A rubric was developed to assess students on thedemonstration of knowledge and awareness of lifelong learning, of application of skillsconsistent with, and of behavior associated with someone who is a lifelong learner. Performanceindicators constituting evidence that lifelong learning is occurring included: ● recognition of the need for further education and self-improvement; ● recognition of the necessity of continuing
populations. Participating teachers attend a ten day,six hour per day summer workshop, that is offered simultaneous to the graduate student summersession, and this workshop addresses the applications of mathematics and science to engineering.Joint sessions are held during the summer session among graduate students and teachers,allowing for collaboration and brainstorming on lesson plans that will be implemented during theacademic year. The bond between the graduate students and the teachers begins to developduring the summer and is strengthened throughout the academic year. These workshops aretaught in collaboration with expert district teachers, university faculty, and engineers andscientists from a local national laboratory. Each workshop further

It is our hope that this will inspire students not only to enter a graduateprogram, but also to seek a program with an international component.An additional, and equally important, goal of CURE is to build relationships between personnelin the three collaborating institutions by linking the collaborators and their work with each otherthrough these students. We conceptualized the participating student as a resource that would beshared by the collaborating laboratories and, thus, would be prepared by the Georgia TechTech/Emory PIs and mentors to

Often these events made participants questionwhether or not they belonged in the spaces they occupied because they were frequentlyremoved from those spaces automatically.

She was under the supervisionof a white Ph.D. student, and worked in the lab with another Latina student and one whitestudent. She described the preferential treatment from the Ph.D. student toward his whitementee as follows: You could just tell, like, if we asked

Meanwhile, higher-level courses where students are moreadept at use of instrumentation and component manipulation could incorporate those skills intothe troubleshooting process, or be presented with added challenges requiring motivation ofadvanced theoretical knowledge and laboratory techniques toward development of a feasiblesolution.The literature indicated that, in programs where a project-based approach to design integrationwas adopted, improvements in retention rates, increased student satisfaction

Potential for research collaboration One of the more enjoyable aspects of an exchange, other that observing the students making what for most is their first international trip, is the possibility for research collaboration. Carefully evaluate the research potential of their laboratories and their willingness to collaborate in one or more yearly projects. Do not necessarily expect this collaboration to happen immediately. It may take a year or two to develop, but when it
-- and allowing it to guide one’s behaviorThe study of this domain focuses on determining what teaching practices produce the most positiveattitudes or connections to a concept and how feelings and behaviors change throughout theprocess of learning a concept/topic. This domain is harder to study and quantify since it is moreabstract compared to the cognitive domain. Also, it can be hard to separate positive feelingstowards the information and process of learning of a concept versus positive feelings created bygenerally positive social interactions during certain activities, such as during a laboratory session.Thus, our research aims to find general trends based on students' experiences, perceptions, and/orthoughts towards engineering classes and

This course segment requiresstudents to design, fabricate, test, and document a novel design in an application, which is energyharvesting in this paper.

They developed the STIRprotocol to bring STEM researchers and others, particularly scholars in the humanities and socialsciences, together to explore the broader ethical, political, social, and legal aspects of scientificdecision making in a laboratory context.

While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

content for theircurriculum is most often in the pursuit of a tool that helps their students visualize abstractconcepts [2-4] such as forces [5], molecules [6], electrical charges [7], and their impact on realsystems. In a civil or mechanical engineering setting, AR shows promise as a tool to enablestudents to visualize force and moment vectors [8]. From a pedagogic perspective, thistechnology can be seen as an extension of the laboratory that is not confined to a designatedspace, but can be portable [3].Since AR technology for engineering education is still in its infancy, these educational tools arenot widely available. As a result, AR apps are often designed, developed, and deployed by theengineering educators themselves. The effort required

In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
