), and how can institutional policy better support diversegroups (Turrentine, 2015). It is important to note that many of the publications related to policyfocused on fomenting a diverse faculty, specifically in STEM.The fourth type of research purposes examined the process of “teaching engineering.” Whilemost of the publications in this category focused on strategies for teaching specific engineeringconcepts, some exemplary cases stood out. Examples of the questions and purposes in thiscategory are understanding the instructional strategies used to foster empathy (Gray, de CresceEl Debs, Exter, & Krause, 2016), discussion on the execution and results of a problem basedlearning course (McCullough, 2015), and exploring the disposition of

“program evaluator competency model” to specify the competencies thatsuccessful program evaluators exhibit. This model includes six major categories: technicallycurrent, effective at communicating, interpersonally skilled, team-oriented, professional, andorganized.17In comparison, CEEAA accepted most of the same qualifications/competencies provided byABET, including six basic qualifications. For instance, similar to ABET, CEEAA requires“accreditation experts” to “know scientific, technological, and engineering advances in their ownfields”, “have abundant teaching, administrative, and working experience”, “have disciplinarybackground necessary for accreditation”, and “have strong working, organizational, andcommunicative competencies.”17 However

This is the single most rewarding part of advising seniors: the fundamental reciprocity of the learning-teaching experience." • "[My advisee] addressed…topics that I had considered, taught, and written about before. But our year of cooperation gave me ideas I had not had before - and by that I mean not only that I had new thoughts; I also mean that I found myself correcting errors I had made, changing my mind, realizing that issues I had not thought significant actually counted, and questions I had thought important might be well left aside." • "Because her angle on the material was so fresh, [her] thesis taught me a great deal about two authors I had already known

talked about theneed for more projects with the goal of developing innovation described it as follows: “But maybe some more opportunities to do your own projects or choose from a bunch instead of going in and turning some dials according to this prescribed little lecture they had planned.” “When you’re in college and taking classes and regurgitating what the teacher teaches you, that’s tough. I think that really falls to the teachers in those courses to create – push the students and create some innovative projects to incorporate with the criteria that they’re teaching.”According to the participants, incorporating more of these projects into the curriculum wouldhave the additional benefit of helping
paradigm proposed here combines the advantages of laboratory teaching (e.g., hands-on experience) with an effective teaching of scientific methods and problem solving [1]. Ofcourse, a primary benefit of this method is that students play an active role in tackling ab-stract concepts, which have not been traditionally conducive to such participation. Further-more, these exercises result in an improved competency of the students in using spreadsheetsfor engineering purposes, thus preparing them better for their future professional endeav-ors. [1] The novelty of the proposed technique resides in its objective to illustrate abstractconcepts. This is a departure from prior efforts to use spreadsheets, CFD, or software toolssuch as Mathcad in the engineering

presentation.Background – What we have doneFor the past 12 years we have been developing a pedagogy that combines aspects of Cooperative,Hands-on, Active and Problem based Learning into a unique classroom environment, which we refer toby the acronym CHAPL. This has been developed in a required second semester junior year course, FluidMechanics and Heat Transfer. This course is the second course in our transport series.CHAPLis a group-centered learning approach in which the instructor and teaching assistants act aspreceptors to assist groups in narrowing the discussion focus, probe and guide group thinking whenmisconceptions are encountered and, on occasion, assist groups in resolving conflicts. One of thepedagogical tools central to this approach is the “Jigsaw

graduatewhen structured properly (Rassati et al. 2010; Solnosky et al. 2014). With regard to team situations in the classroom, most degree programs (teaching building en-gineering) are working to adopt more opportunities to develop team assignments, projects, andopportunities. These opportunities are often less than ideally constructed due to relatively few fac-ulty members being trained, or they have no similar industry experience necessary to guide studentteams. Such faculty often are unaware of the nuances that the teams must go through based onassignment structures (the major exception is faculty with significant industry experience) (Hannahand Venkatachary 2010). Consequently, only a surface level understanding of their value on thestudents
Board of Directors in 1996to adopt new standards for accreditation, called Engineering Criteria 2000 or EC2000 whichshifted the basis for accreditation from what was actually being taught in the classroom to whatwas being learned by the students.6 Under Criterion 3, 11 learning outcomes were specified andprograms were required to assess and demonstrate their students’ achievement in each of thoseareas. Among these specified areas was the requirement that students demonstrate “an ability todesign a system, component or process.”7 Universities have adopted capstone design courses toaddress this requirement. Among the modern teaching approaches adopted by some programs isproject based learning (PJBL) which is a student centered approach that

.” Q24One of the women also studying at the CS who changed her schools mentioned that the moreintellectual the school environment, the more equality it possesses. Other participants of theinterview, who do not have STEM specialists in their family, mentioned an example of howthe schools’ extra-curricular activities, such as laboratory visits and career orientation testswere carried out. One of them even had a chance to talk to a professional in her field on acareer orientation course (Q25). “My school provided professional orientation sessions to help us decide with the field of study.” Q26It is also necessary to highlight university activities as well as representatives of the facultywho help and encourage their students both in academic and
higher education [49]. This focus on assets-basedapproaches may be due to the predominantly qualitative nature of the reviewed literature, or thefact that none of the empirical research studies about undergraduate military students inengineering education are more than six years old given the recent shift towards JEDI inengineering education. No matter the cause, this research approach builds a foundation for futureresearch that is both inclusive of and equitable to military students.Synthesis of Research OutcomesOur synthesis of this literature points to some key research outcomes that have implications forcurrent teaching practice and ongoing research related to military students in engineeringeducation. These outcomes can be organized into

We selected mechanicalengineering for three key reasons: 1) the relative size of the department (approximately 1200students); 2) the focus on creative product design and; 3) access to the student population throughdepartmental listservs. First, the mechanical engineering department is the largest engineeringdepartment on campus, and so it offered the greatest potential to stratify student samples accordingto relevant demographic
