After graduation, he continued at the university as a research associate of Prof. Klaus Ehrlenspiel. The research focuses were cost driven product development and systems engineering. He finalised his dissertation in 1979 at the Technical University Munich. In the years to follow, he held leading positions at Renk AG, Augsburg, in divisions such as mechanical engineering design and
competencies havebeen mastered. The rationale for involving freshmen in a real world experience during anintroductory course was to help build an appreciation for the roles that engineers play in solvingintractable challenges, and instill design thinking concepts and processes early on in students’college experiences.From a pedagogical standpoint, we were interested in answering three questions: (i) canfreshmen engineering students generate real world, actionable infrastructure data for themunicipality? (ii) can students effectively use the design thinking process to engage with anengineering problem?, and (iii) can students work in multidisciplinary teams and effectivelyengage in a collaborative problem solving process? To answer these questions

And then after spending a couple weeks on the site I’m like okay I understand now, I understand how all these different aspects of it are important.” Hypothesis 2c: Increased interest in pursuing an engineering career with global impact “It has changed how I view the field of engineering…I didn’t think an engineer 62% would need to

As part of theirexploration students were introduced to the possibility of using GIS in their creative process andgiven a deck of ‘geo-design cards’. These design-process cards, originally created for an upper-level GIS course, help students apply creative exploration tactics using GIS processes.

These two approaches (on the track and off) seem tosupport the finding that domain issues (in this case spatial reasoning) were more of a challenge tothe success of the programmers than understanding the ‘language’ over time.Relating Problem Solving Approaches to Learning The participants did not naturally take to ‘designing’ as a separate activity form coding.Unless directed otherwise, most would skip to directly programming the device. Initially firstthis could be a desire to ‘play with the robot’ but skipping planning persists through the hoursession, each day, even after planning proved a successful strategy. The act of planning does notseemingly a natural trait in novices, as

tableeditor). The students were asked to take an agile approach to the design and development oftheir tools. A design document and a test plan were developed initially and evolved as theimplementation code was created. While teams were allowed to use any agile approach theywished, most teams used a variant of the scrum framework to manage this project. This was nottoo surprising since the scrum framework was the first agile approach they experienced indetail. The teams did not have a scrum master assigned to assist them. The teaching assistantsplayed the role of customers or product owners. Table 4: Course Modules Modules Description SE

framework. To start, weexamined the similarities and differences in the ways these other scholars represented humancompetencies. We noticed that both scholars included the “thriving” component at the top oftheir diagram despite describing flourishing and self-actualization as ongoing processes and notend goals. Furthermore, both scholars represent their main competencies in distinct categoriesfrom each other. Many positive psychology researchers group together the competencies that arehighly correlated to reduce redundancies in their frameworks. Finally, both scholars includedcompetencies that reflect those determined in engineering thriving, including achievement (suchas academic performance or mastering skills), interpersonal (such as
well as in engineering-relatedsubjects [7]. Aleta also stated that the engineering design experience was found to be the mainindicator of academic achievements in both math and related engineering subjects [7]. Self-efficacy is defined as one’s belief in one’s ability to achieve a specific task or succeedin a particular area by achieving the intended results [8]. For students, this may dictate theiracademic execution from a cognitive aspect, as their personal efficacy can positively influencetheir outlook on performance and potential to succeed. Bandura illustrates the importance ofacademic self-efficacy by asserting that “students’ beliefs in their efficacy to regulate their ownlearning and to master academic activities determine their

It must aimto ensure that the producers of technology can be mastered and managed to promote socialand economic well-being” (Item 55, p 69).“An important principle which is enshrined in this report is the idea that the universalcharacter of technology necessarily constitutes a unifying mechanism and levelling forcebetween the social classes within the education system” (Item 55, p 70)Technology is seen tobe something different to science, and a separate programme is required for its development. To this end the French Ministry of Education decided to introduce a curriculum onTechnologie in which the principal teaching method would be the project (Item 54). In orderto

For example, one respondent noted “passion to learn moreoutside of the classroom” and another noted “getting something worthwhile.” These studentsappear to possess a desire to learn about the material.Higher achieving students also noted that concerns around the efficiency of their studying alsomotivated change. Unlike lower achieving students, who simply stated grades as their entireresponse, higher achieving students indicated they “notice what works” and sought to be moreefficient with their time. Responses which included a theme of efficiency often indicated a themeof a set goal, such as “produce quality work” coupled with a concern about the time it took toachieve that goal. The issue of time and

This is furtheredby the next survey response correlation [Q4 and Q14, p = 0.030, Corr -0.452].While faculty did not generally believe that writing was an effective tool for engineering education,they did show a relationship for their engagement in professional writing and their belief that it isimportant for students to write well. The faculty who often engage in professional writing see animportance in correctly educating engineering undergraduates how to perform it, but do not viewwriting itself as a powerful educational tool in engineering education. This places writing in aninteresting location, where it is important for engineers to learn how to do (and master), but
