important tool for imaginative or creative self-expression. Infact, the use of poetry for the cultivation of creative thinking, imagination, reflection, andcommunication skills has been widely recognized in several scientific fields, including medicine[2, 3, 4], nursing education [5, 6], science education [7], mathematics [8], neuroscience [9, 10],biology [11], and conservation science [12] among others. Hence, it can be argued that poetry canbe an effective teaching and learning tool in engineering education as well.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: In the next section, we provide a review of therelated literature. The following section describes the course and the specifics of the poetryassignment. We then present an overview of

The models will show the significant factors with thecategories of Instructor Interaction and Feedback, Classroom Environment, and Modes ofTeaching for overall student satisfaction. The significant factors were then implemented into atest

. Costs reflect resource requirements to address complex endogenous and exogenouschallenges that require strategies for allocating resources, and monitoring and adaptingstrategies to ensure accountability.Program accountability is also important in flagship institutions. However, smallperturbations in degree programs strategies of flagship institution can be major problemsfor regional universities because of insufficient resources to quickly adjust for unintendedconsequences of these strategies. The signature of engineering degree programs in regionaluniversities is graduating successful practicing engineers and mid-level managers for regionalcompanies and regional operations of larger companies from a student population that includes

of statistical concepts, enhanced by the necessary technical foundations intheory and programming.IntroductionCritical thinking is an important skill for engineering students and is the central theme of ourcourse redesign in one of our core Industrial Engineering (IE) courses. According to philosopherPeter Facione, critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, orcommunication, as a guide to belief and action [4]. In layman’s terms, critical thinking isreflectively thinking through and making decisions about a problem using logic and

Figure 3: Percentage of the video coverage by cohort (Pre-activity, Post-activity, and Pre-exam)3.2 Learning OutcomeTo help determine whether long or short-length videos were more effective, we also measuredstudents’ performance on in-video quizzes throughout the semester. The same quiz was given toboth groups. We continued using EQ 1 to determine which cohort students qualified for, and thecohort sizes were adjusted to reflect the earliest time period in which students watched the videos.In other words, now students only appear in one cohort. Figure 4 shows the percentage of studentswho took the video quiz in parenthesis for each cohort and the average percent scored for eachcohort on the x-axis. For the short group, the video quiz was at the

clear: students need access to information and encouragement to pursue thatinformation if they are to successfully detect and resolve discrepancies through adaptation anddecision-making.Points of ImprovementGame Assessment. We found that the weekly reports were helpful in familiarizing the gamemasters with teams’ decision-making processes, and would like to continue this form of serialassessment. However, the prompts for these weekly reports should be more specific, and shouldalign with the learning frameworks identified in our analysis. We propose that in each weeklyreport, teams should be asked to reflect on the following: (1) What discrepancies exist betweenexpected and actual results of the previous week, (2) what strategies led to the

of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication,as a guide to belief and action”.10 In this context, critical thinking targeted in this study is thestudents’ ability to gather information through various activities and connect and integrate thisinformation for use (as a guide to action) in a more complex assignment. The approach used issimilar to the one employed in Linder et. al. study in terms of assignment sequencing andbreaking up a larger assignment into smaller assignments. However, the smaller assignmentsused in this study are different in nature and type, and how they are connected

Additional considerations we took into account that are well reflected in the academicplanning model are instructional resources and processes, both of which were importantconsiderations in our program, especially considering the special issues associated with growinga new program where student enrollment is relatively low. For example, new program had topromote hands-on approaches in courses and outside the university to make it an active anddynamic learning experience.

Data is currently being collected using a different set of students with the same conceptualquiz but taught the topic in a traditional classroom manner (control group). Afterwards, we plan toprovide a comparative analysis of both approaches, control group versus experimental group anddisseminate the results..

. Instead, a newseries of assignments asked students to reflect on their understanding of what it means to be achangemaking engineer, and to identify situations where the methods and models of ISYE 340could be used to effect positive change.Revising Lecture MaterialsTo meet the goals of the RED project, RED topics should be introduced into the course whilecontinuing to meet the primary course learning objectives. One way to achieve this is tointroduce common OR models by using RED contexts. For example, the characteristics of LPsmight be introduced using a two-variable example of growing corn or wheat with limitedresources of time, water and fertilizer. The scenario is easily understood but might seem quaintto U.S. students who envision large
