As reflected inprevious quotes, this created a sense of belonging in engineering. These students created anatmosphere of acceptance and affirmation for themselves, but it expanded to the campus and waslikewise, recognized by NSBE regional. This acceptance outside of their university providedthem with a greater sense of integration into a larger engineering community. “I think from, at least when I was on regional level and looked to award my chapter with an award with participating in a community event that was hosted in Indianapolis, and also of course, in Michigan in Detroit, I

The FCAR generally contain the following information: • Course Description • Course Outcomes • Class Grade Distribution • Course Outcomes Assessment • Student Outcomes Assessment • Reflection • Proposed Action ItemsThe main idea is to capture the reflection and proposed action items for improvement of coursestaught at the grass-roots by the responsible instructors.

This of course, assumes thatdissatisfaction by employers of the quality of graduates is fed back to the Joint School (shortfeedback loop) or to the new applicants to the course via student satisfaction surveys,graduate employment statistics, or national /international surveys. These surveys may suggestthe course does not reflect the needs of modern employers.However, there is a third “Buyer Power” force which is little mentioned.

Students started trying to change assumptions and exploring parameters ofthe design to see how that would affect the results indicating an arousal of their curiosity. Forinstance, what if they changed the pipe’s diameter, the material used, the reflectivity, or addedinsulation? Figure 1 shows an insert from the students’ daily online logbook (which they wererequired to keep as part of their project documentation) that shows their curiosity in changingthese parameters.Furthermore, unlike typical problems solved in textbooks, these challenges require understandingthe constraints of dynamic contexts
