Given the motivations to switch, the team wanted tocreate a new set of experiences that could replace ARoW, have fewer logisticalchallenges, better represent USCGA’s five Engineering programs, and give participantsa better idea of how Science and Engineering concepts are applied in technology,learned in college and used beyond graduation.Moving beyond ARoWIn fourteen years, ARoW became a mainstay in AIM, but as the team prepared forSummer 2018, replacing ARoW with another challenge was not in dispute. UnitedStates Coast Guard Academy Engineering needed a challenge that better representedthe engineering student experience, and that led to deeper discussions about WHATaspects of

In a few cases, (e.g., [21])there is a deeper treatment, but the focus is on technology or the engineered system and less onunderstanding and optimizing the function of social system. An important exception to thistheme has been explored in Engineers Without Borders as will be explained later in this paper. We suggest that the ability of engineers to think in systems terms promotes their leadershipskills in team and organizational settings. Better development of this thread is likely to providesubstantial benefits in engineering leadership development. Such an approach can complementand augment the prevalent initiatives for

Another study examined, how youngchildren drew cubes, finding that it was not until 7 years and older that children drew a realisticimage of the 3-D shape; prior to this, children drew flat squares (starting age 3) or attempted todraw other sides of the cube albeit in a visually unrealistic way (starting age 4) [24]. While there are many studies on drawing by young children in general, there are fewerstudies regarding drawn plans within engineering or technological design.
