To support thispedagogical approach, a sophomore-level capstone course [5] aims to improve computer-lab basedexperimental skills of students on the verge of entering their senior year. Here, as in otherpublications, the importance of working in teams is instilled.By default, the concept of team-based learning [6] seems an obvious choice to groom engineeringstudents to be part of their professional careers. In addition to this, efforts have been done toincorporate a collaborative learning approach [7]. A dedicated method known as the meeting-flowapproach [8] to actively monitor progress and quality of project work shows promise in terms ofmaking students understand the

Prior to joining UCF, Mr. Stresau was a faculty member at Eastern Florida State Col- lege (2006-2012). Mr. Stresau began his industry career in mechanical design and manufacturing (1998), and joined United Space Alliance as an engineer on the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) for the Space Shuttle Program in 2000. In 2004, he transitioned to a senior engineering position in Engineering Integration and Project Management, working with mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, electrical, pyrotechnic, and propul- sion subsystems. Mr. Stresau served in that capacity until the completion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011. Mr

For example, the group maywork with first year students rather than fourth year students. This path may produce insightsinto how students with less formal education think about and design the future.Another avenue of interest is working comparable exercises with practicing engineers who are inthe later parts of their careers. Their greater experience and generally larger knowledge basecould possibly couple together to form quite interesting thoughts on the future and

Design in Engineering Education

Role of Tools In TeachingSince the mid 1990’s, there has been significant pressure applied to engineering educators byaccreditation boards to re-vitalize the real-world, open-ended, hands-on nature of engineering1.Undergraduate engineers are now being taught to design for the man-made environments inwhich they live – environments which widely require tools to be manipulated. Can we expectstudents to understand the process of hands-on design if they cannot engage in it? Although thefirst year design and communication course at the Schulich School of Engineering is not atechnical based course, it is one of the few opportunities students have to become exposed tobasic hand tools during their undergraduate academic careers. As stated by Gaba, “The

Simpletasks take longer than expected, and the plan does not usually allow leeway for unexpectedproblems or events. One instructor stated that students “probably need to experience failure” inorder to understand how difficult design is.Varied views of role of instructor in service-learning programThe instructors saw their role in service-learning

For example, inartistic work, it has been shown that the artists who spend more time finding their “problems”have demonstrably more creative output over those who spend less time, and that this practice oftaking time to explore more of the problem space leads to more creative output not just onindividual projects, but over the course of a career 30. In contrast, a study of engineering coursesfound that even when creativity was explicitly addressed, it was almost always focused onconvergent tasks, rather than divergent ones 31.
