classes, 25% ofstudents attend a week long residential summer institute aimed at introducing the GCSP at theuniversity. Students enroll in a semester long multidisciplinary course in their first semester toexplore the grand challenges and to develop a plan to meet program requirements. The summerinstitute and introductory course provide students an opportunity to connect with their peers andnear peers who have made progress in the GCSP and begin building a community of scholars.Subsequently, students choose their own path through the program completing courses andexperiences relevant to their Grand Challenge theme. Requirements include at least twosemesters of research, 80 hours of service learning, and coursework combined with experience(s)in

The APS addresses the following research questions: 1. How do students' engineering skills and knowledge develop and/or change over time? 2. How does one's identity as an engineer evolve? 3. What elements of engineering education

The program began in 1995 through university’s electrical and computer engineeringdepartment, and more than 3,000 alumni have graduated from EPICS in its 17 years of existence.This service-learning program has been nationally recognized8 and cited by others as anexemplar for providing a platform of real-world, engineering experience for students5, 8, 22, 23.While several in engineering education have championed EPICS and similar programs forproviding such an authentic design experience, no prior studies have investigated how suchexperiences shape the design knowledge, ability, and identity of alumni of such programs.

attributes are meant to make students aspire to becomeWorld Class Engineers (experts). Most likely, students will graduate at the proficiency level atmost, not the expert level. In other words, students should all realize that their undergraduateeducation lays a foundation for becoming a World Class Engineer. What we need to capture istheir growth toward this proficiency. An e-portfolio is a great tool to communicate highexpectations, but those should be different for students at different levels of their education. Forexample, we should communicate to first year students what we expect them to be able to doafter the first year. The idea is to set realistic goals for each year for each of the WCE attributesto keep students motivated and engaged.We

mandatory in-class activity sheets were developed and used for teaching each of the 55 concepts. This paperpresents the details of the KACIE model and its impact on fluid mechanics instruction bycomparing relevant data from the Fall 2015 control semester when the same course was offeredin a traditional teaching environment. The results show that the media-rich KACIE interventionin an HBCU has significantly improved students’ academic engagement and success,substantially reduced failure rate, and enhanced their critical thinking ability.

These instruments are needed for valid assessment andcomparison of the pedagogical variations inherent in using the variety of programminglanguages, environments, and paradigms available today.IntroductionComputers are an integral part of the engineering landscape. They are used to model potentialsolutions, collect and analyze data, and create new parts through computer aided design packagesand computer controlled machinery. They are increasingly becoming integral parts of theproducts of design, from sneakers that track the distance traveled to smart building materials thatcan report on the stresses and strains they are experiencing.
