It was taughtusing the Prometheus course management system once. In 2002, the course was move tothe Blackboard course management system. It was taught using the Desire-to-Learn(D2L) course management system from 2003. This DOE course provides experience in planning, conducting, and analyzingstatistically designed experiments using the Taguchi methods. The primary objective ofthe course is to educate and train students in the quantitative and qualitative methods forquality planning, measurement

These plans are created bydrawing traditional orthographic drawings (top, front, side views) of their project. In addition tothese views, students draw perspective sketches of various angled views to illustrate andcommunicate their concept in three dimensions. Examples of these perspective sketches include:drawings of characters in action, called character sheets, typical eye level

We propose that this is anauthentic way to demonstrate achievement of the ABET professional skills outcomes.Literature SearchTraditional methods of educating engineers have come under considerable criticism in the pasttwo decades. Studies have found shortcomings in what was once the standard engineeringcurriculum. In 1994, a report released by the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) explained that, in addition to engineering fundamentals, an “understanding of thesocietal context of engineering” should be taught to students1. Explaining the role of engineeringas an “integral process of societal change” had been put forward previously in a paper thatencouraged educators to create an

Each project group is required to give three oral presentations during the semester. Thepresentation topics are project proposal, midterm review, and final design. The semesterconcludes with submission of a comprehensive design report.The spring semester includes less time in the classroom and more spent building and testing thedesigns. Students are required to develop a comprehensive test plan to prove the specificationsdeveloped in the fall semester. They then fabricate and test the design, and in most cases,proceed directly to redesign

As of late, there has been a push to get more engineering content into high schoolcurriculums. Today several state education standards address engineering to some degree, butthere is considerable variation among those state standards, and the national effort to introducesuch standards is still in its infancy. Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering is currentlyconducting a study (due out in March 2010) on K-12

In this later format, the students prepare complete constructiondocuments (structural calculations, structural plans and structural specifications) for realmasonry structures using architectural plans. Understanding of the construction process ofmasonry structures is highly emphasized in the process of preparing the construction documents.As a result of this two tier coverage of design of masonry structures, graduates from this programhave earned a reputation in California of “being ready on day one” after

As students progress acrosscourses, we plan to collect longitudinal data to measure improvement in student problem-framing skills across semesters or even years.MethodsThe research team developed an initial rubric for the NIC based upon four different levels:beginner, emerging, developing, and informed designer for each of the four sub-categories in theNIC (stakeholders, stakeholder needs, needs statement, and information gathering).

The hands-on projectbased activities will also strengthen students’ skills in critical thinking, communication,collaboration, and creativity/innovation. These skills have been identified by top U.S. companiesas priorities for employee development, talent management and succession planning. It is onlynatural for STEM education to incorporate hands-on practical applications at every stage of astudent’s education.

Teams of 3-5 teachers representing a variety of schoolscreated the challenges and posted videos of their plans on an online web-based platform(Edthena, ©2017). Teachers from other teams and the workshop leaders provided feedback onthe online platform about how well the proposed engineering design challenge would allowstudents to engage in engineering design practices. The teachers then revised their plans anduploaded new videos of their work for additional feedback. Both sets of videos were evaluatedand scored using the same engineering design challenge rubric that included criteria such as theopen-endedness of the problem, use of constraints and criteria, and the potential for

May 2012, has been developed from the ground up to not be anengineering discipline-specific program, but to provide students training with an emphasis onengineering design, systems thinking, and sustainability. Our vision is to produce cross-disciplinary engineer versatilists. One important place in the curriculum where this is achieved isthe six course (10-credit) design sequence which is the spine of the curriculum. Starting withthe sophomore design courses (Engineering Design I and II), the focus is on teaching studentsthe process of design including the phases of planning, concept development, system-leveldesign, detail design, as well as testing and refinement. Grounded on a novel and multi-dimensional problem-based learning (PBL
