Reviewing the literatureSivaloganathan [7] identified the influencing factors for Engineering Education as (a) Page 24.759.3country’s requirements (b) attitudes and skills that are required by engineers for beingeffective in the field (c) areas of employment open for engineering graduates (d)attributes specific to developing countries (e) attributes specific to developedcountries (e) accreditation requirements and (f) international developments.

in Revolutionary BrazilPSI was developed by the head of the Psychology Department at Columbia University, Fred S.Keller. Keller was a close friend and colleague of the renowned behaviorist, B. F. Skinner.Between 1928 and 1931, Skinner and Keller were part of a group of young Turks in Harvard’sPsychology Department who, as PhD students, dared to challenge the dominant introspectiveapproach in American psychology. Influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis, but keeping an arms-length from it, American academic psychologists embraced an introspective approach that stoodat one end of the spectrum of the mind-body dualism defined by Descartes. Riding on the crest ofthe historic rise of the experimental sciences, the behaviorists—Pavlov, Thorndike
videotaped for future study and assessment.ConclusionThe authors plan to continue to develop and evaluate new expert witness role play scenarios andformats to maximize the potential benefits of this pedagogy within the specific needs andconstraints of different educational environments. The formative assessment of the expertwitness role play approach appears promising, but it did not capture learning outcomes orcomparisons with other approaches to teaching engineering education. Creative professorsshould be able to adopt this technique to teach engineering ethics within a realistic, engaging,and involving way.Bibliography1. Brummel, B. J., Gunsalus, C. K., Anderson, K.

As the reflections occurred between the pre and post surveys, theyprovide a way to observe growth during K-WIDE. Here we focus our results on the graphical re-flections, where we used methodologies from social networking 52,53 , as shown in Figure 3.

employing multiple projects anddifferent project types is challenging, but maintains student interest during the course since thestudents are working on something they are interested in. This is confirmed by the studentfeedback, and successful project results from most of the projects. Spring 2014 semester is notcomplete. However, student performance from the previous two semesters can be reported andwere excellent. In Spring 2013, Out of the 29 who took the course, 25 students (86%) receivedthe letter grade “A” while the remaining (14%) students earned “A-“ as shown in Figure 6. Asimilar pattern occurred in Fall 2013 as shown in Figure 7. Out of the 37 who took the course, 31(82%) students received “A”, 4 students (10%) “A-“, 2 students (5%) “B

Student Outcomes wouldunderstandably be different, regardless of their type of externship. For this reason we chose toask students to what degree they were challenged in the areas of the Student Outcomes with theassumption being that the more they were challenged, the more opportunity they had to learn.For these questions a five corresponded to very strongly, a four to strongly, a three to average, atwo to weakly, and a one to not at all. A modified version of the ABET Student Outcomes wasutilized with a-k appearing to the respondents as: a. Use math and/or science to solve engineering problems. b.

” courses that we define as follows. An important course (orbottleneck course, bn) is one that has an in-degree or out-degree larger than three, or a combinationof the two that is larger than five: bn(GC ) = I deg − (v) > 3 ∨ deg + (v) > 3 ∨ (deg − (v) + deg + (v)) > 5 v∈Vwhere I is the indicator function, i.e., I[b] = 1 if expression b is true, and 0 otherwise. Theseimportant courses represent bottlenecks to graduation, where failure can lead to the inability toprogress in a timely manner.Longest Path and number of Long Paths. In a curriculum graph, the longest path represents thelongest chain of prerequisites through a curriculum. An example involves a typical engineeringmathematics sequence, such as

It is important tonote that the homework problem is usually a larger problem requiring at least 2-3 hours of work.However, all the tools, solved sample problems, software to check the solution, and more areavailable to the students.The topic test is usually one problem to be solved in a 20-30 minute class time and it is given toall students who have passed that topic. Although fast-paced, this method affords students anopportunity to pass a test on a consolidated segmented amount of material in a synchronizedtimeframe. To pass the course, each student needs to pass at least 7 topics for a grade of “C” with8 and 9 topics for grades of “B” and “A” respectively.Additional Bonus Topics have also been offered to
