givingthem active, candid feedback, coaching, and mentoring on their effectiveness.The program has three “legs:” 1. An engineering leadership lab (ELL) where the students met weekly in small teams to face leadership challenges keyed to the “Capabilities of an Effective Leader” [see later in this paper], 2. An engineering leadership class (EL), synchronized to the lab, where the students study the academic background of the leadership areas prior to the related leadership lab, and also discuss and reflect on the lessons learned once the associated lab has taken place. 3. During our brainstorming period, the consensus was clear that an effective engineering leader must have a deep grounding in the technology which s/he

thinking to solve problems, it is important to measure systems thinking abilities.Various measurement and assessment strategies have been proposed to understand thedevelopment of systems thinking skills in engineering graduates and students. A few of theseinclude course-based systems thinking instruction followed by assessment using surveys, fieldreports, reflections, open-ended examinations, quizzes, etc. [4]–[6], [20], [21]. Other strategiesinclude cognitive mapping and concept mapping to explore how visualization techniques can aidthe consideration of multiple dimensions of systems thinking [3], [22]. Another approach, whichwill be the focus of this paper, uses scenario-based assessments of systems thinking skills [1],[2], [19], [23]. Some

An existingjunior mechanical engineering lab course was modified from a set of four pre-defined experimentsto a set of three experiments that provided increasing independence. In the third and finalexperiment, students conducted their own background research, proposed experiments, builtapparatuses, and tested their hypotheses.In general, the changes reflected a transition in the course from passive learning to active learning[2, 9]. Rather than having students passively absorb knowledge and reproduce it by following astep-by-step procedure, the course redesign had them actively pursue experimental knowledge. Inthe first nine weeks of the course, students were gradually trained to become

.* Correspondence: MiguelAndrés Guerra, MAGuerra@usfq.edu.ec.AbstractTraditional exams are widely used to assess students’ acquired knowledge inengineering courses, and although traditional exams have a purpose and a role, it is alsoknown that they bring different levels of stress and anxiety to students, which can resultin an inaccurate reflection of students’ knowledge or even poor performance. Althoughresearch shows this type of exam may not be adequate for all types of students, little isknown about how to improve traditional exam assessment experiences. This pilot studyaims to design an intervention—a coffee break during an exam—to help reducestudents’ stress and anxiety levels and improve their exam performance.

However, the university started believing "there is no front to an active classroom" and removed whiteboards and replaced them with glass boards in these active-learning classrooms. These boards were hard to write on and reflected the classroom lights. The boards also had limited writing space, even for short lectures. The first author moved the class to a "regular" auditorium with many more seats than students, for example, having 80 students in an auditorium that seats 140. The effectiveness of active learning did not suffer much. Leaving every other row vacant allowed the instructor and the teaching assistants to move around fully © American Society for

users are more likely to get useful results from theirPIV analysis based on their understanding of PIV algorithms and digital imaging parameters.Usually, this understanding is gained through several years of education and practice using PIV.For example, image background noise (i.e., leaving objects which appear in the imagebackground, allowing reflected light into the images, etc.) frequently leads to poor PIV images,and potentially inaccurate or even physically meaningless vector fields. An experienced PIV userunderstands this as the fact that substantial image background noise reduces the likelihood of thePIV algorithms finding a valid correlation peak. Lacking this knowledge, novice PIV users mayachieve poor PIV results due to the allowance

One specific activity, the capacitor discharge experiment,will be thoroughly discussed to compare the traditional physical setup with the technology-basedversion. Findings highlight the pros and cons of the teaching method used and reflect on what hasbeen learned.

Some of these similarities are:● Both are iterative, adaptive, and collaborative processes that help solve ill-defined and open-ended problems that are not amenable to being routinized or solved algorithmically (aka “puzzles”). The iterative and nonlinear nature of both design methodologies is reflected in the existent feedback loops. This iterative nature can also be viewed as coevolution of the problem space with the solution space. That is, as designers search for

ensuring communicative effectiveness of our end product.Theoretical Framework: Figured Worlds and Narrative AgencyIn their seminal work, Holland and colleagues (1998) conceptualized the complex interactionsbetween social systems and individuals as agency and identity formation in figured worlds. Theydefine this concept as the realized capacity for an individual to purposefully and reflectively act(i.e., agency) on contexts containing “socially-produced, culturally-constructed activities” (i.e.,figured worlds, Holland et al., 1998, p. 40-41). As individuals iteratively interact with and withinthese figured worlds, they make meaning of themselves and form their identities. Figured worldsinclude four characteristics: (1) they are historically
