students needed to write three short mid-term papers(approximately 5 pages in length, and citing at least three references) and one final paper(approximately 10 pages in length). Students were given suggestions for the mid-term and finalpapers; these suggestions are listed in Table 2. Students were also encouraged to suggest otherideas for their papers, particularly with respect to their final paper. If students were able toidentify a topic for their final paper that overlapped with their primary major, they wereencouraged to explore that topic. For example, one student from education prepared as theirfinal paper a lesson plan for 4th-grade students on energy. Another student from business did acase study on the Enron case to explore how energy

This lead to an expectation that the new GenEd program at UMD wouldinclude engineering as an equal partner in planning and implementation along with the rest of theuniversity.The A. James Clark School of Engineering at UMD now participates actively in the I-Series,Scholarship in Practice, Natural Sciences and Diversity components of the GenEd program.

Hence, badging fits well into our stated goals.This type of learning is only amplified by the feedback loop a badge system invites.

Theproject is carried out in groups of 5 students and focus on the compressor cycle. One aim is todetermine the efficiency (coefficient of performance) for a traditional kitchen refrigerator. Amethod to carry out this is proposed to the students, but they need to plan, carry out, analyze andpresent all measurements and calculations by themselves. There is continuous supervision, butonly when the students ask for it. Care is taken to let the students be in charge of their ownwork.Apart from the engineering thermodynamics objectives, the project aims to give the

class debates may take unexpected turns, raise unanswered questions, uncover unknown situations, or bring to light things that are not usually covered in everyday conversations. The faculty must establish from the beginning an academic approach to any subject, respect among all participant in the discussion, and a sense of curiosity that will encourage everybody to explore areas of knowledge and thought never experienced before.3. This class is a good candidate to be organized as a Socratic Seminar.

The contingentapproach has some similarities with bricolage [39] or process of creating meaning through theresources available at hand. Levi-Strauss contrasted the bricoleur against the engineer whodevelops new tools and organizes resources according to a well thought through plan with adefined end. While the engineer’s work is precise with elements of permanence, the bricoleurcombines elements that already exist in ways they were not intended for.Another way to frame these two approaches is that methods based on necessity are causal whilethose based in contingency are teleological

Likewise, serviceteaching refers to the practice of knowledge and expertise of one school or department to teachstudents in a course co-ordinated by another academic unit.

The role of the change agent is that of an engineer or manager.In contrast Theory B views issues as tensions between portions of the system and/or multipleactors that represent a dynamic equilibrium within the system. This equilibrium is the state ofthe system as it currently exists and the state in turn is defined by the existence of tensions. Thetensions do not exist by design, rather they arise almost coincidentally from rational ordefensible positions taken by actors or organizational units within the system
