will enjoy the challenge of working with difficult technical issues in the context of advanced technology. The results of our study, particularly the relatively small proportion of time devoted to solitary technical work, have helped to explain some of the frustrations I have so frequently encountered among engineers. Many felt frustrated because they did not think that their jobs provided them with enough technical challenges. Others felt frustrated because they thought that a different career choice might have led to a job that would enable them to make more use of the advanced technical subjects they had studied in their university courses. Many of them were actually planning to leave their

disengage in certain circumstances. Although it identifies eight dimensions of moral disengagement (moral justification, euphemistic labeling, advantageous comparison, displacement of responsibility, diffusion of responsibility, distortion of consequences, attribution of blame, and dehumanization), the scale is most correctly used as a measure of the single higher order concept of moral disengagement. 
• Experiences (17 items): Students were asked about their participation within the last two years and their plans to participate in the future in seventeen types of experiences: 1. Volunteer regularly (1+ time per month for 6 months longer) 2. Mission or volunteering trip (any location) 3. Work or internship in a non-profit

As Ball & Cohen(2013, p. 16) put it, “Examining student thinking is a core activity of [teachers’] practice.” Inorder to help teachers develop their responsiveness, teacher educators and teacher professionallearning communities typically rely on artifacts of classroom practice (i.e. examples of studentwork, video or audio recordings of classroom events, or field notes on classroom events) toanalyze pedagogical moves/approaches, to investigate the possible consequences of theirpedagogical approach for students’ learning, and to consider intentions and plans for futurepedagogical

They learn how to apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to make the world a better place through innovation. PLTW students say that PLTW Engineering influenced their post-secondary decisions and helped shape their future. PLTW students are shown to study engineering and other STEM disciplines at a rate significantly higher than their non-PLTW peers. Even for students who do not plan to pursue engineering after high school, the PLTW Engineering program provides opportunities to develop highly transferable skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving, which are relevant for any

The students would meet on campus in a classroom with a peer mentor one hour aweek. Additional optional study sessions were also offered throughout the week. In addition,social activities were planned to help the students to get to know each other. To make sure thatthe one hour a week meeting appeared on the students’ schedules, a zero credit course wascreated. Students signed up for the LTM session during summer orientation with their advisor’sassistance. Once registered, the LTM course would then reserve the classroom space and showup on the students’ class schedule which reminded students to

As discussed by the AAUW (2010), “a 2009 poll of young people ages 8–17 by theAmerican Society for Quality, 24 percent of boys but only 5 percent of girls said they wereinterested in an engineering career.”5 In 2006, just over 20% of first year male students plannedto major in engineering, computer science, or the physical sciences. However, according to NSFdata from 2009, only 5% of first year female students planned to major in these non

Did students in CEE 3110 have more concern that the grading scheme did not allow them to demonstrate their knowledge of the material as compared to the comparison group?The fact that the comparison group was from a class covering different material could bias theresults. Questions 1, 2, and 4 are related to course management, so the difference in subject mat-ter is unlikely to result in significant bias. Question 3, regarding the usefulness of the materialbeing studied, is admittedly more problematic. It is likely, though, that students would be moreinclined to view a reinforced concrete design class (the comparison group) as more

It was just bad planning, just “let's get this over with type thing.”One competition organization representative, as well as the advisors of some of the moresuccessful teams, told us that most students and many faculty view these competitions asengineering design-build competitions, yet they are actually engineering managementcompetitions. One advisor offered the analogy of the difference between making a movie on thestudio set, where all resources are at hand and making a movie on location, where all resourcesmust be taken to the remote locale.

Initial “models” may include mathematical models, then later digital models, andfinally, sometimes, physical models (possibly prototypes, at full scale or model scale). Practicingengineers create and test these constructions, then use the previous test results as feedback toiterate and improve their design. In this way, interpreting failure (in the broad sense of notacceptably meeting

An activity is a set of variousactions (such as ideating, negotiating, planning, agreeing, disagreeing) carried out by a group, asocial unit such as a team, motivated by a socially constructed goal. For our use, the activitiesstudied in this paper are team meetings in which a team uses a whiteboard to mediate a decisionor series of decisions.Togethering, as described by Radford and Roth, “has the purpose of realizing a collectivelymotivated object”9.

on an active-learning exercise, I found that many more students raised theirhands when I asked a question. In previous semesters, student participation in class was oftenpoor. To increase student participation in the past, I prepared simple questions to ask during thelecture, but asking these questions did not significantly improve student participation. Addingactive-learning components in Fall 2007 required some planning before class, but not any morethan I had done previously in preparing questions to ask the class. The resulting studentparticipation, however, was greatly improved when I added the active-learning exercises. Theauthors encourage others to also try these simple techniques to improve student participation andstudent learning
