What evidence is required to document a successful innovation?Engaging the Community – Our ProcessesA major emphasis of this project has been to engage audiences of the engineering educationcommunity (e.g., engineering education researchers, early adopters of engineering educationinnovations, engineering administrators who will promote propagation). During year one of theeffort, we engaged the community via three primary processes. The first two processes involveda Delphi study with subject matter experts (SMEs) from across the engineering educationresearch and administrative spectrum. The purpose of the Delphi study (conducted during thewinter and spring of 2015) was to identify the most critical unresolved issues facing engineeringeducation

They are also able to consider the tradeoffs betweenmultiple design solutions.6,9 Further, expert designers identify and consider the relevancy of a topic insolving complex design problems.6 Conversely, novice engineering designers aren’t always aware of theinformation they lack to adequately solve the design problem.6In engineering education, Atman et al has conducted research to examine the design processes utilizedby student engineers.10-12 This research has shown that the engineering

traditional, summative score-based grade book.    Standards-based grading (SBG) is an alternative grading system that has shown potential toprovide a more sound assessment of student learning. Instead of grading student assignments,students are graded throughout the term directly on their demonstrated proficiency in regards tothe course objectives. In the SBG system, student progress toward the course learning objectivesis directly and explicitly assessed using student work, which is monitored throughout theduration of the term. An example SBG gradebook for one project within a larger course is shownin Table 2. Changes in proficiency toward the learning objectives can be observed over time.Final course grades are determined based on students

For example, by designing balloon cars, students are supposedto learn Newton’s 3rd law. Despite the popularity of this approach, there is surprisingly littleevidence of its effectiveness, as nonexperts rarely draw connections between their designs andtarget science ideas6,7. One thing these approaches have in common is a static assessment ofphysics principles after the project is completed. This adherence to static assessments may

In ensuring global impact, meshing together thetechnical, social and cultural aspects of an engineer’s humanitarian effort is crucial.However, this is not frequently seen in the context of engineering projects with the internationalcommunity. The need for these specific skills and research is even more integral in the study ofstigmatized, or taboo, topics that engineers may find themselves addressing in their projects,where the approach can be key to the success of an intervention.
