students build community, fostercollaboration, and practice communication skills, while at the same time, developing criticalthinking by examining scientific and technological progress over the last hundred years anddeveloping their own ideas about how science and technology will change over the next 100years. Students are also invited to use design and improvisation to reflect on the ethical andsocietal issues surrounding science and technology.FDS was initially trialed as a faculty retreat to receive feedback about the educational value andformat. Additionally, two truncated versions, omitting the rather expensive professional improvactors, were performed. First for a group of almost 100 undergraduate teaching assistants andthen for

. The presentation highlighted two free campus tutoring centers, described professor office hours, and gave the students an opporunity to meet the Student Success Center advisors. The students were assigned to go to any office hours or tutoring before the first midterm. They were required to get the instructor’s or tutor’s signature as well as answer four short reflection questions.2. Time Management: The College of Engineering Dean gave a presentation to the students about the importance of time management. The follow-up assignment had students complete a time budget of their weekly schedule and write a short reflection about the results.3. Participation in Campus Activities: Involvement in campus activities are beneficial to

efforts specifically for residents Cape Town, South Africa.Students were instructed that their solution should extend the residents’ current water supply aslong as possible. Researchers in engineering design emphasize the need for empathic educationalexperiences [19] and incorporating global perspectives into engineering curricula [20]. As suchthe design challenge focused on designing a product with social impact for a real-life crisis.Students were also instructed to use the design processes, methods, and tools taught in class todevelop a solution. At the conclusion of the in-class activity students were told they had 48 hoursto submit an individual reflection about the design challenge. The reflection asked students toconsider the design

processby comparing engineering design to the design methods used by non-engineering fields. Thiswill allow students to see how design is used across the world and how it can enable cross-disciplinary work. The final assignment involves students exploring ethical, moral, and socialissues in engineering through the use of movies that highlight actual events in engineering. Theuse of visual media to reflect issues in engineering can help engage more visual and reflectivestudents and allows all students to observe the direct implications of ethics to engineering andhow it affects society. This paper can be used to stimulate the development and elaboration ofother assignments that have similar qualities and objectives.Introduction At Rowan

scheduled design review days.Although this approach was not expected to provide students with as personal of an experienceinteracting with their partner as seen with other successful service-learning approaches in theliterature [4,5], it intended to minimize logistical challenges and provide reflection opportunitieswhere students could consider themselves in the role of the kid for which they were designing.The course was divided into three phases: (1) individual phase where students used CADsoftware to mock up potential solutions, (2) group design phase where students were grouped inteams based on shared ideas and worked to flesh out a design for fabrication, (3) groupmanufacturing phase where each group member adapted a specific role towards

of art making and therole of the body. Both presentations were welcomed by the students. The engineering studentsparticipated in the discussion of the art creation processes and appeared honestly interested in thevarious means artists use to express their product. They were especially interested in the sectionof the presentation that illustrated how artists may use their body to create art. The art studentsalso participated in the discussion of the engineering design process. They were responsive inhelping define an issue using objectives and functions, and in understanding the differencebetween objectives and functions. They were especially able to differentiate between form andfunction. One student, in a reflection, expressed how she saw

The greatest growth appeared to be in theirability to formalize decision making procedures, effect clear communication, collaboration,empathy with the audience/client and project management skills. Student growth was assessedby administering a pre-test (using a

STEM related academies.Enrichment OpportunitiesDuring the CU Engineering and Applied Mathematics Summer Academy, selected high schoolstudents work in teams and apply mathematics through the engineering design process toresearch, design, test, and redesign a project. Since its inception in 2016, projects includedesigning (i) a rocket that safely transports an egg, (ii) a windmill that can charge a cellphone,and (iii) a portable water purification system. In addition to the design competition, teams createPowerPoint presentations focused on reflection and participate in an Academy JeopardyCompetition.

The students were alsoencouraged to submit new card suggestions to the instructor, which were curated and forwardedto the game’s creators. Out of class activities In addition to the classroom activities described above, the students were given several outof class assignments to complete. The first assignment was to choose their own engineering ethicscase study to research and analyze.

these RE copies as a form of fair use.” [3].According to Professor Sheri Sheppard, Stanford University, “currently, about 30 universitieshave integrated the method (of RE) into their teaching.”[4] Sheppard had a job at Chrysler, wherethe company sent her to mechanics school for three months where she learned to take thingsapart and rebuild engines, transmissions and brake systems, something she had not done as anundergraduate. She reflects how much one learns though the kinesthetic of touching stuff. “Thereality is that very little design is actually new design,” argues Sheppard, “good designers have acatalog in their brain of stuff-of mechanisms, of devices, of machine elements.” Dr. KwabenaNarh et al, NJIT, has reported the positive course
