Only one-third of thelessons were found to address the practice of having students ask questions and define problems(SEP-1). In many lessons it was deemed students were either handed a problem to solve or thelesson did not genuinely involve a problem design at all. Lesson ideas that did not integrate SEP-1 included students reading an article and then discussing the social and environmental impact ofthe European Extremely Large Telescope, and having students “create a water filter from every Page 26.1753.8day materials, then write a paper

Mishra & Koehler (2006) argue the role of anew model they call technological pedagogical knowledge in integrating the use of technology inteacher education. They believe “that this model has much to offer to discussions of technologyintegration at multiple levels: theoretical, pedagogical, and methodological” (p. 1017). Also,Bitner & Bitner (2002) propose an eight-point model for teacher technology education: "1.FEAR of change 2. TRAINING in basics 3. PERSONAL use 4. TEACHING models 5.LEARNING based 6. CLIMATE 7.

Research has noted that classroom context andconditions impact the degree of student learning and engagement and are further enhanced whenstudents feel comfortable communicating with the instructor and with their peers.

Manyengineering programs address communication skills through a specific required course incommunications, often administered by a non-engineering department (see reference 3 for anoverview of communication in current engineering curricula). Such a course will typicallyaddress both nonverbal and verbal communication skills. However, it is well recognized thatcommunication skills must be integrated into the engineering curriculum to be effective4. Formany institutions, where written communication is often a significant activity in

This rubric was selected for this research afterall the students had participated in order to assess the quality of their posts.

Often, thesecomponents are provided by vendors as validated intellectual property (IP) cores that can becombined together with an engineer’s unique design in a similar fashion to how individual ICsare combined on a printed circuit board to complete a circuit. These IP cores are often referredto as soft-cores since they are implemented from
