catalyze a viral process that enables sustainable systems to multiply from site to site. In this approach, the University of Utah is working as the catalyst with the local “catalyst‐in‐training”, MUET, which more generally could be a University, an NGO, a government agency, local Service Providers (SP), or other key stakeholders in the identified Community of Practice. The catalyst seeks to (a) build capacity of the actors, (b) facilitate data management and ongoing dialogue among the actors in the community, and (c) build capacity of the local University, or other identified entity, to serve as the next catalyst in a new district. In the next step, the ‘local catalyst’ organization is then poised to take on the catalytic role with

faculty reflection logs written by twoengineering professors at a public university in the United States. The research was reviewed byour university’s Human Subjects research review board and all data collection and analysis wasconducted according to the resulting protocols. The faculty reflection logs cover two differentclasses of the same university over two semesters each, Spring and Fall 2019, for a total of fourfaculty reflection logs. In some cases, these logs refer to prior faculty reflection logs created by afaculty member at a nearby university, University B. Each class was taught by the sameprofessor for both semesters; we call these professors Professor A and B, as shown in Table 1.Both are part of the broader research team and co

Curtis, a fourth-year theatre anddance major who specialized in costume design stated, “I would rather see the engineer paintthan being trusted with making some of the other creative choices.” Anita, a third-year theatreand dance major joked, “All engineers are allowed to paint, except Sam" as a result of himmaking several painting errors during the project such as not keeping all strokes in the samedirection

These students at University B are all a part of an interdisciplinary cohort and attend weekly research group meetings. University C students are also volunteering to participate, also over only one semester, but all student volunteers are taking a class at the same time they are building an ePortfolio.

assessment of the presentations. The rubric used in theElectromagnetics course is included in Appendix B. A similar one was used in the Statics andDynamics course. The presentations were graded using the following criteria: • Organization • Grammar • Content • Eye contact • Creativity • Audience interaction, Q&A • Presentation style • Audience response • Use of language: word choice, voice • Length of presentationThis rubric is similar to the rubric used to assess traditional style presentations, except in thepresentation style criterion that was added to
minimized [2]. The dynamics of the panopticon areexemplified in the design of Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon as illustrated in Figure 2(b) [19]. Theauthor intends to draw on Foucault’s interpretation of Bentham’s panopticon. These are not one-to-one analogies as the instructor does not offer a “performance” in the lecture hall nor is theobserving instructor invisible to the students in the computer lab as she would be in apanopticon. The analogies hold at the level of the underlying assumptions while designing thesespaces vis-à-vis what type of interactions in the space are anticipated and planned for. (a) (b

How comfortable are you solving engineering design problems that ensure biological requirements? a) They are easier than almost any other design problems. b) A bit easier than almost any other design problem. c) Can't say. d) A bit more difficult than almost any other design problem. e) Much more difficult than almost any other design problem.This question was designed to detect any change in comfort at working with design problemsthat incorporate both biology and thermodynamics. The students were given such a problem inthe 2D week, and so if the students were capable, their comfort level should

The facilitator provides the opening to a sentence.A good open sentence fits these criteria: it is in the first person (an “I” sentence), it has manypossible completions, and it prompts personal reflection. To offer a real-life example from afirst-year engineering course centered on biomimetic design, an instructor might prepare studentsfor a new project with prompts such as “I am excited about

For its part the government believed that students onthese courses should have their education broadened. Following a 1955 report from theInstitute of Adult Education on Liberal Education in a Technical Age [5] in 1957 theMinistry of Education published three circulars on Hostels [6(a)], Libraries [6(b)], andLiberal Education in Technical Colleges [6(c)]. The concern in this paper is with thecirculars on liberal education and hostels.Circular 323 while recognising that it would be difficult to incorporate more study in day-release courses required that such courses be given and suggested that these might be inhuman relations.
