the course.Many students create study aids while reviewing course material and in preparation for exams.These may include crib sheets, outlines reviewing key concepts, mind maps, or summaryparagraphs. For mathematics and engineering courses, students often prepare for exams byreworking homework problems or working review problems provided by instructors or found inold course files. The act of creating study aids or working problems can improve understandingof course material and the student’s ability to recall that information but it does not require thestudent to communicate this knowledge with others nor does it require or encourage creativity.Effective communication skills are critical for engineers and have long been a student

We would like to see improvement in the recruitment and retention of the bestand brightest minds, regardless of sex, ethnic background, or sexual orientation, in our studentand faculty bodies. We envision a learning community that demonstrates its culture of inclusionthrough (i) providing training to the student body in cognitive empathy to foster a more inclusive learning environment (ii) encouraging more engaged participation from female and underrepresented students and faculty on extracurricular engineering

Danielle (Class A) summed up the HCD orientation of theprogram that emerged throughout many of the students’ descriptions of their everyday work onthese teams: That’s the thing that I really enjoy about [this program], is the human-centered design aspect and always keeping the stakeholders in mind, kind of drilling that into our heads

Such approaches areextremely effective at helping students attain a deeper and long-term understanding of thesubject materials, which in turn stir their interest in their learning environment.The Next Generation Science Standards emphasize inquiry-based curriculum, instruction, andassessment and provide guidelines for science teaching and learning.

Today, entering freshmen have the perception that the solutions toengineering problems are somewhere in the computer and just have to be found, when in fact thesolutions are where they have always been – in the minds of the engineers!

Logic, as does practice, suggests that a campus library wouldbe one of the better places to house equipment intended to improve accessibility to 3D printingand provide students with an informal workspace to extend their learning beyond the classroom.With this in mind, the College of Engineering and Technology’s Department of TechnologySystems approached the main campus library in the spring of 2014 with the hope of forming apartnership to make 3D printing more accessible to the campus community to house a 3D printerin the library in order to make the technology more accessible to the campus community.

Theselessons may also be instructive to other engineering faculty who manage or advise undergraduateengineering projects. To recap, four key lessons learned by the team phrased as suggestions hereinclude 1) keeping the big picture in mind to helps project team members focus on what works toserve the client by effectively meeting the need, not just developing fancy technology, 2) whendeveloping a new product, it helps to start by trying to meet a specific need in a smaller localmarket, and gradually work toward the larger market, 3) grant funding or other support for fieldtesting proves

engineering coursework, which often places great focus on workingequations computationally rather than actually understanding the material3,4. Traditionalengineering coursework often leaves students in a position where they can construct and solve aseries of equations to find a requested answer, but they do not understand “why” or even “whatthey just did”5. This is often evidenced on exams when students do not realize a computedanswer is incorrect by multiple orders of magnitude, and poor conceptual understanding such asthis has been observed in young engineers during their work in industry6,7. With this in mind,instruments which can effectively teach and evaluate engineering students’ conceptualunderstanding are key tools for engineering
