Our study aims to fill this gap by tracing the career long leadershiplearning journeys of 28 Canadian engineers with at least twenty-five years of work experience.Theoretical perspective: Situated leadership learningThe notion of situated learning is central to our investigation of senior engineers’ leadershiplearning experiences [52]. In contrast to the didactic learning opportunities students encounter inschool, which follow a pre-existing curriculum and are tightly mediated by an instructor, situatedlearning opportunities are shaped by everyday practices and left largely to novices forinterpretation. Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory [52] highlights the type of learningthat occurs in

ways that impact their educational experiences, and shapes the choices and thecareer pathways that they take. It is also clear from this literature, some of which is cited below,that those choices are not always entirely of their own choosing.In this paper, we wish to present some preliminary results from a pilot study on studentperspectives about engineering education, and how students navigate through their owneducational transformation. What we provide in the paper is an early analysis of interview datagained from student interviews, where undergraduate URP/REU students interviewed otherstudents about their educational experiences. Our initial analysis suggests that student pathwaysare determined in largely interactionist terms, namely
assembling the spectrometer box, six 5mm ~3.0 V whiteLEDs were inserted into the LED Bracket. The holes of the LED bracket were angled inward at~18.2 degrees so that each LED right and left pairs’ illumination would overlap at a distance of ~6cm, coinciding with the distance of the cuvette.

Developing a FLL team helped those who participated develop problem solvingskills, critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills, personal responsibility, time management, andparticipants also gained a better understanding of engineering. Participants also gained newconfidence, interests, and involvement in science and math. One of the other most importantgoals for the team was not to win but to succeed as a team.One considerable goal of this program was to set an example to other middle schools across thestate of Iowa. Prior to the 2001 FLL season Iowa was not involved in FIRST TM LEGO®League; last

With the use of LabVIEWTM software, it instantaneously transforms the PC into a virtual instrument. It is believed that software is the most important component of a virtual instrument 10. Table 3.1 shows some comparisons between traditional and virtual instruments. As mentioned in 10, LabVIEWTM software is an integral part of virtual instrumentation because it provides an easy-to-use application development environment designed specifically to meet the needs of engineers and scientists. The ease of using LabVIEWTM and rapid prototyping were

Because studentlearning is directly tied to effective teaching, the ability and willingness to be an outstandingclassroom teacher remains important. Effective teaching is defined in terms of Lowman’s two-dimensional model of intellectual excitement and interpersonal rapport5 and the ExCEEdTeaching Model6. Because civil engineering education for many students is preparation forprofessional licensure and a career in civil engineering practice, those who teach it should havepractical experience as an employed engineer in a consulting firm, industry or a governmentagency.

Success (ROPES):Mitigating and Expanding Students’ Learning OpportunitiesAbstractR.O.P.E.S. is a dual enrollment initiative that was funded by the U.S. Department of Educationand aligned with the New Jersey Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund II and the CRRSAAct. It aimed to create pathways to college for high school juniors in South Jersey, focusing onfive select fields that included teacher education, music business, social services, computer scienceand engineering. The program exposed students to five career pathways, employed targetedstrategies to support underrepresented communities, and integrated social and emotional learning.This paper showcases the program's objectives, student participation, impact on South Jerseystudents, and

Changing this perception may prove tobe the most difficult impediment to effective integration of technology in teaching. The surveyresults show the prevalence of instructor-centered philosophy, and relatively low importance ofeducational professional development to the surveyed faculty.Conclusions and RecommendationsThe results of the national survey underscore the fact that the trends observed by the author arenot specific to one particular institution, but rather are symptomatic of wider

Final examperformance was lower than in previous years, which may suggest that the mid-semestermodality shift impacted their ability to fully synthesize material from the semester. Future courseofferings will use the project to provide students with authentic engagement with GIS and real-world topics, while QGIS will remain an option for remote instruction.IntroductionAt midterms of the Spring 2020 semester, all classes at The Citadel were rapidly transitioned toan emergency online modality due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

engineers needs toemphasize competency in the solving of open-ended engineering design problems. This theme isevident in the growing level of collaboration among accrediting agencies, industry, and federalfunding agencies to support research on the assessment of student learning and to encourageexcellence in curriculum and pedagogy that provide an exposure to engineering practice 1-3.Also, the implementation of the new ABET EC 2000 criteria4 makes it necessary for engineeringprograms to identify, assess, and demonstrate evidence of design competency. These changes inaccreditation have expanded a goal of assessing student learning outcomes to making judgmentsabout curricula and instructional practices with an aim towards continual
opportunities for all students requires an extremely high level of professionalskill and judgment from teachers [1], [2], [3]. Fragmentation in teacher education, fieldexperiences, and university learning is common for future teachers learning professional practice[4]. Broader systemic issues of educational inequity disproportionately exclude students fromminoritized backgrounds from high-quality STEM learning environments [2], [5]. This demandfor rigorous and rich STEM teaching is occurring while teachers, teaching, and teacher educationhave come under intense scrutiny, thus providing a moment of opportunity for dramatic re-envisioning of how we support practicing teachers and the education of the next generation ofSTEM teachers.

interdisciplinary student teams have some unique challenges. Since this might well be thefirst time that students have worked with an interdisciplinary team on a significantly challengingtask, they may find it surprising that disciplines tend to cultivate characteristics. For example,chemical engineers tend to focus on mass and energy balances and view the process in terms ofbalances; they will, in most cases, be confused about how what they view as a process will in anyway integrate with an electronic circuit. The mechanical engineers will want to see machineswhen they look at their device, if they don’t, they might not relate. Likewise, the electricalengineers will want to reduce the process and the machines to electrical circuit components.Such can
NDT technologies. The first stage of the plan was todetermine those NDT procedures which have the most potential use in civil engineering andcould readily be adapted to classroom applications. The second step was to locate suppliers anddetermine the financial cost vs. teaching benefits. The third step was simply the acquisition andde-bugging of the equipment. The final step was to develop lab procedures which could easilybe integrated into the current curriculum.NDT is still considered an emerging field in civil engineering, thus it is difficult to determine thefull impact of these procedures. However, on a smaller scale the success of these methods isindisputable. During the careers of the current generation of civil engineers NDT methods
