The SIIRE project addresses NSF’sprogrammatic goal by integrating external (industry supported) intern or co-op experiences ofstudents with ongoing on-campus engineering research activities to provide a guided pathway toa graduate engineering degree. Scholarship funds defray student educational costs during theirsophomore, junior, and senior years of undergraduate study and during 1.5 years of theirgraduate studies.The goal the SIIRE project is to increase the number of students that complete a B.S. degree inengineering and then pursue and complete an M.S. degree within engineering by providing astructured pathway to graduate studies through integrated industry-based work experiences anduniversity-based

These shiftsinclude an emphasis on engineering science and analytical techniques, focus on outcomes-basededucation, emphasis on engineering design, applying education, learning, and social-behavioralsciences research, and integration of information, computational, and communicationstechnology in education [8]. To achieve these shifts, studies in engineering education haveemphasized using various strategies to improve students’ academic performance.

Functional modeling proceduresare often taught in undergraduate design classes as a part of reverse engineering or as an earlystep in creating new designs. However, there is no accepted means of assessing whether studentsunderstand the underlying concepts when applying these procedures, and indeed there is no agreed-upon articulation of

promise for addressing these deficiencies in traditional STEMeducation is Communication Across the Curriculum (CXC), the integration of oral, visual, andelectronic communication in all disciplines. CXC was initially developed in the 1970s and hasseen some success in a variety of fields. Many CXC initiatives have been criticized, however, forbeing overly compartmentalized, focusing too much on discipline-specific skills training andhaving missed opportunities to encourage broad-minded thinking. CXC, traditionally applied,has not been viewed by the National Communication Association (NCA) as a substitute for basicinstruction provided by departments of communication [10].This project aimed to return to Deanna Dannels’ and Housley Gaffney’s [11] call

In thesecourses, students learn programming, graphical design, problem solving and follow theengineering design process to create final projects that integrate all of their newly learned skills.While there are many engineering skills directly taught in this course, there are many ‘soft skills’such as empathy, professionalism, and adaptability that are indirectly taught along the

that in order to learn how to give and receive engineering design feedback, students needto be placed in situations where feedback serves an authentic purpose for a design task.The curriculum development project in which this study took place has an explicit goal ofenabling underrepresented minority students to see engineering as a way to take action onproblems that matter to their communities (Dalvi, Wendell, & Johnson, 2016). One way in whichwe are working toward this goal is by inviting community members to give feedback to studentswhen they are defining the parameters of their engineering design problem. Another way we aresupporting student engagement in engineering is by creating structured opportunities for them togive feedback on
