Alexandra Coso is a Ph.D. candidate in the Cognitive Engineering Center at Georgia Tech, where she is pursuing a doctorate in Aerospace Engineering. She is expected to graduate in May 2014. She received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from MIT and her M.S. in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia. Her research interests include the integration of stakeholders into the engineering design pro- cess, development and evaluation of interdisciplinary engineering courses and programs, mixed methods research designs, and graduate student experiences in engineering programs.Dr. Adam R Carberry, Arizona State University Adam R. Carberry, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University in the Fulton Schools

research faculty with experience in clinical translation.3. Methods3.1 Course overview and study design At the University of Pittsburgh, a course entitled “Controlled Drug Delivery” is offered as a cross-discipline (bioengineering and chemical engineering), upper-division elective for undergraduate students, and an engineering elective for bioengineering graduate students. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to (1) state the constraints on material properties posed by the physiological environment; (2) use the fundamentals of polymers, diffusion, degradation, modeling and pharmacokinetics to solve problems specific to controlled drug delivery; and (3) demonstrate ability to search and summarize
culture in which it is practiced. ○ If you believe that engineering reflects social and cultural values, explain why and how. Defend your answer with examples. ○ If you believe that engineering is universal, explain why and how. Defend your answer with examples. ● There is a variety of mobile phones commercially available in the market (e.g. iPhone, Galaxy, Huawei Mate, Nokia). Can there be a single best design for a smartphone? ○ If you believe that there is a single best design for a smartphone, please explain why. ○ If you believe that there is not a single best design for a smartphone, please explain why.Appendix C.

Early research from the author’s participant observationwith one team is discussed in this paper, and is presented as a foundation for future researchwithin the global FSAE community and similar PBL* teams.Engineering PBL* Teams as Serious Leisure PBL* teams provide engineering students with opportunities to apply academic learningto a variety of applied contexts and gain valuable practical experience with “soft skills” such asteamwork, project management, interpersonal communication, conflict negotiation
Paper ID #34445Complexity of Engineering Disciplines as an Engineering Gate Keeper?Exploring Literature Related to Students’ Selection of and Admittanceinto Engineering MajorsTyler Milburn, The Ohio State University Tyler Milburn is currently a Ph.D. student studying Engineering Education at Ohio State University where he serves as a Graduate Teaching Associate for the first-year engineering program. He is co-advised by Dr. Krista Kecskemety and Dr. Rachel Kajfez and his research interests include understanding how students apply to engineering majors and the experiences they face when they are rejected from an engineering
facilitators chosen had both graduated from their undergraduate degrees the month before facilitating their programs. The first researcher had experience with her program because she had previously been a student in the program. The second researcher worked in the office that hosted several summer programs over the year, but in this paper, she focuses on her experiences with the coeducational program for high school students. Consistent with our research design, the authors and facilitators collaboratively developed a series of six shortanswer prompts (AF) to answer our two research questions. The first prompt related to understanding the overarching goals for each program (A). Three prompts focused on facilitation and logistic issues related to
let aloneteacher empathy.In engineering education, though the concept of empathy is implicitly present in engineeringthrough human-centered design and user design [19], active use of empathy as a skill to connectwith customers is not commonplace in engineering “as these terms traditionally do not mesh withthe dominant image of engineering” [20, p. 2]. Much of the research on empathy and its relatedterminology [20] is focused on teaching empathy to students and how students become moreempathetic [21]–[23]. For example, Walther et al. [21] introduced empathy modules in anundergraduate mechanical course to practice empathy as a skill and provided results of thesensitive nature and complexity of teaching empathy.While most of the research in

embedded within our research design.Because engineering education researchers are also educators, the asymmetric relationshipbetween teacher and student can impact the quality of the interview data. For instance, there issomething potentially problematic about having faculty members interview students about thedifficulty they have speaking with faculty. While there may be other methods for facilitatingaccess, having students interview other students enabled us to tap more directly into studentexperiences.1 We also realized, through the course of this pilot study, that we were inviting ourstudent researchers to engage in a practice that was contiguous with a mode of interactionfamiliar to students—talking to friends about the challenges they were
