Additionally, a survey was conducted on effectiveness of the simulation projectin developing students’ simulation skills and learning mechanical engineering concepts. I. IntroductionWhile use of advanced design tools and software is deemed imperative for engineers in bothresearch and industry settings, acquiring these skills is not typically embedded in theundergraduate curriculum. Some students may choose relevant professional electives; however,for majority, a steep learning curve is required to grasp and master the skills required forengineering career or graduate school [1].

Resources on mentoring will benefit mentors to effectively mentorengineering faculty. Ultimately, the curation and creation of training in EER fundamentals willbe beneficial to all engineering faculty by making the field of EER more accessible and willpromote increased synergies between engineering and EER, which will increase the impact ofthe field.Future WorkThe current project highlighted the benefits in developing a community for the NSF RIEFprogram and outlined specific resources and events that are desired

Assessment MethodsVarious forms of assessment were conducted to determine the impact of partial flipping, including directand indirect assessment of student performance and affective assessment that involved studentperspectives on flipping and active learning.3.1. Methods: Direct Assessment of Student PerformanceSince a portion of the material in each course was flipped, it was possible to compare student performancewith the flipped versus non-flipped material within each course. Various assignments were assessed ineach course for this comparison. For ECE-1212 (Electronic Circuit Design Lab), quizzes, pre-lab exercises,and lab reports were evaluated. This evaluation was done during two

They write that the greatest challenges for recent graduates involve effectivelycommunicating with customers and coworkers, using software tools and configuration managementsystems, and creating unit tests for code. Also, the most common issues preventing students fromobtaining a position at a company were a lack of problem-solving abilities and project experience.

Thestudents at university A were told to imagine that they were graduate students whose objectivewas to replicate an experiment, or researchers inside a company whose task was to communicatean experimental protocol to a technician who would then be required to perform the labexperiment. It should be noted that due to logistical constraints, these students could notphysically replicate the experiment. Students at university A were then asked to rate the qualityof the reports that they had analyzed, mainly for their respective ability to understand andreplicate the experiment (Appendix C).

In practice, young graduate engineers who want to create the future in-stead of staying in a comfortable and predictable world of natural sciences, need to navigateand negotiate their way in complex and constantly changing environments that have both nat-ural sciences based and more human centered challenges. Engineering education research haswidely acknowledged this and it is a common baseline for curricula and teaching methods indesign and in engineering education yet pragmatic solutions tend to be context driven and fo-cused on areas that are measurable quantitatively.

graduatingengineers.Introduction Culminating design events serve as a hallmark of most undergraduate engineeringprograms [1], [2], and many undergraduate programs leverage a quarter, semester, or evenyearlong capstone course to meet this objective. This paper presents a case study of a novelapproach to conduct a compressed-timeframe culminating event just prior to graduation, in thecontext of a two-semester capstone sequence. The culminating event is designed to leverage best practices in literature related to team-building, competitions, student leadership, real-project case studies, and high-impact practices.Literature related to these practices is embedded throughout the paper as it describes the overallstructure and design.
