population. One school was comprised of 60%Hispanic and 15% ELL. Two of the schools with high Hispanic populations are identified asunder-performing by the state accountability system. One is a high performing school withdistinguished status in reading and mathematics. One consistently performs at just above districtand state averages.Procedures Training & Lesson Planning. Teachers participated in a one-day training session thattargeted specific features of the engineering-centered activities including: (a) a read-aloud of anengineering story book (Engineering Elephants) as the hook to an inductive technology lesson,(b) the use of an Engineering is Elementary (EiE) unit on agricultural engineering, and (c)modeling and guidance of
output gate S0 can be chosen. For inputs (A1, B1), gate AXB1 or the sum output gateS1 can be chosen. For inputs (A2, B2), only gate AXB2 can be chosen. For inputs (A3, B3),gates GB3, PB3, or AXB3 can be chosen. There are 12 possible combinations. Two examplesof combinations are shown in Figure 11. (a) One possible combination: gates GB3, AXB2, (b) Another possible combination: gates PB3, AXB2, AXB1, and S0. AXB0, and S1. Figure 11.

The algorithm applied to this selection chose specific gates with delay overhead. Twoexamples of the selection are

The instrument was an adaptation of the Future Time Perspective Scale connectedness subscale from Husman and Shell (2008).Course Belongingness (CB - E, CB-B): This instrument contained five items for studentsfeelings of belongingness in engineering (e.g., “The field of engineering is a good fit for me; Ithink of myself as an engineer”), and six items for students feelings of belongingness in thecourse (biology) (e.g., “ I feel like an outsider in this course, the field of biology is a good fit forme” ) - see Walton & Cohen (2011).Interest (I): The four items of this instrument assess students interest in their biology course(e.g., “I’m really looking forward to learning more about biology

The courseprovides an introduction to computer operating systems, programming language, and technicalsoftware.The ABET criteria (1) covered by this course are a, b, c, d, e, and f, and at the end of this coursethe students will be proficient in working with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and will have the basicknowledge of working with one or two of the Engineering software like Matcad, Matlab, etc.The present work offers a comparison between two different teaching strategies, named herein“Method 1” and “Method 2”, with the goal of identifying the best strategy for improving thestudents’ skills and retention.In Method 1, the course starts with an overview of the Microsoft Office software: Word, Excel,Power Point

This paper summarizes findings after the implementation of arecitation into the course. The recitation was added to enhance students’ math and engineeringreasoning skills. Specific aims of this part of the study were: a) identify the topics in algebrawhere intervention is needed, b) assess the effect of the course on students’ math grades, mathplacement in college, cumulative GPA, and retention in engineering, and c) assess the effect ofthe course on students’ critical thinking skills. This research will benefit institutions andadministrators looking for ways to improve the retention in
student responses and thinking processes through the evolution of responsesfrom individual to team to individual; identifying factors that may influence student thinkingprocesses during these exercises; and developing suitable performance measures. The findingswill inform instructors on the effectiveness of these active learning exercises in the classroom.This paper reports on the salient results of this two-year experience. In particular, it is discussedand demonstrated how the decision worksheets and written evidence from active learningexercises were used to extract information to help understand how students: (a) learn about andapply knowledge of new and career-relevant information; and (b) influence each other’s learningprocesses when
Curriculum for Innovative Design,” sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology (formerly National Science Council), Taiwan, under Grant no. NSC 102-‐2511-‐S-‐002-‐011-‐MY3. Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year

In order to help alleviate these common barriers, two faculty members at Auburn University designed and implemented a 10-day Service-Learning class to Quito, Ecuador. An international Service-Learning class is defined as: "A structured academic experience in another country in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that addresses identified community needs; (b) learn from direct interaction and cross- cultural dialogue with others; and (c) reflect on the experience in such a way as to gain a deeper appreciation of the host country and, an enhanced sense of their own responsibilities as citizens, locally and

Included in these desired outcomes is ourinterest in recruiting and successfully supporting participating veterans, who have been purportedto be an untapped resource of expertise and knowledge highly relevant to engineering (Crawford& Burke, 2016; Jovanovic et al., 2016). We postulated that our veteran participants would havean insider’s advantage compared to non-veteran participants due to the naval context, and thatthis unique knowledge base

This might be because English folks assumed they knew well before coming to theworkshop, but they learned they did not know much about writing in engineering and how toteach engineering students. Through days one, two, and three the level of agreement steadilyincreased for both disciplinary groups with participants (4 in each discipline) reporting in thepost survey that they strongly agreed or agreed that they had learned rhetorical elements andwriting pedagogy. In both cases, shown through Figures 1 (a) and (b), participants reported thatthey felt their level of understanding improved over the course of the workshop.

Additionally, relatively fewresearchers investigated the effect of meaningful elementary engineering curriculum 20,26. Thus,there is a need to investigate students’ shift in perceptions based on gender after experiencingmeaningful engineering curriculum. Although aforementioned studies reveal students’incomplete engineering perceptions with the DAET, further research is still needed to investigatethe effectiveness of engineering curriculum on minority students’ engineering perceptions.
