Content and goals for the modules are briefly discussed below.Cultivating Perseverance. Based heavily of the work of Angela Duckworth’s Grit Scalestudents are asked to rate a series of statements such as “I have difficulty maintaining my focuson a project that takes more than a few months to complete” according to how similar thestatement is relative to how they see themselves [11]. The students are directed to view aTedTalk by Angela Duckworth about Grit and the importance of perseverance in achievingsuccess [12].

However,carefully selected hands-on case studies may provide the opportunity to engage students inmaterials and process selection at each stage of the design process.The use of guided case studies, rather than open ended design challenges (common in upper classand senior design projects), provides students with the opportunity to be active participants in thematerials selection and design process as a limited subset of materials and processing methodscan be made available for hands-on investigation. A suitable case study should be chosen for itssignificance and relevance in modern society. Further, the product should be familiar, allowingstudents to draw on their own experiences, interests, and background knowledge to inform andscaffold the

as a direct prerequisite or corequisite.We chose this criterion because these courses are expected to be the most directly impacted bythe calculus sequence. We narrowed the sample pool by selecting only those faculty memberswho taught these courses during the Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 terms (a pool of 60 faculty). Thisensured that these faculty members remembered their experiences teaching the selected courses.On occasion participants encouraged us to interview another faculty member who failed to meetour criteria but were considered to be important voices in our campus’s dialogue about this topic.Two such faculty were added to the sampling pool. By the end of the project, we plan tointerview at least two faculty members from each of the 12

Given that most students perceivedthe homework as “difficult” or “challenging”, as indicated by answers to the question “How doyou think the level of this assignment compares to the level expected of the class, as specified inthe rubrics provided,” this indicates that

ConclusionsInstead of having to choose using either PT or GNS3 for network development, it might be aneven better idea to use them both together. As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other. PT can be used to createa networking plan that incorporates the internal and external functions of a network. PT couldfurther facilitate ease of assessment and automated grading.

Initially, it was envisioned thateach ENGR 1110 section would eventually teach two Grand Challenges a semester. In order toretain other important class features such as the design project, one grand challenge per semesteris more realistic. Now that initial module development and testing has been performed by the PIsand evaluator, the goal is to engage more faculty in implementation and evaluation.
