Instructional Design And Evaluation Of A Virtual Laboratory In Nanoelectronics Processing

Abstract

has a research focus on engineering education, with a special interest in applying qualitative research to assess learning in the engineering classroom. In addition, she has developed curriculum built on active learning for nanoelectronics at the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as for K12 level. She obtained experience in the semiconductor industry while working at Intel and LSI Logic. Edith Gummer, Northwest Regional Educational LaboratoryEdith Gummer is the Director of the Classroom-Focused Research and Evaluation Program for the Center for Classroom Teaching and Learning at the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory. She coordinated the structure of the research design and the data collection and analysis processes of the project. She has been faculty in science and mathematics education quantitative and qualitative research design courses at the doctoral level. She has been involved in the development of innovative mathematics curricular activities and formative assessment in mathematics problem solving.

Episodes as a Discourse Analysis Framework to Examine Feedback in an Industrially Situated Virtual Laboratory Project

“…The VCVD laboratory was developed to afford students the opportunity to: 24 (1) Promote development of schematic and strategic knowledge 25 in a way that applies core concepts from the curriculum. (2) Engage students in an iterative experimental design approach that is reflective of the approach used by practicing engineers.…”
