So, communication is critical in all areas of engineering.”  “When engineers need to communicate the results of our analysis, writing is critical.”Unfortunately, this conceptualization often fails to take the next step toward a broaderunderstanding of writing. In fact, only one respondent indicated a view of writing as valuable toengineers as a part of process of problem solving: “In the formulation of engineering problems andtheir proposed solutions, including the reasoning process that was applied in developing the bestsolution” and one other indicated writing as part of “assessment and interpretation of resultsobtained.”This gap parallels some of the components of the definition of meaningful

In future research directions, we will assess how engineeringprograms can consider all of these different ways of thinking about the future to create aninclusive and supportive environment for all types of student motivations.Further, this research has also prompted a discussion for how we are considering the students inour policy decisions. It is important to consider how the flexibility of engineering curricula or thecourse load for those crucial middle years for engineering students impact students’ motivations.By allowing for some flexibility in engineering curricula, we would be providing a safeopportunity for students to find the career path that is the

Inparticular, the instructor will seek to assess how team members with strong quadrant C andquadrant D preferences fared on their teams. Typically, in very quadrant A-dominant engineeringteams, individuals with strong quadrant C and D thinking preferences may be treated as outsiderswho do not receive much respect and consideration for their ideas.One of the most exciting results of this capstone design course was with a company who had 15of their employees take the HBDI

Students are used tohomework and quizzes; they do not learn the same things from projects; and often do not feelthat projects prepared them “for the exam”. The most frustrating comments come from thosewho “LEARNED THE MOST FROM THE PROJECTS”, while complaining that the projectstook to much time, hurt their grades as they could not spend their time in other course activities.In short, our goals of student learning don’t match well with their goal of maximizing grades.Part of the student discomfort can be addressed by explicitly telling them that the projects aregeared towards developing and assessing a different set of skills than

could be very informative.• Gibb31 states that most business-school based entrepreneurship education adversely impacts the entrepreneurial spirit. Perhaps, it is because in these settings, the emphasis is on analysis of large amounts of information, largely in the classroom with information from experts, and with evaluation by written assessments. In contrast, the entrepreneur with limited resources mostly operates with a gut feeling, recognizing the hidden agendas of others’ goals, and making decisions on the basis of trust and competence of those involved23. Thus, Gibb31 suggests (1) developing an independence from external sources of information and expert advice, and (2) use of feelings, attitudes and values outside

Two of the respondents thought that the program should move into the area ofrotorcraft. This is a possibility which will warrant further consideration. However, rotorcraftanalysis and design is a topic that would fall under the aeronautics
