increase in production of overseas engineers. Adaptiveexpertise is a skill set that would support students’ preparation for the complex problem solvingenvironments of the real-world. The display of adaptive expertise has been said to "ultimatelylead to students' depth of knowledge and habits of mind that lead to success in their career andenable them to be innovators in the field" [2]. For this reason, it is important for educators andscholars to explore how we can better prepare our students to showcase adaptive expertise. It isequally important to assess the effectiveness of our attempts at facilitating this development.Think-a-louds, [3] interviews [1], and self-report surveys [4] [1] [5][6] [7] have all been used tomeasure adaptive expertise
creatively than we typically would.” Interconnected Learning The findings reported above showing differences in perception of how reading the bookexpanded their understanding, seem to suggest barriers in the students minds between learningabout different aspects of society. To say that your view of ethics is expanded, but not yourunderstanding of society or of engineering seems disconnected. This disconnect in types oflearning and understanding could be seen in other results as well. Student Comment: “The main disadvantage was the time spent reading took away from other time learning.” Student Comment: “Taking time to read the book took time away that could have been used learning other things. It was difficult to
, developing self-directed learningskills and solving problems of an authentic nature relates directly to the authentic activities andanchored instruction that are tied directly to situated learning. Similarly, in engineering learningenvironments students are expected to be able to engage in self-directed learning while reflectingon their experiences in preparation for lifelong learning [18]. One drawback to the implementationof this approach is that students will only involve themselves in the process as much as they feelcomfortable to. This is true for any of the three types of activities but more so with theinteractive activities that requires them to work alongside their peers. Consequently, instructorshave to be mindful of students’ individual

Felder, Rebecca Brent North Carolina State University/Education Designs, Inc.If you are like most university professors, you were not taught anything about how to teach ingraduate school or when you began in your first faculty position. All you had to go on was howyour professors taught, but nobody taught them anything about teaching either. It doesn’t make alot of sense, but that’s our system. Teaching is too complex and too important a profession to let people do it
design was produced using technologies that had proved successful inintroductory engineering and computer science courses and in Union’s summer Robot Camp.Cost and time for construction were also considered. With this in mind we opted to: (1) use theParallax Basic Stamp II microprocessor since it met the project requirements, was inexpensive,and used a simple programming language, (2) use breadboards for circuits to provide flexibilityand ease of use, and (3) provide the speech capability through a software solution rather thanpurchasing expensive hardware. We chose Microsoft Agent technology since the use of theanimated, speaking characters had sparked excitement in our introductory programming classes.A proof of concept design was built and
to accomplish this, barriers that hinder females, minorities and people with disabilities Page 22.1149.2from earning engineering degrees must be identified and ultimately overcome.Research shows that prevailing perceptions of engineers and engineering continue to excludeunderrepresented groups. For example, students and teachers often perceive engineers andscientists in narrow ways—such as ―intelligent Caucasian men who are socially inept and absent-minded‖ and who work in isolated settings.2 In order to examine factors that are perceived asbarriers, our study explores the perceptions, attitudes and beliefs held by three groups ofparticipants

engineeringeducation.IntroductionConsider for a moment what steps you would use in the performance of engineering researchwithin your discipline of expertise. Perhaps such things as a clearly formulated hypothesis, astrong grounding in the related literature, a defined methodology, and a concern for validity andreliability come to mind as expectations within your field of practice. A minimum level ofscholarship is expected in the performance of research in all engineering disciplines. Anindividual undertaking serious research would not attempt to publish a technical manuscript in ajournal or present findings at a conference without meeting the rigorous expectations asestablished by the academic community. Then why is it that these commonly understoodrigorous standards are so

struggling with college. 1. How did this student come to choose engineering? Who or what influenced them to make this choice? In high school Abby really liked math. However, she had a dream to go to medical school one day, and engineering seemed like a perfect way to combine these two passions. As someone who was pre-med, Abby thought chemical engineering would provide insight into the solutions that doctors end up prescribing to their patients, and that it would give her opportunities outside medicine if she ever changed her mind. Abby also had a cousin who got her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering and then went off to become a doctor. Abby always thought that it was
