The lesson is then broke up into sections that each focus on a particular concept in greaterdetail.The lessons were structured in such a way as to allow the student to go through the lessons inmore of an experiential fashion instead having us walk them through the lesson. “Focusing onlearner experience rather than content as the fundamental reflection of curriculum places a

There are multiple similarities whencompared with the elements of a design challenge (see Table 2). For instance, the activeinvolvement element requires effective communication with peers to come up with viablesolutions. Given these similarities and the ability of a case study to connect to the practices ofengineers, there is an opportunity to examine the potential for this pedagogical method withinengineering education in elementary classrooms.

We are currently testing our hypothesis that traditional weaknesses in data analysis,communication of ideas, and self-motivated acquisition of knowledge can be overcome by providing studentswith a laboratory environment which encourages open-ended experimentation. To this end, we are developinga methodology for converting typical “cookbook” laboratory courses to multi-disciplinary, team-based open-ended design experiences.Our work is done in the context of the development of an interdisciplinary curriculum on electronic materialsand devices3.

This inclusion arose from the author’s participation in a Consor-tium to Promote Reflection in Engineering Education (CPREE) workshop at the 2016 ASEEConference in New Orleans.2 That participation led to the publication of a short CPREE activityguide on the topic of story writing as a tool for enhancing engineering education.3 Story writingwas also employed as a core

A consequence isthat few black students are able to obtain an engineering degree in the regulation time of fouryears. The problem was exacerbated in 2009 when the first group of school leavers who wentthrough a new high school curriculum entered universities. This curriculum was designed to bemodern and skills-based, but many mathematics and science teachers, who had insufficientprofessional development and inadequate content knowledge, focused instead on drillingstudents in a restricted set of problem types.

Graded Homework and Hello to Homework QuizzesAbstractIn higher education, an ongoing issue is assessment of student learning. We wonder how toassess, how often to assess, why we are assessing, and even how are we, as faculty, going tohandle all the grading and management of assessment. Engineering students are frequentlyassessed on homework, quizzes, projects, and exams, but given today’s connected world,students may be copying or sharing homework solutions. Often, they do not realize how workingproblems is integral to their success in a class as well as to their understanding of engineering. Inaddition, across the disciplines we are more aware of how students study and that they often donot select the most productive
