One of the strategies used to accomplish this goal is to embed design intothe computer graphics course sequence.According to the Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary the definition of the termembedded is to make something an integral part of the topic, which is the objective in allthree of the courses in the computer graphics sequence. The theoretical basis for usingthe embedded approach in these courses is illustrated in an article by Sutton, (2004) 5, atPurdue University involving problem-solving research outside of technology education tohelp examine the relationship

Industrial leaders long expressed amounting concern about the impact of traditional engineering education on the creative potentialof future engineers. A lack of creativity is viewed as problematic in a rapidly changingtechnology-oriented world where generating new ideas is essential to survival.9 In addition,industry has perceived new BS engineering graduates as lacking design capability or creativity,as well as an appreciation for considering alternatives. Further, a 1995 ASME report rankedcreative thinking as 5th of 56 top desired “best practices” for new BS-level engineers as seen byindustry and academe.10 In the past several years

She did not cite scientific evidence or pedagogical best practices to support her belief that it is a problem if universities think of their students as customers who should be satisfied, and it is not a problem if students aren’t coming to class.

A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library.

Major investments bythe National Science Foundation, US Department of Education, and other agencies have beendirected at understanding the issues and identifying solutions to student learning. For many,based on the research, students learn best when they set goals for their study, engage in activestudy, add meaning to what they are learning, explain their understanding to others, and self-monitor their success in achieving goals3-6.Accepting the challenge to address and understand retention issues of engineering students, theCollaborative Learner-constructed Engineering-concept Articulation and Representation(CLEAR) project has as its goal to develop a model for instructional

It seemed that beingable to process together was as important as the content shared in these sessions.While the pandemic caused disruption in many projects, it also provided motivated students towork in creative new ways. A benefit of the move to online is that the students could not tinkerand figure things out, but instead had to thoroughly plan and execute their projects.
