W438B·MECH - Technical Session 14: Advanced Pedagogical Techniques
Technical Mechanical Engineering Division (MECH)
Wed. June 26, 2024 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
D133, Oregon Convention Center
Session Description

This session explores advanced teaching techniques in engineering education. It includes using LASSI to measure student independence, comparing Blooms Taxonomy-based assignments and project-based learning in fluid mechanics, faculty experiences with evidence-based practices, a framework for enhancing STEM-degree completion, and industry perspectives on troubleshooting in mechanical engineering.

For those interested in: Academia-Industry Connections, Advocacy and Policy, Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology, New Members, and Pre-College

Moderated by
  1. Dr. Joshua Gargac and Dr. Aldo A. Ferri
