  • Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

    Creator:
    Barner, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

  • Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

    Creator:
    Bornasal, Floraliza
    Abstract:
    It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...

  • Students' Conceptual Understanding of Mechanics and Materials for Axial and Bending Load Cases

    Creator:
    Berger, Amber D.
    Abstract:
    As people learn new concepts, they experience a process termed conceptual change. There are several theories that attempt to explain conceptual change, and this paper uses the framework theory to explain how students learn mechanics of materials. Semi-structured interviews with ninety students were qualitatively analyzed for this research in an...
