Equally challenging is finding effective methods to communicate centralfeatures of technological systems to a diverse student audience with limited backgroundknowledge

the aforementionedskills and is a common theme in many STEM in particular engineering and medical disciplines.And for the second issue where students’ mastery of the skills is to be demonstrated andevaluated, we find concept maps to be fitting because of their use of both content and processknowledge to create visual maps of a diagnostic strategy to identify technical problems 8,9 .We have found the needed platform to assess concept map based active learning in a NationalScience Foundation funded project, “Advancing Diagnostic Skills Training in the UndergraduateTechnology and Engineering Curriculum”. On one hand, the project uses concept map to bothsolicit input from domain experts and assess student outcomes. On the other hand, the

term system diagram is used describe a visual depiction of the elements of a systemand their interactions. Systems are then a graph of nodes and links. In some cases the termconcept map has been used to describe visual representations of systems. However, theapplication of concept maps is more general than node and link system diagrams. While systemdiagrams could be classified as a type of concept map, not all concept maps are system diagrams.To avoid confusion with the more general nature of concept maps, this work uses the term“system diagram” to refer to a visual representation of the elements and interconnections of atechnological system. A system diagram is node and link diagram in which the nodes representsystem component and the links

within the system, and the inter-linking of components or processes to each other to make integrated wholes. 3. Changes over time (dynamic characteristics): Displaying an awareness of transformations of components or processes within the system of interest that may change over time. Identification of feedback loops and control processes. 4. Multiple perspectives and hierarchies: Demonstrating the ability to observe the system of interest from different levels of the system hierarchy and multiple points of view.Node and link diagrams are an intuitive means to develop a visual depiction of the elements of asystem and their interactions. Some educators and researchers have used the term concept map todescribe visual

valuable benefit. Students had to study the outdatedmaterial, research the subject, and update the information with the latest developments andissues, drawing conclusions based on comparison between the book statements and theactual reality.Results and InterpretationAssessment of student learning is considered a challenging issue in courses on engineering andtechnology literacy (15). Development of a concept map requires selectivity and judgment,classified at the “synthesis level” of Bloom’s taxonomy. This requires a high degree of cognitiveengagement, and therefore when the students debate the technology- intensive subjects in partsIII, IV, V, and VII they are required to develop concept maps of their subjects to support theirstatements.The

may be more universally achievable. Kindness avoids setting up ahierarchy. There are not ‘victims’. We don’t need to understand the particulars of circumstancesand sit in judgement. Kindness is also associated with the positive emotions of happiness andjoy, in contrast with compassion [27]. Further discussion of the affordances of kindness as amodel for engineering are discussed after the literature survey process.Connections between kindness and other concepts that resulted from an attempt to summarizethe literature are shown in Figure 1. While certainly not exhaustive, keeping these relationshipsin mind is helpful.Figure 1.

with underrepresented engineeringstudents to learn about their experiences of professional socialization into the culture of engineering. As I havelooped through and around both projects using my arts-based methods of concept mapping in a paper journal, poeticwriting, drawing, and oil painting as well as qualitative analysis memos, I have come to better understand mypositionality as a White [42] female doctoral candidate working on diversity in engineering education and how itaffects my process of analysis and interpretation. My process is different than in positivist methods where isolation,control, and replicability are valued [60]. In my framework, there are no borders or separations other than the ones Icreate as I order, re-view, and re

somethingdifferently about one- fifth said they would have changed their method. The preferredalternative was concept mapping. Taken together the students confirmed McDonald’s findingthat pupils differ in their ability to profit from examples but more students prefer a mix ofpositive and negative instances with positive examples beginning the sequence.Knowing about studentsAll the evidence suggests that we do not know as much about our students as we think we do.If you think that is contentious then ask yourselves how much you know about the learningpreferences of your students. Or, to put it in another way- “is your teaching influenced by thelearning preferences that your students have?” I suggest that many teachers when faced withthis question will have to

the lecturer team to periodically seed the students reflective activities with probing, engaging, and open-‐ended questions to allow students to reflect on the material, cooperate with each other and share perspectives on the material. As a result the students will re-‐examine and re-‐express the concepts in terms of their personal perspectives and experiences. This is what concept maps, memory maps, and similar tools do in most cases. Students should also work on verbal, written, drawing, and other communications venues to express their thoughts. The essential part is that their work needs to be reviewed and critiqued by an
