Raman also runs multiple summer research internship programs through his roles in CBiRC and CenUSA – over 200 students have participated in summer pro- grams he directed over the past decade. In his role as Pyrone Testbed Champion for CBiRC, Raman and his students have developed early-stage technoeconomic models of bioprocessing systems. His graduate students have gone on to faculty positions at peer institutions, and to engineering leadership positions at companies including Cargill, Nestle, and Merck.Dr. Monica H.

(2002) model guided our study, therefore wedeveloped several interventions in the classroom to make sure we were offering the studentswith each construct of the proposed model. Details as follows: • Common purpose: The primary grade in the design course was based on teams’ development of their design project. Every team had a common purpose (i.e. the real design problem to solve by the engineering team). • Clearly defined goals: teams were required to develop quantifiable and commonly agreed goals, based on the needs of all the tracks. • Psychological safety: students were trained on safety for

In the hybrid semesters additional in-class time was available for the students tobreak into groups and spend time attempting to write their own mission statement, list ofconstraints and evaluation criteria. This in-class time for attempting to define their ownstatements for a design resulting in much lengthier and engaging in-class discussion of this topic.These in-class exercises and hands-on attempts were done for each step of the design process.

Some responsesmentioned friends and classmates that caused the transition to be easier, “Friends andclassmates coming back with me really helped” (SUM16-52), “Well I got a girlfriend.

The student design teams execute a pilotproduction run to validate documentation and fixtures and then they refine the manufacturingand production process to efficiently produce the products. The capstone course ends with asix-hour production run, where the students lead a group of their peers to build between 15and 21 products. To incorporate the practice of integrated manufacturing systems into thiscourse, students are also required to design, simulate and analyze a fully automatedproduction line for their products which includes production stations, material handlingsystems, storage systems

This past fall, however, students designed, analyzed, andbuilt sound-generating or musical bridges in small groups. Fifty-two students, mainlysophomores, enrolled in and completed the course. The project was inspired by discussions withcomposer Molly Herron, who is writing an engineering-inspired piece to be performed in thespring of 2017 as part of a celebration for the 150th anniversary of the Thayer School ofEngineering at Dartmouth. Molly requested that students build unique instruments that wereinteractive and symbolized engineering for the performance. The class

As administrators developing this program, weencountered limited literature pertaining to the implementation and resulting effects of SI inengineering courses at other universities. To adapt this pilot SI model to fit the needs of studentsin engineering coursework, we designed this study to gain understanding of the studentpopulation, their motivations for attending SI, and whether or not SI attendance was linked toincreased academic performance.Another objective was to provide feedback to the instructors of this course (and other freshmencourses) regarding the level of student

instillstudents’ drive to gain new knowledge (Kuh, 2007). Astin (1993, 1999) found that frequentstudent-faculty interaction is more strongly related to student satisfaction in college than anyother type of involvement. Lin and Tsai (2009) and Holt et al. (2007) observed that engineeringstudents valued a learning environment that was student-centered, peer-interactive, and teacher-facilitated, and favored both classroom and laboratory instruction. Chen et al.

Days are filled with math-intensive course work and team orientedprojects. Bridge programs are typically offered at a deeply discounted cost (or none at all) to thestudent’s family.
