We thencame to consensus on how we rated each consideration.Based on our analysis, the students of the CTSS class made a distinctive shift how theyprioritized design considerations for the energy-conversion playground design, as demonstratedin Figure 1. Notably, the aggregate number of considerations that centered on socioculturalconsiderations increased from 7 (10.3% of total responses) to 29 in the second iteration (41.4%of total responses). Moreover, the aggregate frequency of technical centered responses reducedfrom 26 in the first iteration (38.2% of total responses) to 4 in the second iteration (5.1% of totalresponses

Continuing Professional Development

  2  In the context of arguing for the term “neurodiversity”, Griffin and Pollack (2009) arguethat focusing on “difference rather than difficulty” is more empowering as it “rejects adeficit approach to supporting students in higher education”. The term “disabledstudent(s)” is used to refer to any student who has a sensory, cognitive, physical, orpsychological impairment. These students may benefit from using technological tools andrelated services to support and promote access to equitable educational experiences andoutcomes.Many disabled students can only access learning resources and experiences if they haveassistive technologies (Banes & Seale, 2002; Scherer, 2004). However, all studentswould benefit from using the same technology

trend in the UK is similar. For example, the UKPassport Office instead of seeking a witness for the applicant of a passport from the traditionalprofessions now includes the statement “…or professionally qualified person e.g. lawyer, engineer,doctor, school teacher, police officer or person of similar standing” [5].Engineering, although long considered a profession, has not remained static in this changing space.Ever since the engineering institutions were established in the UK they have sought prestige andstatus. In the 1950’s and 1960’s engineers in the UK argued for an equivalent organization to theRoyal Society and they were rewarded by the establishment of a Royal Academy of Engineering.Several years before that, American engineers had won

The opportunity to examine the impacts ofattendance on individual students as they progress through their academic years towardgraduation can be examined. There is still much to investigate leading to new discoveries andfindings uncovering facts that can be utilized to guide and advise students on ways to besuccessful during their college experience. Exactly where the new direction of the study will gois unknown.

Instep 3 (Decide what should be modeled and why), students imagined the model(s) they would create tomatch their physical system. This process didn’t simply ask students to rely upon knowledge they alreadytheoretically had. Rather, it forced them to research in order to learn how they might model the systemthey were analyzing. This research might take them back to foundational knowledge they had alreadybeen exposed to or to new knowledge; although at the beginning the modeling efforts tended to mainlyemphasize the former. The point is that there had to be early imagining of the ultimate model(s
