external to internal ability to define theself assists in the social and professional development of students.25Context of CourseProgram and Course DescriptionThe University of Michigan’s Multidisciplinary Design Program was established in 2007. Asseen in Conger et al., students were excited to begin their engineering programs at the university,but there was a disconnect from what they learned in their courses to their professional practiceafter graduation.26 MDP is but one piece of the university’s commitment to prepare engineersfor the 21st century and beyond. Recognizing the need for cooperation and collaboration amongdifferent disciplines in the design process, a common experience for all engineers, MDP, wascreated to allow students and teams
experiences.Dr. Marie C Paretti, Virginia Tech Marie C. Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

Anderson serves as the Academic Unit Head for the Department of Graduate Psychology at James Madison University. She holds a doctorate in Assessment and Measurement. She previously served as the Associate Director of the Center for Assessment and Research Studies at JMU. Her areas of research include assessment practice and engineering education research.Cheryl Alyssa Welch Alyssa Welch is a Psychological Sciences master’s student in the concentration of Experimental Psychol- ogy, and a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the
is also an important educational objective. They need tounderstand that when they practice as engineers, the design knowledge they lack as studentsis readily accessible through networks of people built up over time with collaborativerelationships.3,6The third challenge is the lack of experienced teaching assistants. The emphasis on leadingedge engineering science research in engineering faculties has resulted in weak (if any)practical design knowledge among teaching staff and graduate students who would normallybe teaching assistants. Therefore, it is necessary to find designers residing nearby who havetime and inclination to contribute to educating students for relatively modest pay and also tonegotiate mutually satisfactory employment

opportunities and challenges that they may encounter as they progress intotheir junior and senior years? These include paid project/research opportunities, career fairs, internships,graduate school and a rapidly changing job market. Our focus, at Arizona State University’s (ASU’s) FultonSchools of Engineering, has been on a longstanding ENG scholarship-projects-mentoring program at ourfour year ENG institution – a program serving mostly upper-division transfer students (generally about70%), some upper-division non-transfers (~25%) and scholars continuing as graduate students (~5%) thathave progressed through the program. Despite this, the ideas presented are useful for all ENG students. Wewant students to become aware, take control, and pursue
changethe market dynamics of CAD design through revitalization of the design curriculum. Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting. In addition, since the competitive aspect of design competitionsto create superior designs push students to explore new/creative design avenues

experience working on collaborative teams, particularly with students of other disciplines.Educators might incorporate industry collaborative organizational structures, but while there aresome aspects of collaboration used in industry that faculty can incorporate, often those modelsare complicated by the need to achieve academic goals. The potential benefits ofinterdisciplinary teamwork include development of communication skills and the incorporationof and exploration of a multi-layered, more creative solution from different viewpoints, whichneed to be balanced with students’ acquiring and incorporating new material and carving time forassignments that demonstrate student outcomes for accreditation.

In is on this bases that Rhyme has partnered with Mr Ben Groenewaald (Departmental Head- DEECE ) and Dr Christina Carmen (a capstone design class coordinator in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering de- partment at the University of Alabama in Huntsville(UAH)) on this ALLiance for International Excellence among the future Space workforce (ALLIES).

database and query processing The database is written in Java and SQLite. Using Java and html, we interact with thedatabase using a locally hosted web interface that serves as the GUI. For LS written byindividual students, the tables include one for the assignment, one for the student, and one tablefor the LS. We show the attributes that are stored in each of these tables in Figure 5. Eachstatement that is written must be unique to be placed in the database. This was done to ensurethat students were writing a new statement for each assignment to reflect on their learning. For1 We are keen to share this software with faculty interested in collaborating with us on writing papers andpursuing funded research opportunities
inanalytical and problem-solving skills, but those positive findings do not offset the missedopportunities for broad student growth and higher levels of overall satisfaction that lead to agrowing number of citizen engineers prepared for our newly global, age of information.Terenzini and Reason built upon the observations of Astin and found that the peer environmentplays a deeply influential role in the learning and development of college students. 7Furthermore, out-of-class experiences can have substantial impacts on student outcomes. Straussand Terenzini were able to show that graduating engineering students made gains in analyticalskills and groups skills through out-of-class experiences. 8 Yu and Simmons review of therelevant literature found that
, the resultant information was organizedaccording to the researched population (Appendix): K-12 students and teachers, collegestudents (undergraduate and graduate), and non-formal students (communities andprofessionals).K-12: Students and teachers In total, six articles represent the research around the education of students enrolled inthe K-12 ranks, principally 5th grade and secondary school, to foster social justice. In the firstcase, I found that the researchers used design as a means for learning (problem-based learning),associating the concept of social justice with how the participants addressed or solved social 10problems.
