The learning experience inthis course is expected to motivate the first-year students towards engineering andprepare them for future engineering design projects.IntroductionIn addition to knowledge developed through courses in the engineering program, it isnecessary to familiarize students with product design and the development process as it isone of the important competencies engineering students must develop throughout theireducational and professional careers. The desired learning outcome of this course was toprepare students for their engineering education and professional occupations.Knowledge and

Because of our hands-on nature and our learn-by-doingphilosophy, Cal Poly engineering graduates are known in the industries of the State ofCalifornia as industry-ready upon graduation. This change in our design curriculum hasenhanced our reputation even more. Industrial participants in our design sequenceinclude Boeing, Solar Turbines, Parker Hannifin, the Golden Gate Bridge, the DeutschesMuseum, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and a host of other companies.

In this 21st century,students need to acquire career focused knowledge and skills expected by the industry. Tomeet those industry requirements and societal needs as a graduate, student’s level ofachievements have to be assessed appropriately.

It is unreasonable to cover the many engineering disciplines in oneintroductory course. Instead, an uncoverage approach should be taken as suggested in Calder’sUncoverage: Towards a Signature Pedagogy for the History Survey6. Thus, the design projectswhich are aimed to inspire students to learn about engineering and train them for challenging andcreative career opportunities should be carefully determined in regard to the discipline areas offocus. Subject areas in mechanical, electrical, and computer science surface due to theirfundamental roles in serving other disciplines. After

Following are some example promptsgiven to the students for reflection:1) Draw a concept map that shows the connections you have made between engineering andstorytelling.2) What does "Storytelling with Machines" mean for you personally beyond the class?3) What were your top 3 learnings from this class? Why?4) What was the most challenging aspect of the class?5) How will you apply what you learned in this class in your career?These reflections prompted the students to think about the connections they were able to makebetween storytelling and engineering, reflect on the challenges and successes, and lessons learntthrough the process of

To remedy this perceived problem, the authors were inspired by the workof Butterfield and Branch [1] where seniors ‘hired’ freshman students to assist in the laboratorycomponent of the Capstone Design experience. In their work, freshman participants self-reportedhaving learned important engineering concepts, and also gained insight into their future careertrajectory.Our approach

Studentsspend a great deal of time and suffer sleepless nights deciding which stream to enter, notknowing at the start what they will end up looking like at the end, nor what sort of careeropportunities they will have when they graduate.

The students are intheir final year of study and are preparing to transition out to the workforce, graduate studies, orto the military or public service.According to the 2005 comprehensive national survey of capstone design programs conducted byHowe[1], 98% of the 444 engineering programs at the 262 responding institutions (representingabout 26% of all programs) included capstone projects as

MotivationThe transfer literature is filled with varying definitions and frameworks about what constitutestransfer. While it is not the intent of the authors to advocate for a particular framework, it isimportant to articulate the theoretical background from which our work originates.

Product dissection provides “hands-on”activities to couple engineering principles with significant visual feedback10,11,12 (Barr 2000,Lamancusa, 1996, Otto, 2001), and such “learning by doing” activities encourage thedevelopment of curiosity, proficiency and manual dexterity, three desirable traits of an engineer13(Beaudin, 1995). Dissection also gives students early exposure to functional products andprocesses, and introducing such experiences early in the students’ academic careers has beenshown to increase motivation and retention14 (Carlson 1997).While many benefits to product dissection have been identified

Viewedfrom a cynical point of view, problems may appear to students as “cooked-up” , perhaps a bitstale, and in some cases students expect that they are not “real” design projects... after all, theyare just assignments in a university course, not design in the “Real World”.

Thisapproach has been a success with respect to the students and the sponsors.
