Basic Paper Descriptions
- Purpose of the paper
-
Great Ideas for Teaching Students are class-tested activities, assignments, projects, games, simulations, or assessment techniques that address a specific communication theory, concept, skill, or learning objective. We encourage submissions from across the engineering discipline that reflect creative pedagogical ideas about teaching first year students in traditional classroom settings, teaching outside of the classroom (e.g., in cross-curricular initiatives, consulting venues, community engagement initiatives, and engaged scholarship projects), or teaching first year students within non-traditional academic environments.
-
We are especially interested in G.I.F.T.S. that are play-oriented. We are seeking innovative uses of play, games and fun; especially those involving physical movement, application-based pedagogies, student interaction, video gaming, etc. Hybrid, flipped, blended and online course environment pedagogies are all welcome here.
-
Papers could share information about how a faculty member or group of faculty members are developing and/or implementing new practices explicitly based on research on engineering education and/or education. The paper should demonstrate transfer from research to practice. The work does not have to be completed but should be at a phase where meaningful information can be presented.
