world examples.Information LiteracyThe American Library Association (2015) defines information literacy as a set of integratedabilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the

While these coping skills are generallyobserved behaviors, the choice of student major may also be an indicator reflecting the use ofavoidance of math.Technical Degrees Pursued Despite Math Anxiety.

The federal Office of Personnel Management(OPM) places ET under the same broad category, “All Professional Engineering Positions,” thatincludes those with 4-year engineering degrees (OPM, 2012). Technically, this means that somewith 4-year ET degrees from institutions accredited by ABET can be hired by the federalgovernment, but the OPM rules restrict hiring to entry-level jobs (GS-5, pay range $27k-$36k;those with “superior academic performance” may enter at GS-7).Some within the ET field believe that this OPM provision

analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning

These students place themselves at risk of failure because they do not work towards growing in their understanding of mathematics [9]. A person’s dislike for math often occur during the beginning stages of school [9]. Moreover, one’s dislike and uncomfortableness towards math may remain with a person for many years and can lead to a lack in self-confidence by hurting one’s rationale and thoughts [4]. Possessing a fixed mindset can hinder one’s potential for math success as this mindset lacks self-reflection and embracing new ways of learning [3]. A person with a fixed
