Students gain practical experience, and those being served gain valuable assistance. Service Learning programs range from volunteer hours added as a requirement to a traditional course to semester or yearlong classes dedicated to Service Learning. Each model has pros and cons and the effectiveness of a particular model can vary based on the characteristics of and resources available at the individual university. This paper presents the evolving model of a year-long course dedicated to Service Learning and housed in the Mathematical, Information and Computer Sciences department of Point Loma Nazarene University. PLNU is a relatively small liberal arts university without an administrative department overseeing Service Learning. The course is one of three options for gaining practical experience. Hence, the program must be flexible enough to provide a good experience for any number of students and combination of majors, and must be self-contained. We have chosen to run our Service Learning course using a business model where student resources can be realigned as necessary to meet project needs. In addition to project assignments, students cover administrative tasks and provide training to other students.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133929141","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}

In doing so, we gather primary data that reveals the need for change, innovation, and collaboration within undergraduate engineering curricula. Here, we pull information from three sets of data: a) online survey of college of engineering alumni from a large, public university (n= 280); 2) observations on-site within four engineering organizations (n=34); c) interviews completed by freshmen engineering students of practicing engineers (n=60). First, we explore commonalities and differences revealed through the participants' personal narrative about academic and career trajectories. Secondly, we look at their statements about what they value in work projects and colleagues. Common themes emerge from these practicing professionals about the undergrad experience: increase interdisciplinary work, emphasize communication, develop business skills, do more real design work, and foster mentoring relationships. As one participant advised new engineering graduates, “Put away your textbooks and find a mentor…you learn by doing.“","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127098379","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}

Concurrently, engineering educators have developed a number of intuitions about millennial students, most with the common theme of lowered tolerance for lecture settings. Two current threads addressing the “lower attention span problem” are (a) approaches under the rubric active learning and (b) technology developments such as web-enabled screen movies and pod-casts. The second thread is often aimed at a technology “fix.” Experience shows that any technology fix is of itself minimal value. Specifically, our research question is the following: In traditional lecture/laboratory courses what is the effect of replacing lecture sessions with web-based, voice-over slide presentations punctuated with full screen demonstrations and interactive quizzes? We report results from a side-by-side study that replaces lecture with screen movies for three of ten lab sections in a high enrollment, computer tools and problem solving course. Results generally indicate no significant difference between the treatments for learning outcomes, attitudes towards engineering, and attitudes towards the screen movies. Student survey data indicates very favorable attitudes towards the screen movies in general. The results are encouraging given the early state of screen movie development.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127179013","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}

Furthermore, longitudinal studies across courses and ABET accreditation necessitate tracking students throughout their academic programs in which each course will have different types of data. Researchers need to manage, assign metadata to, merge, sort, and query all of these data to support instructional decisions, research and accreditation. To address these needs we have constructed a database to support both data-driven instructional decision making and research in STEM education. We have built upon existing metadata standards to define an extensible Educational Metadata Language (EdML) that enables assessments to be tagged based on taxonomies, standard psychometrics such as difficulty and discrimination, and other data to facilitate cross-study analyses. Once a collection of assessment data are available, faculty can examine their assessment data to evaluate historical trends, analyze the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques and strategies, or compare the performance of different teaching and assessment techniques within their course or across institutions.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125100083","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}

Moreover, this paper discusses how the constructivism pedagogical model and the problem-based learning model were used inside the simulator in order to propose a model that can be followed to design other educational tools for chemistry, and obtaining a simulator completely developed with open source software. The model proposed in this paper consist of three main components, which are the didactic unit, the educational simulator and the pedagogical and didactical approaches, those components are described and were defined taking into account teachers and student's needs in the topic mentioned. First of all, in this paper is described the problematic and background, followed by a description of didactic units and educational simulators. After that, there is a description of the solution proposed and finally the methodologies and outcomes are discussed.","PeriodicalId":129330,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122509241","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}
