, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Dr. Krishna Madhavan is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering Education. In 2008 he was awarded an NSF CAREER award for learner-centric, adaptive cyber-tools and cyber-environments using learning analytics. He leads a major NSF-fundedprojectcalled Deep Insights Anytime, Anywhere (http://www.dia2.org) to characterize the impact of NSF and other federal investments in the area of STEM education. He also serves as co-PI for the Network forComputationalNanotechnology (nanoHUB.org) c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Paper ID #20540

number who completed the survey for thatpopulation and scaling it to 100. Many of the categories aligned with the Likert scale questions.One category that was not included in the Likert scale responses was students who wished theywould have done the other software design project. There were more comments about studentswho wished they could have completed the game project than there were students who wishedthey could have completed the IR project. Figure 7: Student Responses to Open Ended QuestionsStudents viewed the IR project as a realistic, but constrained, experience that can be encounteredin industry. The greatest number of positive comments focused on its applicability to the robotproject, their career, or their life

learneddramatically shifted towards the above average and well above average categories after theimplementation of the 3D technology project. Another set of questions in which the majority of the students agree on their perceivedlearning is shown in Figure 6 for the first year and Figure 8 for year two. In this set of questions theagreement of the students was higher than 60% and lower than 70% for year one and between 80%and 82.6% for year two. Here we can see that the 3D technology project had a high impact in theareas of time management, engineering career awareness and planning, research methods andtechniques, critical thinking concepts, and unit systems and conversions. From previous research wehave confirmed the fact that engineering students

IntroductionDue to the complex nature of software development process, there is an increasing demand forskilled software engineers that is expected to grow more in future [1]. Students are expected tograduate with the necessary skillset for pursuing their careers in software industry. However,research [2] reports that students in academic settings mostly work on small scale projects andlack an exposure to industrial strength artifacts as well as team

, college life could beconsidered the “training wheels” of life. It is the time period when you leave home and yourresponsibilities gradually increase until you a fully responsible for yourself. During that timeperiod, especially if you are living on campus you are exposed to living and learning with otherstudents training for life as well. When receiving a traditional education, the actual collegeexperience includes meal plans, Greek life, sporting events, festivities, etc. [7]Another benefit of receiving a traditional education is the networking. The environment iscomprised of students, faculty and professionals in all degree areas. Prior to graduating, thenetworking students gained can come from the career center, previous professors, or

We previously found a correlation between overall GPA and problemsthat required information outside of class but related to prior knowledge and easily accessible viathe internet.24 Here, we further explore students’ performance on problems that “stretch” thestudent’s thinking to go beyond the question on the page, and to integrate their prior knowledge,draw on their experience, and evoke their curiosity. We use student success on these problems asour measure of engineering intuition, and are interested in identifying the common factors(major, career aspirations

, and are more pragmatic in their attack of the problems. They’re very academically competitive…and they wanted to know more just so they could demonstrate their knowledge and show other students what they had learned on their own before they came to class. - I feel like my groups as a whole showed more interest in STEM, and they liked seeing the application of their knowledge to specific careers. As a whole, I noticed that more introverted students had a voice, and they were more involved in the project than they had been in the past.Also as indicated by the surveys, 89% of the participating teachers would recommend ourtraining on Scratch programming to other teachers, the remaining 11% were neutral, and none ofthe

I will be taking water resources, concrete design and a few other classes that deal with physics which this module can assist in." "I probably wouldn't use this one specifically. I would probably use the other ones more than this one." "Yes, this could be very handy when in the design phase of a prototype of some sort.

project that the students may be involved with in theirfuture careers. Capstone team projects which have become a standard part of (nearly) every en-gineering and computing program have been especially successful in helping to achieve this goal.The second intended goal of such activities is to help students learn the technical, conceptual mate-rial by engaging in suitable activities with their fellow-students rather than just listening passivelyto lectures. At the same time, many engineering and computing faculty have serious concernsabout introducing such activities to any serious extent in their courses; primary among these con-cerns is the potential negative impact of such activities on topic coverage.

The activity also did a great job in teaching real-world situations.  Interesting and provided needed perspectives  It made me feel like I am in the industry. Also it opens my mind to imagine my future career.  It was a good intro into real life application.  This activity showed how little hiccups can turn into big problems.  This was good instruction into the relationship between developers and customers after deployment.  Great activity that made me look at different situations from real life
