a moreindependent, industry-like environment than a traditional classroom style.Project Location The project took place at MSU’s new Software Factory2. MSU’s Software Factory ismodeled after University of Helsinki’s laboratory of the same name3, and aims to collaborate anddeliver products to industry partners1. In turn, this creates a platform for students to experiencesoftware development in an authentic industry environment with real-world projects, problems,and deadlines. Previously, the Software Factory had only hosted teams of senior university levelstudents as an interdisciplinary capstone course. The physical environment of the SoftwareFactory made it an obvious choice to provide the students with a pleasant and

Paper ID #16824Incorporating Engineering Programs for Secondary Schools in Trinidad andTobago (Work in Progress)Miss Tasha Tiffany Tardieu, University of Michigan Recent graduate of the University of Michigan, studied Civil Engineering with an International Studies Minor for Engineers. As a student in the College of Engineering’s Honors Program, I investigated the incorporation of co-curricular engineering programs at the upper secondary school level in Trinidad and Tobago for my capstone project. This project will be continued beyond my undergraduate career.Dr. Shanna R. Daly, University of Michigan Shanna Daly is an

Following asuccessful Capstone Project model, the students concluded the camp by completing theengineering design process to solve a problem that they defined as socially relevant.

realizing their design through 3D printing. In this module, a historic background about 3D printers is first introduced, and then the impact of 3D printers on third industrial revolution is discussed. Students will be able to immediately hold, evaluate, test and use their designs as well as share it with each other and the world. 3. Capstone Design Project The main goal of the third module is to design an assistive technology mechanical object to help people with special needs. Each group of students deliver well-defined 3D solid models, fully functional assistive technology device, formal design report, and formal design presentation.Survey Findings & AnalysisThis paper was written at the

practices, they need opportunities to developownership of these practices by coming up with their own ways to solve problems, posing theirown questions, and developing their own conclusions [22]. In engineering, in particular, theyneed opportunities to have ownership over the design problem; although posed by a customer orclient, design problems are framed by the designer [23], leading to a sense of agency [24] andownership [25].Interest can drive a sense of ownership over learning [26], which in turn can foster a mastery-oriented stance on learning [27] and help students make decisions about their futures [28]. Oneapproach to support ownership development is through the use of project-based instruction [29];creating artifacts that reflect learning

engineering design projects26. The rubric iscurrently used as the end-of-course assessment for the capstone Engineering Design andDevelopment (EDD) course from Project Lead the Way27. Additional details about the history ofthe original EDPPSR instrument are provided by Goldberg28.The EDPPSR was revised in order to obtain an instrument that is aligned with the AMP-IT-UPhigh school curriculum and is appropriate for describing student achievement at the high schoollevel. Whereas the original EDPPSR included 14 individual scoring elements, the rubric for theEDP log includes eight elements that correspond to the stages of the design process used in thecourse: A) Identify the Problem; B) Understand; C) Ideate; D) Evaluate; E) Prototype and Test; F
