Another Cohort faculty similarly noted: In my classes now, I emphasize how important the actual learning is and what they're going to take on, what they're going to take from this into their future careers. I’m thinking about if the students are actually transforming and learning a lot throughout the class, rather than just getting through it. (Faculty member C1-C)We now hear the faculty using the terminology and patterns of the Engineering Learningframework. It has now become a mantra for some faculty answering most questions about theircourse as “well of course we first think about the learning outcomes.” As they align theirpractices with Engineering Learning, faculty

Further details may be provided perrequest.DIYers can be turned into professionals by helping them understand that after graduation, real-world projects require much more rigor and attention to detail than the simple experiments thatare typically meant to show concepts. The student who can adapt to the demands of thecommercial world will be much better off when starting a career. We believe these labs showthat bridging the gap is doable.References[1] For example, see the following web sites: https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Arduino-so-popular https://makezine.com/2011/02/10/why-the-arduino-won-and-why-its-here-to-stay/ https

I think it would be better to get the students involved rather than watch a TA run the test.”Comments of this type have been appearing since the beginning of the survey and also on theinitial voice of the student focus groups. However, the number of these comments has decreasedover time. A concerted department wide effort has been made to increase the hands on nature ofall lab courses. Some experiments are easier to make

As stated by Feisel and Rosa[4], a typical goal of a laboratory course is to relate theory and practice. They also mention theadded benefit of students interacting with physical systems, which can be useful in a successfulengineering career where the theory must be applied. If done well, laboratories can assist inhands on skills, problem solving, and analytical thinking [5]. While

Latinx students, engineering educators have a unique opportunity toapply their engineering design expertise to innovate the educational experience of their students. InDesign Thinking, one key feature is the emphasis on user engagement and developing a deepunderstanding of a user’s needs, environment, and assets [7]. Educators, as educational designers, shouldfirst seek to understand the unique characteristics of the students in their programs. This process ofdeveloping a deeper understanding of one’s students can result in educational experiences that supportstudent learning by meeting students where they are [8] and connecting to themes, ideas, and topics thatare relevant to the student and their desired career trajectory [9].While the

Thesuccessful implementation of the new assessment model requires some significant adjustmentsnot only by the students, as discussed above, but also by the instructor. For example, crafting anew exam during most weeks requires the instructor to invest a significant amount of time andenergy throughout the semester.

Deliverables deemedunsatisfactory are returned to the student with a one-week opportunity for a single revision.

deterring and a major barrier to retention andsuccess in the profession.[5-10]Several factors have been identified as key challenges: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering orcomputer science as fields of study or as career opportunities [11], (b) the lack of professionalidentity (inability to see oneself as a professional) [7], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [12,13], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with aprospective situation) [14]. Adding to the challenge is the rigor of engineering curriculum whichsubstantially contributes to high dropout rates from engineering [15], averaging at 50%, andranging from 60 to 67% for minorities [12, 16, 17].

inclusion of ethical theory course content thatspecifically includes this concept, as students do not gain this understanding through a typicalcase study based curriculum. This and other studies make a case for supplementing case studyinstruction with ethical instruction that is more closely tied with course content and every daydecisions [5,10,11,12]. The use of case study examples where there is a correct answer andwhere there is a clear tragic outcome or heroic action suggests that ethical decisions are a once ina career event of major consequence. Further, arriving at a conclusion purely through discussionof the case indicates that ethical decisions are a purely cognitive process, dismissing any intuitiveresponse. This approach is likely to
