This paper illustrates the spaces, tribes and experiences within the Maker community. Using a theoretical framework of learning ecology and communities of practice, we illustrate and provide the context of Making, Maker Faires and Mini-Maker Faires, and Makers' experiences. We contribute a proposed taxonomy by which makerspaces can be categorized. We begin to compare Makers in our Southwest region...
Engineering for Humanity, an interdisciplinary engineering design and anthropology course at Olin College of Engineering, is a semester-long service-learning partnership between the college and nearby Councils on Aging. This paper examines the effects of this service learning on our students and their partners. Our research suggests that this experience has positively impacted students' and elder...
Community engagement is a pedagogy that integrates engagement with a community, local or global, with academic content. In engineering and computer science the engagement is often the design, delivery and support of projects for NGO's, human service agencies, educational institutions and governmental agencies. Community engagement has been supported in the literature for enhancing learning and motivation...
This paper presents an exploratory case study of the interest and participation in teaching, teaching related activities, and research on education among students and alumni at Celadon College, a small engineering school focused on education reform. Prompted by a lack of qualified STEM educators in the United States, this study investigates how to increase interest in education as a career path among...
Engineering students in a project-based curriculum are expected to learn and apply the engineering design process to their course embedded projects. Practice of embedded skills typically occurs through embarking on a new project context provided by an instructor. It is a rare occurrence for students to participate in experiences that break-up the process into smaller chunks providing low-pressure...
In the process of designing engineered systems, it is not uncommon for engineers to underestimate or altogether ignore the societal and cultural context of the problem. This is particularly true when designs are developed to solve world problems; a lack of societal consideration leads to implementation failures when engineers from developed countries attempt to design solutions "for" people...
First-year problem-solving and computer programming courses are gateway courses with low passing rates, resulting in student attrition and transfers out of computer science degrees. Our urban institution serves mostly underrepresented minority students, typically an at-risk population given their minimal previous programming experience and weak mathematical background. We offer a computer problem-solving...
Success in doctoral education has been studied from many theoretical and practical perspectives, but very few studies focus specifically on student motivation. In practice, graduate schools usually try to evaluate applicants' motivation in the admission process, assuming they are able to identify the initial motivation that would predict a successful doctoral path. The aim of this study is to bring...
Part of a large-scale study on Hispanic engineering students at a university on the U.S./Mexico border, this paper focuses on participants' reported use of language in learning activities in engineering. Specifically, we call attention to the meaning-making resources that engineering undergraduates brought to learning activities. Semiotic (or meaning-making) resources include oral and written language...
The primary goal of engineering education is to prepare students to work as productive engineers in society. This preparation traditionally focuses on developing students' discipline related technical and analytical knowledge, skills, and abilities. However, recent initiatives to develop a more holistic engineer have shed light on an aspect of engineering education that is largely lacking — the development...
Major scientific and industrial issues related to social networks have led many researchers to focus on the long-standing problem of automatic communities extraction. The vast majority of the proposed methods tend to make a partition of the entities from the initial graph of observed relationships. The semantics of these relationships is rarely considered. The lack of information about the elements...
Constant changes in technology pose continuous challenges for higher education institutions that are training the engineers of the future. These changes are making it necessary to adapt the curriculum in order to develop the skills needed by the XXI century engineer. Moreover, instead of thinking in a large curriculum reform at a specific moment, it is necessary to define curriculum management processes...
We have been studying log contexts using large-scale house log collected in home network system (HNS). A log context is defined with both the current and past situations of a house, where the current situation is characterized by the current status of an appliance (or a sensor), while the past situations are derived from the house log. In this paper, we propose context-aware services for smart TVs...
In spite of several efforts in the last decade by researchers and educators, expected potential from the use of mobile device technology (MDT) to effect learning transformation is largely unfulfilled. Quantifying benefits of MDTs in learning, either through achievement of learning objectives or enhancement of the process, remains problematic. Rapid changes in development and manufacture also continue...
Developers use bug tracking systems to manage the defects that arise during software development. Those systems allow the users to submit reports that describe the failure and the possible causes that led to the error. Bug trackers have evolved and adapted their interfaces to guide the user through the submission of relevant information. However, despite the refinement of the interfaces and improvements,...
Military intelligence analysis (IA) support tools are often developed using generalized models of IA that fail to take into consideration the real-world constraints put on analysts by factors such as organizational structures and cultures. IA in domains where distributed collaboration is required because direct communication and coordination is infeasible represents a challenge for generalized models...
The search for possible applications in the field of Education, by means of domain specific ontologies on the issues of assessment of learning (assessment) and system (evaluation), has been implemented through the construction, testing and evolution of an integrated learning environment called EduOntoWiki. It is supported by ontological structures related to science education based on active consent...
This paper reports the results of the DiGiCult methodology for the generation of tourist's suggestions and cultural destinations basing on users' opinions in a community. Provided that any travel experience usually recalls other travelers experiences, this implies that the individual who is about to visit a desired destination might be more susceptible to suggestions given by a user he trusts, or...
Advances in computer and communication technologies have accelerated e-commerce. One yet-to-be-explored area of e-commerce involves social commerce. Social commerce can extend the e-commerce experience through extensive use of technology. The author provides a view model of social commerce in order to provide a base point for exploring the next generation of e-commerce. The proposed model provides...
This paper presents a highly parallel solution for cross-document co reference resolution, which can deal with billions of documents that exist in the current web. At the core of our solution lies a novel algorithm for community detection in large scale graphs. We operate on graphs which we construct by representing documents' keywords as nodes and the colocation of those keywords in a document as...
