The related challenges include finding a balance between the content, the delivery format, the time of delivery, and location in the curriculum for this material. This paper presents details on a pilot project to deliver professional and academic content to engineering students via distance learning during required co-op semesters. Assessment of this experience to solve multiple challenges simultaneously is also presented. Students were educated on engineering ethics, engineering economics, and project management, which are readily applied in workplace settings. This pilot study was conducted during the winter 2011 semester and included six modules, targeting the level of the first co-op course. Twelve co-op students were carefully chosen as a controlled sample to participate in the study. This sample included a horizontal cross section representing all engineering programs, and a vertical cross section including students from each of the three co-op courses. Direct and indirect assessment methods were conducted to assess the project. Students' perceptions of their knowledge in the targeted topics were greater than their demonstrated knowledge. Direct assessment showed an increase in students' knowledge for all three topic areas.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128445127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students' conceptual understanding was assessed using the newly developed Heat and Energy Concept Inventory (HECI). In the control sample, student performance on the overall HECI improved from 49.2% correct to a post-instruction performance of 54.4% correct. Using inquiry-based activities, the mean performance on the HECI improved from 46.6% correct prior to instruction to a postperformance score of 65.7%. Significant learning gains were found in each of the targeted concept areas when the activities were used. The study also examined the impact of the activities on near vs. far transfer of learning and found statistically significant improvements for both, but larger learning gains on HECI items involving near transfer.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129012935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The program consists of training for engineers to hold in-service workshops for teachers who then take hands-on engineering projects into their classroom. Teachers are provided with lesson plans (available in English and Spanish), tied to educational standards in the United States, all accessible on the website tryengineering.org. Each activity is designed to be inexpensive (often less than $10 for a classroom). This program has been successfully implemented throughout the United States for over ten years. Additionally, workshops have been implemented in other countries, including Malaysia, South Africa and Chile. The IEEE teamed with electrical engineering and engineering education faculty and students from Ohio Northern University to implement the TISP activities in a series of schools in impoverished regions in the Dominican Republic. This project allows the team to visit five schools and directly impact over 2000 students. The team will offer the initial workshops in May 2012, then visit the teachers to interview and conduct focus groups to assess the effectiveness of the workshops. A final assessment plan will be developed that will assist in assessment of other international offerings. This work-in-progress should be of interest to anyone working with international engineering education, especially within impoverished or developing countries.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124656176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One way to address this problem is to remove misconceptions held by the nation's youth about computing, including information about how it positively impacts many subjects and showing them that applying computing can be fun and rewarding. One program at a Midwestern university accomplished this goal through a week-long, residential, summer camp for high school students to educate them about career opportunities and possibilities for people with Information Technology skills. Participants completed a variety of hands-on activities daily, along with listening to work experiences of computing professionals. Feedback collected from the student participants showed that in addition t o raising awareness about computing opportunities, the program increased youth interest in IT, prompted many to enroll in computing/engineering courses, and improved their performance in school. This paper shares details about the program and participant feedback to make a case for offering similar programs to correct the knowledge people have about computing.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129540740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It enables collaboration, but the specific choice of technology also imposes constraints on how projects are conducted. Over the past decade, we have engaged in an action research programme to develop an Open-Ended Group Project situated in an educational framework in which international collaboration, including interaction with a real world client, is an essential component. This paper investigates the manner in which students reflected on their patterns of CT use within the collaborative setting. In general, these reflections were found to be superficial and descriptive, exhibiting a reductive view of CT as a set of technological features, which acted as a neutral medium for communication and participation. One consequence of this was a lack of awareness of the ways in which the technology influenced the behaviour of individual students or the collaborative nature of the group. We explore some potential causes for this and reflect on some difficulties faced by the students. These have important pedagogical implications for courses in which the learning objectives include the development of suitable competencies for working in a global collaborative environment.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126901224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
