whencompared to the monotonous progression of well-structured chapters in the textbook. In the portfolio,students are required to employ the Feynman technique where they explain fundamental concepts usingsimple words. They are also required to make connections between the different aspects of the classes.Through the process of integration of these multiple entities of a course, students learn to critique, realize,synthesize and reflect on the subject they learn thereby achieving all the stages of Bloom’s taxonomy.“Reflecting on this semester, there are many things I have learned and will stick with me because of theway this class was arranged. I believe passion projects and portfolios were beneficial to my understandingof the subject and the questions

, instilling curiosity, connections, and creating value in the students.What results is a mindset and skillset which prepares Baylor students to be competitive in theworkplace. Making our students more aware of what will be faced in industry was a motivationto modify this course project to reflect the company setting when designing a lightweight utilityfighter. The ICE Workshop was a three day, hands-on workshop addressing active and collaboratelearning (ACL) as well as problem/project based learning (PBL) [2]. The workshop, run byLawrence Technological University and sponsored by KEEN, helped faculty understand thefundamental pedagogical techniques of EML, ACL and PBL. Faculty attending the workshop:  Experience firsthand examples of EML

engineering, computer science, human factors,psychology, and aviation technology. In this paper, the inclusion of sustainability in the firstplace design packages from 2007 to 2017 is examined.This paper explores the topics of previous winning design packages, the departments of thefaculty advisors, and the inclusion of sustainability. Insights from students and faculty ofwinning teams are highlighted. Statistics are used to analyze trends. The trends in the winningteam proposals may reflect the level of importance of sustainability in industry and may supportthe need for explicitly including sustainability in courses in engineering and technology. Thelevel and type of sustainability analyses may inform future competition teams and may be usedby

experiences of asubset of engineers from previous recent research [1], shown in Table 1, whose perspectives arethe most comprehensive understanding of uncertainty in design. They have been empowered tomake decisions in their respective companies, and are all employed in the aerospace industry,either in the US or abroad. The data on their experiences were previously collected usingqualitative naturalistic inquiry through semi-structured interviews. The participants were askedabout their experience of decision-making in design, their experience of uncertainty in design,and any reflections they had on learning about uncertainty. All of the participants in the study didso of their own volition, and their interview transcripts were de-identified to

industry, and besuccessful in research and continue to push the frontiers of knowledge. Developing problem-solving is one of the fundamental educational goals for STEM students. Reference [6] shows thatonly teaching mathematical methods will not develop problem solving skills. Students mustshape their own thought processes and they must be deliberate and reflective about the principlesand strategies they select for problem-solving [7]. The best way to develop problem solvingskills is to challenge students with real-world problems where students learn to solve problemsthrough applying analytical methods, establishing criterion, applying new approaches, using bothformal and compiled knowledge, and verifying and validating the effectiveness of
