This came into agreement with other studies such as [11], [12] and [13].Compared to conventional, instructor-centered based courses, PBL learning techniques offer abetter vehicle to retain concept, providing richer context in which a topic can be learned andpracticed at the same time. This not only retains students’ interests and helps them understand theconcept, but also helps prepare them succeed rapidly in their future careers as most companies relyon team work, critical-logical thinking, complex problem solving in their

For the employers of our graduates, we believed that withengineering programs we would be able to provide them with better prepared graduates than wecould with the engineering technology programs. Part of this was due to aforementioned increasein foundational math and science courses, and the ability to achieve more depth in upper-divisioncourses as a result. In addition, we knew that we would be able to increase the number of creditsin the programs as we transitioned from engineering technology to engineering, so we felt that wecould add content without having to give up any content that

exclusively in those states that have adopted the Next Generation ScienceStandards, which include engineering performance expectations at all grades [1]. Aside from itsinclusion in the NGSS, there are many reasons for even the youngest K-12 students to learn toengineer. Engineering is motivating for students, engages their creativity, introduces them toengineering careers and helps to reinforce and apply scientific and mathematical knowledge [2-5]. Engineers and K-12 students alike use iterative engineering design processes to solveproblems [3, 6-8]. The designed solution to a problem is often an object (e.g., a bridge), but canalso be a system or process. In the early part of design processes, students: define the problem;consider relevant knowledge

Jill explained her hope that students will take on STEM identities whileengaged in classroom work, I would love for them to start to be little engineers where they are keeping their own little engineering notebook and saying okay this is how I’m going to make a table, this is what the table is going to look like and then make the graph afterwards.By putting students in the position of STEM professionals in the classroom, Bob had similarhopes, “And so, hopefully, and maybe no one will from there, but I hope some of the kidsthere…maybe they will want to

], [6].Commercial success was based on Hyatt’s development of a technology for molding celluloid,and the use of the substance persisted until 1949, eventually replaced by newer, less flammableplastics. His machine has been hailed as a “direct forerunner” of modern injection molding [5].Hyatt’s invention foreshadowed a manufacturing revolution, starting with the successful launchof Bakelite in 1907, developed by Belgian-born scientist Leo Baekeland, who graduated from theUniversity of Ghent with a degree in chemistry and began work as an assistant professor. After ashort career of teaching pure chemistry, however, he discovered that he was more interested inapplications, and he and his new wife immigrated to the US in 1889, where he began work

. Targeting these types of activities may be effective atreducing student loneliness. Diehl et al. conclude their study with the following: Universities are a perfect setting for conducting interventions to support students in attaining a healthy lifestyle (e.g., by offering sport courses) and also for giving them the opportunity to start their professional career being healthy. Giving support at this stage of life is important in preventing lonely students from “being trapped in loneliness as they age”Moving forwards, the authors are planning improvements for the 2020 fall break intervention.Speaking with students who remained on campus, there is clearly appetite to increase the numberand variety of social activities running during the week

important consideration in course structure. Although these skills are critical for a successful career in engineering, they are often not explicitly included in lecture based course outcomes. Student ability and learning in these areas is also not typically assessed, likely due to the lack of metrics available to evaluate this type of learning. We have therefore introduced a weekly reflection, including both multiple choice and free response questions, into the course structure. The importance of reflection on teaching and learning has been well documented (Boud, Keogh, & Walker; Brookfield, 1990; Dewey, 1993, King & Kitchener, 1994; Schön, 1983). Providing students with opportunities to reflect on their learning helps them

Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE

The alignment of engineering students is significantly associatedwith the majors and careers they choose to pursue [6]. Therefore, when facing ambiguous ethical 8dilemmas, orientation to others in their environment is likely to predict microethical understanding[6].Bairaktarova and Woodcock (2015) also found that differences in individual

For example, each semester wouldyield various designs for collapsible backpack umbrellas, automated erasers for dry-erase boards,and novel charging methods for personal electronic devices. Equally problematic was thatstudents struggled to see the value of the patent application assignment to engineering practice.On course evaluations they frequently voiced that it was difficult to appreciate the project’srelevance to a career in engineering especially as they were unlikely to become inventors orpatent attorneys.

challenges for educators [12].Engineering education scholars Juan Lucena and Jon Leydens suggest incorporating contextualdetail into more traditional technical problems that students are presented with. They proposedoing so by asking traditional technical questions in ways that require students to interrogatepotential circumstances of problems they are given in class [13]. This can be done in ways thatdo not forfeit the technical requirements demanded of an engineer, but rather complementlearning in the classroom to better mirror (and prepare students for) the socio-technical worknecessary for acting as Engineering Changemakers or, simply, for successful careers inengineering.This paper details the first iteration of a module to incorporate
