of this paper is to present a set of hands-on modules that utilizes mathematical andgeometric modeling as educational activities in a facade design course. The proposed modulescan be utilized in various courses such as facade design, capstone design/ thesis, or independentstudy in architecture and/or interior design undergraduate or graduate programs. 3The proposed design modulesThe process of pattern modeling and design of pattern-based responsive facades can beconsidered a valuable learning experience in an interdisciplinary process that includes research,design, simulation, performance evaluation, optimization, testing, and documentation.The proposed hands-on modules have been designed to

According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of LaborStatistics (April 2018), “Employment of aerospace engineers is projected to grow 6 percent from2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations.” Rationale for this growth isattributed to several factors

Purdue University offered itsgraduates the opportunity to take the FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certification exam at theend of its four-year degree plan. Purdue was one of two schools to be both Part 147 certified aswell as ABET-ETAC accredited, Vaughn College of Aeronautics and technology is the other,and as such, offered its graduates courses covering advanced composite structure assembly andrepair as well as requiring a two-semester capstone project as part of its graduation criteria [25],[26].The final and most known group were the classical aeronautical engineers.

ready for the workshop, but only a staggering 11% of business leaders feel that graduateshave the competencies and skills necessary to succeed in the workplace [1]. This challenge does notescape engineering programs, and many are developing strategic programs to take on this industryreadiness gap. Some engineering programs have launched industry-sponsored senior capstone programswhile others bring industry influence into the classroom as guests, adjunct faculty or through industry-influenced curriculum or professional socialization [2-5]. Other engineering programs have sought toclose this industry readiness gap with mentorship programs [6-7].Mentorship is a vital component to career advancement. It is stated by the Association for Talent &
by articulating plans, managing time efficiently,monitoring their steps, and evaluating their design process. While all students can articulate theirdesign intentions, some demonstrate a refined understanding of their design intentions andactionable strategies that could directly impact how they design in the future.This practical classroom activity can be used at the beginning of time intensive designexperiences (such as term-long design projects or capstone design courses) to help studentsdevelop a targeted understanding of important aspects of the design processes and set intentionsfor how they will engage in their design projects.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Marie Buan, Wendy Roldan, and Jim Borgford-Parnell whose

IACs that met once or twice a year to give input on changesin the field and to review and give feedback on proposed program changes and assessment andevaluation findings. IAC members were also the primary sponsors of senior projects. The METand PET programs both strove to have students work on industry-sponsored senior projects when-ever possible and achieved that for 80-90% of students most years. The EET program had allstudents complete a project of their own choosing that included a set of technical requirements thathad been vetted by the EET IAC.

Engineering Education, 2019 EML Indices to Assess Student Learning through Integrated e-Learning ModulesIntroduction The University of New Haven has facilitated the development and integration of 18 e-learning modules on entrepreneurial topics into regular engineering and computer sciencecourses. In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through
