using 3D printing. Inthe first implementation of the project, only 2 teams out of 12 were able to produce a successful3D print on their first attempt. In order to increase the success of the 3D printing, a mentorshipprogram was developed between mechanical engineering students taking an additivemanufacturing lab as a technical elective and first-year engineering students. Prior to submittinga design for printing, the first-year student teams were required to submit it to their assignedmentor, who provided feedback on the design. In the first semester (fall 2018), only studentteams in the honors section of the EDSGN course were partnered with senior mentors. In thefollowing semesters, this mentorship program was offered to all students in the

methodologies and expectations within specific engineeringdisciplines is an important first step in developing a curriculum that enables engineers to workacross those disciplines. An instrument that supports the analysis of a Faculty’s progressiontowards this end is a valuable addition to the engineering design educator’s toolbox.Introduction and MotivationThe goal of this project was to design an instrument to assess the student perception ofengineering design and how it evolves through courses and over time. The instrument design wasinformed by examining four capstone design courses from across the Faculty of Applied Scienceand Engineering at the University of Toronto; more specifically, from the disciplines ofChemical, Electrical & Computer

Prior to this position, he was the Associate Chair of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech – Savannah. He was also the Founding Director of the Systems Realization Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of
mechanical engineers can impart directly with stakeholders and users.Because items imagined can be within the size of consumer products where solutions may besimply created and mocked up (Brandt, 2007), there is a unique opportunity to better understandthese students’ behaviors in designing and prototyping.This research project explores how a cohort of senior mechanical engineering students candesign and prototype solutions for a problem today, and how their solutions are changed whenasked to be placed out into the future. We are curious about the similarities and differences intheir approaches along aspects of the design process (cognition) and in the design result(artifacts). This project allows us to explore how engineering students conceive of
benefit from these concepts. The visualization, parametric abilities,and embedded information lend themselves similar to hydrologic and runoff design, (4)transportation engineering (5), and in aspects of geotechnical design.

, undergraduateengineering education lacks such interdisciplinary training. This is unfortunate as creative andgroundbreaking design concepts often arise from investigations that span academic boundaries.Indeed, even learning to communicate effectively between engineering and other sciences can bea precious learning experience. In this study, we report on a unique collaborative effort betweenorganismal biology and mechanical engineering that was undertaken to provide an undergraduatecross-training experience. The project involved the creation of an articulated physical model of abullfrog skeleton with mechanical joints that mimicked realistic prey strike movements.

Mind the gapThe call for more design experience in engineering curricula draws attention to a problem indesign education that engineering educators have noted for quite some time. Traditionalengineering programs lack curricular coherence when it comes to design. Students typicallyhave design experiences during introductory coursework (or “cornerstone” courses2) as freshmenand then again later as seniors during capstone projects or seminars. Thus, design experiencescomprise disjointed bookends in students‟ college careers. Their sophomore and junior years aredevoted

productive, effective, and innovative.Keywords: interdisciplinary collaboration, group formation, self-organizing unitsI. IntroductionWork teams are often led by project managers and situated in a large organizational environmentwhere routine and predictability are valued. In certain settings, such as in open source softwaredevelopment,1 groups can form without traditional project management structure in a looselycoordinated environment that is both self-organizing and self-managing. This concept of self-organizing invests group members with a greater commitment to be productive, effective, andinnovative. However, there has still been little discussion about self-organizing teams in aneducational setting. By breaking down disciplinary divisions to

that provide a significant design experience. While most engineering programs around theworld introduce design at distinct points in a curriculum, such as freshman and capstone design courses,we present the concept of a “4-D” design pedagogy, where design is integrated across courses, semesters,years, and extra-curricular activities. This pedagogy, or framework, may be implemented in whole or inpart in any engineering program.Building on this design pedagogy, we present the context of designiettes in terms of educational theories,the I-Engineering, and assessment. We then explore the strategic development and use of designiettes,and present a literature review on small scale design project efforts as they relate to the concept ofdesigniettes

Specifically, ourresearch seeks to explore the role that computational and analytical abilities play in innovation inthe context of engineering design education. We apply the learning framework of adaptiveexpertise to focus our work and guide the research. Using the adaptive expertise framework,with a specific focus on computational/analytical knowledge, we document the type of evidencestudents do (or do not) use when selecting possible design alternatives, appropriate models ormethods of analysis, and when interpreting the results to justify their decisions.We analyzed student design project reports from different academic years, and from differentengineering disciplines.

’ perceptions of these notebooks.Types of engineering notebooksA brief review of the literature reveals that engineering notebooks can take many formsand be used for many purposes. For example, Tillema and Smith (2000)24 identified threedistinct types: 1. A dossier is a notebook or portfolio that is completed at the end of a project or course to “collect mandated documentation on performance. In this case, the portfolio construction is not necessarily based on a learning orientation” (p. 194)24. 2. A learning portfolio is a living document used to evaluate learning over the course of the project or semester. 3. A reflective portfolio is also a living document, in which the author records his or her
