Paper ID #22639ROS as an Undergraduate Project-based Learning EnablerDr. Stephen Andrew Wilkerson P.E., York College of Pennsylvania Stephen Wilkerson (swilkerson@ycp.edu) received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1990 in Mechanical Engineering. His Thesis and initial work was on underwater explosion bubble dynamics and ship and submarine whipping. After graduation he took a position with the US Army where he has been ever since. For the first decade with the Army he worked on notable programs to include the M829A1 and A2 that were first of a kind composite saboted munition. His travels have taken him to Los

Two main questionsare explored: 1) do students working on self-guided, problem-based projects, engage in active inquiry? and2) is there alignment between exemplar active inquiry projects and other assessments?

-Progress: Constructing a prediction model of creativity and cognitive concept connections based on learning portfolioAbstractThe skills required of new employees by industry are increasingly interdisciplinaryand creativity-related because of a paradigm shift in target markets. Engineeringeducation should therefore focus on helping students develop their creativity andcritical thinking skills. A student’s level of creativity is usually evaluated byexamining his or her final projects. However, the language that students use indiscussions and interactions can be analyzed to determine their cognitive processesand thus their creativity.
