This article will discuss the implementation,testing details, experiences gained and future work.1. IntroductionRadio Controlled (RC) cars are a great way for prospective engineers to learn real-world technicalskills. The low cost and shorter turnaround time allow for rapid development and testing and caneffectively teach many of the same principles as real cars. At XYZ University, ABC is anintroductory design course where remote-controlled scale cars were designed, analyzed, built, andtested by groups of students. Each group was

While ample research has studied the structures and professional implications ofcapstone design courses, as well as the complex nature of engineering design activity[1]–[3],little research has been done on investigating academic engineering settings, and how and whystudents engage in engineering design in such settings.Our investigation is informed by the

This collaboration began as a one-time library instruction sessionand blossomed to a 4-part instruction series, including a curriculum re-design and assessment in2021. The engineering librarian visited the engineering faculty’s first-year engineering coursesproviding a series of library instructions, all with scaffolding student learning outcomes, and afinal goal of improving student information literacy skills. These sessions included a scavengerhunt, finding relevant sources, evaluating sources, creating citations, and how to produce anannotated bibliography. The

Making judgments in contexts with competing criteria (e.g., leadership,production, relationships, safety, spending, time) is inherent to the role of an engineer [4].

Whenthese models are utilized to make inferences about people, such as facial recognition, predictivepolicing, and credit score assignment, they would lead to decisions which can have negativeimpacts on communities of color even without the programmer’s intention to discriminate [1]–[3]. This has led to the ban on the use of such technologies in a few US cities.

Many AE graduates areconfronted with these fragmentation problems in real-world construction projects, such as poorcommunication and lack of cooperative consciousness or experience [2]. Compounding this, the problemof fragmentation also exists in the education field that leads to certain consequences and a cyclic educationdeficit problem. Studies from researchers illustrate that most engineering students were taught technicalknowledge via isolated and, thus domain-specific courses with limited to no teaching of integratedapproaches. This limited educational focus causes a lack of knowledge and experience in collaboration forstudents entering the workforce [3]. Moreover, the education model of the AEC

The cohortstructure allows for close relationships to form, combatting the social isolation that historicallymarginalized students may feel in CS classes. Peer mentoring benefits students by offeringfurther academic, social, and professional development support within the program. Project-based learning provides strong ties to students’ major area(s) of study (primarily biology andbiochemistry) and supports students’ future success in fields that are becoming increasingly data-driven.1 Finally, the minor program courses focus

DesignIntroductionDesigning courses and learning activities in engineering is a complex process affected by manydynamic variables: student characteristics, shifting policies, changing technical and professionalknowledge, national and global events, and more. While many frameworks and systems exist tosupport engineering faculty as they (re)design their courses, design thinking has emerged as oneviable framework due to its human-centered, creative, diverse, and adaptive nature [1-5]. Still,studies show that certain mindsets and approaches essential to design thinking may bechallenging for faculty, especially those in engineering [6]. Thus, if engineering educators hopeto leverage design thinking for course design, how might it be accomplished? This study seeks
