Students carry many misconceptions about how things interact and move, and this (unit) will provide authentic opportunities to correct these (misconceptions).However, in her reflection on the unit, she did note that “the length of time needed for the designproject required significantly more time (over two weeks due to snow days) than is typicallyneeded to cover the topic of friction: 2-3 days.” Teachers continually need to assess whetheradditional time spent on a topic, even if student understanding increases, is worth the investment. Another middle school science teacher taught her students the properties of rocks, minerals,and soils by having them design eco-friendly paint by grinding rocks and

While most faculty and supervisors will agree to provide aletter, if you specifically ask for a strong recommendation then you may hear back that someindividuals do not feel they could write you the strongest possible letter for this particularopportunity.

The Do assignments were as a quiz or survey that had studentsanswer questions about the weekly activities and reflect on their immediate applicability. TheWrite assignments were one-page essays where we asked students to reflect on the weeklyactivities and to create a personal plan that would set themselves up to “Become a SuccessfulEngineering Student”.

Areduction in the HVAC energy consumption load would reflect a significant reduction in the totalenergy consumed.In this paper, the improvement in refrigeration efficiency and COP were analytically investigatedby looking into a shaded condenser as compared to unshaded units.

This is known as theevaluation phase. In the synthesis phase, it became apparent that time was a major constraint.Due to this students must be aware of the fact that they should only take on activities and workthey believe they will be able to effectively complete. Taking on too much will not only leadto a decrease in performance across all of the tasks but will also lead to added unnecessarystress. For these reasons, it is vital to the success of the student to create a plan that takes inimportant system requirements and prioritizes work to

The restof the students (that is, more than 77% of the students) solved the problem without addressingthe ethical issues. The reason could be that the problem does not reflect an ethical dilemma forthem. However, and although this is beyond the scope of this paper, this should be an indicatorof us (the engineering education community at large) doing not such a great job in conveying theimportance of ethics to engineering students.

, “Students’ agency beliefs involve how students see andthink about STEM as a way to better themselves and the world along with being a critic ofthemselves and science in general [20, p. 939]. The critical thinking perspective is intimately tiedto engineering agency beliefs, where students become “evaluator[s] of STEM as well as becomecritics of themselves and the world around them through self-reflection” [39, p. 13]. In essence,agency beliefs in this framework are based on a spectrum of how students view engineering as away to change their world or the world at large.Most agentic frameworks in engineering education used qualitative research methods.

Inaddition, teachers also noted that they especially enjoyed the lecture topics that coincided directlywith lab experiments, as this gave them a sense of how-to best design lessons for their own studentsby being able to actively take on a learner’s perspective. These comments were made immediatelyafter the first 2-weeks of the PD program.
