Therefore, an element of bait-and-switchremains, but the outlet of creative, synthetic, hands-on design in an intimate, supportive learningenvironment is both present and institutionally legitimated as part of students’ formalizededucational experience. This arrangement challenges the logic of exclusion prevalent within theengineering-only programming by overlaying a logic of engagement on top of the standardfundamentals-first engineering curriculum.

facilitators of a student-led learning process [12]. Engineering educators have adapted similar PBL approaches such as capstone designprojects and engineering student design teams to complement the more traditional, basic-sciencebased engineering curriculum. Project-based learning (noted as PBL*) team opportunities arequalitatively different than traditional PBL efforts in one demonstrable way. Engineering projectteams tend to engage more complex design challenges over a longer period of time compared toin class PBL investigations commonly used in medicine[2]. This qualitative difference createstwo organizational challenges unique to engineering project-based learning teams. Student PBL* teams must sustain team motivation throughout a

Given the nature of senior designcourses, they offer an opportunity for engineering programs to integrate the outcomes of ABETcriteria [1]. In contrast to much of the undergraduate curriculum, the problems that students workon in senior design tend to be more ambiguous, require the consideration of multiple tradeoffs,and have no ‘right’ answer. As such, engineering design problems require individuals to makedecisions about what counts as knowledge by assessing various sources of information,balancing constraints, and evaluating alternative solutions. These acts can be grouped together asepistemic cognitive processes and require individuals to reason “about specific

Understanding and being able toengage in translational work is thus an important issue for emerging scholars.Consider, as a public manifestation of translational work, formal research publications.
