In just a few months, CDC deployed Cell Podium’s m-outreachtechnology in two campaigns. In the first campaign, the CDC Emergency Operations Center ispushing videos to the cell phones of health care workers in Haiti that describe the guidelines

Besides teaching both undergraduate and graduate design and education related classes at Stanford University, she conducts research on engineering education and work-practices, and applied finite element analysis. From 1999-2008 she served as a Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, leading the Foundation’s engineering study (as reported in Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field). In addition, in 2011 Dr. Sheppard was named as co-PI of a national NSF innovation center (Epicenter), and
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. Dr. McKenna’s research focuses on understanding the cognitive and social processes of design, design teaching and learning, the role of adaptive expertise in design and innovation, the impact and diffusion of education innovations, and teaching approaches of engineering faculty. Dr. McKenna received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley.Betty J Harper, Pennsylvania State University, University Park Betty Harper is the director of Student Affairs Research and Assessment at Penn State.

Dr. Das teaches a variety of courses ranging from freshmen to advanced graduate level such as Mechanics of Materials, Introductory and Advanced Finite Element Method, Engineering Design, Introduction to Mechatronics, Mechatronic Modeling and Sim- ulation, Mathematics for Engineers, Electric Drives and Electromechanical Energy Conversion. He led the effort in the college to start several successful programs: an undergraduate major in Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering, a graduate certificate in Advanced Electric Vehicles. Dr. Das’s areas of research interests are modeling and simulation of multi-disciplinary engineering problems
succeed and “need to begrown via in-house training or experience” [Adcock et al., 2015]. For example, NASA developedthe Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program (SELDP) to provide “developmentactivities, training, and education” to more quickly cultivate systems engineers [Ryschkewitch etal., 2009].Universities have responded to the growing market demand for systems engineers in a range ofways, from adding or further emphasizing elements of systems engineering to existing courses(e.g., capstone design courses; see Chaput [2016]), to creating entire programs in systemsengineering (e.g., Stevens Institute of Technology). How effective are these efforts, how can theybe improved, and, can we identify a set of best practices in doing such

Others have argued strongly for the need tobetter align writing tasks with industry practice [1], where engineers are viewed as writers [70].MethodsStudy design and research purposeWe sought to develop an innovative and collaborative cross-campus approach to supporting thedevelopment of technical writing, and desired to understand the impacts of our approach. Wewere guided by the tenets of design-based research, the hallmark research method of the learningsciences [71-73]. In this approach, researchers develop and test their theories about how tosupport learning by designing learning experiences and implementing them under normalclassroom conditions. In this study, we report on the first
