and in non-POGIL classes was even greater (87% vs 46%). This patternstayed relatively constant across instructors and the three sets of observations and reflectsPOGIL principles, which might be an indicant to construct validity.These preliminary findings were reflected in the student ratings. While ratings of the difficultyand length of POGIL and non-POGIL classes were similar (3.8 vs 4.0 on a scale of 1 “too easy”to 7 “too hard”; 4.0 vs 4.1 on a scale of 1 “too long” to 7 “too short”), students were much moreapt to rate the POGIL classes as more collaborative (5.8 vs 4.9), another POGIL principle. Againthere weren’t major differences across the three sets of observations. While there were expecteddifferences by instructor, there were minimal

Accordingly, we adapted and created the ESE-E to reflect these threedimensions. In terms of the dimension of magnitude, the ESE-E scales included items that measuredentrepreneurial-related skills and activities at various difficulties, such as product ideation,business planning, and customer discovery. Furthermore, in terms of the dimension of generality,we adapted the items and created additional items based on the specific content topics taught inan entrepreneurship education course. In addition, in terms of the dimension of strength, eachESE-E

essential for developing an agile and adaptable mind in the 21st century, wheretechnology is ubiquitous. The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5]. Research has beenconducted to investigate the implementation of CT in middle school education internationally.The studies emphasize the importance of CT in interdisciplinary education to foster students'critical thinking

Experts typically have: (1) knowledge that is greaterthan memorized facts or operations related to the field; (2) an ability to notice important patternsand features that is obscure to novices; (3) an organized knowledge structure reflecting their deepunderstanding, and (4) the ability to quickly and accurately retrieve their knowledge with lowcognitive effort. It is understood, however, that experts in the same discipline may exhibit thesecharacteristics to different degrees or differ in the manner in which they are able to

Source of Learning and Development, David A. Kolb states that “learning isthe process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” [11]. Heproposed an Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) consisting of the following four processes: (i)active experimentation (planning and trying out what is learned); (ii) concrete experience (doingand having the experience); (iii) reflective observation (reviewing and reflecting on theexperience); (iv) abstract conceptualization (concluding and learning from the experience).Abdulwahed and Nagy applied this cycle directly to learning in a laboratory setting [12]. Theytested the effectiveness of the ELC by adding various elements to their educational laboratorythat corresponded with each

Students expressed that participating in strengths-based projects enabled them tocontribute something towards the classroom, as well as apply academic principles to real-lifesituations. Knowing that their projects will be used in future courses for demonstration purposesmake them feel even more important and enhance their feeling of belonging within theengineering field. Students reflected in their feedback that they were more creative with theirideas because they could choose projects which were aligned with their interests.

However, a completely different perspective in terms of fighting social stigmatization amongstudents, using application-based projects was presented by K. Koutrouba et al. [6]. They held the application-based projects responsible for the successful acquisition of skills such as persistence, willingness,cooperativeness, creativity and self-starters, while the student’s personal experiences, traits, needs, interestsand objectives were

EET402 provides students with concepts/specifications/terminology specific to RF/Microwave (highfrequency). They also learn the operation of related test equipment and computer aided design(CAD) tools/approaches. A non-exhaustive list of RF/microwave concepts/terminology/topicsincludes transmission lines, reflection coefficient, standing wave, impedance matching, SmithChart, insertion loss, return loss, coupling, scattering (S) parameters, path loss (antenna),microstrip, etc. In a typical EET or EE program, circuits and electronics courses are limited tolow frequency (Hz to low MHz), where students would see

Aftercreating the parts in CAD, they then create digital dimensioned multiview drawings to be usedduring the shop build. After building the parts from wood in the shop, students then complete a3D printing activity using CAD to design a 3D printed component that must attach to theirwooden character without the use of any adhesives, emphasizing the importance of propertolerancing. Using both the wood shop and 3D printing for this activity is intended to showFigure 1: outline of two-week maker project activitiesstudents the value of CAD for different manufacturing methods – reflecting
instruction (pre-COVID) as the baseline (100% effective). None of the studentssurveyed specified what ‘Other’ instructional delivery they experienced, and very few answeredthis question. Only five students used a percentage over 100%, and these five data points wereacross all the instructional modalities, so no single delivery method was biased with ratings over100%. Active Duty and veterans did not quantify this mode. Additional survey questions focusedon four areas concerning the SWIVL-Hyflex instruction: initial reflection, distractors, reducingdistractions, and recording availability. A standard 5-point Likert scale was used to assess theirlevel of disagreement (1) to agreement (5). Active duty and veteran (ADV) students tended toagree with the
posture and actions whilemuted. The lecture was roughly structured with an active recitation (15-25 minutes) and activeproblem solving (60-70 minutes). Frequent stretch breaks and screen breaks are used about every10 - 15 minutes throughout the class – based on the course flow, and a one-time 3-minutetransition break was used between concept recitation and problem solving during onlinemeetings. In addition to this, students had opportunities to reflect on their efforts andperformance in class using self-reflection surveys (after two midterm exams). Smaller studenttutor sessions were provided for under-performing students based on their choices. Table 1. UD Principles and Implementation in the Statics course [14] UD Principles

The latter was understood by course instructors, and given it was thefirst time teaching the new approach, expected. In one instance, a lecture had to be completed inthe following session, resulting in an extension of one homework deadline.

After testing, students are asked to reflect ontheir designs and identify areas of improvement. Historically, all stages of the project werecompleted by in-person student teams, working in a design shop.In 2020, obstacles arose due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which made gathering students for in-person events impossible. As a result, an online version of the CivE Design Days was developedwith the primary goal being to achieve the same learning objectives in the online environment.

contrast, engineers who view leadership as a collaborative process aremore likely to view their team orientation as a support. Shifting from personal to structuralbarriers, engineering workplaces differentially afford human, informational, and materialresources, decision-making authority, and professional autonomy to their employees makingeach of these items a leadership barrier for those with minimal access and a support for thosewith open access. As one member of our team eloquently noted, “barriers are the other side ofthe support coin.” Our Likert scale for questions investigating personal and professionalbarriers reflects this “two-sided coin” way of understanding leadership affordances.MethodologyOur paper draws on research supported by the

This widening “skills gap” is attributed to many factors that rangefrom new technologies in the AM industry (e.g., artificial intelligence, robotics), a need fornewer recruiting methods, branding, and incentives in AM educational programs. Someprofessionals have even indicated that manufacturing industries and AM educational programsshould be aligned more to reflect the needs of the industry.

McLeod [3] discusses how Kolb’sdescription of experiential learning is separated into a four-stage cycle. First is concreteexperience, where the learner is introduced to a new experience or a reinterpretation of a previousexperience. Next is observation and reflection on that new experience. This leads to the third stageof abstract conceptualization where the learner’s reflection of their gives rise to new ideas. Thefinal stage is where the learner then actively experiments on those new ideas
