Learning Association, and the National Society for Experiential Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Using Experiential Learning in Course Curriculum: The Case of a Core Engineering Graphics CourseIntroductionIn Fall 2017, Nova Southeastern University (NSU) launched an experiential education andlearning program (ExEL) for all undergraduate students. In this paper, we describe a work-in-progress (WIP) that focuses on the establishment of this university-wide program and the re-design of an engineering graphics course that embeds experiential and active learningpedagogies. The paper is organized as follows. First, a brief overview of experiential educationand relevant theories

toleverage the framework of an existing community of practice within a lab to formalize activitiestargeted at promoting group active learning related specifically to scientific communication.Beginning in the spring of 2017, we integrated various activities aimed at helping students withscientific writing and publishing, into a research group consisting of more than 10 professors andover 30 graduate students and research staff. These activities included communal Writingsessions, Peer support writing groups, and Journal clubs among others. Even with voluntaryparticipation, many lab members participated in the activities, with large group activitiesattracting on average about 35% of the students in the lab. We also discovered that many of themwere

Her work is largely informed by the principles and perspectives on human development and cognition articulated by Cultural Historical Activity Theory. Putting theory into practice, she teaches a service-learning course at UCSC wherein interdisciplinary teams of students work in an layered appren- ticeship model with community mentors to design and implement sustainable solutions to water, energy, waste, transportation and social challenges using ”green technology”. Dr. Ball has worked as a research fellow with two NSF Centers for Learning and Teaching and most recently on several NSF projects that focus the integration of engineering and social
