Published: January 2019

As videos are gaining popularity in flipped and blended Engineering classrooms, there is an increasing need to track and understand students’ use of the videos, in order to identify evidence-based practices matched to the emerging trends in video and video annotation tools. We explore students’ surveyresponses, follow-up interviews, and log data from their interaction with common video platforms as well as, ViDeX, a new experimental video annotation tool, to evaluate how, when and why students watch, rewatch, and annotate videos in two large introductory Engineering courses, with flipped, and blended formats. Our findings show that students watch thevideos with the instructors’ intended use in mind, and plan their review process accordingly. In the flipped classroom, most students summarized the short preclass screencasts in their personal notes to minimize the need to re-watch the videos before the exam. In contrast, students in the blended classroom reexamined the long tutorial videos mostly to redo the problems before the midterm and final exams. Bookmarking seemed to be useful for locating those problems of interest. Since the problems required drawings and computations, paper annotation was more beneficial than a dedicated video annotation platform.
Developing Student Meta-Cognition in a Design Course.
Authors: Steele Alan L. 
Published: January 2019

practice can help with developing professional skills. To encourage the development of self reflection and ultimately meta-cognition related to project and design work, undergraduate electrical engineering students in anon-capstone project course undertook reflection exercises on their group project. The instructor observed a range of abilities to undertake the reflections, with some not going beyond describing the work that they had done, whereas others started to show a deeper consideration and thinking about their project work. The main route for reflection was a reflection journal, where five entries were required over the period of the project. The choice of reflection topic was up to the student except in one entry case when a mandatory question on life long learning was asked. For each of the other reflections a suggestion was provided for a reflection topic. Other opportunities for reflection were included with questionnaires at the beginning and end of the course, as well as presentations including one describing one thing the group had learned.The individual experiences of students in a first major group project course allow a range of reflections to occur, from ideas about planning, group work, problem solving and design being potential areas for discussion. Evaluation here is restricted to the instructors observations and not a detailed analysis of the student’s reflection work. This is an early examination of reflection and meta-cognition of the students but there areindications that students are taking the first steps in considering their approaches to project and design work.

Authors: Taylor David 
Published: January 2019

Since 2014, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has required that accredited engineering programs implement a process of Graduate Attribute Assessment and Continual Improvement (GA/CI). At the University of Ottawa, the GA/CI process has beendesigned around three levels of administration (Faculty,Program and Course) that also utilizes Vena Solution’scloud database system structured around Excel. This paperdescribes the Faculty’s three-tiered administrative structure and discusses the implementation of the Vena system at each of these levels.
Sustainability within Technical Engineering Curriculum – A Hydraulic Fracturing Module in Fluid Mechanics
Authors: Anderson Ryan , Gannon Paul , Plumb Carolyn 
Published: January 2019

A transferable module is presented that brings sustainability topics into a core chemical engineering fluid dynamics course. A topic was chosen based on technical applicability to the course and currentdebate on the topic. In this case, hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’) was chosen for the connection tocourse content (e.g. pumps, porous media flows) and its widespread debate in the United States. Onthe day of the activity, a guest instructor first surveyed the students with questions on theirunderstanding of and opinion on topics within fracking. The students were then shown two short videoson the topic, one from a science-focused group and one from an industrial proponent of the frackingtechnology. After the videos, students were sorted into five theme areas: science/technology,economics, policy, society, and the environment. These areas were chosen to highlight the breadth oftopics that must be engaged in order to approach such complex problems. Further, it is a move towardinterdisciplinary learning within engineering curricula where students consider broader societal themesas part of an engineering solution4. Students brought a research device for this day, and all students hadaccess to laptops or various smart phone devices. During the in-class activity, the students in theirgroups engaged in their own research on the topic using a variety of web-based sources. As they foundinformation relevant to their theme area, they took notes and then brought that into a groupaccumulation of relevant information. With this data compiled, one representative from each areasummarized salient points to the entire class. A course-wide (n ~ 40) discussion ensued with facilitationfrom the guest instructor. Beyond that day of integration, the course instructor aimed to show theimportance of such topics via three practices. First, the course objective ‘Students will analyzeengineering problems in the context of economics, technology, society, and the environment’ wasadded to the course syllabus along with ten other objectives focused on more traditional technicalcontent. Second, after the activity, a homework assignment was given on material balances and pumpsizing requirements associated with a typical hydraulic fracturing site to directly connect the technicalcourse content to the broader focus of the fracking activity. Lastly, a bonus problem on the final examasked students “If you were a landowner, would you allow hydraulic fracturing (fracking) on your land?Briefly explain your answer.” Select survey results from Fall 2017 are chosen to highlight students’ selfreportedunderstand of and support for fracking (pre-post responses), if the class-format was effectivein their learning, and open ended comments relating to changes in their opinion and the course format.The transferability of this module is discussed, along with ways to translate the concept to othercourses, such as into a heat transfer course via a nuclear power module.

