He holds bachelor’s and master’s degree in philosophy. He placed an emphasis on ethics, both theoretical and applied, in his studies.

The exercise was semi-structured including smallgroup work, large group work, limited time asking the instructor questions, and limited timeusing the internet. A partially affective rubric was used to score the students, and the final examwas only worth 10% of the final grade. The students had been individually assessed on all of theprior material on partial exams. At the end of the exam, students were asked to individuallyanswer some technical prompts (e.g., How would your approach change if you had more time?What additional information would you want? Which of the results are you least confident in andwhy?) and to reflect on the exercise itself. The experience and feedback were overwhelminglypositive

After review of the outcomes and competencies,students are asked to reflect on the competencies in which they are most confident at this stage oftheir education and then participate in an exercise to assess the competencies needed whendeveloping a new product.The Poll Everywhere platform was used to crowdsource responses to the question, “Which of thefollowing competencies have you developed during your first year at the university or based onyour

The course is multi-disciplinary, with hands-on projects fromseveral different areas. The course introduces engineering and computing design principles andpractices, with a particular focus on an agile methodology. The first activity is part of the teambuilding phase of the course, and it is a kinesthetic activity where students develop a process thatsatisfies constraints and meets an objective. The activity involves several sprints wherein thestudents measure their results, reflect, and improve their processes.

Asunda and Hill (2008) studiedthe professional development for tech ed teachers and teacher educators around engineering andobserved that hands on engineering experiences is a key factor of importance to participants inworkshops. Infusing the nature of engineering knowledge in tech ed classrooms should thereforebe centered on reflection on engineering design experiences that draw out and debrief features ofengineering knowledge. This strategy for teaching about the epistemology of engineering hasbeen found to be effective in teaching about the nature of engineering (Deniz et al., 2020

Further,faculty motivation to improve teaching may be hindered if they know or believe that their effortsmay not be reflected by the SET.
