2019 ASEE Annual ConferenceIntroduction:To invite high school students into a college setting to learn about engineering design, and 3Dprinting to spark interest in STEM related programs, thirteen high school students (10th and 11thgrade) were invited to participate in a two-week summer camp at North Carolina A&T StateUniversity (NCAT) campus. The team that conducted the workshop is composed of two NCATfaculty members, one undergraduate student and a high school teacher. The workshop took placebetween July 9 and 20th, and started at 9 AM, and ended at 5 PM. The lunch break was at 12 noon(lunch was provided). The main objective of the workshop was to prepare a pipeline of students inthe area of advanced manufacturing and 3D-printing.In
ASEE conference proceeding with the MULTI division was achieved through theASEE Peer database with the search for term “multidisciplinary” based on two inclusion criteria:1) the studywas published in MULTI division; 2) the study was published during 2006-2020. The search started from 2006because that was when the ASEE’s first ABET accreditation visits for multidisciplinary engineering programswere carried out and the ASEE MULTI division was formally recognized. In total, 488 records were foundusing these two criteria, among which 14 papers were also included in the “System Engineering” division (10in 2011 and 4 in 2016), 17 papers were also included in the “Liberal Education/Engineering & Society” division(12 in 2013 and 5 in 2019), and 4

For this specific project, theretention rate of the participants was 100%, higher than that of all freshman and sophomorestudents in CBAS, which is 69.1% from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020. As the delivery method of mostcourses offered by MTSU switched to Remote, Online, or Web-assisted in Fall 2020, manystudents had financial difficulties, mental health related issues, and difficulty adjusting to thenew learning methods. As a result, there was a significant negative impact to the students’ GPAin Fall 2020, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we did not see an improvementover the participants’ GPA

In the next few years going forward, the university aims to recruitan additional 130 students each year, with plans to grow the faculty as well, while a permanentcampus is being built. It ultimately aspires to reach a steady state of roughly 3000 students intotal after 10 years.The students come from a variety of backgrounds.

Compared to traditional service learning, EPICS differs by implementing studentlearning through design projects with real community partners, multidisciplinary teams, industrymentors, and projects that span multiple semesters with potentially new student teams everysemester. In this work, the multidisciplinary team factor is examined due to the

), and onebrave sophomore (1).BackgroundAs described by Hoople and Choi-Fitzpatrick in a work in progress at ASEE in 2017 [16], thecourse that these students participated in was organized around objectives that included studentlearning about working in teams and collaborating while building drones.The output of each team was a jointly-constructed drone and a team-designed plan for a “pro-social drone”—that is, a design that would somehow have a positive impact on society. Studentswere challenged to wrestle with what it means for something to be pro-social. In the syllabusstudents were alerted to the ways that this class was likely to be different than others that theyhad taken before.As Hoople and Choi-Fitzpatrick describe it, the course was

Education, 2019 Sustainable Design Experience: The Race to Zero CompetitionAbstractThe architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has become more complex,requiring changes in both design and construction processes and demanding more collaborationamong all the stakeholders. Enhancing collaboration in the AEC industry highly depends onchanges in the education of AEC professionals to provide an educational venue for students toexperience collaborative learning and develop the required professional culture and skills. Byusing the Purdue Team’s experience in the 2018 RTZ competition as a case study, this paperprovides insight into the interdisciplinary collaboration experience of designing a zero-energybuilding (ZEB) and

Specifically, this paper focuses on Ed+gineering’s implementation intwo education courses and two engineering courses during Spring 2019: Collaboration 1, duringPSTs’ and UESs’ first courses in education and engineering, respectively, and Collaboration 2,during an elementary science methods course and a fluid mechanics course near the end ofeducation and engineering students’ respective programs.Research Questions 1. How did PSTs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence their engineering and science knowledge? 2. How did PSTs’ and UESs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence
