From the responses the authors can conclude that development of communication skillswas the most frequent response. Students recognized the importance of communication at theworkplace, as well as acknowledged that their communication skills improved as a result of theirparticipation in the course project. Observations of the in-class project meetings and out of class meetings of the teams’leaders revealed that students took their roles seriously and played the simulated company as ifthey were real employees. Besides the required documents (communication plan, memorandums,letters) they prepared and used additional documents to

comes from industry, academia, national laboratoriesand service entities. Through weekly lectures and studio meetings, instructors work with teamsto apply the design tools to their problem and scope of work. While each project is unique,student teams generally follow a similar process, developing concepts and fully designing thefinal concept in the first semester, and developing and executing a validation plan in the secondsemester. The goal of the program is to provide a significant design experience for studentsthrough which they can apply the various theoretical knowledge and analytical skills that theyhave collected in their previous coursework. Since practicing engineers will employ the designprocess repeatedly, the program also seeks to

As researchers plan heuristicsstudies in various domains, especially engineering course design, the considerations and themespresented in this study can provide a starting point for framing the focus and extent of datacollection. More specifically, researchers should consider how differences in quantity; heuristicspace coverage, specificity, and conceptualization; specificity of individual heuristics; and locusof specificity in heuristics examples may be relevant to their study and its overarching goals.ConclusionThis study compared the course design heuristics identified using three distinct data collectionmethods. While analysis focused on comparison, it was evident that the three methods producedsimilarities in

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

However, neither of these goals resemble the workof engineers [13]. Builds like this would be wasteful in terms of resources, so many civilengineering firms employ engineers specifically to minimize material, time, and cost while stilladhering to the specifications of the structure. The goal for students in this activity was to minimize cost, weight, and deflection of atruss cantilever

A basic spatial-temporal model has been developed whereinstructors and students can interact with each other by moving around the environment space. Theinstructors and students can be added and remove from the system, and the number of occupantscan be monitored using plots in real time. In the future, we plan to expand the model in variousother applications where there is continuous agent interaction.AcknowledgementThis work used the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), which issupported by National Science Foundation grant number ACI-1548562.

However, Jeannette Wing stated the importanceof CT for everyone a decade earlier in her landmark essay [2]. Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally

constraints are very important for first-year engineering students and are also emphasizedin the course. Students are taught that the design process requires an open mind, and awillingness to fail. Efficient time use is important, since usually the first design solutions, orprototypes, are not the best design options and improvements must be made. As part of this first-year engineering course, students create Gantt Charts and a project management plan. Thisassists student in staying on track in meeting the project and course goals, and in using the coursetime efficiently. Their time in lab may be the only time that the whole team can meet togetherand have access to the lab equipment. It is also important that the team works effectivelytogether. An

Even more interesting is that none of the students in the SCADA class studied with otherstudents. The conclusion we come to here, is that this may have been related to the type of course(analytical vs. qualitative) selected to include in this analysis, but we recognize that there areseveral other factors that could influence this behavior. In the future we plan to revisit questionsin the Formative and Summative surveys to help students and instructors to better understandcriteria that leads to satisfactory performance.6 References[1] M.

Brad had faith that his approachin conveying his concern to his advisor would result in a satisfactory solution. Theunpleasant fact that Brad discovered later was that his designs were not reviewed orchecked, and that they were passed straight to contractors after being stamped by aprofessional engineer. Although, legally speaking, the engineer that stamped and signedthe plans assumed the responsibility related to the accuracy and compliance of the designwith applicable codes, Brad could not bear the thought that these were his designs and,due to lack of experience and sophistication, such designs
