partnerships with the Peugeot Center and Engineering for Change to ensure thesekey elements were implemented properly and sufficiently supported. The long-term goal of thisresearch is to produce a freshman engineering course for Lipscomb University that effectivelyprepares students for an engineering career through exposure to humanitarian projects with the aidof these partnering organizations. This redesigned course may also serve as an example for otheruniversities that wish to introduce human-centered design and service-learning projects forimproved student outcomes with respect to ABET standards. In this paper, best practices andlessons learned are presented from the first iteration of the redesigned course from fall 2017 aswell as proposed

forentrepreneurship and innovation. Although studies have analyzed how students perceive this typeof training, few of them have unveiled its influence on behaviors and career goals. The formativeuse of the assessment instruments employed is limited, so more efforts are needed to evaluateentrepreneurial training towards its continuous improvement. This article proposes a methodologyto involve students in curriculum evaluation so they become partners in curriculum delivery andteaching practices. To explore its benefits, we applied it on a Major focused on engineering design,entrepreneurship and innovation. During classroom sessions of three Major courses, a form wasused to generate individual reflections and collective discussions about course methods

Education, 2017 High School Science Teachers’ Views of Nature of Engineering and Application of Engineering Design Practices (Work In Progress) Engineering education in K-12 keeps growing as one of the dominant nationaleducational agendas. Although there is some attempt to expand student interest in engineeringcareers, enrollment in engineering programs is low 1, 2,3 . Engineering education in US highschools is important for developing engineering literacy and attracting student passion inengineering careers.

of educating engineers.It is about classical education not as synonym of Christian education, but as the education withsolid basis of knowledge in basic sciences and basic sciences of engineering. Students then willfinish their course equipped with the right tools and a strong capacity of learning. Classicaleducation then, in this sense, is a life-long process of applying the “tools of learning” - tools thatare skills entailed in basic sciences, engineering basic sciences, and specific of engineering,which travels with the student through her/his career as professional or as an academic. In otherwords, the market seems to be ready for those who obtain a general engineering education anddevelop adaptable skills that will serve them while

pursue higher education in fully online programs has remainedremarkably consistent since the early years of online education through today - necessity andconvenience.10, 15-18 Learner preference among those who have previously had success withonline learning can also be seen as another reason, but to a much lesser extent.19 The literatureregarding online learning choice is not discipline specific, but applies to the needs of workingparents, no matter their careers. However, it is reasonable to assume that engineers (who alsohave careers and families) pursue online learning for the same reasons as everyone else. Onlinelearning continues to be primarily a vehicle for working adults to further their education whilestaying employed and/or

There is a clear definition of what the undergraduate curricula should instill in studentsprior to entering into the workforce as defined by the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc. However, individual institutions determine the exact knowledge conceptswithin the coursework offered for students to be successful and prepared for their careers.

: Students in construction engineering will work in a competitive global arenaas work will (and is) abundant outside of the U.S. Globalization will become achallenge for the student in their professional careers and the instruction theyreceived should help prepare them by exposure to relevant topics and exercises(Darwish et al. 2012). Engineering students work in small groups to solve problemswhich mimic industry in a proportionate perspective. The community of practicetheory aligns well with this notion about the learners need for training associated withworking in groups (Wang 2003). Students who study the construction andengineering curriculums “learn how to develop schedules” better in the non-traditional sense by using 4D (four dimension

First, the M2 model suggests that students gained both domain specific andintegrative knowledge skills across Making, manufacturing, and work-life areas. Second,engagement in M2 affected students’ perception of themselves in being able to participate inmaking and see a future in which they could follow into engineering education and careers [7].Finally, students’ engagement in M2 resulted in active engagement as indicated instances of self-instruction, demonstration, role assumption, and asking questions across peers, mentors, andteachers.In the third year of our program, we investigated how student’s STEM

However, these service experiences have not been integrated intothe engineering curriculum. The motivation to integrate engineering majors into this particularservice learning project is to demonstrate to engineering students that: - engineering careers can provide great benefit to local communities, - although just starting college studies, first-year engineers can mentor youth who may never have
thoughts,actively searching for knowledge, and making inferences, has been identified by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as necessary for life-long learningand an effective work career skill [2]. Although metacognition is key for students’ self-directedlearning, explicit instruction in metacognitive skills has been rarely integrated into engineeringprograms. One notable exception has been the Iron Range Engineering program (IRE). IRE isan innovative engineering program located in Virginia, Minnesota where students explicitlyengage in activities to become familiar with, develop, and apply metacognitive skills within areal-world problem-based learning (PBL) environment.The goal of our IUSE NSF project has been to study
