courses.Development of metacognitive and critical process skills, in addition to mastering technicalcontent, can better equip engineers to be capable of creative application of their knowledge.Creativity is a foundational requirement for innovation and another of our Academy’s sevenacademic program goals. One important aspect of creativity is the ability to develop multiplepossible solutions for a given problem (referred to as divergent production). Engineering courses,particularly introductory ones, often emphasize finding a single correct answer to each problem(convergent production). Felder (1988) 16 argued that engineering education was “failingabysmally” in teaching divergent production, suggesting that graduates would not be wellequipped to creatively

A major course objectivewas to prepare students for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and the Principles andPractice of Engineering Examination for Environmental Engineers, which currently contains 23air pollution questions (NCEES 2011). During the Spring 2016 semester, in which students weresurveyed, 5 masters-level graduate students and 14 undergraduates (junior and senior-level) wereenrolled in the course. Of the 19 students, 17 were female and 2 were male. Each master’sstudent enrolled in the air pollution course was a member of either the civil and environmentalengineering program or the environmental engineering and science program, and eachundergraduate student

This space was known to be a collaborativeenvironment, and often students were observed working on other courses and forming studygroups. Due to this open collaborative environment, it was likely that students would interactwith others that were not in their laboratory sessions.This active and open environment created and encouraged a complex collaborative learningatmosphere for students. In the OEL students would interact with students in the sameintroductory course, other students (in different engineering courses or other majors),undergraduate teaching assistants, graduate (both doctoral and masters) teaching assistants, andfaculty. The range of interactions in the OEL created both

. Teachers and students also self-reported that using engineering design challenges increasedstudent understanding of academic content. In post-unit surveys, “82.8% of students agreed orstrongly agreed that using challenges was a ‘more effective way to learn’ than how they areusually taught” and 79.5% of teachers agreed or strongly agreed that “their students mastered theunit content” (Morrison et al., 2016, p. 6). Additionally, in the 2015-2016 external evaluation of the program, 96.1% of teachers agreedor strongly agreed that “student engagement increased during engineering design units, asopposed to non-engineering design units” (Morrison et al., 2016, p. 4).

Second, the approach should involvetechnologies that can be mastered quickly by most faculty members, i.e., have a gentle learningcurve. Third, the distribution cost should be negligible, usually involving posting on the Internet.Fourth, the learning materials should be easily maintained and updated; for example, repeatingthe production of an entire video to change a small part would not be practical. We know that we will not be able to achieve the production quality of a science televisionprogram, such as “Nova” on PBS in the United States. That level is not practical for thethousands

aware of unwritten rules, silent cues, body language, and implications. Students should seek to understand issues that are related to the field, even if they aren’t discussed in class. Professors expect that there will be an independent desire to learn more about the topic, above and beyond what may be taught. Students are expected to understand the research and historical context of the field, and be in the process of mastering the practice or techniques that define the lab or research group.3) Differences Students often joke that during their undergraduate years they couldbetween
