Do to the nature of thecontinuous (or at least semi annual) process, this is much easier that in the past just lookat everything once every six years. The college’s fourteen degree plans: ChemicalEngineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer
Pedagogy, Gravity Model, Learning Outcomes1. IntroductionMore and more educators agree that games can be used as effective tools for their educationpractice. Until now, most game-involved education practices are for K-12 group [1, 2]. At thesame time, it’s rare to find games being used for higher education. This phenomenon existsbecause the target knowledge for K-12 group can be more easily delivered through existinggames, when compared to the target knowledge in higher education.The nature of transportation education requires students to observe, design, and interact with thetransportation system. Unlike chemical engineering, transportation experiments require largescale field experimentation and have human factor impacts, so lab-work-based

Session 1648 Recommendations for Establishing Small Scale K, 1 Outreach Angie Hill Price Texas A&M UniversityAbstractThe need for general K-12 outreach has been the focus of many organizations on a broad scaleapproach. While that is certainly admirable and desirable, it is possible to initiate programs on avery small scale. Outreach is a viable plank in the platform for tenure as a service component.New and established faculty would profit from the opportunity to hone and refine teaching skillsand submit their own
Session Number 2158 Teaching Well Online: Part, I, Instructional Design Helen M. Grady, Ed.D. Mercer UniversityTeaching online is not as simple as placing your lecture notes on the web—you must design thewhole educational experience differently. This two-part presentation focuses on the need forinstructional design, and also for interactive teaching and learning. Part I focuses on how toapply the principles of instructional design to online training materials or courses.Systematic instructional design enables a course developer to answer three basic questions:(1) Where

Engineering Education, 2012 Developing a Cross-Cultural Model of Problem Solving: Comparing U.S. and Indian Engineering UndergraduatesThe process of globalization has changed economies and the workplace worldwide. As thisprocess has evolved, competitiveness has become a central issue. According to a typical metricof competitiveness used by government agencies and the media, which is the number ofengineering graduates, the U.S. has been falling behind emerging economies, most particularlyIndia and China.1 However, in trying to decide who is winning and who is losing, Gereffi et al.1emphasize that it is important to consider quality as well as quantity. But what does “quality”mean in engineering, and how are we to measure it

The research component of the project seeks to understandbest practices of mentorship of engineering faculty in the RIEF program. Findings from the studywill inform the research team’s development of a community where common obstacles can beopenly discussed and overcome, and successful outcomes and strategies shared. Towards thisgoal, a total of 18 RIEF mentors and mentees were interviewed about their experiences in theRIEF program and perceptions of EER as a field.
