the students if they value it, and if theyvalue it with respect to how it is being used. Certainly, there is literature backing both sides ofthe coin; for and against, online systems and traditional homework methods [3], [4], [7]–[9],[11]. Students however, are clearly asking for both, and indicate that both will probably behelpful. Similar hybrid approaches have proven to be successful in other disciplines [14].

However, considering that “engineering educationresearch (EER) generally lacked definition as a discipline until the late 1990s and early 2000s”(Johri & Olds, 2014) relevant literature on graduate-level engineering education prior to the1990’s can be difficult to find. This review will focus primarily on literature of the past decadebecause it is both more readily available

Reformulate 3 Generating Documentation and Data Management Controlling Storing DistributingAs mentioned, the need analysis stage is regarded as the most important part of the designprocess. It is a process of problem finding and representing as opposed to problem solving. It isdivided into three (3) phases: identification, representation and communication. These divisionsare based on Karuppoor et al.27’s design philosophy, emphasizing the

to write this off as an historical relic, statements such as these have gone un-critiqued in the last 20 years. It should also be noted that another kind of study exists: thosethat compare and contrast male and female department heads or examine women in academicleadership positions12,64,68-71. While presenting another important approach to studyingrelationships between gender and department heads, such studies are not central to theanalysis at hand.Fourth, a discourse of fairness permeates the literature. As the following quotationsdemonstrate, many publications emphasize that the head has an obligation to act ‘fairly’ andthat (s)he will be most successful if (s)he makes ‘fair’ decisions.

can be used for actual programming, as well as forexecuting, debugging, and visualizing. Thus, our specific aim was two-fold: first, help learnprogramming/problem solving and, second, facilitate the learning of a textual programminglanguage – the C language. The actual hypothesis tested in the present study was X. The resultsof the experiment that was designed to test our expectation fully support our hypothesis. In whatfollows, we will briefly introduce the tool used and proceed with the discussion of theexperiment and the results.Related WorkThere are many different approaches to facilitating the acquisition of programming language(s).For instance, in order to avoid the complexity of full-fledged programming languages, one canuse simplified

a refinement of strategiesthat experienced physics teachers have been teaching for decades and because it is optimized forthe types of problems traditionally found in physics textbooks. The prescriptions aim to steerstudents away from common novice approaches such as identifying the unknown and searchingfor an equation that contains it, or pattern matching based on superficial aspects of the physicalscenario.12, 15 Although details differ, the prescriptions generally consist of steps like these: 1. Using diagrams as needed, visualize and make sense of the physical situation conceptually/qualitatively. 2. Explicitly identity the relevant physics principles. 3. Using the insights from (1) and (2), write equation(s) that can be

El Debs, Purdue University Luciana Debs, is a Technology doctoral student and Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Building Construction Management at Purdue Universitys College of Technology. She received her MS from the Technical Research Institute of Sao Paulo (IPT-SP), and her BSArc from the University of S˜ao Paulo (USP), both in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Prior to her current position she worked in design coordination in construction and real estate development companies in Brazil. Her research
culminated in an engineering design activity tied to curriculumcontent.During curriculum exchange copies of the tools will be available to teachers, and examples of teachercreated units using the templates will be shown. Teachers will be able to start to work through anduse the design templates to get a better feel for how they can be incorporated into lesson design.These tools are ideal for use in Lesson Study or Professional Learning Communities, or as part ofco/team teaching.Below is an example of a filled Frame: Page 26.434.2Page 26.434.31.

stopping short of claimingthat the resultant output is a systematic review” (p.102). As for the differentiated characteristicsof systematized reviews, they described that a systematized review typically omits the step ofquality appraisal with a smaller set of eligible articles but still involves a systematic search,review, and synthesis process. Also, they mentioned that a systematized review can be conductedby one researcher rather than a research team. As a systematized review, this study followedBorrego, Foster, and Froyd (2014)’s steps in conducting a systematic review: identifying a scopeand research questions, defining inclusion criteria, finding and cataloging sources, critique andappraisal, and synthesis. However, this study did not
