Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

An Exploration of Faculty Sensemaking in the Adoption of Course Social and Cognitive Engagement (CSCE) Surveys

Creator:: Ironside, Allyson J.
Abstract:: The work of engineering education researchers has resulted in the development of research-based instructional strategies (RBISs) aimed at providing educators with means to increase student learning. Research has shown that there is a disconnect between the development of RBISs and their use by educators. Means to make new practices more...

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...

Development of Authentic Engineering Curriculum through Collaborative Development: Research on Development and Adoption

Creator:: Cross, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Background: Studies indicate that problems utilized in traditional undergraduate engineering education do not adequately prepare students for the workforce. Calls to implement authentic, ill-structured problems into upper level engineering experiences may address this issue but adopting authentic engineering problems without considering barriers to adoption of faculty has not been fully...

Investigating the Current Teaching Evaluation Practices used in Engineering Programs and their Usefulness to Educators

Creator:: Villanueva, Keisha A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of teaching is used to examine and improve teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore...

Pull-Oriented Faculty Development: A Multiple, Descriptive-Explanatory Case Study

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Traditional faculty development programs aimed at disseminating research-based pedagogy and innovations at potential adopters have helped increase awareness of these innovations; however, their adoption into engineering classrooms has been limited. This paper aims to present an alternative, pull-oriented approach to faculty development where faculty participants co-develop curricular innovations with engineering...

Civil engineering students' and practicing civil engineers' understanding of engineering concepts

Creator:: Urlacher, Mark A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore civil engineering students’ and professional civil engineers' understanding of concepts within statics and fluid mechanics. The studies described herein begin to examine theories of situated cognition utilizing concept inventories, which are sets of multiple-choice questions where the incorrect answers are based on...

An Investigation of Student Cognitive Engagement in the STEM Classroom—A Compilation of Faculty and Student Perspectives

Creator:: Barlow, Allyson J.
Abstract:: Student engagement has been the focus of much engineering education research, in large part due to its ties to student learning. Widely considered to be a meta-construct, student engagement is often broken down into behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. Reasons for ongoing research on student cognitive engagement are twofold: educators...
