For example, while there are expectations that science teachersmay be engaging their students in inquiry activities, evidence suggests that the majority of theteachers engage their students in a level of inquiry is commensurate with essentially followingscripts.9 Thus

A standalone computational platform in the form of amicro-processor is often used as the “brain” of a design project; likewise a microprocessor canbe necessary when translating programming instruction from didactic, lecture-based, andprofessor-centered

by using weekly group-based quizzes that were completed in the classroomthat permitted open interaction with the instructor. The approach is unique in the following ways:1) Interaction with the instructor is permitted: The instructor can give the concerned student/shints/guidance if necessary, since all the material being tested is fresh and the students have nothad time to prepare. This eliminates the need for plagiarism. One of the main goals of this pilotproject was to develop a means of continuous evaluation of the student's acquisition ofknowledge by eliminating the effect of plagiarism that occurs in the traditional homework basedapproach. Another benefit of communication with the instructor is that it helps build a rapportbetween the

design, however, presentsengineering programs with two major challenges: placing limits on the “breadth” of eachoutcome; and clarifying the inherent vagueness in each outcome (or, defining the “specificity” ofeach outcome).1 ABET intentionally writes their student outcomes with a degree of vagueness toavoid engineering programs from adopting prescriptive curricular design and to allowengineering programs to have flexibility and freedom of interpretation. However, this vaguenessmay confuse engineering programs about how to address each outcome effectively.1 To addressthese types of issues, McGourty, Besterfield-Sacre, and Shuman called for operationaldescriptions of each outcome; although, they admitted that determining the specificity would bea

To reinforce the relationship between the history of the civilengineering profession and students’ professional identity formation, we review the literature onthese two areas of inquiry. In particular, we will frame our paper using the following keydiscussion points: 1) providing a brief overview of key historical events of civil engineering inthe United States; 2) discussing the influence of this history on instructor pedagogies and studentlearning within civil engineering education; and 3) conceptualizing this learning process as ameans of professional identity formation.From this work, we will begin to understand how

In flipped lectures, instructors encounteradditional challenges. While acknowledging learners’ characteristics and needs, the ways thatinstructors deliver content so as not undermine students’ authority over their own learning isof the utmost concern. We have established a model for quality teaching in flipped classrooms.The model has been applied to and tested in multiple electrical engineering courses over the pastfour years. 1-4 Learning activities in reformed classrooms are problem-centered and group-based.Results from previous studies have shown that balanced

Not surprisingly, a recent survey admits that There is a lack of consensus on what exactly the flipped classroom is. [1]Flipping a course requires at least 3 actions, which can be seen as disruptive innovations: (1) Decide which “events that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom” will be moved outside the classroom, and explain to students how they benefit from this move (2) Create the new teaching events outside the classroom to ensure that the student learning

While the disagreement about thenumber of students that comprise a large class is significant, the estimation of a small class isrelatively consistent: a small class usually has no more than 30 students6, or perhaps just a fewmore (there are a few exceptions, however, who regard small classes as having 35-39students5,7,8).
