et. al. (1994) [27] have found that 3D solid modeling systems help enhance spatialvisualization skills in engineering graphics students. Other research involving youth aged 11 to15 has shown that the process of 3D modeling helps develop spatial awareness skills [4]. Thespatial abilities include perception of objects from different angles, mental construction andmaintenance of visuals, and rotation and changing of shapes in the mind [15], [16]. Many of themost powerful 3D modeling tools are difficult for new learners to approach due to issues likeconfusing terminology and having to deal with complex geometries. Tools like Tinkercadprovide a much low barrier to entry with fewer unfamiliar words and simpler geometry [5], [6].This in turn makes

The expectation was thatthe students that participate in Icarus, positively engage with their engineering program, and with their peers, butnot to the expense of their academic coursework. Icarus emphasized the value of the alignment between theresearch project offered, and the coursework students were enrolled in.

andperhaps responsibility as working engineers, the use of reflection as a tool for making decisionsbecomes much more important. A challenge will be conveying to students this important use ofreflection, as only 8% of student respondents considered this form of use.Finally, it is important to note that remembering is a moderately important use of reflection forboth students and faculty, but not for practitioners. Keep in mind that remembering implieslooking back upon past events without actually attempting to make meaning from it. Whystudents and faculty would be more prone to use this relatively passive form of reflection isunclear. Perhaps there is something about working in industry that pushes practitioners to seereflection as a precious

In developing a concept map, a student writesdown terms that come to mind as the result of a prompt and connects them with directionalarrows and text describing the nature of the connections. If the concept maps are to be used toassess or evaluate student learning, the instructor must decide not only how to construct theassignment prompt but also how to evaluate the map.

Forthe first half-day, students are presented with constrained problems strongly tied to their coursecontent. These problems serve as warm-ups, introducing the problem space and leading studentsthrough an analysis of a related but simplified system. These warm-up problems also provide anassessment opportunity that can be used as an assignment in one or more courses, whichstrengthens the links to course content in students’ minds and makes the expectation clear thatthe time is not just about having fun as a team.

There is aneed to reliably capture student learning about complex and dynamic socio-technical systemswithout privileging an assessment tool that a priori evaluates “more is better”. With that in mind this manuscript addresses three key issues in this area. The firstobjective, efficiency, is to interrogate the use of concept maps to capture student learning aboutthe complexity of socio-technical systems in large-scale engineering programs where a review ofeach individual map would require extensive time investments. Conducting the conceptmapping exercise and analysis strategy are impacted under this objective. This leads to thesecond objective, methodological development, which assesses how complexity can be evaluatedin

For example, Brian used Mind Mapping to come up with sub-component ideas and synthesized whole idea by combining various sub-components. Ideationtechniques helped students to come up with a larger number of ideas that varied.

-Scoping/Problem Framing Problem-scoping or Problem Framing, the process by which engineers iteratively define and refine the problem, is an important part of the engineering design process but also one that requires specific skills and habits of mind. Few activities, however, are structured to help students develop these skills. Here we share three activities that were specifically developed to emphasize the problem-scoping phase of the engineering design process: The Paper Airplane Contest, the Changing Leaves Problem, and the Protecting Pelican Colonies problem. In these activities, students are presented with a client who has a rich, but ill-defined realistic problem. Students then engage in a structured
