Pressures for reform include declining STEM student enrollments, high attrition rates from STEM curricula, and the rise of powerful alternative teaching strategies shown by cognitive science and educational research to promote learning and curricular retention better than traditional teaching methods do. In addition, research has shown that online and face‐to‐face courses on average produce comparable learning outcomes, and hybrid courses that combine the best features of both are more effective than either face‐to‐face or online courses by themselves.Motivated by these and other pressures, many faculty members have adopted the new teaching methods, and distance education had become widespread well before the 2020 coronavirus pandemic forced most educators at all levels to teach online. As might be expected, however, many faculty members and administrators have resisted change, arguing that the traditional approach has always worked well and needs no major revision. Before the pandemic, most STEM courses were still being taught using the traditional methods, and many course instructors are eager to return to them.These different responses to calls for education reform have led to heated debates among university instructors and administrators regarding how STEM curricula and courses should be designed, delivered, and assessed, and the role technology should play in all three functions. This essay outlines two competing paradigms on each of these issues—the traditional paradigm, which has long dominated STEM education, and the emerging paradigm, which has become increasingly common in the last 30 years but is still not predominant at most universities and colleges. The essay concludes with speculation about the eventual outcome of the competition.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE EDUCATION}, author={Felder, Richard M.}, year={2021}, month={Jan}, pages={8–15} } @inproceedings{michel_felder_genzer_fuller_2000, title={Student use of instructional technology in the introductory chemical engineering course}, DOI={10.18260/1-2--28492}, abstractNote={An introductory computer engineering course where students learn about combinational and sequential circuits is fundamental to any Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) curriculum. Many of these courses are taught using a hardware description language (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL. However, younger students traditionally struggle with HDLs due to their abstract nature. The students are used to designing with traditional logic gates and structures, but are often confused by the software-like interface that an HDL provides. This creates a disconnection between the student's experience in the classroom where the students learn with one method (visually with gates and structures) and in labs or projects where they are asked to implement designs using text descriptors. Often times a student's frustration with HDLs leads to them being disinterested in digital systems or even computer engineering as a major. This paper will describe the transition of an introductory Computer Engineering course from primarily using Verilog for its assignments to instead using a combination of schematic capture (which is very similar to what they see in class) and Verilog. With this course's redesign, the author saw the student's self-reported confidence in their design skills improve by 44% (from 41% to 85%) and their interest in taking additional computer engineering courses improve by 10% (from 66% to 76%).}, booktitle={2000 ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings, ASEE, June 2000}, publisher={Washington, D.C.: American Society for Engineering Education}, author={Michel, A. and Felder, R.M. and Genzer, Jan and Fuller, H.}, year={2000} } @book{felder_rousseau_bullard_2016, title={Elementary principles of chemical processes}, ISBN={9780470616291}, publisher={Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons}, author={Felder, R.

