studies focused on solving is at the core of adistinction that we wish to draw attention to between ‘problem-solving’ and the solving ofproblems.According to a joint executive report from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and theNational Endowment for the Arts (NEA), student skills in engineering problem-solving(specifically in electrical engineering and computer science) are in dire need of a boost. Thereport states that “undergraduate and graduate students who study electrical engineering andcomputer science lack the ability or self-efficacy to create new ideas and innovations that stretchbeyond rote classroom exercises”1.Other high-profile reports agree: The National Academy of Engineering lamented in 2004 that“engineering students are not

regarding the need to modify the engineering curriculum in order to betterprepare engineering graduates to face the new challenges that the current engineeringenvironment presented. In 1994, “industry and academe realized that their concerns were thesame, [therefore] they began to mobilize through ABET, the organization responsible for settingthe standards of engineering education” (ABET, 2004, p. 1). As a result, the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) acknowledged this call from industry andeducational leaders, and started working towards changing the standards of engineeringeducation in order to guarantee that engineering students not only have an education in thetechnical disciplines of engineering but also in human

Additionally, diverse teams per-form better than more homogeneous ones, thus yielding higher productivity and higher yields forcompanies [4, 5]. The 2019 McKinsey Report on diversity moves this discussion directly intocorporate profits. Based on their analysis of top-ranked companies, the “...most diverse companiesare now more likely than ever to outperform less diverse peers on profitability” [5, online].Further, students who matriculate with engineering degrees have access to some of the highest-paying jobs upon graduation [6]. Since there is a well-established correlation between povertyand race [7], engineering can be a path that students take to help

). Further, as we continually share LS ‘bestpractices’ in AME4163 we create opportunities for social knowledge constructionthrough interactions to come into play. We posit that engineering design educationstands to benefit from the incorporation of robust learning theories pioneered inother disciplines. In this paper, we leverage a text-mining approach to demonstrate aframework for interpreting LS data collected from students in the course,AME4183, through the lens of educational theories. Specifically, we identify eachstudent’s ZPD by text-mining students’ LSs over the course of a DBT project andexamine the differences between the LSs students prepare. We find that, for manystudents, reflecting on authentic immersive activities in a DBT

Another study with a range ofactivities, found that faculty members that did not participate in the continuing interaction werenot significantly different from a noninvolved control group, while faculty members that fullyparticipated showed a statistically significant attitude change.39Aside from not allowing time for sequential development, the develop-disseminate model cancreate an adversarial relationship between the developer and the potential adopters and, by itsone-size-fits-all assumption, it neglects important local factors, such as expectations of contentcoverage, lack of instructor time, department norms, student resistance, class size, room layout,and time structure.12 When others

To illustrate, it is essential that theelastic constant of the femoral stem in a hip replacement match the elastic constant of bone orbone loss will occur from stress shielding. Conceptually this is very easy for the student tograsp. Since ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is used in orthopedic wear components, itis possible to conceptually link the required mechanical properties of components to the effect ofthe degree of polymerization, examine the difference between semi-crystalline and amorphousplastics, and probe wear properties.
