Active learning modules contained course content information, video tutorials,sample exercises, and self-check features that enabled students to apply elements of self-regulated learning. Technical content knowledge from the course was covered in the modules and reinforcedthrough real-world examples, such as demonstrating how engineers use section views of modelsto show function (figure 1) and using everyday objects to help define technical terms, such asvarious section views cut out of vegetables (figure 2). Video tutorials guided students on how toapply content knowledge in software and technical practice, such as in a video demonstration

Each module gives a brief overview of the topic, followedby an associated assignment. We made all of these modules available to the students in thecourse and told them to choose one to complete. Each student engaged with their selectedmodule in four specific ways: (1) watching a relevant video; (2) reading and annotating aprovided article; (3) responding in a written reflection to a set of specific prompts relevant to themodule; and (4) conducting an interview
previouswork, we presented the design, execution, and lessons learned of a faculty development programfor instructors of introductory engineering courses developed in a Chilean regional university. Theprogram implemented a collaborative coaching model in which methodological experts led teamsof instructors in designing and creating coursework materials and accompanied theimplementation of the courses through classroom support and weekly reflection sessions. A totalof nine instructors started the program, but six continued during the entire year and ended withsuccessful results. Almost five years after the completion of the program, we wonder: How mightthe faculty development experience have impacted in the long-term the instructional practices

number of factors, not least of whichis their strategies for completing their academic work. Those strategies include the avoidance ofdistractions, class attendance, and the scheduling of study sessions (Diefendorff et al., 1998).Some students are able to set academic goals, devise strategies to achieve those goals, andimplement the strategies. Others might set the same goals and have the same strategies butstruggle to translate goals into effective actions that produce success. One psychological factorthat determines how well students can translate goals into effective actions is the personalityvariable of action-state orientation. Action-state orientation is a personality variable that reflects how well people cantranslate goals into

Yes, like creating things that we just use in the world.This description brushes up against the sociotechnical paradigm by identifying engineering as ‘notjust building’ without really going into the paradigm. We heard numerous similar ‘brushes’ fromthe other students. In some instances, this was conveyed by expansive, open, and inclusive—yetvague—statements about engineering, such as another student’s sentiment that, “there's not a reallyset barrier to what [engineering] could be. It can be like art, it can be everything.” The generalityand nebulous nature to many articulations reflect the early stage that these students are in on theirengineering education journey [37] (all but one had just finished their

quantitative survey evaluating the engineering students’ understanding of design processknowledge was used to study the relationship between the quality of robots produced and theengineering design concepts they learned during the course of the collaborative team project.Written reflections were collected from the engineering students at the end of the project to add aqualitative perspective to the study. Open-ended prompts directed students to describe what theywere teaching, the roles they played during the lesson, what they felt most/least confident about,their impressions of the success of their lessons, their interactions with preservice teachers andfifth graders, and what they learned from the experience.ResultsPreliminary results of a

They discussed how to incorporate what they learned from the morning session intotheir curricula based on their students’ needs. Although all the educators had the sameexperience making hydrogels, their students were at different levels of the K-5 spectrum.Educators focused on 1st grade may need to create their curriculum vastly different fromeducators teaching 5th grade. During the afternoon session, the educator reflected on theirstudents’ needs and integrated key engineering concepts such as observing tissue samples, takingmeasurements, making stock solutions, and analyzing results for their respective classrooms.In order to study the significance of the

This questionnaire allowed students to report currentexperiences and experiences they wished to have more of in the engineering program as well asSTEM programs in general. Although the sample size that completed the questionnaire is small,the results offer a reflection of participants’ experiences. The questionnaire was built from Talleyand Ortiz’s [3] research on the constructs of interest and motivation that are associated with thepersistence of female students who are undergraduates in STEM fields. Questions of the focusgroup were developed to explore both internal processes for

This allowed a mix of sophomores tomaster’s students at Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to enroll inthe course. It also attracted students from a broad range of majors (including engineering,computer science, social sciences, and visual arts) with more gender diversity typically seen inSTEM (i.e., 60% of the class identified as female). The course was also designed to foster adeeply reflective environment among students regarding the current technological state of theworld and its societal repercussions. There were 21 students enrolled in the class, which was heldtwice a week with the 2.5

The latter options are designed with anasset-based perspective (i.e., they aim to build on students’ existing language and culturalresources). Originally created to explicitly provide ELs from immigrant families with equitablelearning opportunities [6], dual language education situated around
combined knowledgeof a student in a specific subject based on Piaget`s philosophy. APOS theory was designed in [22]as follows: An action is a transformation of objects perceived by the individual as essentially external and as requiring, either explicitly or from memory, step-by-step instructions on how to perform the operation... When an action is repeated and the individual reflects upon it, he or she can make an internal mental construction called a process which the individual can think of as performing the same kind of action, but no longer with the need of external stimuli... An object is constructed from a process when the individual becomes aware of the process as a totality and realizes that

However, these studies havealso shown that empathy can manifest in different ways based on students’ view of the import ofempathy to engineering practice [8].Studies have begun exploring engineering students’ perceived role of empathy in the specificcontext of community-engagement. Yeaman [9] found ways undergraduate students experienceempathy in service-learning design courses. Wang et al.
