Since we use their topic, the research theyread and report on is relevant to their study.The use of breakout session to discuss problem statements, deliverables, and methodology givethe students opportunities for peer to peer review and critiques. Since the class has some workingprofessionals and a mix of majors, the peer to peer feedback is diverse and seems to positivelyimpact quality.RecommendationsThis approach can work well with mature, motivated graduate students. Use this approach withundergraduates is questionable. The approach only works for those well grounded in both thetheory and practice of the course topic and try to stay current via readings
and social cultures among the various STEM disciplines will undermine a ‘onesize fits all’ retention plan. Based upon departmental needs analyses and published research onpossible ‘fits’ from successful STEM initiatives at other institutions, we designed PRIMES toblend two general strands that would support these anticipated outcomes: 1. Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable them to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a

The curriculum isbeing designed with learning objectives, applications, conditions, and exercise notes. One of themain objectives is to teach students from novice to expert users preparing them with adequatefluid mechanics fundamentals and hands-on CFD project works in order to prepare them for theircapstone design projects, higher education and further research in fluid mechanics.

Engineering design courses are frequently used to givestudents opportunities to practice entrepreneurial skills while working on real world engineeringproblems (Shartrand and Weilerstein, 2012). Entrepreneurial-Minded Learning (EML) pedagogyhas been developed as techniques that emphasize students learning to create value, gather andassimilate information to discover opportunities or insights for further action (Melton, 2014). TheEML pedagogy provides engineering faculty with a useful and effective tool for embeddingentrepreneurship modules within individual technical courses. Rather than displacing technicalcontent, EML promotes inductive learning and allows students to explore the “why”, “real-worldrelevance”, and “impact” of the

They are principles and standards to follow and not a cookbooksolution outlining steps to resolve every ethical situation.MethodologyA junior level course was developed a number of years ago titled Technology in WorldCivilization (Loendorf17, 2004) that was designed to broaden the students' perspective of pasttechnologies and how they were discovered and used. The main objectives of the course were to:(a) promote awareness of technological development, and (b) provide a rudimentaryunderstanding of their social, political, economic, and cultural impact.

The contributions marketing andengineering make to each phase of the product innovation process are emphasized. The secondtheme is iteration and adaptation. As marketing and engineering develop information about theproduct and its potential market, the design and marketing plan must change. Suggestions aremade for improving the courses based on what has been learned and where the program is going.I.

: ≠ Orientation workshops for instructors which highlight the background educational research, student survey data from previous semesters, and provide activities to practice writing open-ended higher-order thinking questions. These workshops built a community of users and provided more information to faculty about best practices in scientific teaching. ≠ Meetings between the instructors and the programmer to learn how the instructors would tag responses. Our team began with the idea of being able to quickly sort responses and provide feedback. After talking to faculty we found that there are many methods of sorting responses and different perspectives on the types of feedback that should be sent to
fundedResearch Experiences for Teachers (RET) programs since 2003 to support “authentic summerresearch experiences for K-14 educators to foster long-term collaborations between universities,community colleges, school districts, and industry partners [2].” Though long-standing andmeaningful in their impact, the RET program is limited in size because of the intense nature ofthe program from a facilities and personnel standpoint. The Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS), released in 2013, include some engineering practices across all grade levels. Thesestandards have been adopted in about half of the fifty states, with many other states creatingsimilar standards [3].

Major changes for STEM students, especially at colleges without a common first- andsecond-year curriculum, place large burdens on students. These burdens come in the form ofincreased time to graduation, increased use of often finite financial resources, loss

She holds a Master of Science in Engineering and Master of Education from UNLV and a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to graduate studies, Erica joined Teach for America and taught high school chemistry in Las Vegas. While her primary research
Engineers (2004), highlights this issue and states “blind devotionto ethical codes will not address the ethical concerns of the engineering profession. Thefinal burden is upon the individual’s conscience and values.” The question then remains,how do Engineering curriculums develop appropriate learning experiences to facilitatethe development of personal codes that will positively impact the professional code?Whitbeck’s (2004, Undergraduate Education in Practical Ethics) agrees that “rather than Page 10.622.1simply studying a code, a more engaging active learning approach” is needed.