Its goals are to improve the participants' teaching effectiveness, promote their engagement in scholarly teaching and educational scholarship, and motivate them to engage in instructional development on their campuses. To evaluate the impact of the NETI on its participants, a Web‐based survey was administered to alumni of NETI offerings from 1993 to 2006.Purpose (Hypothesis)The study was designed to test the hypothesis that the NETI met its stated goals, and to the extent that it did, to identify factors in the workshop's structure and delivery that might have contributed to its success.Design/MethodAn online survey collected information regarding the participants' awareness and use of selected teaching strategies, their students' and their own ratings of their teaching, and their engagement in scholarly teaching, educational research, and giving their own teaching workshops and seminars. The validity of the survey structure is supported by several published studies that compared self‐assessments of teaching with external evaluations by trained observers.ResultsThe NETI has motivated many of its participants to adopt or increase their use of proven teaching strategies known to correlate with improved student learning; made them more student‐centered, scholarly, and reflective in their teaching practice; and induced many of them to engage in instructional development and educational scholarship.ConclusionsThe NETI has satisfactorily met its goals. When interpreted in the light of a theory of adult motivation, the results support the effectiveness of discipline‐specific faculty development for engineering educators.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION}, author={Felder, Richard M. and Brent, Rebecca}, year={2010}, month={Apr}, pages={121–134} } @article{adams_felder_2008, title={Reframing Professional Development: A Systems Approach to Preparing Engineering Educators to Educate Tomorrow's Engineers}, volume={97}, ISSN={["1069-4730"]}, DOI={10.1002/j.2168-9830.2008.tb00975.x}, abstractNote={The articles in this special issue present research on who engineering students are, how they learn, and what they need to know. The challenge to engineering education is that the answers to those issues are different now than they were just a few years ago, and they will inevitably continue to change. Due in part to the rapidly increasing power of technology, routine tasks that were traditionally performed by engineers are now performed by technicians using computers while engineers are called upon to develop innovative products and processes, exercise new and unfamiliar technical and professional skills, and function in an increasingly global environment. What it will mean to be an engineer in the twenty-first century and the incompatibility of current engineering curricula with that meaning have been the subject of many high-level studies. The debate so far has had little impact on engineering educators. In view of the broadening and rapidly shifting scope of the engineering profession, it is imperative to shift the focus of engineering curricula from transmission of content to development of skills that support engineering thinking and professional judgment. Future engineers will need to adapt to rapidly changing work environments and technology, direct their own learning, broaden an understanding of impact, work across different perspectives, and continually revisit what it means to be an engineer. Traditional approaches to engineering education (chalk-and-talk lectures, individual homework, three years of “fundamentals” before an introduction to engineering practice) is incompatible with what we know from decades of cognitive and classroom research. Furthermore, research on student engagement has moved the boundaries of learning environments beyond formal classrooms to informal spaces such as student lounges, professional work spaces, and virtual community spaces. What remains crucial is the importance of social learning as students interact with others—e.g., peers, educators, campus administrators, and internship supervisors. As such, the teaching decisions engineering educators make can impact learning in and out of the classroom. While these challenges may seem formidable, they present considerable opportunity for reframing what it means to be an engineering educator preparing tomorrow’s engineers. Future engineering educators will have access to a variety of exciting new roles for enabling engineering education to dynamically respond to the evolving nature of the engineering profession: ● Educational philosopher and provocateur: Engage in the international dialogue about the content, skills, and values engineering graduates should be equipped with and how these should be addressed. Advocate new perspectives that challenge traditional views and enable innovative curricula, content and pedagogy. ● Educational researcher: Imagine educational and workplace environments as learning laboratories to delve into how, what, and why students are learning, and how engineers use this learning. Design experiments to develop, assess, and disseminate new instructional materials, methods, and learning environments. ● Interdisciplinary educator: Integrate engineering content with content from other STEM disciplines, economics and business, humanities, and the social sciences. Provide opportunities such as interdisciplinary projects for students to learn from peers in other disciplines. ● Teaching leader: Share effective instructional methods and materials with colleagues; help to adapt them for their own classes. Embrace opportunities to be a decision maker and change agent, build networks for making an impact, and have intellectually stimulating discussions with colleagues about good teaching practice. ● Scholarly teacher and reflective practitioner: Read the literature and attend education conferences to keep abreast of new education practices. Imagine links between research findings and teaching practice. Engage in collaborative and systematic reflection about what works and what does not (and why) as an essential part of life long learning and continuous improvement. These habits of mind might even be initiated as part of graduate training. Engineering educators would not be expected to assume all these roles but gravitate to those they feel most comfortable, competent, and passionate; department heads would ensure that each role is filled by one or more faculty members. The idea is to encourage activities that facilitate greater synergy between being an engineer and being an educator. Ideally, all educators would assume a role of scholarly teacher and reflective practitioner.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION}, author={Adams, Robin S. and Felder, Richard M.}, year={2008}, month={Jul}, pages={239–240} } @article{litzinger_lee_wise_felder_2007, title={A psychometric study of the Index of Learning Styles (c)}, volume={96}, ISSN={["2168-9830"]}, DOI={10.1002/j.2168-9830.2007.tb00941.x}, abstractNote={AbstractA study was conducted on the Felder‐Soloman Index of Learning Styles© (ILS) to assess reliability, factor structure, and construct validity as well to determine whether changing its dichotomous response scale to a five‐option response scale would improve reliability and validity.

