[20]investigated the effect of mode of collaboration on female students while working in teams.The authors studied two different engineering teams working on the capstone project. Oneteam consisted of two men and two women. The mode of collaboration in this team wasdialogic. Another team consisted of two women and three men and the mode of collaborationhad the characteristics of dialogic, asymmetrical and hierarchical modes. In the first team,female students were treated equally with men and there was no major conflict among teammembers. But, in the second team, female students

The project’s overall aim is to support aculture of pedagogical risk-taking and realize an additive innovation mindset to promote faculty-teaching innovations at a large, southwestern public university. A specific research sub-goal ofthe project is to further understand how faculty development programs and initiatives caninfluence faculty-teaching practices. A modified version of the Business Model Canvas (BMC)[1] is employed to document the emergent activities of innovation driven, self-formed facultygroups over time. The Business Model Canvas is an organizational tool for capturing andcommunicating the critical elements of an evolving project’s ecosystem. Borrowed fromentrepreneurship practices, it is used to identify the necessary

Lifelong learningAs with other accreditation boards, such as ABET, it is the engineering program seeking accreditationthat must devise the outcomes-based teaching and assessment measures to facilitate students’ learningin these areas1. To some extent, thus far in Canada, due to the pressures of accreditation, approaches tothis problem could be generalized as efforts to teach and assess the CEAB graduate attributes byindividually and equitably attending to each attribute on the list, despite acknowledgment by theWashington Accord that whilst all attributes are important, they should not necessarily be appointedequal weight2

To further investigate thepotential of ongoing interactions as spaces for demonstrating engineering thinking and ideas, aframework was created to analyze in situ video clips. An epistemic frame [2-6] was developedto capture skills, knowledge, identity, values, and epistemologies of engineering relative to K-12formal and informal spaces. First, this paper will describe the development of an engineeringepistemic frame for K-12 students and its synthesis using literature, local contexts, and nationalpolicy directives and its application to one pilot set of data as a case study.

One dilemma involved an engineer being asked to donate engineering services tomaintain future work for his firm (a no-win ethical dilemma). The students also analyzed theDeepwater Horizon Oil Spill case, in which there were conflicting ethical principles. For bothcase studies, students utilized the ethical decision-making process worked in teams to discuss thedilemma, reflect on relevant

manufacturing in both of these disciplinesis needed8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce [10].Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the seniordesign or capstone course. McMasters and Lang indicate that few people in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is undertaken. Through design projects,the inclusion of industry partners in the education process will enhance the education provided tothe students and better reflect the expectations of industry [11].

In discussing themotivation for building connections between students and the hands-on situated learningenvironment, they discuss emphasizing “engagement of individuals with the functions and goalsof the community, including interpersonal commitments and ways in which individuals’identities are enhanced or diminished by their participation.” [2] Tonso examines the situatedapproach and its impacts specifically on engineering students and their sense of identity asbelonging within community. “Engineers’ identification with their profession can be critical for persistence, both as a student and then as a professional [].
