Therefore, future collaborations will include eitherthe bioinspired robotics course or electromechanical systems course, both which have smallerclass sizes.Preliminary results [7,8] suggest that the instruments developed for collaborations 1(engineering design process) and 3 (computational thinking) may not be sensitive enough todetect changes in content knowledge.

].Aesthetics in engineering, utilizing objects from nature, is being stressed by modern industrial designers,whether in building architecture or in the design of a shopping mall. Industrial design is in the domain ofvisual education applicable in fine arts and performing arts. The pioneering works of Leonardo da Vinciare some the earlier examples in the Hellenistic-Judeo-Christian cultures that convey the importance ofaesthetic aspects in mechanical design [4]. His extensive note books and sketch pads on all mechanicalmodels, ranging from water pumps to helicopters, put aesthetics on a solid foundation in the domain ofdesign, and reflect the union between beauty and technology, harmony and synthesis, art and artisan’swork in a creative endeavor.Over

billion pounds of plastics were manufactured in the US. What questions does this statement raise for you?After students list as many questions as possible, they could be instructed to improve them andprioritize them. In my case, the next step was for groups of four students to compare theirquestions and prepare a team list. The list of student questions does not necessarily need to beturned in. But if they are, they can be used to drive lecture material or as an assessment ofstudent curiosity. The questions in fall 2019 reflected a wide variety of interests on the students’part. Some focused attention on the environmental issues, some on the material property issues,some on the industries that use plastics the most. By better understanding

Students iteratively design the helmet using practical arts and crafts materials and engage in testing to determine the performance of their design. Students also reflect on their designs to influence further iterations. On day 3, students use the engineering design cycle to iteratively design surgical tools. Students evaluate their tools by performing mock surgeries on gelatin models to remove embedded masses. Students evaluate their tool performance and use that to inform further design improvements. On day 4, students revise their tools to enhance performance and prepare for day 5 challenges. The day 5 competition includes

He identified as an “extremeprofessional.” William described that he deliberately did not bring his family to work events,attend happy hours, or befriend coworkers. Because he described this separation as being “basedon race,” we interpreted his experience as inauthentic in comparison to the White participants.William also experienced isolation because of the lack of peers on his level in the workplace.Structural racism was reflected in various forms throughout the interviews.

We can perform such analysis from two perspectives. One is a cloze-like task wheregiven the context of the word of interest, we can make predictions on the grammatical andsemantical representations, and the other is to perform classification on words with character-level information. To extract as much information as possible, we need to leverage both word-level and token-level information. We propose to use a machine learning model, an ensemble of5 models trained on different

For example, students should be able to monitor and recognize how well theyunderstand engineering content knowledge, calibrate the difficulty level of thelearning tasks, and recognize what strategic learning skills they would need tosucceed (Dunlosky & Rawson, 2012).Research suggests that the levels of students’ self-awareness and self-confidencecould positively or negatively affect learning (Finn & Tauber, 2015).

Engineeringknowledge is not value neutral and—depending on how it is selected, organized, demarcated,delivered, and evaluated—it can have discriminatory effects on different populations (e.g., [5]–[7]. Often students are implicitly asked to leave aspects of themselves at the door before enteringthe classroom in order to learn “objective” engineering knowledge [8]. This history of theengineering profession means that class biases were baked into its educational systems, helping toexplain why students from low-income and working-class backgrounds describe the culture andcontent of undergraduate engineering programs as foreign, if not hostile (e.g., [9]).

While historically, an independentstudy course has been a more common approach for academic credit, more recently stand-alonecourses such as Humanitarian Design Projects and/or integrated programs such as the EPICSprogram at Purdue and other universities are becoming more common.[7-9] This manuscriptpresents the Humanitarian Design Projects course, its structure and major assignments, andprovides evaluation data and reflections on the successes and challenges of implementing thecourse in its current form.2

With computational modeling, the only difference is during the manipulation ofequations the student should let the computer do most of the work. Students write out the firstpart of the problem before they start modifying code. Students are encouraged to transition from amathematical description to a code model by rewriting the equations in terms of variable namesas pseudo-code before typing anything into the computer. The questions that make up the activitythen ask students to reflect on their results, which takes the place of the evaluation step whenworking homework problems.Great pains
