longterm benefits of the design solution to the client and end users. These descriptions, justificationsand evidence are gained through thinking, in a reflective manner, about the ramifications of whatthe students are designing to solve the problem(s) presented by the project client.Research MethodologyA weekly reflective journal assignment was given to approximately 50 students during each ofour fall and spring semesters, using a template containing sixteen rows and three columns. Eachrow corresponded to a specific week in the semester. The columns contained responses to thesequestions: What did you learn? Why is it important? Where else could you use it? During eachweek, students identified a specific skill, concept or insight that they learned

engineering curriculum is not new. Many engineeringprograms meet EAC of ABET General Criterion 5 requirements through the use of project-basedsenior design course(s). Project-based design courses have been shown to have positive impacton professional skills post-graduation3. However, such courses occur at the end of thecurriculum and the ability to study the impact on the curriculum as a whole is not possible.Oregon State University demonstrated the use and benefits of a robotics project-based courseearly in an electrical engineering curriculum4,5 with the TekBot platform. Since that time otherengineering programs have implemented and studied the impact of project-based roboticscourses early in the curriculum. As an example, the United States Naval
solutions can vary drasticallybased on the perceived size of the solution space of the problem as a whole.AcknowledgementsThis research was supported by the National Science Foundation, Research in EngineeringEducation (REE) Grants #1264715, #1265018, and #1264551.References1.

Engineering Education, 2015 Development and Implementation of a Pathway Assessment Model for the ASPIRE ProgramAbstractThe University of New Haven received S-STEM funding for A Scholarship Program to IncreaseRetention in Engineering (ASPIRE): Improving Work-Study-Life Balance. The goal of the 5 yearprogram is to improve retention, particularly in the sophomore and junior years, for engineeringstudents who show academic potential but are at risk of not completing their studies due tofinancial concerns and/or life-work-study balance issues. The ASPIRE program aims toaccomplish this by: providing scholarships for sophomore and junior level matriculated studentsbased on both financial need and merit; recruiting and
, and multivariable control. Dr. Rodriguez has given over 70 invited presentations - 13 plenary - at international and national forums, conferences and corporations. Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles

The LES-EB reviewed a number of existing OEC casematerials; key measures concerning content—including the content “area(s)” portrayed in eachcase and whether the case raised “ethics and society” (macroethical) issues—reinforced the needto develop additional materials. Regarding content areas, the review showed that the existingcollection only has substantial sets of resources for “genetics and genomics” and “biomedicalsciences.” Only these fields had more than 15 resources when reviewers assigned cases tosubfields within the life and environmental sciences using a modified version of the taxonomy oflife science graduate

It is anticipated that the deeper understanding of the materials gained bybeing a UTA will entice them to take more rigorous courses as they matriculate. It is possiblethat the teaching experience may influence them to pursue an academic career at either theprimary, secondary or collegiate levels.4.
