ED290C		Spring 1997 2-3 units Education 290C-2 COGNITION AND DEVELOPMENT: Education Issues and Problem Solving in Engineering Education Prof. Alice Agogino, agogino@bits.ME.Berkeley.EDU Day Time Units UCB Location M 3:00-4:00 pm 3 Unit Class Synthesis Semimar Room 3112 Etcheverry Hall W 1:30-3:00 pm 2-3 Unit Class Synthesis Semimar Room 3112 Etcheverry Hall W 3:00-5:00 pm 2-3 Unit Class Mac Lab 3116 Etcheverry Hall This course explores contemporary research in engineering education and cognitive issues in engineering curricular development, teaching, and assessment. This course is motivated by several current reforms: (1) National efforts to better train and educate engineers for the engineering workplace in the 21st Century : to better prepare engineers to face multidisciplinary problems and product design in competitive industries and improve their skills in teamwork and communication. (2) Efforts to improve how engineers build robust understanding, design, and problem solving skills and how to improve the integration and application of their knowledge of math, science, physics and chemistry, to complex engineering problems and analyses. (3) Advances in instructional technology motivate the need to understand the role and impact of instructional technology on engineering instruction.
