focus on realization rather than iteration[41]. Studies into strategies to prototype efficiently and effectively often have a specific focussuch as rapid prototyping [2,17,22,34,39], planning [6,8,10], conceptualization [11,14,15,21,29]or how prototyping fits in the overall design process [5,9,16,18,22,24,27,30,33,35,36,37,40,41,44].While several methods have been devised to bridge the gap between digital and physicalprototyping in specific contexts [2,10,15,17] such as rapid prototyping, few efforts have been madeto codify a method for the decision-making process between digital and physical prototypes ateach stage of the design journey. In exploring the physical design space, several studies haveconfirmed that because many concepts in the

projectsAbstractEngineering curricula featuring senior design experiences may be the first time students have anopportunity to experience a team-based, open-ended authentic design. The curriculum at a small,urban, private school is centered around a series of hands-on, client-based design courses in eachof the four years of the plan of study called the DesignSpine®. Projects are completed over thecourse of a full academic year. Clients for these student projects are mainly external industrypartners, with some internal faculty or departmental clients and a small number of competitions.Faculty serve in multiple roles, including technical consultants and project team coachesthroughout the program.While historically successful, semester evaluations and team status

Data collected and analyzed in the pilot study suggests that graph-based complexityanalysis is a promising approach to measure learning in engineering design. The objectivemeasurements presented in this work show a trend of change in knowledge from before theintervention to after, and ultimately a partial relapse in the retention session. In addition to thesystematic evaluations of the concept graphs, the following observations are notable. • Many of the participants had “requirements” in their concept maps created in the “after” session.

To facilitate thisprocess, the instructors provided templates for the project management plan document, weeklyprogress reports, and project update meetings.The Design Control Pillar focused on gathering customer requirements, developing designrequirements, and creating and verifying design solutions.

Big Data refers tothe vast, complex datasets characterized by the 4 Vs, Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Veracity,which require specialized analysis tools and approaches.This Big Data Life-cycle Model consists of several key activities, each playing a role in handlingthe different challenges posed by large and complex datasets [23, 24]. The following are the keycomponents of the Big Data Life-cycle Model, as shown in Figure 4: • Planning Activity: This involves strategizing and outlining objectives related to handling Big Data by considering the volume, variety, velocity, and veracity of data. • Acquiring Activity: This is how data is produced, generated, and ingested

building systems are planned and installed independently [8]. Traditional designcan be understood as a linear process, but sequential work routines may be unable to support anyadequate design optimization efforts during individual phases, which could lead to higher projectcosts [9]. Integrative design considers and optimizes the building as an integral system for itslifespan. This can be achieved when all project actors collaborate across disciplines and agree ondecisions jointly from the beginning.The integrated design process emphasizes the iteration of design concepts early [9]. Participantscontribute their ideas and technical knowledge collectively and in the early stages. For the earlydesign phases, concepts must be worked together for all

reviewed and considered efforts toredesign first-year engineering experiences at colleges and universities across the country andidentified skills that would better prepare first-year students for success in their future coursesand careers. A major recommendation was the adoption of a new two-course sequence for first-year students. This sequence will replace the current one-unit introductory seminar course forfirst-year engineering and computer science students.A backward design process — that began with student learning outcomes and produced contentand assignments that would support these outcomes — was used by a subsequent summerworking group to develop plans for the two-course sequence.

Each student design team has a designated faculty advisor who serves astheir “director” and students lead regular meetings with their industry client through the courseof the project. Class sessions are termed “morning meetings” and the course has an employeehandbook rather than a syllabus. The students are guided through the engineering design process,teams typically brainstorm and select a design in the first semester and manufacture and test theirdesign in the spring semester. The first semester concludes with teams presenting their design totheir client and holding a manufacturing review, a test plan review, and a proposed budgetreview to

inconsultation with their tech demo committee. The tech demo committee was a consistent groupof 4-5 faculty who established requirements for the tech demo and evaluated the team’sperformance during the technical demonstration. The first tech demo helps ensure that studentsorder parts and start assembly (of at least the critical sub-components) of the end product. Onepractical benefit is that delays from out-of-stock parts, inappropriate designs and flawedprocesses are addressed earlier, and thus less likely to delay the project. In addition, new andreplacement parts with long shipping times can often be ordered over winter break, improvingoverall time management. The tech demo emphasizes to students that planning out a design onpaper, and implementing

This means not interrupting when someone else is talking.The instructors will also provide the scope of the items and talking points for discussion in eachmeeting to the cornerstone and capstone teams.2. Assessment ToolsVarious assessment tools are planned to assess the research questions and to help improve theimplementation of the peer mentorship model for future semesters. Specifically, a pre and post-activity survey was designed, and some of the questions are listed in the Appendix for both thefirst-year design and senior design cohorts.

Since these topics are mostfrequently covered, capstone instructors must generally feel that they are important. The topicsthemselves are not TCs, but they are a promising set of topics within which to look for TCs.Communication, elements of design process (planning/scheduling, concept generation, anddecision making), and teamwork emerged as common themes. Communication is a topic thatmany students struggle with, and good communication enables success in nearly all other aspectsof capstone design. It was identified by Capstone-to-Work researchers ([5], [6]) as a topic thatstudents struggle with at work and one where they rely on their

subproblems and deciding how to approach each one. This topic is especially important because many engineers work on design teams, and themembers of a team need to work together to carry out the design process. An ad hoc approach toplanning the design process will create confusion and increase the risks of project failure (e.g.,poor product or system performance as well as cost and schedule overruns). Despite the growing need for design process planning skills, existing engineering educationprograms fail to provide opportunities for engineering students to learn these meta-reasoning skills.Many engineering students learn only standard product and systems development processes [2, 3].In a typical engineering design course, the students follow

Among the non-technicalskills desired by employers are effective communication, delivering high-quality presentations,project planning, teamwork, and time management [30].

One review was to explore what previous work has identified relativeto engineering leadership competencies and the second review would explore the previousresearch related to engineering design competencies.
