For that reason, the remainder of this paper discusses three key considerations thatwent into choosing and developing this project that can be utilized by other similar departments.The first part of this paper provides a brief background to the history of academic advising andhow it has changed over the last two hundred years. This background concludes with researchdetailing the shift from the faculty advising model to the professional advising model and the needto facilitate communication between these two department stakeholders.

Assessment of the variables is ongoing,but initial results indicate that students choose Westmont engineering for a wide variety ofreasons. This includes significant value placed in Westmont’s overall academic quality andWestmont’s liberal arts foundation. Student value in the Design Innovation aspect of theprogram has grown as the program has matured. Current students indicate that their experiencein the engineering program is positive. Their positive experience is based significantly on smallclass size, engaged faculty, and aspects of Design Innovation such as group design projects,hands-on learning experiences and focus on innovation.

At this midpoint, a third-party evaluator conducted anobservation of a class session and reported their assessment with regard to the use of activelearning pedagogies and praxis [2], [8] during synchronous class time. Studentassignment/project performance data was also documented throughout the semester.

the larger study is a sequential explanatory mixed methods case study (quan→QUAL→quan) [22], [23], this manuscript focuses on the qualitative data and analysis. A case study researchapproach consists of studying one or more bounded systems, or cases, over time [24]. Using a casestudy approach allowed us to bound our analysis by the context of the REU summer internshipprogram where our participants conducted their research projects. This case study approach alignswith our conceptual framework, as it allowed us to situate participants' experiences and perceptionsin their university context. The interview questionnaire (see appendix) was piloted with a smallergroup of earlier REU participants in a similar program, and draws on broadening

Models are fundamental to engineering, butmany engineering students cannot identify more models than prototypes [12-13]. There are well-researched modeling interventions to help students learn about different models, such as model-eliciting activities (MEAs) that help students learn how to develop mathematical models [14].Some interventions like MEAs require too much effort to implement and assess for others

design problem has beenconsidered as one of the important goals in engineering education [4]. One way this has beenstudied in the literature is through understanding student perceptions of creativity [5], [6], [7],[8]. Tolbert and Daly [8] found that how faculty encourage creative problem solving inengineering classes (in words and actions) impacts student creativity. They also found thatstudents’ domain knowledge, team-related challenges, and project constraints such as timeinfluence creative problem solving. In another study on student perceptions on creative problemsolving, Kazerounian and Foley [7], found that engineering students believed their professors donot place enough value on creativity.