Authors: Marsden Catharine , Liscouet-Hanke Susan , Cartile Andrea 
Published: January 2019

Experiential learning can be defined as“learning from experience or learning by doing”. Theeffectiveness of the experiential learning techniquedepends on both the design and the implementation of the experience. The learning experience must be carefully designed so that students do not learn by rote but rather are obliged to self-teach, discover, and use engineering judgement to arrive at conclusions. Student interest and their perception of the project as being authentic and representative of the “real-world” is important for engagement. In this paper, the authors discuss the development and implementation of experiential and project-based learning in the new undergraduate aerospace engineering program at Concordia University.The paper describes a unique series of experientiallearning experiences that have been implemented in thefirst, third, and final years of the program. Two of theauthors are former aerospace industry design engineers,and a unique feature of the program is a blend of fieldbased experience and classroom-based learning made possible by collaborations with industrial partners and organizations external to the university

Being a C-student is the new normal: a literature review on grades, self-worth, and mental wellbeing
Authors: D'Entremont Agnes 
Published: January 2019

The competitive application process for manyCanadian engineering schools can lead to enrollingcohorts of students where nearly everyone is accustomed to having above average grades. Anecdotally, instructors frequently observe a difficult transition to earning average or below average grades. This may be due to students strongly basing their sense of personal worth on academic performance. Declines or variability in selfworth or self-esteem can impact mental wellbeing.Given the widely reported prevalence of mentalhealth concerns and counselling usage at Canadianuniversities, we chose to explore the connections between receiving lower than expected grades, self-worth and mental wellbeing as well as possible interventions that instructors could employ to help students manage this transition.

Exploring the Conflict Between an Engineering Identity and Leadership
Authors: Schell William J. 
Published: January 2019

Through the efforts of government and industry, there is growing recognition among academics of the importance of developing leadership skills in engineering students. Despite this recognition and the increasing level of resource put into engineering leadership programs throughout North America, there is currently little work that illustrates how leadership fits into the broader picture of the heterogeneous nature of engineering work. This work seeks to begin closing that gap by investigating the relationship between models of engineering identity and leadership identity. The investigation is done using quantitative techniques to draw conclusions from two data sets taken from national surveys of undergraduate students in the U.S.. Initial results indicate that while engineering students are engaged in leadership positions more frequently than their peers inother fields (other STEM and non-STEM) they see less of a connection between these roles and their future careers than other students, indicating a potential conflict between an engineering identity and a leadership identity.
Approaching Sustainable Energy Transitions Through Bringing Disciplines Together: an examination of Carleton University’s graduate cross disciplinary course in sustainable energy
Authors: Moy Nathalin 
Published: January 2019

Complex challenges in sustainable energyrequire innovation: new ways of approaching problemsand new ways of collaborating. Bridging disciplinesthrough teamwork is one way to address issues effectively. Drawing from the experiences of a graduate level crossdisciplinary course involving engineering and public policy at Carleton University, this paper seeks to provide insights on the practical side of bridging disciplines in the classroom. Offered since 2011, this is a core course of Carleton’s Master’s program in Sustainable Energy Engineering and Policy. Working in groups, students envision and develop plans for novel sustainable energy projects. Through our experiences we posit the following three suggestions for successful interdisciplinary teamwork. First, ensuring that students embarking on a course share a similar foundation. Second, lessons from literature regarding team dynamics can be applied to group project work. Thirdly, that group work, challenging at times, may later be found valuable in life beyond the classroom
