engineeringcourses and personal examples from the classroom are given.IntroductionEngaging students within the context of lecture-based courses is a key challenge for engineeringfaculty. One of the principles for good practice in undergraduate education is for instructors toencourage active learning.1 Active learning at its core is engaging students into activeparticipation (e.g., discussing, questioning, sharing, doing) rather than passive participation (e.g.,listening).2 Lectures traditionally promote only passive participation and suffer because attentionspans are finite.3 The instructor can, however, incorporate active learning activities into thelecture though few instructors within engineering choose to do so. One unheard voice is that ofteaching

stated by McCracken et al., the average studentperformance witnessed in their study was even lower than they expected.1 This issue is Page 24.455.2exacerbated within the context of the Engineering Models courses due to the additional subjectmatter intended to provide context within engineering, mathematics, and the sciences included inthe course. In addition, the Engineering Models I and II courses are predominately taken byfirst-year students so they are also dealing with the sudden change in school environment.Therefore, methods need to be developed to help students develop an understanding ofcomputing concepts to allow them to focus on the

exceeds the Global, K-12, Retired and Life membershiptypes within ASEE; a significant change from 2011 when the membership had surpassed onlythe Life membership type.1 Students comprise between 1% (Engineering Technology) and 22%(Engineering Leadership Development Constituent Committee) of the division memberships,which is substantially less than the 83% student representation within the SD in June 2013. Themajority (88%) of divisions have less than 11% student members. These statistics could beattributed to a number of factors, including interest and a lack of student-specific programmingby each of the ASEE divisions.The population of ASEE student members represents an obvious group of potential futureprofessional members of ASEE. It is critical

search process, and what types of positions are they obtaining?BackgroundAround 2005-2006, the field of engineering education expanded with two major events. First,the Journal of Engineering Education officially moved to a research focused journal(5, 6) andPurdue University granted its first Ph.D. in engineering education.1 Before that time, researchersentered engineering education through a variety of pathways2, which directly contributed to the Page 24.496.2ever expanding and interdisciplinary nature of engineering education.

knowledge domainsremains a challenging task from both knowledge development and systems engineering processmodeling perspectives. However, the longitudinal examination (as well as my ongoingintrospection) regarding “Simulating Kelly” as an engineering process has helped to provide bothpersonal benefits and research outcomes. In addition, it is hoped that the student’s experienceprovides useful insights regarding the valuable role of research apprenticeships forundergraduate engineering students, regardless of their future industry, graduate education, orengineering domain career development plans.

rigorous empirical knowledge base to support the transformation ofengineering education practice. For example, in the opening plenary at the 2011 AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference, presenters focused onaccelerating the use of research in practice. 1 This investment has accelerated the need to askquestions such as the following: What are the implications for action of our research? Whatgeneral ideas does our community have about how research can promote action? and What canbe done to accelerate the rate at which research is used to transform engineering education? Suchquestions are part of the phenomenon known as translational work, or the work of connectingresearch to action. While such work has always been
