design project “isincorporated into the engineering classroom it allows for a unique blend of creativity andchallenge that is often hard to accommodate in introductory engineering curriculum”. While thefirst implementation of the project was by no means perfect, we look forward to improving andre-implementing the project, both because of the valuable skills it develops in the students andbecause of the enthusiasm, excitement, and engagement that was evident in the students.References1.Jordan, S. & Pereira, N.

eight designers in industry who were invited to evaluate senior design projects in the fall of2019. They appreciated the addition of large interdisciplinary teams with increased complexityand scope, but noted that those projects were in a completely different category from thoseproduced by smaller single-discipline teams. They added that they were only interested inreviewing the interdisciplinary projects.References[1] S. Datar, D. Garvin, & P.

shortcomingsrelated to student academic achievement and persistence in the medium as central to theirconcern. 73.5% of the chief academic officers surveyed about online learning in 2012 indicatedthat the low persistence rate of students in online courses was likely to be a key barrier tocontinued growth of the medium.1Studies suggest that the persistence rate to degree for students in online programs can be as lowas 60%3, and therefore addressing the root cause(s) of this shortcoming represents a significantopportunity for improving the acceptance and impact of online education. While 88.8% ofacademic leaders believe that lower retention rates are due to a lack of discipline on the part ofthe online learner1, various studies indicate that the extent to which

in these steam engines by JohnSmeaton between 1765 and 1772 increased the engines’ efficiency to around 1.4%, a noteworthyincrease. Even after the more famous, and more efficient, Boulton & Watt engines weredeveloped in the 1770’s, the simpler and very reliable Newcomen engines continued to be builtfor the purpose of pumping water from coal mines up until the 1820’s. Coal mines had a readysupply of unsellable “slack coal” as the fuel which influenced the decision about whichtechnology to use. The last operational Newcomen engine was retired around 1930.1design process overviewThe project followed the methodology set forth in Engineering Design – A Project-BasedApproach, by Dym and Little.4 Figure 3 – A
defined as the ability to easily be moved or carried1. A key component of manymilitary systems is their ability to be quickly assembled/disassembled, moved to differentlocations, and to use minimum manpower and equipment in order to accomplish the mission.One problem in redesigning systems to increase portability is that there is not currently anestablished rubric for measuring portability. The portability of a system is a function of severaldifferent aspects. We have developed a rubric to measure a system’s portability. The rubricincludes 18 parameters (Table 1) as discussed in detail below.In order to use the rubric, each of the 18 portability measures identified above is quantified forthe system(s) being evaluated. This information can then be
decisions when they lack complete information. In contrast many design textbooks describe a much more rational decision-making process. This finding suggests that the cognitive literature in heuristics and decision-making can provide a theoretical foundation for understanding why students have difficulty enacting the design process as described in textbooks.

method that employs this tactic, and has been used toadvance our understanding of the cognitive processes of engineering students during a design task,is Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA). During VPA data collection, subjects are asked to think aloudwhile performing a task [19]. This form of data collection does not assume that subjects have accessto their cognitive processes, but they are able to report the contents of short-term memory. Fromthese verbal reports, we can gain insights into how subjects generate and transform informationabout the problem, and how they go about developing a solution.Verbal Protocol Analysis has been used extensively since the 1970’s to study the cognitiveprocesses of engineering students [20- 23] as well as

We would like to investigate whether students were morelikely to see the relevance of chemistry knowledge in their engineering work after completingthe individual projects in addition to the design challenge.More broadly, we will continue to study the impacts of redesigning course elements, both in thiscourse and in others, as our College continues its initiative to incorporate design and computingacross the curriculum.References[1] K.
