involved in managing and curating Big Data throughout its life cycle. 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. This backward course design wasfacilitated using the TiLT

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

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

So, a lot of quantity takeoffs, looking up specs, just trying to like assist estimators, and any kind of monotonous work, you know. So, it was cool, like learning from everybody, though, because they obviously everyone in that office was super knowledgeable. I’m kind of hoping to get out on a project next summer.

ABET lists“an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” as astudent outcome in its outcomes-based assessment of engineering curricula [1]. Early careerengineers often describe effective teamwork and interpersonal skills as the most importantcompetencies in their jobs [2, 3]. The formation of teams can significantly affect how well a teamworks together, and team formation and function have been studied in engineering curriculum fordecades [4–6].

sculptures, also provide insight into earlyhuman design practices and the role of form and aesthetics in design. However, the writtenhistorical record of evidence of early humanoids' cognitive awareness of design as a formalprocess is weak, or nonexistent. Even the way we think about design, whether as a linear process,cyclical, or continuous can impact how we embody it in the world of objects, plans, devices,technology, human, or more-than-human concerns [32]. These more-than-human conceptsinclude ecological agency and systems, biocentrism, Anthropocene, non-life entities, and AI androbotic systems.The English word ‘design’ has its origin in the 1540s, meaning “to plan or outline or a scheme orplan in mind” derived from the French ‘desseign’ which

She offers the example of the PorteusMaze, which was used as a measure of intelligence in Africa at the height of colonial rule.Students were given a printed plan of a maze and had to trace a path they would follow to get tothe center of the maze. However, as more Africans than Europeans were successful in getting tothe center of the maze, this test was abandoned as a measure of intelligence [16].The PSVT:R was developed by Roland Guay in 1977 at Purdue University, cites Sorby andBaartmans [9

However, this initial enthusiasm requires careful moderation to prevent it fromeclipsing the core content goals and to mitigate the risk of activity fatigue, which can emerge fromrepetitive LbE use. A critical issue noted was the difficulty in connecting these engaging activities withthe design thinking framework comprehensively. During the Explore phase, LbE effectively facilitateddesign ideation, promoting hands-on exploration. Yet, the efficacy of this phase hinged on the structureddelivery of LbE sessions. Without meticulous planning, students struggled to express their experientiallearnings, highlighting a gap in
