Theactivities utilizing design in engineering education serve as a potential context for providing thekinds of experiences Piaget alluded to in his research, as these experiences allow the learner toactively engage in his or her own learning process, reflect on the use of existing structures ofknowledge, and benefit from scaffolded learning in an environment that values participation andinteraction among students, teachers, and other resources (deMiranda, 2004; Loewenberg Ball,2010).Engineering Problem Solving & Design as Context Curricular units and

aerospaceinfrastructure. These include the incorporation of multiple new UAS/aerospace academiccourses, implementation of several research projects for undergraduate and graduate students,and creating a new aerospace engineering minor (beginning AY2015-2016). Each of theseefforts has proven popular with students and has brought positive awareness to UAF programs.MotivationAs is broadly reflected in societal trends, UAF is also experiencing a huge increase in demandfor UAS-related courses, training, and activities. UAS are currently in demand within virtuallyall sectors of society – federal, state, and local agencies, industry, small business, andentrepreneurs – all have growing interest in the application of UAS to their missions.

students’ difficulties. An effective practice is to rephrase andrepeat questions at the end of a lecture or the start of the next lecture. The technique of adaptivequestioning is effective at addressing common persistent misunderstandings. Examples of thesequence of questions are described. Student feedback shows the use of frequent and persistentquestions which focus on fundamental concepts are effective at improving student mastery offundamental concepts.IntroductionMany engineering students have difficulty explaining the fundamental concepts used in solvingengineering problems. They succeed at algorithmic problem solving but have difficulty explainingthe physical systems being described. This is reflected in low scores on concept inventoryexams

The reason for introduction of the debates was not to improve overall course grades,which were in the 83% to 85% overall for those two semesters, but in the hopes of improvingstudent participation, motivation for learning the materials, and understanding

After development, students use the remainder ofthe semester to examine peer-reviewed literature in order to find other methods for ranking andselecting projects, to design new or novel approaches to project selection, and to modify thesimulation model to better reflect real-world operating environments. Students then use thesimulation model to perform experiments and test hypotheses related to research objectives theydefine.Of course

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

Post-workshopinterviews reveal that the training offers a platform for role identity development. Theambassador role aligns career-related motivations, resonance with messages contained in theNational Academy of Engineering’s Changing the Conversation report, beliefs about the missionof the EAN, and plans for fulfilling the Network’s mission.

, a student will typicallyexperience a new project and team although occasionally, projects and teams may be continuedfrom a previous semester. In design, students are assessed on their ability to complete the designprocess and develop a solution that meets specifications. In addition to three design credits,students enroll in three professionalism credits. In professionalism, students are assessed on allthe aspects of the design project that are not design (e.g., communicating with the client,conducting a personal review, reflecting on the design process, working in teams, andunderstanding engineering ethics). Furthermore, each student enrolls in a one-credit seminarcourse where they learn and practice design and professionalism

From itsinitial founding, the ECE department had significant collaborations with local industry and inparticular from two major technology corporations that surrounded it. As the program grew andexpanded, the need for a doctoral program was seen as a natural next step in the progress of theuniversity and critical to serving the needs of local industry.Since this would be the first doctoral program in engineering and only the third at the university,several challenges existed. The first was the high cost associated with such a program, thesecond was resistance to the university in moving from a comprehensive institution to a
