in their ability to learna particular course’s material and their confidence in the instructor’s ability to teach thematerial. The paper is part of an overall larger project investigating if changes inteaching practices can change student self-efficacy in engineering [1]. Therefore, thefollowing gives a background on self-efficacy, and relates it to students’ confidence intheir learning and to their instructors’ teaching. Also, the following explains howteaching practices can influence students’ confidence. Self-efficacy theory, which has a significant impact on how students view theirown abilities as learners, emphasizes that people’s confidence in performing a certaintask depends on four types of experience: previous success
event that struck the central region of Chile onFebruary 27th, 2010—a joint research project between Japan and Chile was established toadvance the development of technologies and resources to foster tsunami resilient communities.The SATREPS (The Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable DevelopmentProject) program [2] allowed the introduction of the Disaster Imagination Game (DIG) in Chile.DIG was created as a method for disaster drill in Japan [3] and has been used in differentcontexts since then (e.g., [4], [5] ). The game’s overall goal is to promote disaster risk awarenessand resilience. Its core is a teamwork exercise around a printed map, where people discuss andrecord information about the territory under study [6]. We
application of VRT can enhance the student learning experience in many highereducation programs. Many institutes already had some forms of virtual reality programs such as acurriculum, a research center, a project, or additional resources. In 2018, the top 25 best artificialintelligence colleges in the United States implemented virtual reality into their curriculums in avariety of fields including design, engineering, film, music, and journalism [20].. Meanwhile, theDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Department of History, andDepartment of Systems Engineering at West Point conducted an interdisciplinary capstone in 2016to create a VR experience of the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach [7]. VRT seems to have a broadapplication that

Again, case studies can demonstrate howpeople have been effective in controlling or even stopping a technological project ordevelopment that seemed to the technological determinist to be unstoppable. Also, the coursecan give examples where societal concerns hindered development of a desirable technology.To adapt the course to focus on technological literacy, topics for in-depth discussion should beselected to focus on specific aspects of technological literacy. One option is for the overviewsection to be extended to reach the present, and then certain topics would be singled out for moreattention. The technology of pesticides, notably DDT, could be used as a case study of aninitially accepted technological development

Core engineering coursesbuild on this experience, employing additional cases that integrate relevant engineering content.In the capstone design course, students apply what they have learned preventively to identifypotential pitfalls related to their particular projects. Additionally, advanced ethics topics areexplored in two upper-level technical electives, examining key issues of environment andsustainability and considering critically the role of engineering in global development.The approach to date has been grounded in problem solving and systematic analysis, teachingstudents to build and support arguments engaging with primary themes in ethics.

tackled.Scrum for EducationEducators in computer science have begun implementing these methods and tools in theirclassrooms in part at the behest of their industries who would like to hire students already trained[17]. Other educators have noticed that the flexibility in response to complicated objectives has alot in common with many classrooms beyond computer science. EduScrum was developed in theNetherlands and showed favorable results with scrum as a pedagogical technique in middleschool [18]. The Product Owner is replaced by the teacher who decides what needs to be learnedand to what level. The teacher defines certain acceptance criteria which can be test scores orscopes of projects. The student teams (generally 4 or 5 students) are self-organized

Many ofour students have participated in "Maker" and robotic events before coming to the University,and we believe that keeping this element of experience in the classroom is a valuable tool inmaintaining student interest. It also amortizes the learning curve required for these tools overseveral semesters, which will be of benefit when they enter the fourth year and are required to doa Capstone design project.

Kinematics CourseAbstractThe proper application of lean management techniques to manufacturing processes typicallyresults in process improvements. Many of the principles of lean thinking can also be applied tothe educational process. This paper examines the implementation of lean management principlesin the design and delivery of a traditional lecture-based engineering course – Kinematics ofMachines.The format of a typical kinematics course relies on lectures, homework, exams, and perhaps adesign project as a means for transferring knowledge from the instructor to the students. In thispaper, lean thinking principles are applied to redesign the kinematics course format to increasethe effectiveness and efficiency of the knowledge transfer process
