Despite this,economic analysis in architectural design instruction is severely lacking.

transform STEM education can be implementation of an inquiry-basedcollaborative approach. The inquiry-based collaborative approach can impact and prepare STEMgraduates for the future workforce following the required high level of critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. This innovative approach also can help STEM graduatesdevelop required collaborative and communicative skills while working as part of any team.The inquiry-based collaborative approach has recently received recognition when themetacognitive approach has been implemented into the design of online, hybrid and face-to-facelearning to support the dynamics of reflective thinking and a collaborative inquiry process [2].Metacognition is a required cognitive ability to

Previous research has focused on engineering students workingtogether within designated design courses, but little is known about how students work togetherin a group to solve a problem in an engineering science course.This full research paper serves as our first attempt to answer the questions: 1) How do undergraduate engineering student teams solve an open-ended statics problem? 2) How does solving these problems contribute to building professional engineering skills?BackgroundOne of the main activities of

One goal ofthe project is to radically transform the way courses are taught in the Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering Department at the University of Connecticut. The program aims to create a moreinclusive learning environment that not only enhances the learning outcomes for all students, butalso provides flexibility and choices to allow all types of learners to personalize their educationalexperience. These changes are reflected in redesigned courses, designated in the department as I-Courses. It is anticipated that incorporating flexibility within engineering courses while alsoadopting a

Such expressions of stereotyping can be quite blatant,as when, for example, women are explicitly told that they are unlikely to succeed in STEM andare steered away from STEM careers. However, in today’s society stereotyping is more likely tobe expressed indirectly, reflected in subtle as opposed to blatant expressions, which are thereforeambiguous. We focus on these subtle stereotypic behaviors in this study, and refer to them assubtle bias events.Subtle BiasGiven the subtle nature of modern sexism [15], [16], it is likely that gender bias in STEMsettings is often subtle, and thus ambiguous as to whether it

The process of moral deliberation is also about reconstructing selves, our thoughts,and habits [3]. The ability to imagine oneself in a different role is important in realisticevaluations of scenarios that may include envisioning a future self, such as a student seeingthemselves in an entry level engineering position, or that engineer seeing themselves in amanagement position.

Students are not aware of whatthey know and don’t know, thus the clinging to the rereading and mass practice. Students claim to knowthe material and are confounded when the test results don’t reflect that. In fact, Callender andMcDaniel [21] found in four separate experiments that rereading does not improve recall or testinggrades: one group reading once vs one group reading twice. Groups read three texts once or twice witha set of unrelated problem solving between the reading and the testing, and the last group read thematerial once or twice with the first text material tested immediately and the second text

According to the NationalResearch Council [3] and Savey [4], inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a pedagogical approach inwhich students begin with a question followed by investigating the solutions, reflecting, andcommunicating findings, and creating new knowledge based on the collected evidence. IBL hasbeen widely adopted in science education because of its great potential to facilitate more positivestudent attitudes and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts [5], [6]. Additionally, accordingto Specht et al [7], inquiry-based learning has been increasingly suggested as an efficient approachfor fostering students’ curiosity and motivation by linking science teaching in schools withinformal learning and phenomena in everyday life.
