In 2009, the Province of Ontario mandated UniversityUndergraduate Degree Level Expectations (UUDLEs). The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) began reviewing and assessing progress towards twelve graduate attributes in 2010. UUDLEs and Graduate Attributes are both a learning outcomes perspective on education. Unfortunately, the vocabulary of these two learning outcome requirements is not identical. This presentation will take a look at the intersection and the differences between the two requirements. Recognizing and understanding the differences is essential for Ontario engineering schools to maximize the educational benefits associated with these two new requirements.

The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto has been working through the development of a continuous curriculum improvement process for the past two years. The main group working on this is the Graduate Attributes Committee (GAC) which is made up of faculty representatives from each department. In this paper and presentation we will describe the process we have developed. In addition, we will show examples of the materials that the GAC has produced. Of particular interest are the extensive rubrics that have been developed that can be used as a starting point for professors tasked with assessing the learning outcomes identified for the Graduate Attributes. Faculty have begun to customize these generic rubrics for particular assignments, and examples will be shown of this work. The development process has resulted in reflection and discussion on our curriculum. The development process has also led to reflection on the difficulties involved in assessing the Graduate Attributes and compiling the data we collect. These issues will be explored briefly in the paper.

This paper focuses on assessing the immediate program graduate attributes and learning outcomes for the teacher preparation towards global competence initiatives. It describes the students' retrospection, which will serve as a basis for the program's strategic enhancement. This study employed a descriptive survey of 75 teacher candidates in the Philippines. Findings revealed that the top five highest program graduate attributes are lifelong learner, responsive teacher, ethical educator, subject matter expert, and multi-literate educator. Simultaneously, the bottom five are effective communicator, value-laden educator, instructional material developer, classroom manager, assessor and evaluator, and curriculum planner and implementer. Grade in experiential learning courses spelled the difference in the acquisition of graduate attributes. Implying that students with high academic performance perceived themselves to have a high level of acquisition of the Immediate Graduate Attributes (IGA). Retrospection of the respondents showed excellent satisfaction with the research and extension services, educational counseling program, and the instructors and professors' qualities while family and relatives were influential in choosing teaching as career preparation. Finally, parents' satisfaction and geographic locations are important factors that affect the teacher education program enrollment. This study will serve as reference in designing teacher education initiatives towards internationalization.

Improving Student Learning

The learning process is less effective, the teaching teacher does not use methods that can increase students' curiosity in exploring knowledge, so that the teacher seems to be watching. This can affect student learning outcomes that do not achieve the desired results, especially in learning Geography of the material for the distribution of flora and fauna. This study aims to find out and obtain information from the field on matters relating to improving student learning outcomes on the material Geography of the Distribution of Flora and Fauna through the use of the Picture To Picture model in class XI-SOS 3 students of SMA Negeri 106 East Jakarta. Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted by collaborating researchers and teachers through 2 cycles. Where each cycle is carried out 2 meetings. Each cycle consists of four activities, namely planning, implementing actions, observing and evaluating, and reflecting. Geography learning outcomes of students can be improved by applying the Picture To Picture method. This can be seen from the value of the results of individual questions in cycles I and II. From the results before the first cycle experienced an increase, also in the second cycle there was an increase. After there was action and reflection on the implementation of cycles I and II using the picture to picture method, there was a very significant change in a very good direction. ABSTRAKProses pembelajaran yang kurang efektif, guru mengajar tidak menggunakan metode yang bisa meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu siswa dalam menggali ilmu, sehingga terkesan guru tersebut menoton. Hal demikian dapat mempengaruhi hasil belajar siswa tidak mencapai hasil yang diinginkan, khususnya dalam pembelajaran Geografi materi Persebaran Flora dan Fauna. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memperoleh informasi dari lapangan tentang hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan peningkatan hasil belajar siswa terhadap Geografi materi Persebaran Flora dan Fauna melalui penggunaan model Picture To Picture pada siswa kelas XI-SOS 3 SMA Negeri 106 Jakarta Timur. Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilakukan oleh peneliti dan guru kolaborator melalui 2 siklus. Dimana setiap siklus dilaksanakan 2 kali pertemuan. Setiap siklus terdiri dari empat kegiatan yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi dan evalusi, serta refleksi. Hasil belajar Geografi siwa dapat ditingkatkan dengan penerapan metode Picture To Picture. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari nilai hasil soal individu pada siklus I dan II . Dari hasil sebelum siklus I mengalami peningkatan, juga pada siklus II mengalami peningkatan.Setelah ada tindakan dan refleksi pada pelaksanaan siklus I dan II dengan menggunakan metode picture to picture maka ada perubahan yang sangat berarti ke arah yang sangat baik.

Leeds Beckett University is embarking on a new cycle of Periodic Review after our wholesale curriculum review in 2012. Reviewing our current academic activity in relation to our curricular practice showed that work still needed to be done in several key areas. For example, improving the writing of levelled intended learning outcomes (ILOs), integrating our graduate attributes (GAs) – Enterprise, Having a Global Outlook and Digital Literacy – more fully into course and module outcomes and ensuring staff understand the nature and scope of the different assessment domains which enhance opportunities for full student learning from our programmes. To address these issues, a short life working group (SLWG) focused on modernising our existing taxonomy of assessment domains (Link 1) which had been well-used by our staff for at least 20 years. This paper focuses on i) consideration of the benefits of the existing taxonomy ii) the broader context and reasons for modifying our existing taxonomy of assessment domains, iii) the approach, process and activity of the SLWG, iv) planned future work streams to build on our work in progress.

Social Components

Recent educational research in engineeringhas examined the challenges Canadian universities arefacing when implementing graduate attributes, especiallythose attributes that involve significant social components(such as ethics and equity, impact of technology onsociety, and communication skills). In response to thesechallenges, this paper asks: how might experientialeducation be used as an approach to teach non-technicalgraduate attributes? Having asked this question at ourown institution, we are in the process of implementingexperienced-based approaches to engineering education.We describe our efforts in curricular and non-curricularspaces which include adding project-based components toour existing courses on technology and society andcommunication, designing a new experiential course oncreativity and innovation, serving as clients for capstonecourses, facilitating reflection for our co-op program,developing a workshop on community engagement, andorganizing design competitions in our innovation centre.We analyze the challenges and the benefits of theseapproaches. Our argument is that experience alone maynot lead to planned learning outcomes, so finding creativeways to promote reflection on experience becomescritical. In our programs, this has meant: playing the roleof both client and facilitator in projects; partnering withfaculty members in other disciplines; and having studentsdirectly interact with users from very differentbackgrounds. Through these approaches, we are findingways to help students visualize the lived context oftechnology use in communities, and ways to help themunderstand the non-technical components of design andco-op work that are essential if we want to create just andsustainable outcomes though technology. The implicationof this preliminary reflexive account is that experientialeducation holds much promise for improving instructionrelated to non-technical graduate attributes.

Capstone Design

Since 2013, the fourth-year capstone design courses for the electrical and computer engineering programs at UBC are working only with projects defined by industrial partners. These capstone courses run over two terms (September to April) and are worth 10 credits. The projects involves teams of five students, which follow a common timeline, produce a common set of deliverables, and have a common evaluation scheme –with some latitude for variation based on the nature of the project and the type of partner. A key objective is to include non-technical graduate attributes, the so-called “soft skills”, in our learning outcomes. In this paper, we describe our current course framework, our constraints and design choices, and we report lessons learned and improvements implemented over 6 years.
