AB  - This workshop will present a milestones-based approach to enhance key learning modules in engineering courses to improve student engagement, participation, and performance. This idea will provide a guided-inquiry-based structured approach to delivering key learning modules and the assignments, projects, or other deliverables linked to them. The basic idea is to redesign the delivery aspect of learning modules to allow for one or more in-class activities where students can review, discuss, and work on getting started and completing at least some portion of the major linked deliverable for the topic. Through the activity, students will be encouraged to reach a meaningful milestone toward completing the full assignment or project. This approach guarantees that all in attendance have at least started working on the deliverable and have a clear idea and understanding of what needs to be done. Instructors and support staff are available to answer any questions or to provide further clarification. The authors have piloted this approach in a multidisciplinary first-year engineering design course and have observed a significant increase in student participation, engagement, and performance. This approach does require some advanced planning and redesigning of lesson plans but also provides an added structure to the course.
This workshop will be an engaging session of two parts. In the first half, presenters will go over the basic idea and a couple of examples of how some modules were updated based on this approach and the second half will invite participants to work in groups to identify some of their modules and to design a milestone-based activity around them. All participants will walk away with ideas and action plans based on this approach for immediate implementation in their courses.
This session will be beneficial for those interested in Excellence in Teaching, Active Learning, Student Engagement, and Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology.
