that in order to learn how to give and receive engineering design feedback, students needto be placed in situations where feedback serves an authentic purpose for a design task.The curriculum development project in which this study took place has an explicit goal ofenabling underrepresented minority students to see engineering as a way to take action onproblems that matter to their communities (Dalvi, Wendell, & Johnson, 2016). One way in whichwe are working toward this goal is by inviting community members to give feedback to studentswhen they are defining the parameters of their engineering design problem. Another way we aresupporting student engagement in engineering is by creating structured opportunities for them togive feedback on

learningenvironment [8]. Presently, to design a successful flipped classroom, educators include variousfactors such as a pre-recorded video lecture with pre-class activity, a follow-up quiz on the pre-class work, an in-class activity, and an in-class group activity. Studies [1, 15] show that thefollowing factors have significant impact on the success of a flipped classroom model: 1) out-of-class and in-class elements must be carefully integrated for students to understand the model andbe motivated to prepare for class; 2) shorter, rather than longer videos; and 3) pre-class activitiesmust be coupled with quizzes or follow-up tasks to assess the student's understanding. A successfulflipped classroom design requires significant effort and time on the part of

. Maintaining thosememories is an issue. Research in the field of memory demonstrates that how quickly andreliably students recall depends on; activation or how long since they last used the informationand strength or how well they practiced it. Standard departmental practice dictates passing aSenior Exam similar to the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, and completing a Senior Designproject. Data from several years of administering pre-tests of pre-requisite material clearlyindicate that student retention declines rapidly over time. A researched technique for memoryimprovement is Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recitation and Test or “PQRST”. This techniquepertains to our strategies. Our department has adopted two strategies to combat this loss

This portion of the class usestheir fluid mechanics textbook and additional notes from the lecture. The subjects of heatexchangers and fluid systems (pumps and piping primarily) are subjects that show up in a few ofthe textbooks on thermal systems design. The depth of coverage for a thermal systems designcourse will necessarily depend on the context of the curriculum, the intended use in the thermalsystems design course and the preferences of the instructor.The inclusion of system modeling and simulation, economics and optimization is a good fit in aclass on thermal systems design. The problem may be to integrate them together in

Device physicsusually demands a great deal of overhead and can dwell on anything from thermodynamics tofield theory. And the devices themselves can range from two-terminal non-linear resistances tofour-terminal transistors. Use of SPICE to illustrate performance characteristics of devices arenot uncommon in the circuits courses, but are uncommon in the semiconductor devicescourses.Most of the instructional framework and time commitment given to semiconductor devices issubmerged in the mathematical expositions necessary to describe the physics of the device [5].This is particularly true for small-dimension devices where high-field effects [6-9
In the sub-section, we discuss the “how” to use the Graphic Organizer we developed tofacilitate readings and learning of mathematics and sciences texts. Various researchers havetheorized that graphic organizers to increase achievement slightly. But what is a graphicorganizer? Ausubel and others have theorized that Graphic Organizer -- “an orderly arrangementof concepts”— can help students learn concepts by helping them to incorporate new ideas withprior or existing concept.1 As a result, we have modeled our device (Structured Reading GuideSRG) in the form of graphic organizer in the hope of facilitating the learning process. Theauthors believed that ideas incorporation occurs when new ideas are integrated with, and/or whennew ideas are added

Solution: Future distance teaching classes, the instructor intends to use the web’s discussion board and refrain from answering e-mail except for clarifying concepts, related to topics covered in class or homework. That policy will be clearly stated in the syllabus defining an appropriate e-mail.Unresolved problems: • Technology and integrity of exams: Unless exams are taken under the supervision of the instructor there is no guarantee of the integrity of the exam, particularly with the

be an important factor in retention (e.g., Wilson & Campbell, 2009). For example, thelack of community has been shown to be a primary reason for women leaving engineering(Brainard & Carlin, 1998), and it has been shown that student success in fields such asengineering can depend on the integration of academic and social activities, such as facultymentoring, collaborative learning, and the formation of study groups. Thus, students not onlyneed financial support, they often also need social and academic support in making the transitionfrom a community college to a four-year institution.To address this issue, the ECASE scholars have, in addition to a substantial scholarship, accessto specialized programs designed to support the scholars
lectures. Despite the increasing availability ofresources and research studies reporting its benefits, active learning has been slowly embraced incore engineering courses. One principal reason is the difficulty of enacting these active learningprinciples. Because these are skills gained and refined while performing them, without practice,many engineering graduate students do not have the opportunity to acquire them. Further,graduate students are also often deprived of the lessons, experiences, and other productiveoutcomes gained through teaching.In this paper, we shared our experiences, reflections, and growth as apprentice faculty at two USR1 institutions. In Fall 2022, we had the opportunity to teach an introductory, core chemicalengineering
