Reflection is alsobelieved to promote deep learning [9]. A search in ASEE PEER for manuscripts with“reflection” in the title yielded 195 results, including 102 from papers at the annual conference in2015-2019 [10]. However, it is unclear to what extent reflection is standard practice inengineering education versus being explored as “novel”. The value of reflection has beenparticularly linked with service-learning, as a critical step in achieving particular learning goalsand/or helping the learner

Al Salami [1] writes that many schoolsare transitioning to a more integrated curriculum to get students involved at a young age with conceptsand ideas within STEM fields. The Code + Chords workshop that this study is focused on uses anintegrated curriculum by combining music with technology and takes it one step further by targetingself-efficacy in participants.Denise Green [2] illustrates the need for understanding and increasing self-efficacy in students:“Researchers in this area provide empirical evidence that self-efficacy is an accurate predictor of astudent’s skill acquisition, rate of performance, expenditure of energy, persistence, goal setting, and

After a discussion of results among peers (similar to what wouldoccur in a lab group), the volunteers took the post-test. Results from the pre- and post-test werethen compared to determine the effectiveness of the lab.The following semester, the new lab was assigned to 32 students in an Engineering HydraulicsLaboratory class. All students were senior undergraduates in Civil Engineering. Hydraulics is apre-requisite to the lab class, so all students understood basic hydrologic concepts. Based onfeedback from the volunteers, more explanation and guidance was included. Ideas were alsodiscussed in class when writing the procedure to guide students in their

An overview of the camp was given to parentsand students in both English and Spanish. Twenty-four girls were selected from forty-oneapplicants. Daily activities and assignments were modeled after activities in the pre-engineeringhigh school program. The girls gained experience and confidence while building andprogramming an elevator, racing remote controlled cars, designing a product using a 3Dmodeling program, programming small robots and participating in a field trip to a localcompany. The participants enjoyed the camp, formed friendships with their peers, expressedinterest in science/engineering, and look forward to follow-up
rubric used for grading an assignment. In this example,students worked on a two week lab assignment in groups. The grading rubric is dividedinto two segments, a portion which reflects group performance as well as a portion whichreflects individual performance. In this particular assignment, students worked as a teamto complete a lab assignment. At the completion of lab, each student was assessed bytheir peers using a rubric. These scores were tabulated and entered into the individualperformance area of the assignment. The group assignment grade was derived fromtraditional grading of the group lab report excepting that grading was done entirelyelectronically by markup up the pdf submission using pdf annotator

Working collaboratively to develop a wiki entrybreeds additional benefits. It is a mode of collaborative learning, which builds “a positiveinterdependence that moves everyone forward”[12]. It builds the foundational step on a multi-loop learning model, where students learn by interactive with peers, followed by interaction withindividuals with increasing levels of authority[13]. The use of social software such as wikis hasbeen termed “the architecture of participation”[14].Wikis have been previously applied as a means of facilitating collaborative learning in chemicalengineering

Since it would be beyond the scope of this paper to provide ananalysis of all the direct measures of assessment that are available, the focus will be on those thatwere used at the authors’ department. Course tests and examinations are perhaps the most commonly used direct assessmentmeasure. Most courses use tests to measure student progress, therefore they are readily available.Assuming that the tests

In labs,students are given short warm-up activities introducing them to the use of a new programfunction or computational method. The rest of the lab period was devoted to in-class exercisesthat covered a computational application or concept similar to the homework assigned for theweek. In this way, most of the deep learning occurred in the presence of peers and with thesupport of frequent help the instructors. In completing assignments that required writing scriptsfrom scratch, students are encouraged to write out pseudo-code or “map” their programmingplan.As with any new course, minor modifications to pedagogy, structure, and assignments weremade in each

Since this course is one of the first technical courses thestudents have to take, the latest approach is to incorporate hands-on laboratory experience withthe goal of getting the freshmen accustomed with novel techniques of acquiring data, buildingthe skills to analyze and investigate data using Excel software, writing a laboratory report, usinga Word processor, and comparing their results with computer simulation results using Matlab orSimulink. At the end of the course each student will have the opportunity to improve theirpresentation skills by presenting their findings in front of their peers using PowerPoint.

. The basic trendsin the students inquiry development is captured via use of particular keywords and actions. Aphenomenographic analysis is performed to classify the common themes that appear in thestudent writing over the time points in the semester. These are then further classified into thedifferent sub-stages (Identification, reflection and personalization) of the Deweyan cycle.In the initial weeks most students start with asking why or how a particular code segment works,how something occurs in their circuit when they change things etc. As the time progresses,there is a shift in their inquiries in trying to achieve or make something possible with theresources available. Their procedures following the inquiry become more detailed. They
should match the learning goals associated with the assignment, while thestandard levels usually correspond to an evaluation and are listed in sequence (for example,excellent, very good, good… down to the lowest standard level, perhaps corresponding to 100%,90%, 80%, … the lowest possible percentage possible of the available grade). In constructingthis type of rubric, it is recommended to work from the “outside in”; that is, first write thedescriptions for how each criterion is met at the highest standard level, then write thedescriptions for how each criterion is met at the lowest standard level, then work on descriptionsin between. By this method, rubric construction increases in difficulty particularly with thenumber of standard levels. It is

This final projectmade with the assistance of graphic design students from the College of Fine Arts, required thateach group turn in a completed game that was placed in a box with all of the required pieces.Each group had to write and submit a well-written rule book that could be used to teach someonehow to play the game. The final paper portion of the assignment was meant for students tocommunicate how they thought their board game accomplished the goal of educating their targetaudience about climate change. Also, it was asked that students write about what

2018 mid-term elections. With campus gun rampage beingthe motivating factor behind their vote, voters under age 29 heavily influenced the outcome ofthe 2018 mid-term elections [1], [2]. Since the March for Our Lives protest, there has thus been arenewed effort to strengthen gun control laws, and in 2018, lawmakers around the countrysubsequently enacted fifty new laws restricting access to guns [3]. As of this writing, ten states have enacted legislation permitting the concealed carrying ofhandguns on university campuses. In sixteen states, concealed carrying of handguns onuniversity campuses have been banned, and in twenty-three states, the decision to allowhandguns on campus has been left up to the university’s discretion [4].
