Students present their artifacts, and mark each other's and previous cohorts' artifacts. We argue that the “live” nature of such peer evaluation causes a profound level of reflection in the understanding of the criteria as well as calibrating individuals' responses to those of their tutors and peers. We therefore believe it is likely to be even more effective than traditional peer assessment. We make tentative conclusions in terms of effect on student attainment as well as some suggestions of the cognitive processes triggered by such methods.","PeriodicalId":407302,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) 2012","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121924449","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}

To further improve the within-course alignment and to further refine cross-course alignment for all courses offered within this program a set of competencies for each course of the program was derived and integrated into a program-wide yet course-level competencies framework. Subsequently, the competencies framework was integrated with Learning Outcomes Framework defined at the program level. Numerous challenges were encountered and several important insights were gained while extracting and framing competencies for all core and elective courses of the program. This paper describes the competencies extraction and definition process particularly focusing on the impact which the nature, level, complexity and the audience of an undergraduate course have on this process. In addition, this paper highlights the benefits which the implementation of the competencies framework brings to the School, students, teaching staff and potential employers.","PeriodicalId":407302,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) 2012","volume":"388 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134528271","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 participants were 84 third-year undergraduate mechanical engineering students enrolled in the internal combustion engine course at a college of engineering of the University of Mumbai in India. The experimental group revealed two results. Firstly, adopting concept mapping strategy can significantly improve students' learning achievement compared to using the traditional teaching methods. There were significant differences favoring the experimental group for the knowledge recall questions and the knowledge application questions. Secondly, most of the students were satisfied using the concept mapping strategy in an internal combustion engine course. They indicated that concept maps can help them to learn, identify the key concepts, and connect the various concepts. They also thought that concept mapping could be used in other curricular areas.","PeriodicalId":407302,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) 2012","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130717064","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}

Especially, intellectual property (IP) rights of global companies have expanded their roles not only in protecting relevant R&D achievements, but also in mediating the utilization of licenses and others' business resources. In regard to IP, most of the attention focuses on creation and protection of intellectual property. However, education on IP is important as a long-term strategy to form a solid foundation of creative human resources. Especially, the active education is necessary to cultivate the student independent creativity. This paper is to survey and analyze support systems for IP activities of university students in Korea and Japan. Applying conjoint comparison, this study shows not only the relative importance of the attributes related to IP activities but also more effective support programs for promoting IP activities of students. It is expected that this study may help to develop IP academic activities in Korea and Japan.","PeriodicalId":407302,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) 2012","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124166419","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}

Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has shifted from being an “add-on” to becoming an essential component of the curriculum. Recently, initiatives aimed at reducing the digital divide, and lightening the load of students' backpacks, such as the “e-schoolbag” project launched in Shanghai and other major cities, have reignited the discussion on ICT's increasing role in the classroom. This paper traces some of the background of “e-schoolbag” and other similar projects, and discusses the trends and expected benefits now being identified. The paper also reports on a preliminary investigation conducted in an international school in Hong Kong, where the penetration and adoption of ICT in the classroom is reported to be comparatively high, and where they have introduced Apple's iPad and Amazon's Kindle as core tools for classroom use. The paper looks at some of the challenges facing adoption of such tools, including the difficulties of obtaining electronic versions of the desired course content or textbooks, and reports on some of the solutions appearing for these problems. The paper concludes with some suggestions of future directions of research and development to support the incorporation of digital learning devices in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":407302,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) 2012","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123518803","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}
