W324 - Distinguished Lecture Series: Charles Henderson & John Heywood

Session Description

Charles Henderson - The Challenges of Spreading and Sustaining Research-Based Instruction inUndergraduate STEM

There have been many calls for the reform of introductory Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM) courses. These calls have resulted in a cadre of researchers who study theteaching and learning of undergraduate STEM and have developed instructional methods thatimprove student learning. There currently exists a substantial gap between research-based

knowledge of best practice instructional methods and the teaching practices of typical STEMfaculty. This talk will connect data about the spread of research-based instructional strategies incollege-level STEM to ideas from the change literature. Recommendations will be made for how todecrease the knowledge-practice gap.

17/24

Educational policy making is seldom discussed at meetings of engineering educators except in sofar as they relate to implementation, as for example the response to ABET 2000 in the UnitedStates or the Bologna agreement in Europe. Worse, evaluation of such policies is often haphazardand changes in the curriculum are often predicated by technological change. Some are large suchas the development of computer science and technology courses, the need for bio-engineering

relevant courses etc. Some are small and the process of curriculum change is a continuous flow ofsmall changes. Policy makers in most countries try to look ahead, as for example The Engineer of2020 but they are based on current outlook and current predictions. Present polices for highereducation are predicated on the belief that a highly qualified engineering and scientific manpoweris required and that specified numbers of engineers and scientists are required to maintaineconomic wealth. This had led to the growth of specialisms but in recent years it has becomeevident that the axioms on which educational programmes of this nature are constructed no longerhold. First, jobs are no longer for life and it is held that people have to be much more flexible.Second, there is the possibility that the axiom that new technologies necessarily create new jobs isbreaking down. These are broad issues that have not been tackled by those responsible for highereducation policy and by implication engineering education policy makers. The purpose of this

paper is to consider the implications of technologically structured social change for the highereducation curriculum.

Charles Henderson, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Western Michigan University (WMU), witha joint appointment between the Physics Department and the WMU Mallinson Institute for ScienceEducation. Much of his research activity is focused on understanding and improving the slow

incorporation of research-based instructional reforms into college-level STEM courses. Researchprojects have attacked this problem from several directions: in-depth studies of faculty attemptingto change their instruction, surveys and interviews with faculty related to their interaction withresearch-based instructional strategies, and an interdisciplinary literature review of changestrategies in higher education.

Dr. Hendersons work has been supported by several National Science Foundation grants and hasresulted in a number of publications (see http://homepages.wmich.edu/~chenders/ for details). Inspring 2010, Henderson was a Fulbright Scholar with the Finnish Institute for EducationalResearch at the University of Jyvskyl, Finland.

developed programs for assessment of higher education. He studied the work done by engineersand applied this to developing objectives for technical training. He developed curriculum forengineering education and for a trans-disciplinary engineering management program. This led tohis development of theories for assessment and principles of trans-disciplinary programs. At theUniversity of Dublin, he has focused on teacher education, continued his work on curriculum and

assessment, and has implemented models based on the study of engineering education to historyand mathematics. In all of this, he was greatly influenced by his experience of industry andengineering. Recently, he has focused on bridging the gap between educational research andengineering education, and the development of engineering literacy, especially at the K-12 level.He has some 150 publications. He was founding editor of the International Journal of Technologyand Design Education. He is a Fellow of ASEE, and a Senior Member of IEEE.

W326 - Distinguished Lecture Series: Patrick A. Tebbe - The Challenges and Implications

for Energy Education

Session Description

In March 2011 the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan was hit by twin naturaldisasters of a 9.0 earthquake and a tsunami over 10 meters high. The combination forced a shut-down of the reactor and severed externally provided power. Backup generators and batteries,which at first functioned normally, were swamped and disabled by the tsunami waters. Thesubsequent loss of reactor core cooling led to rising temperatures which ultimately resulted in apartial melting of the fuel rods and several hydrogen explosions (produced by a steam-zirconiumreaction). Eventually the situation was brought under control, but not before several forms ofradioactivity were released; some intentionally and some not.

The technical aspects of the events in Japan, the media coverage of them, and the publics reactionto them, all raise challenges to the engineering education community. For several decades nuclearengineering education has declined in the U.S. with many predicting it to be a dying field. Whilerecent years have seen an increase in students and program options, due to workforce issues andthe potential of new U.S. plants being built, nuclear engineering is still a relatively minor player inthe engineering education field. Additionally, whereas students in other fields are routinelyexposed to topics such as solar and wind power during their general studies, coverage of nuclearpower in even its broadest aspects is not provided to most engineering students. As indicated byFukushima there are currently many complex design challenges in nuclear power that need trainedengineers from all fields to address them. In addition, as some reviews of the accident have pointed

out, regardless of the future of nuclear energy there is a need to maintain a skilled nuclear powerworkforce for the foreseeable future to address the safety of existing plants and spent fuel storagefacilities, such as those which now sit at Fukushima.

A separate and possibly more crucial role for engineering educators is seen when the mediacoverage and public reaction to Fukushima is analyzed. The public reaction demonstrated a generallack of scientific understanding and a wealth of mis- and pre-conceptions. When situations like thisarise the public must rely on other reliable sources, such as the media and various governmental


19/24

agencies to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, in the case of Fukushima the various agencies involvedprovided conflicting reports and the media proved to be only marginally more knowledgeable thanthe public. This lecture will go through a time line of technical events during the Fukushimanuclear accident. Corresponding details on the information and disinformation released by variousagencies and media outlets, as well as the public reaction to it, will be overlaid with this. As a post

analysis, the way these issues continue to play out in the public and within the areas of energyeducation will be discussed.

W363 - Distinguished Lecture Series: Presented by National Instruments: An Ecosystem for

Every Student

Session Description


20/24

While the challenge of equipping students with the practical experience required for future successis more pressing than ever, robust technology ecosystems around standard platforms make itpossible to build applications upon generations of innovation and theory. As these platformsevolve, cost, time, and space constraints wane so that every student can access industry-standardtechnology anywhere, anytime to bridge theory and simulation into experimentation to "do"

engineering. Join Dave Wilson as he previews the next ecosystem that will make it possible to takethe relevant challenges that attracted students to engineering in the first place and put them in thepalms of their hands.
