during the last three weeks of the class (Figures 6 and 7). Similar to theelectronics project described above, the students are given a set of requirements and they areinstructed to design a system which will meet those requirements. During this three weekproject, the students develop a Gantt chart to plan out their work, go through a engineeringdesign review (at the mid-point in their project) and give a final presentation and demonstrationof their product.Figure 6 shows an image the students created allowing them to see the "A" grade image.Figure 7.

futurecustomers’ needs and expectations. To overcome a narrowed and purely technical view ofinnovation, I changed the prevalent setup of some of my seminars at the University of AppliedSciences (UAS) in Darmstadt, Germany, by combining weekly classroom meetings with a full-day Saturday session. The main method of instruction on these Saturdays is a role-playingexercise for the whole group. Thereby, the task is to apply some empathic thinking and reasoningand to participate in two situations of a simulated public discussion about a planned infrastructuralproject. Students have to take the role of a stakeholder group, to develop arguments, and to applystrategic empathy to discussing the topic with others representing different stakeholders andviews.The

Streams, brooks, rivers,and water resources have always been of great traditional and cultural value to Native Americansnot only as a means of subsistence but also for recreation. Therefore, the model presented in thispaper—to develop stormwater management and mitigation plans—is designed to attract studentsin Native American communities into STEM education.

specifically, rather than re-viewing lectures, there may be otheractivities that students could be performing outside of class that would be more beneficial (e.g.,working on programming exercises, summarizing material, etc.). Recent studies on “flipped”delivery have pointed out that online lectures (especially in multiple courses) can requirestudents to spend considerable time outside of classroom that could be spent on other (possiblymore productive) activities13.In our future work in this area, we plan to explore the differences between in-class and onlinelearning more directly by comparing student cohorts in traditional, in-class lectures to those withsupplemental online resources as described in this paper.
