skills.The question of student motivation is an interesting one. The goal is to intrinsically motivatestudents, but we know from our own experience and from research studies that most situationsinvolve a mixture of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors. As a clear example, considerhow many students would submit a design report documenting their work if it was not beinggraded and the only motivation to do so was to get experience writing and to get formativefeedback from the instructor to improve their writing skills. The book chapter Motivation toLearn in College Science14 details various factors that influence college student motivation andlists some practical suggestions for increasing it, including showing relevance of activities
introductory class in technology, Technology and Society (ENTC 3020),students learn how technology has changed the way we live and is another greatopportunity to embed the innovation process into existing core curriculum coursework.Unfortunately this course is currently taught as a “filler course” where professors whohave the need for a class to fill out their schedule are assigned to teach the course andseveral professors view the course as a burden rather than an opportunity. Two of theauthors have taught this course in the past and utilize it as an opportunity to discuss howthe new innovation changed the dominant design of the time and how that changeimpacted history. This helps the student to understand the impact that a new innovationcan have on

This can be a challengedue to lack of resources and limited time available in engineering curriculums.Fostering the maker spaces environment may be one solution to cultivating creativity andinnovation in universities. Maker spaces can become a supplemental part of traditionalengineering education by offering a different way of learning. The benefits of maker spaces oneducation have been

The idea behind the case study was that students willgain an understanding of why the structure failed through a reverse engineering process, and thendetermine the best way to improve it. The case study was completed in teams of 3-4. TargetEML skills for the activity included the importance of clearly communicating designs, evaluatingcustomer needs, and communication within a group and with the customer.During the first class period of the module, the students travel back in time to the 1980’s wherethey are engineers in Kansas City, Missouri, having a meeting with the management of theCrown Center Redevelopment Corporation (the course instructor, i.e. customer).

He spends a great deal of time looking for ways to break out of the traditional engineering mold and to make engineering more broadly accessible to students. His research interest is the application of mobile computing to interesting, human-focused problems.

Engineering design is the process of using iterative cycle of defining problems,gathering solution ideas, and systematically selecting, testing, optimizing and communicatingsolutions. Researchers stress that engineering design is not simply the application of sciencecontent1,10. Rather, engineering design is a particular problem-solving practice “involving acomplex mixture of knowledge, process, and the enabling of skills or graduate attributes neededfor professional practice”6 (p. 2).

Historically, steps have been taken to improve teaching preparedness of future and earlycareer faculty. These include the formation of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), theNational Science Foundation’s (NSF) support of the Center for the Integration of Research,Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL), and the Association of American Colleges and Universities(AACU) initiation of the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) programs, which aims to eliminate gapsin career development of graduate students [2], [15] [16].

The design project was structured so that faculty research and pre-project prep wouldguide/facilitate the work, not dictate the final results. This working method allowed for a greatdegree of student input (far greater than any other capstone deign project), but it also meant thatstudents were operating with reserved confidence and expectations. In the end, there was a gooddegree of original/inventive design, but stereotypes of engineers and artists prevailed.
