The lab experiment content, software and hardware, miscellaneous components allmust work together and conclude in the desired learning experience. Additionally, it is importantto realize that in our ever-fast-changing technological era, it is necessary to offer degreeprograms that reflect the changes in industry and the job market. This realization in a largemeasure is the responsibility of the instructor to update and maintain course and programrelevance to the real world. The intent of changes of the course content were based on the suggestions from engineersand technical sales representatives during annual ASEE

wellestablished ([3]-[7]). Relying on technological progress to drive or require the social progressthat would make “solutions” widely available has also been shown to be inadequate (e.g. [8-9]). As scholars [10] have written, “Critical analyses and reflections on the design of scienceand technology are essential if societies are to meet their challenges in ways that create realimprovements rather than re-create inequalities.” Meaningfully addressing the GrandChallenges thus requires interdisciplinary collaboration, critical thinking about the potentialand the limitations of engineering design methods, and deep understanding of local socialcontext and larger economic and political systems.Lafayette College began its Grand Challenges Scholars Program

IC activities have been incorporatedin the USAFA capstone design course previously, but their effects were not directly studied.Nevertheless, faculty observations and customer feedback suggested that creativity and productinnovation improvements occurred. Thus, sufficient anecdotal evidence existed to motivatefurther formal examination of the impact of IC activities on the USAFA engineering designprocess and capstone design course.Since the underlying conceptual process of the capstone design course and the DI activityexperience reflects the divergent thinking processes it is appropriate

significantly lowered theDEW rates for students over traditional delivery instruction. This supports the use of flipped andmixed methods to improve student achievement. Despite the improvement in DEW percentages,the rate of students achieving an A in the course was significantly higher in the mixed class thanin either the flipped or traditional sections. Overall, the grades reflected similar outcomes to theexams where students in the mixed section outperformed students in both the flipped andtraditional sections. This indicates that, despite some promise shown in the flipped coursesection, students in that section were still not able to achieve at the same level as their peers inthe mixed-delivery class.

Authorities integrate entrepreneurshipinto their discourse, which mobilized people.When the idea of entrepreneurship is present in the discourse of the highest authority, the ideaflows downwards and transcends faculty members, staff, and students.

Here, the Ingeniería 2030 project strengthened analready existing emphasis already in the dean, increasing its importance among the facultymembers and other actors, who did not necessarily share the vision of the entrepreneurialengineer.

dates back to the American philosopher John Dewey who defined it asreflective thinking. Dewey defined reflective thinking as “…the ground or basis for a belief isdeliberately sought and its adequacy to support the belief examined” [4]. This definition evolvedinto intellectual abilities and skills by Benjamin Bloom who developed Bloom’s taxonomy ofeducational objectives [5]. Currently, P21 classifies critical thinking as reasoning effectively, usingsystems thinking, making judgements and decisions, and solving problems [3]. Critical thinking is important to develop in students. The Femineer® Program is able tohelp students develop critical thinking skills by introducing systems thinking into the WearableTechnology curriculum. This will

They were more likely to find the active learning sessions, especially those whichdid not include problem-solving exercises, as “busy work” and unnecessary for their success inthe class and may reflect differences in motivational factors and preferred learning environmentsnoted by some researchers [32], [33].

Those with an entity or fixed mindset believe that intelligence isunchangeable and are more likely to believe that poor performance is a result of a result oflacking intelligence [37].Stamm [38] shares that creating a climate in which this learner-centered model of highereducation is realized is not easy. The learner-centered classroom requires learner motivatedteaching is a paradigm shift from the traditional university practices.
