While many studentsengage in experiential learning activities voluntarily, some schools have formalized a creditedversion as an elective to ensure the learning includes the reflective and conceptual components,as verified by a deliverable outcome. A few schools such as Messiah College have also gone astep further to require an approved experiential learning activity of all students, includingengineering majors, to enhance their career preparation and community engagement beforegraduation. Students matriculating to Messiah College as of 2015 may now opt to fulfill theExperiential Learning Initiative (ELI) by either credited internship, practicum, service

Sketches could be ideas for their project or as responses to theweekly questions. In addition to encouraging reflective growth, these activities were designed tohelp students become comfortable with the basic skills, like sketching, required to implementdesign thinking. Notably, some student disciplines were relatively unfamiliar with narrativereflection while others rarely sketch as part of their work.The first iteration of the course was offered as a special topics course in each discipline and crosslisted through Interprofessional Education at James Madison University.

A useful codex (Benson 2016) was found that groups 175 biases into four categories:too much information, not enough meaning, need to act fast, and what to remember. Using thisand similar lists as a starting point, the relevant literature was compiled into an annotatedbibliography of over 25 seminal works in the field involving recognized cognitive barriers torational

Assessments of beliefs, attitudes, or interests reflect self-knowledge and aremore indicative of motivation to perform sustainable design or act sustainably, rather than ademonstrated ability to do so.Accordingly, the research questions guiding this review were:1. What tools are available for assessing students’ (a) conceptual knowledge, (b) design skills or application of knowledge, and/or (c) beliefs/attitudes/interests related to sustainability?2.

So,the six sigma process of the Dabbawalas was only partially responsible for theirexemplary performance, the high level of internal excellence contributed to their successas well. The bottom-line is this: What six sigma considers as minimum variance is reallynot the true minimum variance state and therefore, further improvement in performance ispossible by increasing the level of internal excellence. These findings are reflected inFigure 6, and they have profound implications for a better and a more peaceful world. Thefindings also

To accomplish this, it has chosen a method which lies mid-way between the twoextremes found in typical engineering curricula, namely self-learning and explicit courseinstruction. In the selected model, the cost to a specific course, or academic term, is small, andthe distributed nature of the modules (once per term for the first three years of the program)enhances their impact by keeping teamwork always “front of mind” for students.Upon reflection, the success of the team’s initiative can be largely attributed to the team’scharacteristics as a well-functioning team, made up of people with complementary expertisewhich covers the broad spectrum required to teach teamwork skills to engineering students whilenavigating significant and varied

, misunderstandings were common because of differences in their disciplinary languages,tools, physical models, and skill sets, and also in terms of mental models of other disciplines andstereotyping. Reflecting on this experience, we have been able to develop procedures and toolsthat have reduced some of the uncertainty and friction. One example of a tool is a semantic webtool to help team members to get informed about each other’s roles and disciplines (Donate et al.2015).Current Course Offering:Thirty three engineering students from computer engineering, computer science, and electricalengineering enrolled in this elective course on app development. They were recruited with clearindication that they will be working with students from nursing and arts, and
