How refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service technicians learn from troubleshooting

Creator:: Green, Denis F. H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (RHVAC) service technicians (techs) learned from troubleshooting. This understanding resulted in instructional and curricular strategies designed to help community colleges prepare vocational students to learn more effectively from informal workplace learning. RHVAC techs were studied...

A practical implementation of self-efficacy theory to improve the engineering curriculum

Creator:: Plisch, Marjorie
Abstract:: What are the most effective ways to improve the engineering curriculum? Improvements should result in increased student retention, undergraduates who are more industry-ready and graduates who are better prepared to be leaders. Current research suggests that the best predictor of persistence is a person’s self-efficacy. The focus of this thesis...

Development test suite for FPGA TekBot learning platform

Creator:: Lai, Gerald
Abstract:: As the Tekbots program expands into senior and graduate level classes at Oregon State University, so does the need arise for more complex learning platforms. These complex hardware platforms cannot be adequately tested in a manufacturing environment as we have done previously. Also, due to their complexity, these platforms require...

How do engineering students develop and reason with concepts of electricity within a project-based course?

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: Reform in science education has often emphasized task-based learning as an instructional method to improve student understanding and retention of concepts, and to promote the development of reasoning and problem-solving. Yet studies assessing student knowledge at the beginning and end of a task-based class show mixed results. Students in task-based...
