Fundamentals of episodic memory, empathy, andcollaboration were components of the students’ experience and the core part of a final interactiveexhibit visited by more than one hundred people. Results demonstrate broad applicability: 1)fostering communication among engineering and design students with their teams and theirusers, and 2) introducing a generative storytelling approach in an interaction design class.Introduction and BackgroundToday, the need for storytelling1 is perhaps one of the most vibrant, yet misunderstood andunderappreciated qualities of any business.

Acase study of two teams at a public university in the central U. S. was performed, with theobjective of exploring leadership development at the individual and team levels. Implicit in theconcept of team leadership development is the development of individuals as leaders. This paperdiscusses the behaviors and characteristics that students

freshman tojunior year of our B.S. Bioengineering curriculum.Introduction to the Engineering ProfessionEGS1006L - Introduction to the Engineering Profession is a 1 credit hour freshman level coursethat is the gateway to all subsequent FGCU engineering courses. The course is designed tointroduce the engineering approach to problem solving and the engineering design process,utilizing team-based learning. This is accomplished through an over-arching semester-longresearch project focused on discipline-specific engineering innovations. “Mini projects” are usedin this class to encourage student discovery of new technologies or innovations within their fieldof study as a means of helping them select an appropriate topic for their research project

The theoretical perspective of the study is based on socialconstructionism, a blend of social constructivism and constructionism. This perspective, a subsetof interpretivism, best embodies the learning theory of the course under investigation.The study was guided by the following research questions: In a high school engineering classroom wherein project-based learning served as the educational model . . . 1) By which means did students achieve success? 2) What obstacles

Weconclude with a discussion motivating social justice as a value that all engineers can adopt.IntroductionSocial justice is an aspirational value conceptualized in contrast to injustice, and is best definedby those most closely experiencing that injustice. 1 Notions of social justice vary by time and byaffected population. Studying previous social justice movements can provide some examples ofkey principles such as ending systems of oppression like racism, colonialism, classism, ableism,sexism, heterosexism, gender normativities, xenophobia, ageism, and others; resisting thesystematic silencing or discrediting of local knowledges and scientific counter-knowledges thatchallenge dominant ways of thinking, knowing and doing

Diversifying the field of engineering is an on-going challenge. Supporting and advancingunderrepresented students requires developing and refining targeted outreach, recruitment,support, and academic services for all students. To ensure inclusivity in diversity outreachefforts, we must ask ourselves, “Is higher education serving the higher good?” and “Who are wemissing – who is still underserved by our policies and programs?” A report, sponsored by theJack Kent Cooke Foundation, identified students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds as avulnerable group with significantly lower rates of degree completion in higher education.1 Ourqualitative research was motivated by the belief that attention to students’ income standpoint iscritical to ensuring

Later, more generally: a personwho offers support and guidance to another; an experienced and trusted counsellor or friend; apatron, a sponsor”1. In their survey of members of one chapter of the Medical LibraryAssociation, Kwasik et al (2006) found that 71% of respondents to a survey about mentoringanswered yes to the question “do you consider having a mentor or mentors a critical part of yourprofessional experience?”2.

This technology can allow such practitioners to create keyblanks or replicas from key data such as physical key measurements or photographic evidence.IntroductionPreset, mechanical locks are generally vulnerable to a variety of attacks, but due to theenormity of designs and technologies in the world today, each lock typically requires a differenttechnique to exploit or bypass.
