students to expand their learning by exercising creative andcritical thinking skills in small groups.2016-2017 – In response to student feedback, two modifications were made to the course: 1) animmersive approach used to introduce critical thinking as a framework within a module onengineering design failures and accident investigation rather than as its own module on criticalthinking theory and 2) the use of peer evaluations was eliminated. This stronger connection toapplication of the theory in the engineering profession improved student engagement with themodule. In this module students are shown how the critical thinking framework [3] is used touncover the sources of the failures and use that knowledge to prevent repeating the samemistake. Next

.Two students will be in each team. The customer need the teams to complete the project withintwo weeks.The project has design suggestions found in the problem description given as: • Each design team need to consult with customer and write the requirements specifications of the design • Be aware of regulation issues • Determine the design deliverable • Research different sources when you conduct the design in order to provide alternative designs • Suggest using the top-down and bottom-up “V” model to conduct the design process. The system might be divided to two subsystems: “Bridge Rectifier and Filter” and “Regulated DC Power Supply” • In order to finish the design and test on time, each team

writing, this office action is being addressed by thecorresponding student group.E.2. Changes in ESIP ConceptsDescriptive statistics were computed for each survey item. Next, the items were checked forinternal consistency reliability by computing Cronbach’s alpha. The data evidenced acceptable(α > .70) to excellent reliability (α > .80) [12] for nearly every construct, with the exception ofpre-course responses to the Careers in Patent Law construct, which was minimally acceptable (α= .69). Given its proximity to the proposed threshold of .70 for acceptability, and the excellentinternal consistency reliability evidenced from post-course responses (α = .83), the construct wasretained as originally designed.Next, the data were aggregated into

The typical CoE student areadults who have family and work full-time. Most of the evening students take classes at nightbetween 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. In addition, the digital communications course has

theirspecific design project (e.g., doctors’ need for new surgical instruments). Using canvases in thisway also offers opportunities for peer learning, enhanced student-instructor interaction and just-in-time teaching. Lastly, we previously stated that canvases are often created by experts to modela real-world system and that capstone students operate somewhere between novice and expert.The process of creating the canvases as students, while not necessarily resulting in “expert”canvases, can help students as they take the next steps in their transition from novice to expertdesigners. Student-created canvases can be implemented in many ways, and we will providesome example cases illustrating how we’ve used student-created canvases in the

Kendall is helping develop a new Engineering Leadership Program to enable students to bridge the gap between traditional engineer- ing education and what they will really experience in industry. With a background in both engineering education and design thinking, her research focuses on how Hispanic students develop an identity as an engineer, methods for enhancing student motivation, and methods for involving students in curriculum development and teaching through Peer Designed Instruction. c

played animportant role in these efforts. Negatively experienced innovation efforts, in contrast, wererelated to a lack in implementation, solutions and resources. Top and bottom moments werestrongly tied to the social dimension of work: top moments were typically related tocamaraderie with peers or recognition coming from managers, and bottom experiences withan absence of social connections in addition to falling short of one’s own expectations.The results suggest that managers should be cognizant of the importance of social connectionsand feedback cycles with their young engineers who are looking for guidance and validationof their efforts. For educators, the results highlight the importance of equipping our graduateswith skills suited to

to gain insight into the motivations andconceptions of the authors and their audiences, but most of the evidence produced so far by our   2  analysis is quantitative.Although advocates of the T-shaped ideal often mention global competitiveness as a motivationfor developing T-shaped professions, it is not clear to what extent the discussion is aninternational versus a distinctively American phenomenon. To get some sense of the scope of theconversation, we compared publications on the topic in English and in German, the languages inwhich we write, read, and publish.

specific as using a new design tool or performing aspecific task (e.g., a weighted decision matrix); documenting and/or considering a new criterion,constraint, or focus area (e.g., users, marketability); or adhering to new project managementstructure (e.g., a set of milestones/deadlines).In some cases, these approaches were restrictive initially. For example, Hannah felt that thedocumentation aspect detracted from her technical design work, which was where she believedinnovation was occurring. We have this big design document... It's a 15 or 16 page document that we had to write about the project partner… So, obviously, we wanted to record what went on. Each failure, why it went wrong, things like that. But a lot of it was like

]. Given thelimited time of the survey, we used a short ten-item measure for the BFPT. The BFPT wereapplied successfully multiple times in Entrepreneurship Research [6]. The operationalizationof the BFPT as well as the other SCCT constructs are described in the following.Despite its shortness the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) from Gosling et al. [1] hasproven its validity many times. Gosling suggests using the TIPI, if a very short measure isneeded due to time constraints or if you “can tolerate the somewhat diminished psychometricproperties associated with very brief measures” [1]. Also, Gosling found that TIPI has “(a)convergence with widely used Big-Five measures in self, observer, and peer reports, (b) test–retest reliability, (c
