Thus, in addition to developing the essentialskills for engineering design practice, key objectives of ENES100 include building the skills towork equitably on a team, communicate effectively with teammates, and manage a complexengineering project.MotivationOut of the learning outcomes listed above grew a need for a tangible way of assessing the team’soperational performance and design habits. While assessing the performance of the autonomousvehicle is fairly straightforward, assessing the team habits and design practices of a team is moredifficult. Additionally, a framework was needed for

The selected devices do not have to be new anddo not actually have to work although it would be preferred if they did, so students candemonstrate they successfully reassembled them. Note that this is not a project, where studentsresearch, analyze, design, and build something. While projects are very valuable in thedevelopment of good engineers, freshmen engineering students need intimate exposure to typicalequipment designed by engineers.IntroductionIt was not uncommon in years past for first-year engineering students to have significant hands-on experience related to engineering, prior to starting college. For example, some worked onmachinery used on a farm, while others worked on their cars or motorcycles

Fall 211 5 2023 Spring 156 5Course Goals and StructureThe course goals are for students to learn: (1) to analyze data in the context of engineeringproblems, (2) programming using MATLAB, (3) to work effectively in teams, (4) to prototypeusing hand tools, basic CAD, and 3D printing, and (5) to articulate differences and overlapsbetween engineering disciplines and practices. These course goals are stated on the syllabus.Students in ENGR 130 meet in two 75-minute laboratory sessions and a single, combined 75-minute lecture per week. In the lab, students complete two-week modules that combineMATLAB programming and hands-on design projects, working in teams of three or

The new sequence launched in Fall 2020, and this is the first attempt atanalyzing the effects of the new sequence post pandemic. The previous first-year sequenceconsisted of two courses that were each three credits and blended together multipletopics/disciplines. The first course in the sequence combined C programming and CAD/graphicalcommunication. The second course in the sequence included an introduction to the designprocess, a cornerstone design project, tolerance stack

Studio instruction has been used to achieve various instructional goals, such aspromoting student employability [2], concept transfer [3], use of experimental tools [4], andgenerally improved learning outcomes, e.g., performance on the force concept inventory [5].However, studio courses have unique challenges when compared with a traditionallecture-based approach. Studio pedagogy relies on a tradition of desk critique—spontaneousinteraction between student and instructor in response to student work [1]. Hence, spontaneousand reactive student-instructor communication comprises more of an instructor’s role, comparedwith lecture. Prior work on studio instruction

problem by deciding what to focus onabout the problem. This aspect also makes teaching design difficult, especially in the first yearwhen students have completed little to none of their technical coursework. To overcome thisissue, faculty sometimes reduce the complexity by making the design problem purely technical,removing social and policy factors. However, this approach can actually make the problem moredifficult for students, by obscuring the problem context and meaning. Another way facultyaddress the issue is by reducing the ill-structuredness, providing kit-based projects in whichstudents lack opportunities to frame the problem.We sought to investigate how first-year students navigated a complex and ill-structured designchallenge, guided by

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4]. Thus, the application of teamworkassessment
