LearningIntroductionThis paper describes a case-based, mixed-methods study of how K-12 teachers support andscaffold student learning in a Problem-based Learning (PBL) engineering lesson. The studyexamined how K-12 engineering teachers planned to support student learning using scaffolding,how they implemented scaffolds during PBL engineering activities, and how they reflected upontheir PBL engineering lesson implementation.PBL in engineering educationEngineering practice and other design-focused fields involve solving complex problems, often incollaborative teams. Generally, these engineering problems do not have a single solution andrequire multifaceted skillsets from many domains. However, engineering students often findthemselves unprepared to manage messy

The timeline shows that the time between the announcement of the decision to thesubmission of every academic department’s plan was only sixteen months. This paper chroniclesthe conversion to semester effort during this time period for the architectural engineering(ARCE) program and suggests a formalized methodology that other programs and institutionscan use if found in the same situation.

last semester in high school was about two orthree hours. Many engineering freshmen do not put in the time that they should be in learningtheir classes until they hit the first quizzes or a midterm and suddenly realize that they have a lotof learning to make up to be on top of the class material. Many students do not know how tolearn material.This paper will explore the transition from high school to college relative to the number of studyhours a freshman engineering student devotes each week and the “solutions” that have been usedto help with this problem through a literature search. The paper will discuss how muchengineering students study their last year in high school, how much the students plan to “study”in college, and the reasons

Design in Engineering Education

AbstractDesign tasks are ubiquitous, complex, ill-structured, and challenging to students and professionalengineering designers. Successful designing depends on having not only adequate knowledge butalso sufficient awareness and control of that knowledge, known as metacognition. Researchsuggests that metacognition not only enhances learning outcomes but also encourages students tobe self-regulated learners who are metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally activeparticipants in their learning process.This article evaluates the extent to which students‟ task interpretation of the design project isreflected in their working plans and monitoring/regulating strategies.

. IntroductionMentoring software engineering capstone projects is a challenging yet rewarding task for anymotivated faculty member. On the one hand, there is no better place in which to see the fruits ofone’s labor than when working alongside student teams as they “put it all together” and producea real software product. Observing that moment where the students show they have integratedand internalized what the faculty taught them for several years offset concern that some “maynever get it.” On the other hand, it is challenging for many reasons. One challenge is strictly atime management issue. Capstone project mentoring often involves meta-project management bythe instructor-as-facilitator. Ensuring teams are planning, estimating, and tracking detailed workcan

The first QFD matrix is used to translate customer wants(requirements of the actual end-customer) into product characteristics (broad details of howthe requirements will be met). The product characteristics are then translated through anotherQFD matrix into part characteristics. Part characteristics are translated into processcharacteristics.
