Being a college freshman student issufficient to understand the content of this course.Instruction consists of:a. Topics introduced through lectures, discussions, and reading assignments;b. Students working individually and collaboratively to complete assigned tasks and projects;c. Field activities, Internet, and library research on assigned subjects;d. Oral and multimedia presentations and written assignments;e. Quizzes, midterm test, and final exam.After an extensive search the selected book for the course was “Technology and Society:Issues for the 21st Century and Beyond / 3rd Edition” by Linda S.

. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

The quantitative parameter identified to be the most closely related to this criterion was therate of success of students in the subsequent courses following statics (e.g., strength of materials,dynamics).Step 2: AnalysisA root-cause analysis was subsequently undertaken once the two quantitative criteria wereidentified. This analysis led to the following conclusions: 1. The high non-completion rate is likely linked to: a. The pace of the course, which may not correspond to the preparedness of the students entering the course. b. Inconsistencies in the grading practices of instructors teaching the course. c. Instructor-centric pedagogies. 2. The inadequacies of students’ statics knowledge and
subscribe to this ideology value a programmed curriculum, and the psychology underpinning it to be found in behavioural psychology, as for example that of B. F. Skinner. In engineering education it can be seen in the systems of mastery learning and personalised instruction that were experimented with in the 1960’s and 1970’s [18; [19]; [20]. While behavioural psychology was replaced by cognitive psychology it is relevant to note that there are many politicians and administrators who believe that computer assisted learning might come to be used to replace lectures which are considered to be conveyors of the same knowledge that is to be sound in textbooks. Evaluation is very important to those who hold this ideology. There are

In 2011-12 there were 74 sections of the then-equivalent of FYS 112;b only three of those sections were taught by faculty from the professionalschools (one from the college of engineering and two from the college of education and healthsciences). The second author was concerned that students perceived this lack of participation inFYS by the faculty of the professional schools as a lack of endorsement for the value of liberaleducation.c She wanted the lecture to emphasize the significance of FYS as a foundation for allareas of study at the University

While Table 1 reflects issues identified at the workshop it is important to note thatnone of these tensions are isolated, i.e. they all depend on each other in the larger, inter-relatedsystem that is engineering education.

Thestatements about their relationship to technology were a part of an electronic questionnaireabout the beginning of the engineering studies, presented to the group at the end of the firstsemester in autumn 2017. The second group comprised upper secondary school students whoattended a university course in Basic Electronics in three consecutive years from 2017 to2019 (Group B, N=101). These students were motivated to study this technology-relatedtopic but did not necessarily intend to pursue a career in engineering. The course wasvoluntary, and the participants were awarded both university and upper secondary schoolcredits for the completion of the course. The questions were a part of the feedbackquestionnaire of the course. In the first

larger impacts with non-course basedproject based learning experiences. However due to the very fact they present opportunities toexplore concepts free from grading makes direct correlation with course based models a bit morechallenging and difficult. The assessment strategies must differ to capture skills learning not directlyfocused on final grade and thus as well only creates more challenges to correlation with course basedwork.REFERENCES1 C.H.

good. An alternative approach is to develop courses for upper-level non-engineering students based on technical subjects that (a) are interesting and educational to thestudents, (b) do not rely on large amounts of prerequisite knowledge and mathematical skills, and(c) are taught by regular engineering faculty. Such courses can then be offered as electivecourses to students in non-engineering disciplines. These courses would offer students in otherdisciplines the opportunity to learn about technical subjects of current importance from engineerswith expertise in these areas, but without expecting mathematical rigor for which they may notbe prepared.In this paper, the author describes his experiences with preparing and teaching a seminar courseto
