Does the proximity and relationship with the community partner affect the manifestation of empathy in students on service-learning design projects? a. How is empathy manifesting on service-learning projects? b. What factors contribute to the manifestation of empathy in students working on service-learning design projects?ContextThe EPICS program engages students in long-term partnerships with local, regional and globalcommunity partners [6]. Undergraduate students from all engineering disciplines and othermajors across the university earn academic credit within their respective plans of study
, however, and to conduct analyses and organize results, thefollowing analyses were planned and hypotheses posed:1. Explore potential differences in ESIT and MFQ responses based on gender, age, prior workexperience, political orientation, and religious affiliation, and MFQ differences based onprevious ethics education.2. Hypothesize that students with previous ethics education would receive higher P and N2scores on the ESIT, based on results from [1].3. Hypothesize that students in this sample would receive lower P and N2 scores on the ESITthan those in [1], since the participants in this sample were non-native-English-speakingstudents.4. Hypothesize that students in this study would receive higher N2 scores after completing a one-semester-long

Two students indicated their internship(s) helped them to pre-plan theirsolution, stated by one of the seniors: “I think that's helped me take a step back and look at it alittle more closely before I just jump right into it.” One student also stated their internship helpedthem to use outside resources as in the following example: “… and I realized how many differentsolutions and how easy it is to call a representative and especially how easy it is to call otherpeople and be like, "What have you used and what products would you recommend?" So, that'sprobably what I would have done on this.” It
a lot about what it takes to make anonline course successful. Among key lessons learned were that required synchronous onlinemeetings help keep students engaged and on track, an online chat forum (especially with a TApresent) enables a level of student engagement usually not found in in-person classes, and qualityonline interactive content is highly effective (more so than videos). Readers interested in a shortdemo video of how we run our online course can refer to [17] (full video [18]). In the pastseveral years, we have assisted several other universities to create new online courses modeledafter our course, in some cases simply cloning our entire course for an instructor to step into andteach at their school. We plan to continually
activity. In future work, we plan ondeploying our survey to institutions with a broad range of student population, departments withvarying engineering and design cultures, and professors with different approaches to the designof reflection activities. ConclusionThrough this survey development process, we have been able to identify four complications thatarise when trying to understand student reactions to reflection. Through understanding studentexperiences, we can find ways to improve reflection activities and at the same time empathizewith students as we learn how properties of reflection can cause diversity of reactions fromstudents. Understanding student reactions to reflection is a promising route
, novelty, and quality in order to evaluate thestudent’s level of design ideation expertise.BackgroundThe phases of engineering design are often taught as having a circular, iterative nature. Anengineering product or process is designed through phases of (i) defining the problem, (ii)brainstorming solutions, (iii) planning a solution, (iv) prototyping, (v) evaluating the solution, andfinally (vi) reflecting for iteration, shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Simple infographic conveying six phases of engineering design iteratively.In practice, the activities associated with each engineering design phase are highly interdependentand do not simply progress in a neat iterative circle, as implied by common infographics for theengineering design process
time frame allotted each day was a challenge, with activitiesusually taking longer than planned. As the activities are refined, the time estimates for eachactivity are becoming more accurate, and tend to fit well into the 50 minute time periods. Forlonger class sessions, multiple activities could be used together.Time always seems to be a big factor when deciding whether or not to try an intervention. Thesame amount of time was spent on each topic for classes using models vs. non-models since eachcourse went through similar activity sheets. Active learning can take a little more time than justlectures. For example, four days were spent on volumes of revolution using activity sheets (withmodels or electronic visuals), versus three days
= 7.8 ∗ 10−3 ). The increase between 2018 and 2019 may haveoccurred due to the new inclusion of freshmen in the survey. The freshmen have only beenexposed to one module in MSE 182 rather than the two in MSE 201, which had previously beenthe first course with integrated computational tools in the MSE curriculum. We conclude thatexposure to the computational modules is fulfilling students’ desire for more computation in theirMSE classes, but that more modules are still desired. We are exploring whether modules can beadded to more MSE classes and plan to expand the number of modules in MSE 182 and MSE422, which currently only have one.6 ConclusionSince the survey of employers of MSE students by Thornton et. al. 1 , our department hasintegrated
undergraduate respondents, the largest portion (26.3%)were from Environmental Engineering Program. Also, our college is unique to have AppliedSciences combined with Engineering, we had 3.5% of the respondents from Physics.7. Future WorkWe plan to continue with additional surveys, and seek responses from broader student body todetermine and rank the behaviors establishing rapport in engineering classrooms. In addition, ourgoal is to further develop the blended faculty professional development and educate our facultyon the behaviors that establish rapport. To understand the real impact on students, we willcontinue to study the instructor behavior, and student feedback correlating the impact of rapporton student resilience and retention in a longitudinal

demonstrate that overallknowledge is not diminished when peer instruction is the primary form of learning.IntroductionThe authors, along with many other engineering educators, have been strong proponents ofactive learning. Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3]. When one of the authors was granted aFulbright Scholar Award to teach a biochemistry course in Uganda, the plan was to reproduceteaching methods used in the United States such as clicker questions, think-pair-share, and teamactivities which would be easy for the students to adopt [4].

statements that do not align with true stakeholder needs.Furthermore, other studies have shown that engineering students may struggle to collect andanalyze qualitative stakeholder data as part of their problem identification and definitionprocesses [10], [13], [19]. These data collection and analysis challenges are partially related tostudent difficulties encountered while planning information gathering interactions withstakeholders [10], [13], finding and accessing stakeholders who can best provide neededinformation [10], [13], and translating conflicting or ambiguous stakeholder responses intospecific needs and/or requirements [10], [18], [19]. Problem identification and definitionprocesses also generate large amounts of qualitative data that
Methodology and Technology InnovationsDriven by the challenges and industry needs, we are developing new methodologies (i.e., big dataanalytics, risk analysis, DoE and AI) for end-to-end biomanufacturing risk management and real-time production process control, which can facilitate QbD, PAT, continuous and flexiblemanufacturing. Operations research (OR) typically focuses on finding the optimal design,planning and operational decisions for complex stochastic systems, such as integratedbiopharmaceutical manufacturing system. The OR methodology development forbiopharmaceutical supply chain is still in its infancy [7].State-of-the-art OR analytical models and methodologies for biopharmaceutical operations andsupply chain management have several key

For faculty at the beginning of their teaching careers, we provide information, support andfeedback for a strong start in teaching so they build confidence and identity as goodteachers. For highly skilled teachers, MTEI offers assistance with planning and assessment ofnew approaches, or technology, or learning activities they created. Both of these groups offaculty are highly motivated and seek out and welcome assistance. For teachers needingsignificant and more specialized support, their departments frequently encourage them to

Our model gives a 57% recall, which isunfortunately not high, but is better than selecting students at random. The instructor plans tocontinue gathering data to improve the classification model.To answer the second research question (can we improve the student experience and performancein the course via an intervention based on early predictions?), we analyzed assessment scoresfrom students in each of the four groups A, B, C and D.Student final grades 125 100

Bottles were modified by the addition of wings, etc., partially filled withwater, and then pressurized and launched. Schools throughout the country are using variousversions of soda bottle rocket projects in science education12,13 and NASA has proposedstandards and lesson plans for grade 5-12 students.14 Specifications and constraints for thisproject were as follows: The goal was to build a rocket that would fly as far as possible, but distance was measured perpendicular to the plane of the launcher
