Turns et al. characterize reflection on experience as "an intentional form of thinking where a person revisits an experience with a specific meaning making lens.” Examining prior experiences has the potential to contribute significantly to how people learn, connect experiences, prepare for future learning, and engage in future experiences. While there is value in reflection, this topic and pedagogical approach has received little formal attention. In fact, key engineering education scholarship calls for greater consideration of reflection and reflection activities in engineering education — “… ... (continued)

Do you want to use classroom time effectively? Want student engagement in the classroom? Need to teach “soft skills” without cutting content? Team-based Learning (TBL) is not your typical teamwork experience. TBL uses the flipped classroom model to first prepare students for in-class activities. Then, by using a proven sequence of in-class activities, students solve problems and use the pre-assignment knowledge to go deeper into analysis. Students practice not only team working and problem solving skills, but also critical thinking and communication skills when they report and defend their answers ... (continued)

A fundamental foundation of basic physics is essential to any engineering program. At the core of physics educational goals lies a complete discussion of the importance and applications of vector manipulations. Students are typically exposed to vectors in their early physics regimen and will continue to use vectors for the entirety of their engineering career. Since vectors are of such importance, it is essential that every student leave the introductory physics sequence fluent in vector algebra. Typically, however, vector manipulation is viewed by students as just another mathematical exercise to ... (continued)
