For example, thefollowing student work displays evidence of the Pattern Recognition CT competency. Thestudent was asked to first color the next box in the pattern (see figure 3). After completingcoloring, the student was asked to complete the next following tasks which were writing the nextletter and coloring the pattern (see figure 4). To scaffold the student’s understanding of PatternRecognition CT competency skill, an additional task was reinforced by using letters (see figure5) to describe the colored patterns in the

‘Civil Engineering’ and ‘Bridge Engineering’ courses.A main aim of the Project is to involve students in an active learning environment. Also, thestructure designed by the students is not as important as the process of the design andconstruction. In other words, the project is ‘process based’ rather than ‘product based’. So,the attention of the present paper is on the potential benefits of the DAD Project as anexample of the use of full-scale physical models in engineering education. The benefits maybe grouped into the following two categories: o General benefits of a group design project such as the development of team-working and communication skills to solve engineering problems. As a group project, peer learning 7 is a key

Maybe the current science curriculum is not either, but I feel more effective teaching science than teaching engineering.”The theme of interdisciplinary integration was echoed by several teachers. From a middle schoolmath teacher in Suburban Washington: “Teaching engineering is the closest I've come to interdisciplinary study.

In student-centered pedagogy learning theory at many universities in theU.S., learning shifts from top-down to bottom-up. This can be particularly helpful atengineering schools where classes are being turned “upside-down” with peer-led teamlearning workshops. This active-learning approach has led to increased confidence,intellectual curiosity, and interest in teaching among students [37]. Through student-centeredlearning, the individual student is responsible for setting learning goals, working towardsthem, monitoring feedback, and making appropriate adjustments [38].

learning, evidence of improved feedback practicescontinues to be missing [19]. For instance, a lack of alignment between formative andsummative assessment has been noted [20]. Performance based assessment has been extensivelystudied, in particular, the use of formative assessment tools such as rubrics to provide feedbackon student work [21]. However, rubrics are more commonly used on writing assignments, oropen-ended projects, such as design reports. Courses that emphasize content (i.e. facts, and theapplication of physical and mathematical concepts) are common in engineering curricula. Inmany engineering courses students are asked to solve closed-ended problems to demonstratetheir mastery of the material in these types of “fact and principle

But rather thanphilosophers as collaborators, philosophers’ place of necessity is in its historically traditionalrole of trespassers or gadflies to the practical and professional processes of others.Of course, we might intuit that only the most stringent purists would hold onto one or another ofthese hypothetical polar positions. It is more likely that most engineers and most philosophersconsider their roles within engineering ethics as collaborative, integrative, and constructive:space for working together on complex epistemic and ethical problems. For example, a 2007blog post on business strategy argues for the importance of collaborative expertise betweenphilosophers and engineers. The authors write

Unfortunately, graduate student peers are resources that many teaching-focusedcolleges and universities like our institution, York College of PA, do not have. In this case,strong mentorship from – and a good relationship with – faculty advisors becomes increasinglyimportant [12], [13], [14].
