and design has proven significantly more challenging thanintegrating writing and design. Even when public speaking deliverables are directly tiedto a design project, students often feel that the presentation is an afterthought. Indeed, inmany cases the design is completed (or a significant milestone is reached) before thepresentation is prepared. Thus, public speaking is often associated with design, but not asan integral part of designing. In this course, students give several mid-semesterpresentations as part of an ongoing design project, where they are given feedback byengineering faculty and their peers. As a result of this feedback, many students havecome to realize that this form of communication is an important part of

Experience in a First-Year Engineering CourseAbstractThis research paper describes the integration of design experience in a first-yearengineering course at University of Michigan-Flint. To develop knowledge and skillswithin first-year engineering students, the integration of design curriculum inintroductory engineering courses is important. A study was conducted among the first-year students who worked in teams with senior students on engineering capstone projects.The primary objective was to provide a comprehensive experience in product design anddevelopment processes such as teamwork, design, analysis, manufacturing, etc. Anotherobjective was to develop a peer-mentor relationship between these students to

In thispaper, we ask: From an instructional perspective, how can learning outcomes be better observed so thatfaculty can provide appropriate guidance and occasional control? What are the sources of this diversity oflearning within student groups? How do the ways that engineering students interact in team networkenvironments matter for the skills that they develop through this experience? Scholars working in thescience of learning argue that peer-relations form a social context of knowledge creation that constitutes afoundation for the development of team-skills. In this paper, we show how peer relations develop, andsubsequently provide knowledge and learning resources within multi-ranked student teams over time

Question 3: Do students whose reflections on doing are assessed to be more insightful focus on different “doings” than their peers? What can we infer by text mining the data about the ways that ‘insightful’ students write their LS? We anticipate certain patterns to emerge, given our intentional effort to tie eachassignment to successive POED over the course of the design process; see Figure 1.
