an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1
stakeholders, and a concurrent lack ofinfluence offered by more abstracted stakeholders. Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences. It is difficult to distinguish theorigin of the human-centered

This is obfuscating since it is not clear to the authors whether the reviewer isreferring to the first sentence of the third paragraph in the abstract or that in the section on“Introduction and Philosophy”. Nevertheless, we examine both and make a change to the firstsentence of the third paragraph in the abstract: • “Problems in polar coordinates are complex in comparison to those in rectilinear coordinates. This is because of the requirement of symmetry boundary conditions or the neglect of constants of integration to avoid singularity type of errors when solving polar coordinate problems analytically.” has been

Most students were able to identify potential moral or ethicalproblems and were also able to draw appropriate connections between personal morals, the Codeof Ethics for Engineers, and the situations described in the cases. Not surprisingly, studentsoften took strong positions surrounding the central issue(s) in the cases. The main difficultystudents had with was articulating a counter perspective when they perceived a clear ethicalproblem.The papers were evaluated using a scoring rubric in which points were awarded for addressingthe guiding questions (10 points), quality of writing (5 points), and how well they justified theirfinal position on the case (5 points).

secondary schools) led by Benjamin S. Bloom,committed themselves to create this common framework. They met annually as a working groupthrough the late 1940s and early 1950s to create a common framework for the characterizationand assessment of educational activities. Their goal was to create a common hierarchal set ofterms and language that characterized educational objectives in a uniform and repeatable way.The publication describing their early work presented the concept of three domains ofeducational activities. Those domains included the cognitive, which deals with the recognitionof knowledge and the progressive development of intellectual abilities; the affective domain,which describes changes in interests, attitudes, and values; and the
. Informal language: contractions (I’ve), wording (a lot) or starting a sentence with and or butThe language of engineering writing is more formal than other types of writing such as fiction. For thatreason, using contractions or beginning a sentence with a conjunction is too informal for most engineeringdocuments.References1. R. House, A. Watt, and J.

One of theadditional questions asked MET programs to list their perceived strength(s), particularly thosestrengths attracting new students. We hope these strength data provide information about whattype of manufacturing curriculum attracts students to MET programs. A question pertaining tograduate level degrees was also added to the survey, as the 2005 survey did not specifically askprograms if a M.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology was offered.The graduate starting salary question was modified from a two-part question where a yes/noquestion was followed by a

the classes taught by the aforementionedfaculty are small size, seldom exceeding 35 students per class. The lecture format dominates theseen. Students listen, take notes, and are allowed to ask questions at the end of the lecture orduring office hours. There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in theprocess by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of a concernwhether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. The viewsexpressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one to believe thatit is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would be deployed anytime soon, unless drastic measures are
students having the sameprogramming language, let alone a uniform programming experience. To complicate mattersfurther many of our students took their introductory programming course at regional communitycolleges. It has been observed that anyone foolish enough to make a programming assignmentalmost surely risks lowering their course evaluation. Borrowing an idiom “the more computingchanges, the more the introductory programming course remains the same.” Can theintroductory programming course be changed to render it more beneficial both to the studentsand the faculty? Can we identify a rationale that allows us to create a more relevant computingexperience? In this paper we make several s regarding the computing experience for engineersand suggest
