. collaborated on thedevelopment of a software package based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) to facilitateseamless communication and transfer of location information between robots. To effectively setupa distributed network (see Figure 7) and enable information transfer between the robots, they hadto understand the concept of custom messages in ROS. Later, using fiducial marker-based tracking,they extracted localization information and constructed a custom message that is transferred topeer robots. The project further involved reflecting the localization information of the robots intoan iPad app for user interaction.4.6.

Python on top of the Django framework. The low level of design skills wasnoted by faculty teaching the following design course, SWEN-262 Engineering of SoftwareSubsystems, which emphasizes design abstraction and design patterns. Students were talkingabout design information learned in their first-year CS course and not the Introduction toSoftware Engineering course. The department's Industrial Advisory Board also identified this asa problem after having discussions during our annual meeting with students at all year levels.Learning Goals for the CourseIn considering yet another redesign of our Introduction to Software Engineering course, we gavesome reflection on why we had so much trouble getting this course "right".

It is possible that afreshman or sophomore may experience more difficulties when reading the theory andcollecting data due to less experience in a laboratory setting.6 AcknowledgementsThis project is supported by the National Science Foundation through the ATE program,Award No. ATE 1700695.

To what extent did you work as a team?Answers were provided in five scales: 1. Almost never 2. Rarely 3. Sometimes 4. Often 5. Almost alwaysDirect assessment about students’ technical learning was conducted using a PBL rubric that theinstructors used to grade their design reports. This score indicates the quality of their design andhow much actually they satisfied their customer. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between howmuch the students believe they learned and how much the instructor determines they learned.One of the contributing factors is that the students’ perspective reflected from the survey aboveis

. However, students’ exposure to intuitive reasoning, which plays a role in all decision-making, is limited during their undergraduate engineering formation. In an effort to generate abaseline for how we can operationalize intuition in the context of engineering education, thepurpose of our current research was to synthesize characterizations and portrayals of intuitivereasoning. We focused on literature from the field of management because intuition isconsidered in the context of complex, strategic decisions, which are reflective of the designdecisions central to engineering. The specific research questions addressed in this study are 1)how does extant management literature characterize intuition?, and 2) how does extantmanagement literature

Outcomes involving design of experiments, theNavier-Stokes equations, static equilibrium in 3D, and teamwork could be assessed to someextent on the FE, but they are not; is this a reflection of the consensus of faculty surveyed or aconsequence of the survey process? How do we confirm that the content and emphasis of the FEreflects the opinions of the surveyed faculty members? Additionally, how are the specificationstranslated into questions? How is the handbook developed? Is it involved in determining examcontent? What do the numbers on the subject matter reports even mean?The FE might be reliable but it is not

They perceive training as being quizzed to prove abilityrather than the calibration process it is intended to be.Implications and Recommendations Each of the themes identified in the previous section indicate potential root causes forinconsistencies in grader interpretations, decisions, and behaviors. While some of these issueshave been identified previously in the literature, these findings present a few new ideas andprovide additional nuance to refine or extend upon old ideas.

, the VIP Program is intended forstudents of sophomore rank and above. Freshmen who participate are exceptions to the rule, who oftenhave related experience and high motivation. The higher means reflect these traits. If the programactively recruited freshmen, the mean would likely approach that of or be lower than the sophomoremean.Analysis of variance on giving help also showed statistical significance for the number of semestersstudents were in VIP, with groupings of one, two, and three or more semesters. However, VIP experienceis related to academic rank, as both increase over time. The correlation is not one-to-one, because studentscan begin VIP at any academic rank, but they are related.

As was reflected in the open-ended responses fromSurvey 1 and Survey 3, participants in the focus group also listed math as their most difficultSTEM course. As far as their opinions on the Engineering Design and Communication course,students had a positive experience to date in the class. They appreciated learning a quantitativeapproach to choosing a design solution as well as the unique opportunities the course providedwhich they might not find elsewhere at Duke.

In this approach, the students submit theirassignment excerpts at least two days before the workshop so that the peers and often a mentorhave the chance to read, reflect, edit, and

to working as a civilengineer requires passing two exams (FE and PE) and M/30 that other engineeringdisciplines do not require. So more clear communication on these issues is important.Clearly outlining the necessity for requiring an M/30 prior to professional licensure will beimportant. The reasons that students used in their writings may provide insight into thearguments that they found most compelling. It is important that this message comes fromindustry and practicing engineers rather than academia. A number of the seniors usedlanguage that reflected their belief that the M/30 requirement was motivated by greedyuniversities. Some students proposed changes in the BS degree or changes in the PE examthat could ensure competency. There

tofirst reflect upon and identify HC and then to respond and react to HC from an emotional, self-efficacy, and self-advocacy standpoint.C. Preliminary considerations for appropriate interventions for HC in engineeringRecent literature has indicated that when engineering educators and students fail to recognize thepersistence of a cultural influence in engineering education, undesirable consequences can result[51]. For example, a lack of culturally-responsive and holistic curricular content may limit students'understanding of their future professional roles [52], which may hinder students’ sense of"ownership" (i.e., self-efficacy) of their professional actions and beliefs [53], [54]. In addition, a lackof social capital for underrepresented groups

These sub-factors are also normally distributed within the following theoreticalranges: SO (13–65), E (7–35), and R/G (12–60) [26, 27]. Sufficiency of Originality (SO)highlights differences between individuals in their preferred ways of generating and choosingideas. The more adaptive tend to generate more highly detailed ideas that remain more closelyconnected to the original constraints of a problem, while more innovative individuals tend togenerate ideas that challenge the problem definition and constraints. Efficiency (E) reflects anindividual’s preferred methods for managing and organizing ideas as they solve problems. Themore adaptive prefer to define problems and