Of the 6435 student respondents, 4349 (68%) reported working in teams. Relative to the students who only worked individually, the students who worked in teams were significantly more likely to agree that the course had achieved its stated learning objectives (p < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that roughly one-quarter of the variance in belief about whether the objectives were met could be explained by four factors: 1) student satisfaction with the team experience; 2) the presence of instructor guidance related to teamwork; 3) the presence of slackers on teams; and 4) team size. Pearson product-moment correlations revealed statistically significant associations between agreement that the course objectives had been fulfilled and the use of student teams and between satisfaction with teams and the occurrences of instructor guidance on teamwork skills. These and other results suggest that assigning work to student teams can lead to learning benefits and student satisfaction, provided that the instructor pays attention to how the teams and the assignments are set up.}, number={3}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EDUCATION}, author={Oakley, Barbara A. and Hanna, Darrin M. and Kuzmyn, Zenon and Felder, Richard M.}, year={2007}, month={Aug}, pages={266–272} } @article{prince_felder_brent_2007, title={Does faculty research improve undergraduate teaching?

The model was used to fit experimental data for the time-dependent concentrations of solutes that permeate into the cucumbers (glucose and malate) and out of them (lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, and sodium chloride). The rate of lactic acid transport through the stomata was found to be three orders of magnitude greater than that through the epidermis, and the permeabilities of lactic and acetic acids were effectively independent of the brine circulation rate. These results indicate that the rate of permeation of solutes into and out of cucumbers was controlled by mass transfer through the stomata, with neither film diffusion nor epidermal diffusion having a significant effect. The model differential equation for solute transfer combined with a set of rate equations for microbial growth will provide a good basis to establish a complete mechanistic model for the cucumber fermentation process.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD ENGINEERING}, author={Passos, FV and Felder, RM and Fleming, HP and McFeeters, RF and Ollis, DF}, year={2005}, month={Jun}, pages={297–302} } @book{felder._2005, title={Elementary principles of chemical processes}, publisher={Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.}, author={Felder., Richard M.}, year={2005} } @misc{felder_brent_2005, title={Understanding student differences}, volume={94}, ISSN={["2168-9830"]}, DOI={10.1002/j.2168-9830.2005.tb00829.x}, abstractNote={Students have different levels of motivation, different attitudes about teaching and learning, and different responses to specific classroom environments and instructional practices.

The conclusion is that the MBTI is a useful tool for helping engineering instructors and advisors to understand their students and to design instruction that can benefit all of them.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Engineering Education}, author={Felder, R.

Team members confidentially rated how well they and each of their teammates fulfilled their responsibilities, the ratings were converted to individual weighting factors, and individual project grades were computed as the product of the team project grade and the weighting factor. Correlations were computed between ratings and grades, self‐ratings and ratings from teammates, and ratings received and given by men and women and by ethnic minorities and non‐minorities. Incidences of “hitchhikers” (students whose performance was considered less than satisfactory by their teammates), “tutors” (students who received top ratings from all of their teammates), dysfunctional teams, and teams agreeing on a common rating were also determined.

Little is known, however, about the interactional dynamics among students in engineering work groups. To explore these dynamics and their implications for engineering education, we analyzed work sessions of student groups in a sophomore‐level chemical engineering course at North Carolina State University. Using conversation analysis as a methodology for understanding how students taught and learned from one another, we found that group members generally engaged in two types of teaching‐learning interactions. In the first type, transfer‐of‐knowledge (TK) sequences, they took on distinct teacher and pupil roles, and in the second, collaborative sequences (CS), they worked together with no clear role differentiation. The interactional problems that occurred during the work sessions were associated primarily with TK sequences, and had to do with students who either habitually assumed the pupil's role (constant pupils) or habitually discouraged others' contributions (blockers). Our findings suggest that professors can facilitate student group interactions by introducing students to the two modes of teaching interaction so group members can effectively manage exchanges of knowledge, and also by helping students distribute tasks in a way that minimizes role imbalances.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Engineering Education}, author={Haller, C.

The growth medium for the studies was cucumber juice. Effects of concentrations of lactic, acetic, and hydrochloric acids and sodium chloride on growth at 30°C were determined in batch culture. Effect of substrate concentration on the specific growth rate was also defined. The specific growth rate decreased from 0.355 h −1 at pH 6.0 to 0.189 h −1 at pH 3.2. The undissociated form of lactic acid was more inhibitory than that of acetic acid. A predictive equation for specific growth rate was developed for predicting growth of S. rosei in batch culture. The molar yield of ethanol was 1.75 (±0.07) mM ethanol per mM hexose. Malate was not utilized, and glycerol was produced. The apparent biomass yield under anaerobic condition was 12.2 (±1.3) g cells/mol hexose. Aerobically, the biomass yield was 30.7 g cells/mol hexose. Similar specific growth rates were observed anaerobically (0.358 h −1 ) and aerobically (0.352 h −1 ).
