All participants had access tohardware/software that was used, and the main meeting space was set up for wirelessnetworking. Content specific instruction was delivered by lecture format, modeling anddemonstrating, and through collaborative learning. Teaching styles that were observed includedstructured instruction, inclusion style, guided discovery, and convergent discovery. Instructionalstrategies that were used extensively were collaborative learning and hands-on learning.Occasionally independent work, lecture, simulations/demonstrations, and integration oftechnology were

Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of

We conducted a project to determine and unravel the current state of integration of sustainability in engineering education at the colleges and universities across the nation. We conducted a survey and collected data from universities in US on teaching of the subject of sustainability in their curricula. We asked questions on what topics of sustainability were integrated in those courses. We also researched on identifying several key activities and indicators in this study. This paper
