Following this, intelligent agents for education have been extensivelyresearched over the past three decades. Perhaps the most well established and populareducational platforms that use intelligent agents are intelligent tutoring systems (ITS, e.g.22-23).ITS are computer programs that

In 2016, role models demonstrating engineering-relatedactivities were added for approximately one hour during a STEM-focused public exposition priorto the main IIBI event, and in 2017, additional time (30 minutes total) was carved out of theevent schedule for networking with the role models during the planned activities. In 2017, arelated item was also added to the girls’ survey for cross-validation: “The role models inspiredme to consider a career in engineering or technology”.This need to

Introduction In the last few years, there has been an increasing trend in the debate about the pros andcons of active learning in the classroom, and many have moved away from the traditional lectureformat.1 While active learning comes in several forms, most agree that activities that aredesigned to engage the students, pique their interest, and are carefully selected to coordinate andsupplement the lesson plans tend to improve students’ understanding and retention of keyconcepts.1 Although active or experiential learning has been highly promoted as of late, it hasbeen researched for several decades

It taught us teamwork... Unfortunately our cycle failed somewhat but that's part of the process as well We learned a lot about brainstorming, but did not really get a chance to prototype and learn from our mistakes through repetition. I had so much fun and learned so much from foam core. Going into this process I knew that it was essential to plan out our build time, and even with all the planning we did, we still basically ran out of time, which was definitely

Theother half of those interviewed were still SME majors as seniors and planned to graduate with adegree in natural science, mathematics or engineering.

Again, attempting to teach workplace disciplines, an employee will rarely be expected toattend a design or construction meeting without first reviewing client preferences, plans,specifications, etc. relating to the project.In class, discussions focus more on the students’ experience with and feeling toward the topicthan on memorization of terms and definitions. Students are strongly encouraged to voice theiropinions on the topic. Students are further encouraged to disagree with each other, the text, andthe professor, as long as they do so respectfully.

As a reflectivepractice, we compared the intended goals of the planned interview questions prescribed in theprotocol versus the content of the actual questions asked during the interview, finding that for themost part, the interviewer’s questions did align. However, in examining the underlying function,the IQRT illuminated a few instances where the interviewer introduced, sometimesunexpectedly, questions that detracted from the participant’s flow of thinking. For example, indiscussing the tenure expectations, the participant mentioned teaching, service, and raisingmoney—a ‘pillar’ of tenure that he repeatedly framed as ‘leverage’ for ‘threatening to
