America’s Promise (LEAP) was able to identify many suchHIPs that are gaining attention [1]. In a subsequent report, Kuh found that students whoparticipated in these HIPs show that they were positively affected by these activities, asmeasured by the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). It was found that these“deep approaches to learning are important because students who use these approaches tend toearn higher grades and retain, integrate, and transfer information at higher rates [2].” Thus,what we set out to do is to apply HIPs to a 300- level engineering course at a state collegelevel and gather data regarding its effectiveness, student reflections, and possible futureimprovements for better learning outcomes.HIPs in a Mechanical

reflecting on experience, how to help engineering educators make effective teach-ing decisions, and the application of ideas from complexity science to the challenges of engineeringeducation. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Implicit Engineering Identity in the Mechanical Engineering MajorAbstractThe Mechanical Engineering Department at Seattle University was awarded a National ScienceFoundation RED (Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments) grant in2017 to study how student identities are affected when a department makes “revolutionizing”changes. These can result in graduates who not only are prepared technically and professionallywith a practical, realistic understanding of what

with various activities in Strength of Material. We find that lab and quiz assignments, as wellas watching lab or lecture videos are items student spend most of their time engaging with (mean valuesare highest as reported in Table 1). For activities of reading the textbook, practicing on your own, andexploring the internet on the course topics are also activities reported by around 30% as being engaged with“very often”. On the other hand, optional problem sets and answering reflective questions, and the use ofonline forum, neither of which is graded or assessed in this course, are activities that majority of studentsreport “never” engaging with. Question: Out of all the time you spent on this course only during the

variety ofaesthetic issues in the form of practical and creative assignments. The course consists oflectures on photography skills, fluid physics, visualization techniques, critique sessions, and aguest lecture. Assignments consist of images paired with written technical reports, and self-reflection sessions to learn "effective communication" skills. Other course objectives evaluatedthrough students’ assignments and projects are "creative thinking" and "integrative thinking".Some samples of student works are presented. This course proved to be very successful inattracting all students (male and female) in both engineering and non-engineering majors.IntroductionThere has been a great interest in bridging the science and art in recent.
