teaching methodology of the courses is Challenge Based Instruction (CBI)because of its proven effectiveness over traditional lecturing. The course subjects developedincluded Water Science, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and Systems Modeling. All threecourses were administered to returning TexPREP fourth year students.At the beginning of each course, students were given the challenges of building a Stirling engineusing items that can be found at home, designing and constructing a solar car, and creating awater theme park for the Systems Modeling, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and Water Sciencecourses respectively. They were then guided through a series of lectures, mini projects, andassessment exercises to help them obtain the necessary knowledge to

They are much less intimidating, and I am less afraid to make mistakes.Do you have any suggestions for how we could make this event more useful? • Freshman and Sophomores – This was a pretty good event, I learned something I didn’t know anything about and was good at it and

aspect to the successful performance of student teams is communication. Student teamsnegotiate many aspects of collaboration, including deadlines, meeting times, and expectations.Previous works have found that the different meanings which people place on commonly usedwords or phrases often lead to miscommunications in the professional workplace. It is unknown,however, how this situation translates to the collegiate setting, specifically on team-basedprojects, the manners that this could potentially affect the progress of the students, and if thereare any differences in interpretation of these phrases that are along demographic lines. In thisstudent-directed project, participants (n=119) of varying technical backgrounds were surveyed asto their

Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

In general, everyengineering disciple these professional skills for a successful engineer.Despite the standards set by these societies, usually in an engineering curriculum there is noformal course on professional skills. Typically, during the capstone senior design courseundergraduate engineering students are exposed to some of these skills such as presentation andteam work. Occasionally the center of career development at an institution will offer sessions onprofessional skills usually focusing on interviews and

(e.g., control of dynamicsystems, mass transfer). In this logic, students spend the majority of their time learning a longsequence of engineering “fundamentals” before they are deemed competent to engage in creativedesign problem solving in their final-year capstone projects.3 This approach is understood as“exclusionary” not in the sense of being elitist but in the more general sense of seeking to keepout that which does not belong, including those persons (or those facets of persons) not in linewith the dominant decontextualized, narrowly technical-analytic way of problem solving withinengineering.
