Hamilton, Hannah R.; Mallett, Robyn K. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
One-minute papers allow students to process what they learned during class and improve student performance. However, this activity can become monotonous and takes significantly longer than the name implies. The research described here tests the effectiveness of a briefer, more flexible version of this technique to increase the perceived relevance…

Ellis, Brett D.; Graveson, Jeff – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Graduating approximately 150,000 engineering and engineering technology students per year, the engineering education system seeks to teach students to solve problems via analysis and design. Unfortunately, many curricula emphasize analysis at the expense of design, often relegating design activities to cornerstone and capstone design courses and…
