Hye Rin Lee; Teomara Rutherford; Paul Hanselman; Fernando Rodriguez; Kevin F. Ramirez; Jacquelynne S. Eccles – Research in Higher Education, 2024
Community colleges provide broad access to a college degree due to their less expensive tuition, greater course time offerings, and more open admission policies compared to four-year universities as reported (Juszkiewicz, 2015). These institutions have great potential to diversify who chooses STEM, such as engineering. Such diverse representation…

Lydia Ross; Stephen Krause; Eugene Judson; Keith D. Hjelmstad; Robert Culbertson; James A. Middleton; Lindy Mayled; Sara Hoyt; Kara L. Hjelmstad – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Active learning pedagogical practices are more effective than instructor-centered teaching in building students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of engineering content and concepts. As such, a large-scale professional development (PD) program was created to move faculty toward the use of active learning. The project aimed to engage faculty in…

Higuera-Martinez, Oscar I.; Fernandez-Samaca, Liliana; Alvarado-Fajardo, Andrea C. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This research presents a project-based learning (PBL) approach for fostering creativity in first-year students with differential characteristics in the course execution. The first course considered remote teaching during a pandemic period; the second one used 50% of the weeks with remote teaching and the rest with face-to-face…

Shaaban, Khaled; Reda, Ranya – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Students use different modes of transport to go to college. While many transportation programs exist at different universities and many experts find these programs to have a positive impact, no studies have investigated the impact of such programs on the absenteeism and academic performance of college students. The main purpose of this study is to…

Han, Jung; Kelley, Todd; Knowles, J. Geoff – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
This study investigated the sustainability of an integrated STEM education program. Two US high school science teachers and an engineering technology teacher sustained implementation of an integrated STEM curriculum after the conclusion of the funded program, TRAILS. Class observations were conducted to examine how the teachers implemented the…

Yang, Xiaokun – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
In teaching an integrated circuit (IC) design course, many benefits can be gained by offering an industry-relevant project associated with a training to a bundle of electronic design automation (EDA) tools and design methodologies. However, few open-source projects were able to cover the key qualifications needed by industry. Therefore, this…

Schettig, Erik J.; Kelly, Daniel P.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Clark, Aaron C. – Journal of Technology Education, 2022
Success in post-secondary engineering graphics courses in technology and engineering often relies on self-efficacy, academic success, and mental rotation abilities. Using a facilitative instructor model, the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) team applied active learning modules as supplemental material at two post-secondary…

Maral Kargarmoakhar; Monique Ross; Zahra Hazari; Stephen Secules; Mark Allen Weiss; Michael Georgiopoulos; Kenneth Christensen; Tiana Solis – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
While computing programs in the U.S. are experiencing growth in enrollment trends, they are still grappling with matters related to retention and persistence of computing undergraduates. One construct identified by scholars as having an impact on persistence in computing is computing identity, which is shaped by constructs such as recognition,…

Van den Broeck, Lynn; De Laet, Tinne; Lacante, Marlies; Pinxten, Maarten; Van Soom, Carolien; Langie, Greet – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
When students enter higher education, they can encounter the feeling of unpreparedness. In fact, students who lack the appropriate prior education are less prepared. Therefore developing and implementing appropriate interventions for incoming students is important. This study examined the effectiveness of two new interventions at the Faculty of…

Lo, Chung Kwan; Hew, Khe Foon – Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Background: The flipped classroom has become more widely used in engineering education. However, a systematic and quantitative assessment of its achievement outcomes has not been conducted to date. Purpose: To address this gap, we examined the findings from comparative articles published between 2008 and 2017 through a meta-analysis to summarize…
