The amazing utility of data search The very wide range of topics covered by KnovelThe challenge also exposed players to the advanced search features in Knovel, such as materialproperty lookup and interactive equations. In designing the questions, we purposefully made aneffort to address contemporary topics in a broad cross-section of engineering disciplines, whichwe deem a success based on this feedback.Conclusion & Future DirectionsTechnological savviness alone does not produce a society of information literate, criticalthinkers. The same technology that enables the rapid proliferation of unverified information inthe “24/7 news cycle” also enables an unprecedented level of access to the tools and resources
used in both an engineering communications course and an engineering ethics courseat a research institution. In this assignment, the Social Impact Analysis (SIA), students are askedto identify and research a current engineering design, product, or concept that is (or soon will be)impacting society. Prima facie, this assignment promises to help acquaint students with thecomplexity of deploying new technology in society (domestically or globally). The actual andpotential impacts of these technologies raise a host of ethical issues that are students must beaware of and engage. However, as analyses and discussions become more nuanced (in light ofcomplexity), they can also become more abstract and, therefore, less practically important tostudents

Utilizing eye-tracking technology allows to discover the visual attention patterns of students’ while solvingengineering problems, and to investigate the significant factors impacting their performance,including spatial thinking ability, and their understanding of specific concepts. Once suchpatterns of visual attention are discovered, they can be leveraged to detect the most challengingconcepts, and may enable instructors to provide more targeted help to students.In this paper, the visual attention during solving engineering problems (here, solid mechanicsproblems) of 18 undergraduate students was evaluated using eye tracking.

Trade: Using Digital Portfolios and Reflective Practices to Develop Balanced Graduate Student Professional IdentitiesAbstract Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play important instructional roles in undergraduatescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. However, currentpractices within graduate education do not reflect the importance of this teaching role. Thismissing support for developing professional identities that include teaching roles within graduatestudents is a driving factor for this paper. To this effect, we review recent literature related tograduate student development, provide background on ePortfolios, and suggest tips for utilizingePortfolios as a reflective space for
of learning engineering design, we have developed a new method ofteaching engineering design which covers most aspects of a design. The new method fits into afour- semester design course series. The new method uses project-based learning and alsoaddresses the issue of having students from multiple upperclass levels on one team.1. IntroductionDesign is an important part of the engineering curricula not only in the eyes of industry but alsothe Accreditation Board of Engineers and Technology (ABET) 1, 2, therefore special attention hasbeen given to design courses at engineering colleges across the nation and worldwide. In designcourses, students integrate and apply their knowledge to design products or to address problems.The design process
